Mr., Douglas paused, and, with a burst of feeling which sent a thrill to every heart, exclaimed — “When 1 see my fellow-citizens, and the women, and the children, willing and continuing to sit through a drenching torrent of water from the heavens, to hear me tell them of the dangers of our glorious Unjoo, I feel new courage to go forward and battle for our common safety.” Even as he spoke, the cloud passed'away and a bright ray of sunlight fell upon the speaker. He paused again, apd, raising his hand toward the sun, exclaimed—“ See, my friends, the cloud has passed away.” ,
