To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is, sir, unnecessary for me, after the interesting remarks of his friend and colleague, to enter into the details of the history of B Mr. Kaufman's life— a life, alas ! so suddenly closed ! What a startling warning of the uncertain tenure by which we hold it ! " Man walks forth a lord of the earth to-day, To-morrow beholds him a part of its clay. " Mr. McCLERN AND said : Mr. Speaker, 1 would not unduly pro- tract this melancholy sight, but my feelings prompt me to speak, and I trust the Hous...e will indulge me while I add a few words to what has been already so eloquently and appropriately said by others. Having known the deceased from the date of his service in this body, in 1846, to the hour of his death, my opportunities enable me to bear testimony to his high merit ; and I can truly say, what I feel, that he was an amiable and courteous gentle- man, a true and generous friend, and an able and efficient Repre- sentative. His entrance into this body was marked by the close of an epoch of angry political contest, connected with the admis- sion of Texas into the Union — a contest which fixed on him the scrutinizing, if not jealous, eyes of many observers, and which devolved on him a very delicate and responsible part in the coun- cils of the nation.
