DR.. HoGE's ADDRESS AT TIE PEACE IksTI'
rUrE.-It is not, perhaps, too late to express
our high appreciation of the rare intellectua
treat enjoyed in the charming address oi
Rev. Or. Hoge at Peace Institute on Wed
nesday morning last.
His theme was happily announced after
playful introduction, as the Alphabet, the
Great Magician, or the Entertainments oil
Literature. With wise reference to the heat,
he discarded ponderous discussion on ab.
stract subjects, and with delightful versatility
and wonderful case he engaged and entranced
his audience. His oratory was as refreshing
as the play of zaphyrs beneath the cool trees
and beside ripping brooks-a summer idyl.
Beginning with an alluSiOn to the occa-
sion, and the announcement of distinctions
just made, some of which were for the old
fashioned accomplishments of reading and
spelling, be naturally led to the SUSPECT OF
books, the pleasures they affordi and powers
they possess. With delicate playfulness
and fresh, sparkling humor he spoke OF
the pleasure afforded to the Writer,-
often uDshared the pleasure to Others
Of the same gentle craft,--and then OF
the pleasure 10 the reader. And while he
told of the brush Of the painter and the
song of the musician being but a part Of the
prerogatiye Of the poet, We who heard fell
as if the magical wand of the enchanter was
in the hand of the orator. With charming
ease and naturalness he led along the delight.
ful paths of the literature Of childhood and
youth, and Of maturer years, culipg with
dainty hand and exquisite taste most quaint
and choice flowers from wide field Of lit
erary research, and enriching discourse IT
self q gem of beauty with sparkling jewels.
The tribute to the Book Of Books wa;
worthy of the reverend orator. The power
that Wreathed the audience with smiles IN.
yoked with equal ease tears and earnest SO.
lemnity. The closing illusions to Professor
Steyens-to the Further Shore " to which
the inspired word alone led, to the parting
aouc aud the meeting then, were eloquent,
simple, and deeply impressive.
DR.. Hoge is an orator in every sense OF the
word; OF commanding appearance, and
courtly dignity Of manners, there is also an
exceeding simplicity and paturalness. bis
command of language was perfect, and the
felicity with which allusons to passing
events, and the transitions from playful to
serious passages was made, was wonderful.
And when at times, rising with the dignity
OF the theme, his voice would deepen AND
swell, and his attitude be one Of more thar
his accustomed stateliness, it seemed-the
very acme of ofeloquence, the majestic triumph
of oratory. #.a &.'" -
The audience comprised the most euiti
waited and literary society of the city. 1t !;
not too much to say that they were more
than delighted-they were charmed anG
fascinated. The spontaneous and uneS
pected call upon Dr.. Hoge at night, 10 Whlet
he SO gracefully responded, was proof o
it. Raleigh will always be glad TO welcome
DR.. Hoge. ..r.s...sr ..a u,.
