Faithful Memories.

In his recent lecture on memory" Ralph
Waldo Emerson gives many most interesting
facts. Among other things he said:
Nearly all of the worlds most remarka-
BILE orators, poets, statesmen, wits, soldiers,
philosophers, scientists ETC., were men of
tenacious memory. Quintilian had said that
memory was genius. While this was true in
the main, it did not always follow that men
of genius possessed it. Isaac Newton was a
remarkable exception. He could not re-
member oftentimes his own great works
without trouble, and Newtons genius was
undoubted. Themistocles, on the other hand,
remembered everything. 81 would rather
teach you how to forget everything" was the
reply. But this was wit and not reason,
said the lecturer. 1t has been said that the
affections or feelings were the greatest in
centives to memory. The sense of passion
lead men to remember.
Napoleon cared nothing for Alexandrian
verse, but not one line of his army returns
was ever absent from his mind. Scipio knew
nearly every man by face and name in his
army Seneca could repeat 1000 words of
poem only once heard; Mithridates, who COM
manded an army made up of all the nations
of the globe, conversed in all their represent
atives languages. The Prince of Orange on
one occasion saw Grotius standing by out of
curiosity during the roll call of one of his
regiments. Having heard much of Grotius'
memory, he asked him if he could remember
| the names which he had read. Grotius as
tonished the prince by giving all the names
| in inverse-order.
| A great scholar had once been deprived by
an enemy of a much loved book. His enemy
| thought he had conquered him, but the
scholar rewrote the book from memory and
defed the enemy. As further illustration
of the memory being strong when the feel
ings are enlisted, the lecturer said man
never forgets a debt due to himself nor, as
DR.. johnson says, who kicked him last. John
Brown, of Osawatomie and Harper's Ferry
fame, was fond of sheep farming, and had at
one time 5000 sheep, each one of which he
could single out from any other flock into
| which it might have strayed In his own
town of Concord, his neighbor, Abe Norton
who dealt in horses, and was very fond Of
them, could remember at glance any one Of
the hundreds he had ever seen. Horses which
had been sent years ago to various parts Of
Massachusetts by Mr.. Norton, sometime:
came back to Concord, and were at once rec
ognized by him as they were driven along
! the streets.

The Proposal.

In the good old days Of our ancestors it
vas considered highly dishonorable for a
woman 10 report an offer Of marriage which
she had seen lit to decline; but among many
this seems to have become an old-fashoned
idea, too obsolete for moments attention.
Nowadays. if the young woman of the period
is the recipiant Of an offer. she cam mot endure
that it should remain dead secret, that the
sun should 20 down upon il untold; and even
IL she should disdain to publish it herself, her
female relatives do not allow the grass to
grow under their feet before the fact Is per-
mitted to leak out. If not directly. yet by in
situation and implication. She probably
reasons that there is no advantage to be gained
from proposal that she does not care 70 ac-
