Institute will, we learn celebrate its Anniversary
ON the 9th of November next by an Grafton, to be
pronounced by CHARLES EAMr>, ESq., and :" Poem
by PARK BENJAMIN, Editor of the New World.
We are exceedingly gratified to learn that among
the distinguished literary gentlemen whom this
Society has engaged for the coming series of Lee
lures is Mr.. RICHARD II. DANA of Boston. If
their whole list is made up uren the principle
which prompted his selection, the scholars and
literary men of the best order in the city, may
look forward to most delightful and instructive
The Lectures last winter were
generally good, and at all events infinitely more
worthy of support than the theatrical perform
ances, which, we happy to believe, they IN
good degree supplantsd. Though worthy the very
liberal encouragement they received, they were
vet not the best that could be given; nor did they
bv any means fully and efficiently answer the end
which should be accomplished by Public Lectures.
Great names and wide reputation-no matter for
what-had by far too much influence in directing
the choice of these public teachers. Men who
had filled high civil or political stations, returned
Diplomats, flashing orators, and persons of note,
rather than of worth, were frequently invited /;
and perhaps this was well-especially as the sys-
TEN was rather new-an experiment not then fully
tested; and some such management as this may
have been necessary in order to attract that de-
gree of public attention which the final success OF
the enterprise required. But it surely now stands
in much less need of such adventurous support;
and we hope accordingly to hear this winter men
Of thorough culture, of profound, self-communng
thought of high and worthy aims-who have
deemed withdrawal from the worlds eye and the
self-sacri6cc demanded by life Of study, not too
great price for that knowledge whichnforms and
builds up the mind and makes better the heart and
the life of man. There are many such men in
our midst-men of quiet but moving presence,
who make little stir, but in fact do great things
in guiding thought and directing the movements
Of society There is u mystery about their power
for none see its Instruments and the manner OF
its working is like that of Nature, in secret and
away from the garish light, But like Nature, TOO,
it is resistlcssly strong. and the world is finally,
though it knows not how, moved and guided by
it. We would gladly hear these men, for they
speak words of wisdom which work veal to the
soul One of the best and strongcs: Of their r-.,-
Der is Mr. Dana, and we are rcjoiced that bis
name is one of the first on the list Of those who
will lecture before the Mercantile Library Assoca,
ton this winter. He will, we understand, deliver
two lectures-the first at about the middle of No
vember. Those who had the good fortune to listen
10 his series, delivered three years ago, will be a,
no loss to appreciate the worth of his discourse
