It bas no- ted many cbanges, important in tbemselves and tbeir conse- quences. Wbat bad been deemed imperisbable bas passed away ; wbat considered famous, become, in many instances, unknown. Iconoclasts, innovaters, reformers are busy all over tbe world. Even Kussia is breaking tbe cbains of serfdom.
"Wbat some men call unrest is agitating tbe planet we inbabit.
But tbe liglit and tbe power of true and beneficent genius, sucb as instructs and pleases man in bis peaceful and silent bours — tbese... still abide.
