A writer for the N. Y. Post has visited SPRING
field, ILL.,, and delivers himself in the following
strain: sAif
Lincoln received us with great, ana to me, sur
prising urbanity. / had seen him before in New
York and brought with me an impression of his
awkward and nngainly manners but in his own
house. where lie doubtless feels himself freer than
in the strange New York circles, he had thrown
this off and appeared easy, If not graceful. He is
tall, lank man, with long neck, and his ordinary
movements are unusually angular, even out West.
His conversation is fluent, agreeable and polite.
You see at once from it that he is man of decided
and original character. His views are all his own !:
such as he has worked out from a patient and va
red scrutiny Of life, and notsnch as he has learned
from others. Yet he cannot be called opinion
ated. S
One thing Mr.. Lincoln remarked which will
venture to repeat. He said that in the coming
Presidential campaign he was wholly uncommitted
to any cabals cliques and that he meant to keep
himself free from them and from all pledges and
promises.
I had the pleasure also Of q brief interview with
Mrs. Lincoln, and, In tile circumstances of these
persons, trust am not trespassing on the sancti
ties Of private life in saying word in regard to
that lady. Whatever Of awkwardness may be
ascribed to her husbapd there is none of it in her
On the contrary, she is quite pattern Of ladylike

and grace, and is thoroughly az fat in all tht

Mr.. Lineoln's early life, as you know, was passe
in the toughest kind of experience on the frontier
and among the roughest sort of people. Yet,
have been told, that in the face of all these infu
ences, he is a strictly temperate man, never usnl

The lecturer IN Imperial Rome.


A recent number of the Westminster Review
contains very able article on "Plutareh and his
Times" from which we extract the following
lively sketch:
That he was o lecturer is rendered probable by
two circumstances: first, that many OF his $50
called) moral works have the appearance Of notes
headings of lectures; and secondly, that his bi-
ographies abound with passages that read like
portions Of sermon, and may well have originally
been parts of ethical dscourses The lecturer by
profession has reappeared in the present day, but
not at present with so important character as he
possessed in the imperial age Of Rome. Noar he is
the occasional star of mechanics institutes; then
| he had mobiles for his auditors, and sometimes
| Caesar himself for his friend, patron, and even
hearef. N0tc he is a mere appendage to libraries;
then he was often the library of the people in him
self, dfusing useful or Improbable knowledge to
all who could afford to pay for it, and unless he is
much beled, equaling or surprising Mr. Spurgeon
/ himself in the variety of his talents
The Greeks, we know on high authority, were q
people ever desirous to hear something new; and
as they impaired the forms and fashions OF litera-
/ ture to the Romans, Rome was quite as ready as
Athens to be instructed or entertained by the
Abelards, Orator Henleys, or George Dawsons o.
the time. The performers, it must be owned, tool
uncommon pains to please They cultivated tht
art of dress no less assiduously than the art o
ispeech-arranging their hair robes and cloaks
as carefully as they rounded and balanced thei
| periods. We will attempt to portray the class
few days before his proposed exhibition, the lee
turer announced it on placards, addressed notes I
the principal inhabitants of the town and neigh
bofhood,' or called upon them with his prospet
: tns. On the day, a headle was sent round TO re
mind his friends and patrons Of the place and honr

John Burgess, ESQ.,, called the meeting to order,
and nominated Mr.. d. Wood Perry as President,
and Mr.. j. w. Keene as Secretary. After these
gentlemen took their seats, Mr.. Braughn responded
to call and made the first speech. He spoke
handsomely and to the point alluding to the issue
that was soon to be decided, and dwelling upon
the superior merits of the Citizens ticket over the
American ticket, and urged the necessity of all
who desired change for the better to come to
the support of the Citizens ticket, and to put
their shoulders to the wheel with will.
Mr.. J. O. Nixon lof this paper) was next loudly
called for, and appeared on the stand. He stated
that he was not used to public speaking, but that
hs candidate before the people, he recognized
their right to call upon him. His discourse was
@ehiefy review of the opposing candidates. Mr..
Monroe, the candidate Of the so-called American
PICKET, he regarded as an honest and upright
gentleman, and good citizen in all tile relations Of
life; and he regretted to find him; in the company
yle was in. Of Mr.. Place, the candidate of the
Citizens ticket, he could say all he had said of Mr.
Monroe, and more too. 1t had been his good for
une to serve in the City Council with him. and he
sst sure that the administrative ability there shown
Gl, and his general character IS q citizen,

and that he believed no man in New Orleans was
better qualified to discharge the difficult duties of
that office.

Polite persons are necessarily obliging. smile
is always on their lips, an earnestness in their
countenance, when we ask favor of them. They
know that to render a service with bad grace is
in reality not to render it at all. If they are
obliged to refuse favor they do it with mildness
and delieaey; they express such feelings of re-
gret that they still inspire US with gratitude; in
short, their conduct appears so perfectly natural,
that it really seems that the opportunity which is
offered them of obliging us, is obligng them
