Rev. James Kay Applebee, of Chi
cago, gave two very interesting and
instructive lectures in Bracket S
Hail, on the evenings of Tuesday and
Wednesday last. The subject treated
on Tuesday evening. was Charles
Dickens as Sentimentalist and Humor-
list. The speaker showed very in
innate acquainta' with the eharac-
ter of the great ralist and his pro-
auctions. and happily illustrated
his impression various characters
by recitations lections from their
conversations .hile good in the
personatioh = 4, Mr.. Applebee es-
pecially excelled in his delinations of
the humorous characters: for example
'.Sairy Camp, Sam Weller 'and''The
Fat Boy the last of which was ire
sistibly comical. The lecture, though
of two hours length, was listened to
with the closest attention, and all who
were present went away with an in
creased estimation of the greatest OF
England's moralists. On Wednesday
evening the subject was ''Othello, or
1.-The Wreck of f aIth." The lecture
was introduced by a few general com
ments on the effect of Shakespeare $
characters upon the world, in which
the speaker claimed that they have
done as much in moulding the charac-
ter of the sentiments of after gener-
ations as if they were real historical
persons. The main body of the lect-
ure consisted of a critical review OF
the characters of Othello, Desdemona
and Iago. The usually accepted char
acter of honest fTankness and noble
ness. until craZed with jealousy, was
attributed to Othello, and Desdemona
was as usual, made innocent of thought
or even comprehension of the evil of
| which she was accused; but to Iago the
speaker gave the new and unusual fig
ure of a bluff, loud-voiced, kind hearted
soldier, in appearance while he was
the fiend incarnate in fact which most
actors make him in seeming. The
lesson drawn from the drama was the
need of more perfect faith in our
| friends, our men and the world in
general. AS ON the previous even
ing the speaker held the closest atten-
ton of his audience and instructed
while he entertained. Both lectures
were worthy of much larger audiences
than were in attendance, and the order
under whose auspices they We're given
| may well feel pleased witt so sue
cessful beginning of the course of
lectures announced for the season, and
have good reasons for expecting the
coming ones to be more fully attend
ed.

The following acrostics were sent to
Mr.. G. NJ. Lowell by an aged friend
whom he met while on a recent visit
to the East:
Give thanks to God, for mercies giv'n,
And trust in Christ to guide to heaven.
Resolve to seek for righteous gain,
Deal Just with all, spend not in VAIN
No good is gain'd by long delay;
Endure to watch, and also pray;
Refuse all vain, bad habits here;
May you them shun with conscience clear.
Labor for what You surely need,
Or wisdom seek with care and speed;
Wisdom and grace, is free for all,
Except they slight Gods gracious call.
Learn then to listen any obey,
Looking for one eternal day.
Your friend,
SAMUEL p BAILEY.
Born at South Weare, N. H., Feb. 81, 1880.
Liv'd in Washington, N. H., 70 yrs. last
March, 1878.
Be always mild, some like child.
GARDNER NJ. LOWELL.
When | shall cease to read and write,
hope some other one,
In doing good will take delight
And praise Gods only Son.
On Christ depend TOR peace and rest;
Learn then Of HIM till you are blest.
Incline to work for honest gain;
Virtue pursue, spend not in vain,
InveIgh against all that is wrong
And learn to sing some sacred song,
With faith and hope and charity.
Live to do good where e'er you be.
Our friends who have passed on before
Will join with us, on Canaan's shore;
Ever pleased, in heaven above;
Leaving behind many we love,
Longing to fly, like Noah's dove.
Your friend,
SAMUEL p. BAILEY.
