As time went on, his people noticed a change: he be came indolent and indifferent, left off visiting, and although he preached with more eloquence, he lost his power. At last he retired, apparently wearied out with his work. His manner to friends was that of a man half-dazed, though he occasionally roused himself to some thing of his old energy. An instance of this occurred at a social gathering one evening at his own house at which we were present.
