spring  again,  to  life,  his  countenance  glow  with  pleasure,  his
eyes  kindle  with  delight,  -while  the  scenes  of  other  days  were
talked  over,  and  friend  after  friend  inquired  after.  But
occasionally  his  manner  of  conversation  was  so  critical  that
it  would  embarrass  those  with  whom  he  conversed.  I  recol-
lect one  instance  when  the  brother  said  that  he  felt  all  the
time  that  ho  was  conversing  with  the  Bishop  as  if  he  were
upon  oath.  Yet  this  disposition  to  criticism  did  not  dispose
him  to  controversy  in  private:  that  he  always  avoided  when
he  could  do  so  without  leaving  truth  to  Buffer.  But  woe  to
the  man  who  provoked  him  into  argument  !  T  have  in  my
mind  one  case  which  will  illustrate  this  trait  of  his  character.
