Surrounding it Is the gar~ deu ol scven acres, hotanleally arranged, and producing finc effects, though it would be difll- cult to plick = regulation-bouquet among all ita . vatied treanurce.

Prof. Gray himself has had his frecdom but three cars. ¥ Dr, Goodale fs a young man, and, previous to occupying a Profcssor's chalr, was an energetic and anceessful physiclan, It Is common enough fora young manto teach until his medical studics arc completed, but 1t 1s a thing most uncommon for a successful physician to give up a luerative practice In order to become a teach- er, This, liowever, Mr. Goodalo did; and, as you listen to him, you do not. wonder hh enllm- sinam I8 50 Infectionn, his magnetic power so wonderful.
