PULPIT AND PLATFORM.

MRS HELEN l.. PALMER'S LECTURE.
Mrs. Helen L. Palmer of this city delivered
lecture at the Library Room, Mechanics
Building, last evening, subject-'The lecture
platform and the press considered in their
relation to public opinion" Mrs. Palmer
spoke without notes, 10 clear, vigorous man
ner, and held the undivided attention of the
large audience present. She was frequently
interrupted by applause. The lecture was able
and evinced thorough comprehension of the
subject. The following is an abstract:
There is no better guarantee for the peacs
and progress of our peace and liberty than the
growth of the press aud the platform. Tue
great characteristic of this government is the
omnipotence of public opinion. There is
nothing in the history of the world which has
conferred so much benefit upon mankind az
the press and public opinion. Tho sooner
subsidized press dies the better. The lecture
platform has been the hsndmaid of science.
it hassbeen the mirror upon which art has
reflected its beauties.
1t is true that the platform and press have
been abused, but this should bo no argument
to destroy them. In every department of
public thought the rostrum edueates the
people.
The press owes duty TO society. Toe press
needs to be enuobled and puff d, It is the
politics of the country; then can she have
that influence for good which she should exert
upon the youpg.
The editor who misrepresents the character
Of political opponent should be frowned upon.
The pulpit aud the platform should be PARTED.
During the last twenty five years the pulpit
and platform have made rapid progress. The
result is that there is areater diffusion of in-
tslligence, because the ear of the public has
been reached. In all classes of society, in
every religious sect, in every political party,
We find noble workers for the great cause of
humanity.
There is in the publ, press a principle which
deserves commentator. 1t is ever ready to
assert the claims of the poverty stricken. The
press at large is ready az any moment to adj
vocate the cause uf down troddeu aud oppres-
SD humanity The press is in itself div inc in
its influence. The mission of the press IS not
yet fulfilled Politics should b. purified the
question of capital ard labor should be disc
cussed-withOut fear or favor, wi bout bias
or prejudice, the press and the platform should
discuss every question. Let both the press and
platform act hand in hand 10 their effort to
elevate and ennoble mankind by an impartial
and broad discussion of every question which
concerns the public veal.
Rev. Mr.. Pitolado delivered an excellent
lecture on "Watches" last night to large

There is a limit at which fOrbearAnce ceases to

The discovery of what Is true, and the practice
Of what is good, are two important objects of life.

are moving,-Lo. w. Holmes.
Thought means life since those who do not
think DO not live in any high or real sense.
Thinking makes the man. Alcott,
A single effort by which to stop short in the
downward path to perdidon is itself greater eK.

JUST THE TRUTH.


General Ewing, the Democratic candidate for
Governor OF Ohio declared the great issue Of our
times In plain and impressive language in his
speech at Washington on Thursday last. THE
people Of Ohio said he "hsve too much pstriot.
ism and enlightened self.interest to consent that
sectional strife shall be proraced ten years after
all the settlements Of the war have been accepted
and Rcquiesced in eVerywhere throughout Tho
country, They demand that this settlement hay
ing been accepted, prosperity and concord shall
return hand In hand and :abOve al Ohio, the
arst born Of the struggles of our Revolutionary
sires tUilneer submit 10 surrender 10 any party tAS
liberties that tVere meant for mankind"
This declaration Of General Ewing forms Of lts-
self a platform on which all patriotic and far
seeing American citizens should rally together in
common effort for the preservation Oi free inst-
tu'iOns
Ia such a contest as that now eagaged between
the right of the people to elect their own
rulers and the pretension OF the Republican party
to keep theselves in power by military force and
by fraud, no American worthy of the name should
hesitate for moment on which side to range him.

DON'T WASTE VITAL ENERGY.


The most vigorous persons do not have toe
much vitality. People generally inherit lack
or at least lud that much vital energy has been
permanently lest in their childhood and youth
through the ignorance or careessness Of their
parents. Often 1t is impaired by wrong iBdulg-
ences in early manhood. The endeavor with all
persons should be to husband what is left, be 1t
much or little. Therefore
l. Don't do anything in hurry.
@ Don't work too many hours day, whether
It be farm. work, shop.work, study-Work, or house
work.
8. Don't abridge Sleep Get the full eight hours
Of 1t, and that, too, in a well ventilated and sun
purified room.
A. Don't eat what iS indigestible, nor too much
of anything, and let good cheer rule the hour.
s. Don't fret at yourself, nor anybody else; nor
indulge in the blues nor burst into fits fpassion.
6. Don't be too much elated with good luck,
nor disheartened by bad.
POsitively-be self controlled, calm and brave
Let your brain have all the rest 1t needs. Treat
your stomach right Keep a good conscience,
and have cheerful trust in God for all things
and for both worlds.

PARR, THE EMURDERER DIEsFRoM
POISON.

Philadelphia, June 1O-Edward Parr,
murderer of his daughter, who sank
down in the prisoners dock yesterday
from the effects of poison just after the
death sentence had been pronounced up
on him, died this morning at ten minu.
tes before o'clock in the ante.room Of
the court house. Eminent physicians
from different colleges with him all night
failed to restore him to consciousness.
All of PARIS relatives are now in custody
and rigid investigation will be had with
view to discovering the manner in
which and by whom the poison was con-
veyed to the prisoner.
