Mn. EmERsON's LECTURE AT HOPE
crowded columns do not allow us to
ava more than an abstract Of Mr.. Emersons Leo
,ue upon Wealth, before the Mercantile Library, on
Nudxy evening. The action of his mind is so Pc
csiar and the shading OF his thought, in expression
a rare that even the most accurate report fails to
mort him Justly. One of his lectures is a series of
uu.hs no, the development of single idea and the
fleet Of their uierance is that OF corruscaton of
phorisms.
Wealth he defined TO be the result of the applica.
lon Of Mind to Nature. Man is an expensive ami
nal. and needs TO be rich. The art Of the merchant
Swinging things from the spot where they are not
Ialuable I'd that where they are so. Wealth con-

ous, peaceable and happy. Every man haste thank
himself for it, The Crystal Palace is not honest
until itpsys Tha. wise nation is contented win
Hover steamers, because 1t knows satter boats lose

los respectable to live BY labor. But II man DC

makes the market a silent gallery FOR itself.
The old Philosophers placed the greatness OF
xsalth in few wants. But should be sorry il a

Emerson, is the synonym Of power. Rich men

themselves. Poorer is what thew want, not caady.
