MR. DAVID PAUL BRows's LECTURE before
the Mercantile Library Association last evening,
upon The Ruling Passion OF Mans nature, was
not restricted to the consideration OF single emo
ZION or propensity. Mr.. q promised that ne con-
sidered the human breast, though sometimes pre-
senting revolving spectacle Of Anarchy, SOME
times yielding to the imperious sway of single
ID ~;--,,-
fully assimila,ed to well-ordercd Republic, in
which all the various desises and aspirations blend
in HARMONIOUS and benehcent equality, none tyran-
nizing over the others. He therefore proceeded
to consider the several passions of which each has
at times obtained the mastery over Man, swaying
him to its impulses, and moulding his character in
its own likeness.
First among these may be considered the uHiver-
sal passion, Love, which he considered in Its var-
GUS relations and manifestations-,he love of Pa
fcnt and Child, of Man and Woman, the affection
Of the attached and the united for each other, Of
the old bachelor for himself. Having discussed
and elucida,cd these, Mr.. B. proceeded TO con-
slider the love Of Country or Patriotism, and the
love OF Home, which two he maintained, arc in
separable, or, al any rate TIE former cannot exist
without the latter. Ne man ever profoundly and
steadfasty loved his Country who did not reve-
rently cherish and value the delights OF Home
Friendship was in like manner considered by the
lecturer, and the most remarkable examples of it
in ancient and modern history rapidly passed in
review before the audience, with the remark that
no striking instance of devoted friend ship between
Women had ever been recorded. This he ac-
counted for on the principle that The fragile and
delicate patIIe desires protector, not an equal,
as the ivy clings TO the rough oak, eyen though
Iifelsss and withercd at heart
Ambition, or the passion for conquest and do
minion, considered, especially exhibited in
the career of the most celebrated conquerors-
Alexander, Cesar and Napoleon. In regard TO
NapoIeens dying EXPLANATIONS Of "tfte a'armee."
(head of the army &c. Mr.. B. took different
CARDS it as referring tosome fierce conflict in which
the dying warrior deliriously imagined himself COM
manding. He considered it rather a mournful re-
Election on his own f2te-the Great Captain of the
age, the world-renowned chief of warriors, dying
on lonely island, deserted by all the sharers Of
his glory, and even by the wife Of his bosom.
Mr.. Brown proceeded to the consideration Of
Avarice, or the absorbing passion for Wealth, and
thence the other evil passions, but position
was necessarily one where even hearing was diff
cult and reporting impossible-so we gave it up
and departed
