Lecture by James Russell Lowell, Esq,
At THE LOUVELL INSTITUTE, BOSTON,

We are under many obligations to friend
in Boston, for a series of Lectures recently de-
livercd at the Lowell Institute, in that city, by
JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL, Of Cambridge. The
subject Of these lectures is English Poetry >
they are unsurpassable in originality and beau
", and perfect appreciation Of the subject
The Lecturer has very recently been elected
Professor of Modern Languages and Bellies let
ters in Harvard College We are certain our
readers will thank us for the privilege of perus-
ing the following lecture, upon popular theme.
These Lectures"-(so write the person, to
whom we are indebted for their perusal >" are
quite popular here, and hope you will find
them sufficiently interesting to re-publish part
if not all in your own paper. The Lowell In
stitute belongs to the people" 1t is free
institution founded by its nameSake, who left
a handsome sum for the purpose-the interest
of which only is used This donation has been
so well managed, as to enable the Directors to
extend their means from year to year,-they
have bought the old Marlboro Chapel, which
is now only used for their Society. There are
usually four courses of Lectures given during
the season. The present conrse, has been so
popular that they are repeated Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons-the regular course being
given the Tuesday and Friday nights previous.
Tickets for these lectures are drawn by lot
All persons wishing them put down their names
in big book, opened for this purpose, and du-
ly advertised. At the end of specified time
the number of tickets to be given out are coun-
ted-the names divided accordingly. This
time all who heldltickets divisibIe by fire drew

BALLADS.

One of the laws of the historical Macbeth de-
clareS that" Fools, minstrels, bards, and all
other such idle people unless they be specially
licensed by the King, shall be compelled to seek
some craft to win their living" and the old
Chronicler adds approvingly-" these and such
like laws were used 10y King Macbeth, through
which he governed the realm ten years in good
Justice
do not quote this in order to blacken the
memory of that unhappy monarch. The poets
commonly contriye to be even with their enc
mics in the end, and Shakespeare has taken an
ample revenge | cite it only for the phrase
unless they be speciality licensed By the hing, which
points to a fact on which | propose to dwell for
few moments before entering upon my more
immediate object.
When Virgil said Arnsa, rirun,qHe caao, arms
and the man / sing, be defined in the strictest
manner the original Office Of the poet, and the
object of the iudicious Macbeth's ordinance was
TO prevent any one from singing the wrong arms
and the rival man. Formerly the poet held
recognised place in the body polite, and, if he
has been deposed from it, it may be some con-
ISOLATION to think that the Fools, whom the
Scotch uSurper included in his penal statute,
have not lost their share in the government OF
the world yet, nor, if we may trust appearances,
are likely to for some time to come. But the
Fools here referred to were not those who had
least but those who had most wit, and assumed
That disguise in order to take away any danger

EFFEcTrAL METHOD FOR DESTROYING RArs,
"A correspondent of the Genesee Farmer
gives the following method for destroying rats
He says
Gone day stranger came to the house to
buy some barley, and hearing my father NEIL
ton the difficulty he had in freeing the house
of these disagrecablc tenants, he said he could
put him in the way of getting rid Of them with
very little trouble His directions were simp>
ly these: mix quantity of arsenic with any
sort Of grease, and plaster itpretty thick around
all their holes. The rats, he said, if they did
not eat the poison, would soil their coats in
passing through the holes and as, ike all fur
red animals, they are very cleanly, and cannot
endure any dirt upon their coats, to remove the
offensive matter they would lick their fur au.l
thus destroy themselves This plan was immc-
diately put in practice, and in months time
not a rat was to be seen about the house or
barn"

SUNNI Err FRls ND S,
BY FREERIC 5. CoZZENs.

When spring the fields in dases dressed
And flushed the woods with maple buds,
sped little blue-bird's nest
Within cedar's branchy studs.
Its old gray grass, inlaid with hair,
The summers sun had withered up,
And autumn's acorns still were there,
Tbough SHOWS had brimmed its tiny cup.
What then? heard pilgrim hymn;
And half forgave the long neglect,
When perched upon the threshold rim
A little feathcred architect.
And straw bv straw the walls he wrought,
And hair by hair the floor lie spread;
And when his bluc-bird wife he brought,
They slept within the nuptial bed.
oh, how loved my pranksome guest!
For him loved his help-mate too;
With Jealous care fenced their nest,
And watched them as they sung or flew.
So April passed; and gentle May
Went murmuring by with leaves and bees;
And two small blue-winged chicks had they
When summer broadened on the trees.
Nv very solitude had made
That tnv household seem more sweet;
And often to the bank strayed
To watch the nestllngs chirp and eat.
But when the palsied autumn came,
And shook the boughs, and barred the wood,
scarce the feathered brood could blame,
Though void their puny wigwam stood:
For summer friends had come like these,
Like these the summer friends had flown;
When stormy winter stripped the trees,
They left the cold and me alone

Glass Eyes and their Manufacture.

On the subject of the manufacture of glass
eyes there is but little known in this country
as most of these comes from the manufactures
OF France and Germany. 1t is an operation of
no little dexterity, care labor, and ingenuity
to make feature of the "human race divine"
and much more so that of that "window of the
soul" the eye--to give it the proper form, size,
color and that indescribable character which
t,cO pairs of eyes have in common-for no two
pair are exactly alike. Il may be of interest
to speak Of the manufacture by which piece
of senseless glass is made to initiate so nearly
as to evade sometimes the closest scrutiny and
detection, the natural eye There are several
large factories in Europe where this is the chief
subject of wOrk-and their Workmanship fairly
rivals nature.
In the first place the glass is assorted, and
only that of the clearest and purest kind chosen
for the purpose, 1t is then fused with the pri-
ming or white which is formed by the addition
of some metallic substance, generally arsenic, to
give the pearly opacity which is necessary
Sometimes slight traces of cobalt are mingled,
to give the delicate blush cast which the white
portion of the healthy natural eye has. This
being done-and the utmost care is requisite
in order that the fusion be SO conducted that
no part becomes more or less Opaque or more
or less tinged than the rest-the next point is
the coloring of the iris; and this is done with
metallic colors also-laid on the priming in the
proper position, with fine pencil, by an ex-
perienced artist, who, if the eye is made to Or
der, must have an accurate description, or still
better must have an opportunity of seeing the
eye of the individual for whom it is to be made.
For the different shades and coorS many
different metallic oxides are nccessary-the
"ccrulean blue" and "azure," the hazel" and
gray" the jet black" and chestnut brown"
with their infinite variations Of shade are all
prepared on the porcelain parlette of an eye
tindcr These once laid on, the fusion is again
gone through with; and now there remains the
most difficult of all--thc pupil to be laid in.--
For this purpose, a jet glossy black is necessa-
ry--and that it may appear more natural, it
must be so so laid on that it may appear trans
Spareat, so that one can look into if, or more
properly through it. And this is accomplished
by sinking the pupil at first, while it is in
state of partial fusion, by pressure, and laying
in the color, over which the smallest fragment
of cIearest glass is laid, the heat increased and
the eye is completed-all except the necessary
smoothing and finishing that follows This
process of the manufacture of single eve en-
ploys large number of workmcn, to each of
whom special department of labor is allOt-
ted-onc to sort the crystal glass, one to the
fusion, one to the color, etc. etc; and to this
fact it is owing that the art has advanced to
great perfection.

MORGAN FouND At LAsT,-The Masonic
Mirror publishes rather curious story, to the
effect that Morgan, who, it was alleged, was
murdered by the Free Masons, for disclosing
their secrets, has been found in Smyrna, in
Turkey; that he now goes by the name OF
Mustapha, and is engaged in teaching the Eng
lish language. The authority giyea for this
report, is one Joseph A. Bloom. According
to the Mirror, this man Bloom met Morgan, at
house in Symrna, to whom the latter gave a
detailed account of his adventures. 1t is stat
ed that Morgan left the country in the ship
Mervine, which sailed from Boston to Smyrna
and belonged to the firm of Langdon & Co.
