Political Lectures.

We have no political meetings in
this country except just before cleo
tlons and to carry specific measures,
when the object OF every speaker is
to win votes for his side, and when,
consequently, abstract and impartial
discussion Is not to be expected.
The consequence was inevitable. AS
the boys tune whistled itself, so the
Lyceum gradually, not roughly, but
by general consent, became an open
platform. Whatever their texts, the
most prominent and popular Of the
lay-preachers had some timely ap.
plication Of truth to tho public stu.
alton. They directly and power.
fully informed and influenced public
opinion. The heroism which had dis.
appeared from the Lyccum platform,
and the sublime beauty of great
ideal shone nightly INTO thousands OF
hearts all over the land.
Naturally, it was not altogether
without resistance or dispute that the

change was made. It came gradu-
ally and not roughly, because the
most intelligent minds are the treest,
and the bulk Of the Lyceum audi.
cnce was intelligent. When Mr..
Phillips went to speak in those days
at some quiet country town, the
President OF the Lyceum, uncon.
sciously sensitive to the change, said
to him, upon what part OF your
subject will you touch to-nightw
"What part OF my subject?" replied
Mr.. Phillips, in some surprise. "You
know l am to speak upon the Lost
Arts" "Tho Lost Arts! the Lost
Arts" exclaimed the President with
more contempt than he would have
expressed had he heard that delightful
lecture-'what are they?" And there.
upon he put the question to the
audience whether they would hear
about the lost arts or about "Mr.
Phillips subject" Tho contcnted
audience chose the subject. A year
or two before the war, also, when
the same orator had delivered the
lecture announced for the evening, In
a little village IN the interior Of New
York, the audience sat as If some
ng were yet to come. "The lec-
ture is ended" said the President.
But the audience remained. Then
some one came to the pulpit 1T was
a Reformed Dutch church, as it was
then called-and whispered to the
President. He rose and said, IF the
audience desire to hear Mr.. Phillips
upon the subject Of slavery, will
they please 10 remain seated?" Not
person stirred. And Mr.. Philips
proceeded for another hour, to the
great delight of his hearers.
1t happened very soon, OF course,
those who held the true function Of
the Lyceum to be the discussion Of
the melancholy of Hamlet, and the
topography of Symmes's Hole, were
somewhat alienated. "Why look

A Curious LEaEND.-When Adam
was far advanced in years and at the
point of death, he sent his son to the
angel Michael, who kept the gate of
Paradise, to pray for the oil of mercy.
so that he could be healed. The
angel answered that it conld not be
until fifty. five hundred years, but he
gave Seth a branch Of the tree OF
which Adam had eaten, bidding him
plant it on Mount Lebanon, and
that when it bore fruit his father
should be healed. Seth planted the
branch on his fathers grave: it took
root and grew, and from it were
made Aaron's rod and Moses staff
with which he struck the rock aud
sweetened the water OF Marah. II also
formed the pole ON which the brazen
serpent was lifted up, and the ark OF
the testimony. At last it came into
the hands of Solomon, who used it in
building his palace; but it contlnu-
ally resisted the efforts of the build
ers to adjust it. Now it was too
long, and then again too short. The
builders, being angry, then threw it
:nto marsh, SO that it might serve
as a bridge. The queen Of Shebe
would not walk upon it, but adored
it, and told Solomon that upon it
should be suspended the man through
whose death the kingdom should be
destroyed. Solomon tEen had il
buried deep in the ground, where
afterward the pool Of Bethesda was
dug. and from the virtues OF this tree
healing properties were impaired to
thei water. After it had been bu
ried three hundred years it rose to
the surface OF the water, and the
Jews took it and made of it the
cross of our Saviour.-[From The
