ALL MAY BECOME RICH.-It often
amuses me to See how a hap-hazard,
neck-or-nothing voyage, which by some
rare good fortune enriches common
place individual, increases his reputa-
tion for talents. All the small fry look
up to him; he begins to talk with en-
phasis, but no discretion, about matters
ne don't understand; and his great tai
ents are at last rewarded by being incor-
porated into banking institution! 1t
would seem that the acquisition of rich
es is considered as unequivocal proof of
great cleverness, which is the mercan-
tile phrase of wisdom. But in my opin-
ion any man may grow rich if he pleases.
1t is only to become the slave of gain !;
to think, and work and dream of money
and to repulse and starve every liberal
impulse of the mind. Thirty or forty
years sticking close to this will inevita-
bly, make man rich enough to consult
his tastes or his passions, just at an age
when he has no tastes and for the most
part but one passion. This is what is
called gaining the whole world and los
ing our soul-an exchange very COM
mon in this world.-Paulding.

THREE NOTED MEN.

In late lecture delivered on Lin
coin, at Springfield, Illinois, W. H.
Herndon portrayed the characteristics
of the oratory of three distinguished
men of that State
The strength and power of Lincoln S
eloquence lay
First-In his strong logical faculty,
his power of reasoning, and his love of
principle, not SO much in their abstract
ness as in their concrete practical ap-
plication to men and things.
Secondly-In his clear vision and
excellent understanding full COM
prehension of the exact state and con-
dition of things.
Thirdly-In his cool and masterly
statement of the issue around which the
debate swung-of the principles involy:
ed and
Finally, in the clearness, strength
and solidity of his premises. He stood
up square and bold to his convictions,
aud fashioned and formed by them bis
thoughts and utterances. His mind
was not great, wide, deep, generaliz-
ing and comprehensive one; it was not
quick, discursive, versatile, flying here
and there generally to meet all emer-
gencies and contingencies; it ran in
paths, ruts and deep iron grooves. He
thought long and well on his subject,
stripped it of all useless adjuncts, con-
densing and defining all things as he
proceeded. He had no spontaneity in
his nature, no enthusiasm, no energy,
no fancy. He was candid and direct,
having an abiding confidence in the fin
al triumph of truth and right. What
ever of life, force and power of elo-
quence these qualities, or awise COM
bination Of them, could give-whatever
there is in a fair, honest and impartial
administration of equity and Justice to
all men at all times and places-what-
ever there is in strong will in the right
with tenderness and mercy-whatever
there is in sublime patience and a
never ending toll, with the strongest
moral courage-whatever there is in an
individual faculty or combination of
them, all working eonjointly-not los
ing sight of his imperfections, all enti-
tie Lincoln to the fame of good and
wise Executive of the peoples Govern
ment. They limit and define him as
an orator, politician and statesman.
He (the lecturer) desired to get an
exact idea before their minds, and to do
this he would put in comparison and

duced in the minds of those who heard
him a thorough conviction, giving full
and perfect satisfaction to the soul; not
exciting energy or action, but philo-
sophie satisfactson, an abiding convic-
tion, in which the hearer rested firmly.
1t was only when -Lincoln's head and
conscience breathed through the tender
lounge Of heart on the mass of mankind
that he was really sublime, grandly elo-
quent. The precise and exact differ
ence in these three varieties of eloquence
is just here Bakers eloquenco was the
beautiful, the nameless mans was the
logical, and Lincoln's the potent. The
three men marked the ideal man orator
the world over.

DREAMrIME.

Alone watch the dying day, -s~s-
see its tint of orange paling;
And just beyond the ruffled bay,
Gray mists the purple hills are yelling;
Upon the roof weird fingers play,
And all the winds are full of wailing.
. Life's open book before me lies,
And as I turn its leaves back family
The pictures of the Past arise,
Strange forms &c cby-appareled quaintlyI
Sweet voices whisper, and dear eyes
Shine as of old-divine and sanity.
Once more hear the gentle rhyme
Where falling leaves still waters dimple,
The woods low murmur, and the chime
Of silvery streamlets as they whimple,
And live again the golden time
OF childhood's joys-so pure and simple.
What pretty pebbles paved the creek,
The dear old creek by mulberries shaded
There the shy frogs played hide-and-seek
Through lilies-with spices laded:
And our wee shadows seemed to speak
From whispering wavelets, as we waded.
What leagues of nectar wooed the bees
To buckwheat hills or dales of clover!
What twittering birds on blooming trees
Cooed tenderly and played the lover
While Time, with odorous breath of ease,
Told the delicious idyl over!
We reckoned then each year gain;
Now, they are counted with our losses;
Sharp thorns and thistles give US pain,
Where then we trod Spring velvet MOSES;
Then, of our aowery garlands vain,
And now, aweary of our crosses.
I gathered wild flowers yesterday.
But somehow flowers have lost their
sweetness;
Some quail were startled-even they
Seem to have, lost their old discreetness,
And only hoped beside the way,
AS if they had no Feed for heetness.
But when see the children meet,
Flower-laden from their plays returning;
Care trampled by their needless feet,
Their trustful souls all shadows spurning /;
Their hearts wild with impatient beat,
And hopes bright fires within them burn
ing.
know life blooms the same, but
Shall breathe its old time fragrance-never!
The dreary Now, the dear Comedy,
The bridgeless floods of SORROW sever.
All, me how wistfully sigh
For dreamtime lost, and lost forever!
