Titon has been here aud given bis lee
ture the problem of life" The great
Academy of Music was full, seats reserved
even to the third tier. What is that great
problem. Hear him, and your life will be
the better for it. Years ago when | listened
to him; when | as hundreds likewise, look
ed upon him as the bright and shining star
for future glory as an American citizen, |
raised to the most exalted position in the |
gift of the people. Young though he was, |
vet so far leading older and more exalted |
heads, | can with them now say Wicked, |
yes miseraby wicked, is the one who las
cast the least blot upon that fair reputa
ton that manly form, he who can so beau
tifully portray TO his fellow man the duly
of man to his fellow man. he who with
mastery intellect, can mould and fashion
the minds of a nation that they are the
better for his being in it. While passing
himself through the fiery trials of domes-
tic trouble, can he teacher and leave no
| doubt upon the mind of his hearers as to
his manly course. Sorry am |, sorry
| should every parent be that his children
! did not hear that lecture. While the mind
/ is shaping It's standard Of life. While it
may so easily be raised TOT higher STAN
! dard of morality, virtue, yes and business.
| Oh the youth, the young girls as well as
our boys should hear The Problem of
| Life portrayed as none other but TheO-
/ dOre Tilton can do it, and in concluding
! that subject, let me ask your readers as
from him his question. What would be
! the result after another hundred years
shall have rolled away, and another CEN
tenEial year shall dawn upon our now
great and glorious nation II the women
shall assert their claim, that man shall
be brought 20 the same exacIiDg line OF
conversation, visitation, morality. virtue
and politeness as she. No word spoken
I that would cause her to blush. No place
visited at which she could not also go, the
same dark blot put upon his brow as upon
hers for the sire of an unguarded impas-
stoned moment, uniOrgiVaD, unbidden.-
Ever an 0utcast. Ponder, mediate, and
where opportunity offers, take Your young
people. your children that their lives may
be made uobier, their happiness greater,
their aspirations higher for having heard
Tilton, and his problem OF life.
