Jacobtna ever preached" A mans q man
for g. that That sunk into the
hearts Of bis fellow peasantas and
it burns there yet, and shall
burn forever more. BE doubted II there
was an adult speaker Of the English
language who does not chant, a. some
time or other, q fragment Of Burns. No
poems lie closer to the heart Of humanity
than his. No one has uttered amer sentl-
ments b the broad brOWed, black eyed
plOughman Of the Grampian Hills. Re
then spoke Of the hOuors paid to b
memory Of Burns since his death. Hs
cOntrasted Shakespeare 10 his worldly
wise way Of living with the Wild and ven
reckless life Of Burns. or course the
world may never look upon his ike again,
but then the world viii never need
smother ike him. One such wiz suffice.
be said the learned have not been the
greatest bsuefaCtOrs Of mankind. Agreat
number Of them spent their time in maEti-
eating the shells and husks Ct ku0Wlsdge,
and stuhng their intellectual stOmachs
with that sort Of ViCtualz instead Of cram
ing in something practical. They ara ut
terly unit to take care Of themselves.
He then spoke Of things IN general.
he laid IL down as q cardinal prin-
cIpal that there never was q braWling
demagOgue who would not rather be 3
born duke if he could. Descantsd con-
siderably upon the cOmmOu reason We
have for hOnOring "blOOd," ard what is
considered nobility. Nobility implies
some excellence. IF fifty thousand young
men 60 and arm themselves with spades,
picks, mattOcks, hoes. axes etc, and clear
out, grub, drain q till two or three Oun
ties, not for their own selfish ends, but for
the public good, then and in that case,
Horace COntended, the world would honor
them. The American world, he forgot to
odd -anHA NaaN- - H. . - -
id fools. He held that without a sys-
tenn Of common schools civil liberty could
not long be preserved. He then discussed
the education question st some length.
He said that the idea Of a Chinese republic
was like a church for monkeys or gorilla
university. Said he, with much vim: I
utterly abhOr and reject Arabian hos
piEslity % POlyuesian felicity and
Eastern civilization. The true Eden
lies before and not behind us.
With TennysOu. I would prefer
" Fifty years Of Europe TO a cycle Of
Cathay." He b CAV the distinction
between ancient and modern education,
the former more physical, the latter more
mental; some old thing that college pro-
fsssOrs have been speaking about, for
heaven knows how long, He pictured the
happy future, when All the boys should
enjoy all the charms and advantages Of
both; when a six hours sitting on a high
backed bench would not interfere in any
way with the vigOr of his spinal column,
the toughness of his lArynL, nor the
hsrcenss8 Of his digestive powers; when
every parish would have its own univer-
sity and there would be no conflict be-
tween labOrs and learning; when every me-
chanic would also be a curious cCmbina-
biDatiOn Of solomon, Beethoven, MeZZO-
fsnti and Darwin; when Sciences, Rsli-
giOn, Social Progress and several other
spirits Of bsn6hcence would march over
the earth together scattering smiles"
The star and learned speaker concluded
his discourse, which was read out Of an
enormous volume, amid a graceful and
moderate cheer Horace moved back Ike 1
q megsthsrium, but presently went for
ward again for his pig brown hat and a
glass Of water.
On the stage were noticed by our light
ming reporter, Messrs. WhiLmCrs and
Brennan, Of the Ledger, Mayor Johnson, /
Colonel Tyler and Mr.. ksatiug, Of the
APPEAL, Recorder Scales, Colonel KelIar,
Mr.. Thompson and Philip, Of the Ava
Lauchs, and some others.
Horace walked to his hotel, surrounded
by q dozsn or so of gentlemen, principally
belonging to the press of the city.
