IL Whitehouae, the deslgner of the vase, then sald that the making of It had heen awaork of love, and that all who had taken part in it were proud of having done so. The cifht artificers whose united labor produced the vasé, Atomd up I a group on the stage while Mr, Whitchouse spoke. Aa the drapery which con- cenled tho vase, standing fn the eentre of the platform, was about to be rafsed, Dr. Osgood, thirowing out both arms, and speaking over his shoulder to the nudience, suld, * Nobody hos seen this but the workmoeni but we are all dyfug tosco it Then cverybody leancl | forward and walted breathlossly. “As the cloth was thrown backward and the great vasc on ita Dbeautiful pedestal was revealed, ahining In the gaslighty . burst of applause greoted it, nnd ind while the organ was plaging Mr, Bryant luoked ot it and spoke in low fones to M.

Osgood then thanked Mr. Whitehouse and the worktnen for what they had done, and said It was a-fit commemorative gift to the patriareh of American letters, Willlam Cutlen Bryant, who in his purpose and bis_thought wore the mantle of Adam 8mith and Dcn{nmhl Franklin. Aftbr more inusie, Dr. Osgood presented the vaso to Mr. Bryaut in an eloquent speech, Loud ¢inpping of hands greeted “every utter- ance of the name of the_poet, who stood with 18 white ead hialf bowed in silence, Whien Mr, Brynat stepped forward to roply, round after_round of applause rnnfi through the hall, and when he begin to speak In - clear ringing volce, thery was ahush.

(Laughter.) Therefore he would choose to re- gard it presentation as an act of gencronity and of princely muniicence—a municfience like that whicli sends the refreshing rain and the sweet gunshine allke on the jugt and the un- Just. The wonder was that the artsts had been able to evolve so nuch imagery as the vase ex- pressed out of a life 0 plain‘ne that of him to whomn it was presented.
