Brother Jonathan.

The remains of Jonathan Trumbull, the first “war Governor” of Connecticut and the “Brother Jonathan” of the revolution, rest in a grass-covered and neglected tomb at Lebanon, the citizens of which town are now taking the preliminary steps toward the erection of a suitable memorial to his memory. It is proposed to dedicate the monument in 1890, on the day that marks the one hundred and fifth anniversary of the death of Governor Trumbull. Too great refinement is false delicacy, and true delicacy is solid refinement.—Rochefoucauld.
