Mr. Spofford was a man of kindly and charitable disposition 

 and of a temperament which once known, was as peaceful and 

 attractive as the cooling rivulet on a summer day. Absolutely 

 unconscious of his distinction and never courting notoriety, he 

 came and mingled with us all, giving help, advice and encour- 

 agement to those who would drink of the Pierian spring.
