The Rev. Sylvester Larned, the subject of this me- moir, was born in Pittsfield, (Mass. ) August 31st, 1796, and was the son of Col. Simon Larned, an officer of high standing in the American army. It is said that tlic germ of that commanding eloquence, for which he was so much distinguished in life, began to be seen and felt at the tenderest age. When quite a boy, while sporting with his brother on one occasion, he laid a wager with him that he could make him weep by talking to him. There was a...t that time nothing solemn in their situation or employment. But he commenced his appeal; and such was the mighty power of tlie young orator's pathos, that in a very short time he actually melted down his brother into unwilling tears; and then, with a wagish taunt, claimed his prize. At the early age of thirteen, he was chosen by his fellow-students of the Academy of Pittsfield, to deliver an oration on the Anniversary of our country's independence. This he did with a self- possession and a power, which surprised even those who admired him most.
