There is something touching in the. constancy
with which men attend free lectures, and in the
hottest patience with which they listen to them.
He who pays may yawn or shift testify in his
seat, Or even 20 out with an awful reverberation
of criticism, for he has bought the right to do
any or all of thess and paid for it. But gratu-
itous hearers are anethetized to suffering by a
sense of virtue. They are performing perhaps
the noblest as it is one of the most difficult, of
human functions in getting something (no mat
ter how small) 70: nothing. They are not pes
tered by the awful duty of securing their
moneys worth. They are wasting time, to do
which elegantly and without lassitude is the
highest achievement of civilization. If they
are cheated, it is at the worst, only of a super
fuous hour which was .rotting on their hands.
Not only is mere amusement made more
piquant, but instruction more palatable, by
this universally relshed sauce of gratuity.-
And if the philosophic observer finds an object
of agreeable contemplation in the audience, as

interest in the lecture, and admires the wise
economy of Nature, who thus contriyes an am
pie field of honest labor for her bores. Even
when the insidious hat is passed round after
one of these eleemosynary fsats, the relish is
but heightened oy conscientious refusal to
disturb the satisfaction's completeness with the
rattle of single contributory penny.

''Models of American eloquence are drawn
from speeches made<in Congress, and though
the Republic is yet young, she has produced
as splendid parliamentary speeches as can be
found in the archives of any Government. But
the grand days of oratory are gone forever. ut
is not improbable that theteeming future may
give birth to those whose resplendent genius
will .deseryedly rank them among the immor-
tails Of the past. But in these latter days there
has arisen a power mightier than an army Of
orators-a power that has destroyed their infh-
ence, .dwarfed their genius, and lowered them
tothe level Of. ordinary mOrtals; q power that
can Danish kings, destroy dynasties, revolution

or disastrous wars, for good or i'll change the
aspect of the civilized world. o 81. i

the sacred privacy Of homes, if it violate adj

can be bribed 10 suppress the truth or circulate
the false, if it shield the public wrong-doer OF

the base prejudiees and passions of the popu-

should work such mischief in society: =.
