We had the pleasure of listening to the
DR. on Tuesday evening. The audience
was not large; but was composed Of the
most intelligent and public-spirited Of our

not help thinking. as we looked over the
empty benches, that the author Of Hudibras

people. 1t isa great misfortune that there

admire the wisdom and sagacity Of the
founders Of our common school system,
which eompsls every man who owns prop

the brains Of the rising generation. But
for this provision, we fear that ip another
century our stock Of brains would be en-.
tirely exhausted.
