DR.. Hollands Lecture.
The lecture Of Dr.. Holland on Saturday t
evening at Bryan Hall, before tho Young Mems /
Association, being the first regular address Of |
the season, was fine effort, and was listened |
to by q large and appreciatiye audience. The |
subject, 'tWorking and Shirking,' IT was handled !
By the speaker with his accustomed vigor Of
thought and elegance Of diction.
He Euid the disposition to Ehrk WIS consti- !
tutional with the hnuian race. The first re-
corded act Of the primal pair was one Of shirk- |
ing. Adam tried to throw the blame upon his
wife, and lis wife upon the serpent: An ut,
tempt to shirk moral responsibility, from that
day to this, has been marked trait Of their
descendants. There is q habit in this country
| Of shiyking from hard labor. Very few men 90
straight through life without stepping aside
| for slight obstacles.
| Essential things arc made free By nature.
| Beyond this We must pay q price. = necklace

cause it costs so much labor, and lof inc same

is full of patriotism. He gives our soldiers
clothes Of shoddy, robs them Of their ratlons,
and is one Of the most consummate rascals OF
the world.
Tic nation has shirked great responsibiIi-
| to get rich. In each pursuit i'll commercial
and professional life there is lack Of prcpara~
ton. Lawyers are made in day; doctors
! there are as innocent Of science as they were
when they were born. Long periods Of train

, trades, arc almost nsnown. The saying,
"Thc world owes me a living" is fs1laciouE,
$ Men say It who dress at the expense OF thcl1
t tailors. The fact is, the world owes them
:. nothing but pretty rough sort Of coffin, ane
