OPINION OLE TILE ENGLISH PRESS.

owe have read Mr.. III. :. Browns Lectures
with much satisfaction, MIR. Brown knows now
qualification for it, if may Judge from his
nnr;nted addresses. There is no maudiin sentiment
tality about him; but all is healthfu as the breeze
ON the hill There is no clap-trap; he is both too
honest and too earnest for that. ihere Is netner
Pharisaic scorn of vice, nor any effcmnate
apolipizing for it, but wise Christian mans
righteous hatred of it, who knows how to look on
those who are sin-degraded as his brethren lie
speaks to the people almost as one OF themselves,
only from higher level and, though he uses their
daily phrases. vet he does not thereby pandcr to
vulgarity. He has happy acquaintance with our
homely common sense proverbs, and employs them
tcllingly. There is affectaton OF extraordinary
concern for the poor or their SOUS Dut there
is that real manly concern which afford to dis
pcnsc with profession, and to express itself chiefly
in calm hut brave and sensiby earnest cndeavOurs.
The proverb. Much cry and little WOOL you may
reverse in his case. His true desire to benefit the
people is partly shown by the pains with which he
collects and prepares the statistics of vice, poverty
disease. &C., in order that his well marshaed facts
may preach TO the understanding The commences
of his earnestness is evidenced by the cheerfuness
with which il tolls along the highway OF common
sense He has no recourse to reckless, undlscrimi-
mating charges and is too strong for exaggeratIon
Truth is enough for him; would thas this were no
distinction While he faithfully touches the worst
vices vet Won never feel that the censor himself
must have coarse taste or prurent IMAGINATION:
These Sunday afternoon lectures are not sermons,
nor intended to be. In them he grapples with
acknowledged evils; but still, while opening the
eyes of the people to the real nature of much OF
what their daily life too often is, and showing what
it might be, he is never ashamed of the Gospel OF
Christ nor chargeable' with even seeming to let
them go away with the impression that anything
else, and not the kingdom of heaven, is the first
thing to be sought. In Mr. Brown we have man
who, we should judge, afford to go where any
classes of Gods creatures are domesticated, for he
is strong and his strength is hCly. "--NOnthly

We always hate to spoil good story, especially
when we take into consideration the amount of val

the above item !; but it needs correcting in one
or two slight particulars. it must be did. In the
first place, the term new church is rather iude-
mite, as there are two " new churches" now under
process of erection in this village; but we suppose
the editor means the Universalist Church, as that
Is the building in which Mr.. Hubbard intends
preaching. If our surmise in this is correct, Mr..
Hubbard could not have received his "heavy fall

the time the siding is put on. Secondly-Mr. Hib-

We refer to

a speedy and permanent cure.
AS specifics for the above men-
toned diseases, they are UnrivaIed,
and never known to fail when adj
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
