Professor Lowell says that most men are
not without an amiable willingness to assist

door. If special tickets are sent us, another
element of pleasure is added in sense of
privilege and preeminence (pitiably scarce in
democracy) SO deeply rooted in human na-
''ie Ina. nave seen people take strange
satisfaction In being near of kin to the mute

moments advantage over the res. of us
whose grief was rated at lower placa u, tbo
procession. But the words 'sadmiss;o,, t.oo.,
at the bottom of a handbilI, though boid;n,
out no bait OF inequality, have yet a sinonla1
charm for many minds, especially in fha
country. There is something touching in
the constancy with which men attend free
lectures, and in the honest patience with
which they listen to them. He who navs
may yawn or shift testify in his seat, or even
go out with an awful 1everberation of crti-
cism, for he has bought the right to do apy or
all of these and paid for it, But gratuitous
hearers are anethized to suffering by sense
OF virtue. They are performing perhaps the
nOblest as it is one of the most difficult, of
human functions in getting something (no
matter how small) for nothing. They are
not pestered by the awful duty of securing
their moneys worth. They are wasting
time, to do which elegantly and without las
stude is the highest achievement of civiliza-
ton. If they are cheated it is, at worst, only
of a superfuous hour which was rotting on
their hands. Not only is mere amusement
made more piquant, but instruction more
palatable, by this universally relished sauce
OF gratuity. And if the philosophic observer
finds an object of agreeable contemplation in
the audience, as they listen to discourse on
the probability of making missionaries 90
