An admirable Lecture was delivered las,
evening before the Mercantile Library AZ.
sociation by Hon. Horace Mann, Of Massa-
chusetts. Before the commence ment Of the
lecture il was announced by the presiding
officer that it was the special desire Of Mr..
Mann that no reporter should take notes Of
his remarks. We are thus prevented from
giving The copious sketch we had intended
10 make, though in ccmplying with the re.
ques. of the orator, we occasion loss 10
our readers.
The Lecture was an earnest, profound
and deeply impressive spPeal to young men
on the great purposes Of human life, and on
the importance Of making noble choice Of
objects at The outse, OF their career. Mr.
Mann pictured with great force the contrast
between the young man whose motives Of
action were from Above, and him who was
under the dominion Of the lower appe,ites |;
between him who aspired to the heaven Of
purity and justice and him who was sunk in
the hell Of licentIous indulgence.
Mr.. Mann dwelt with great power on the
importance of physical education as the
means Of preserving health THIS he main
tanned, was the essential condition, the in
dispensible sine qua non Of all genuine pro-
gress. He depicted in glowing colors the
deadly effects of ln,emperance in running
the body and destroying the soul and in
stain Of satire, wit and severity rarely
equalled, described the folly and madness Of
the victim TO sensual passion.
The advantages Of intellectual culture
were portrayed with mastery skill. Mr..
Mann contended that the love Of beauty,
the aesthetic element Of human nature, was
equally important as the analysis Of IDEAS.
His description of the adoption Of the mate
rial universe TO furnish the soul with images
Of beauty was n specimen of eloquen. poetl-
cal thought and expression, which can new
er be forgotten by those who had the good
fortune to listen to it.
The lecture closed with a picture Of The
inflated vo,ary Of wealth, TO whom his ex-
iensive fortune had become a misfortune, ,
which mus. have broaph, blush to the
cheek of the most shameless idola,er Of
Mammon.
The wciehfy and solid thoughts presented
BY Mr.. Mann were interspersed with frs-
queht flashes Of the keenest humo-, and
armed with the pointed barbs Of pdr gent.
sarcastic wit. They were received by 4
highly in.elIieen, audience With marked at
,en.ion throughout, and were often inter-
rupted by irrcprcssibIe demonstration. Of
spplaase. We earnestly hope That this Is
not the last time we shall hear the pos erfu'
discou,ser in a New York leclure-rsom.-

circulating in this city last evening the effect that

with the abduction Of Rey. Whether or not these
have any foundation in fact we have not sufficient
information to justify us in expressing opinion. Nor
prepared to say that the circumstances attending
the abduction OF Rey of such character as to call for
such imposing and formidable warke demonstration
