National Birthdays.

time comes when the best people are con-
tent rather than desirous to be older. The
years cease to give, and begin to take away.
One birthday is remembered sorrowfully, for
it has become a memento of a loss. Other
birthdays multiply. They ramify into new
birthdays. time at last arrives when the
birthday once celebrated with offerings, and
plum cake, and pretty speeches, and little
performances, and holiday from lessons,
passes unnoticed, at least unobserved. 1t is
a pity when it is so, yet sometimes it cannot
be otherwise. Now, all this is just our less
happy state in comparison with the younger
family of the United States. We have no
national birthdays, anniversaries, or centen-
aries of any kind. Speaking generally, no
child Of any kind, class, high or low, from the
child of the Duke to the child Of the laborer,
could name the day on which any great event
in our history occurred, even though duly
crammed with the year. Such ignorance is
not thing TO be proud of, especially as it
goes much further, and very large part Of
the history OF our country is blank to most
English minds. We can only carry so many
centuries in our minds, and we have not room
for the later ones. The United States begin
their reckoning where have left it of, and
with them the eighteenth century still lives
and breathes. Nor is this the only account
to be given Of the advantages the Americans
have over US. Parties have always ragged
furiously in this class-divided country. Po-
litically, we have been a divided family, the
Americans united one. With some minor
exceptions they have all been bound together
by common principles Of equality and free
dom, and by the same glorious vision Of q
worldwide commonwealth. Every century,
every year, brings them nearer that c0nsum-
nation. In our own country not contrO-
versy could be named that would not rouse .
controversy. As there were two opinions at
the time, so would there be now. London

Lecturers Losing Ground.

As the autumn approaches the amusement
season will, as usual, be supplemented by the
lecture entertainments. and vast amount Of
audiences, who, howevsr, rather seem to like
it than otherwise. The number Of men, apart
from scientific lecturers. before universities
and colleges, who have anything to say worth
listening to, is very small indeed, while the
takers are numberless. Such men as Beecher
and Tilton. men who are powerful thinkers,
can talk once or twice year, or even oftener
on any subject to which they choose to devote
their intellects. Travelling through the coun-
try they repeat the same story over and over
again, no doubt, ad nauseam as far as they
themselves are concerned, were it not for the
piquant favor of the hundreds Of dollars
which season each lecture for these celebri-
ties. One Of the first necessities of really
good lecturer is to select a subject which he
can handle; then to thoroughly inform him.
self on it, and finally to be so full of it, and
to have his train of thought so impressed on
his mind. that he can deliver his lecture with
out any manuscript but the very smallest of
memoranda. To read lecture is largely to
destrop its usefulness and to prevent anything
like close attention on the part of an audience
For, if the lecturer himself be not sufficient
ly informed on his subject as to have it thor
oughly under command. confidence in his at
tainments is destroyed. The ssnotes" he
carries should be consulted rather to know
what to omit rather than what to say; for
every subject of any importance, to be ex-
haustively created, would require much more

time than can be allotted to any lecturer be-
fore a mixed audience.
Aptness in illustration, fiuency without re-
dundance Of speech, clear and logical arrange
ment of thoughts so a. to insensibly take his
audience with him, tuneful voice and earn
estness of manner, are the requisites of a
frst-class lecturer. How many of the lights
of the lyceun are their possessors it is not
difficult 10 count.
The old-time orations, like those of Edward
Everett, have had their day. never again to
be revived. The labored swelling and John
sonian periods. the fowery and ornate rhet-
oric of the first half of our century, have
gone out with the stagc-coaches. Scarcely
anybody now. except out of curiosity. would
go to hear Edward Evereus Grafton, say in
Washington, were he alive to deliver l., any
more than to reading Of Demosthenes on
the Crown or Cicero against Catiline. And
so the lecturer of to-day is doomed to disap-
pear from our horizon He may linger with us
vet awhile but the fate of the lyceum instructor
is sealed. The cheap publications, scientific.
classical and literary, will surely crowd him
out. as indeed, there is reason he should be.
"A iittie learning is a dangerous thing. and
his services at best are but limited, since he
can. in the short space ofa lecture, give only
scraps of information, which may incite few
to further study, but will leave the majority
rather injured than benefited, by dogmati-
cally expressed truths, which in a week hence
may no longer be truths. 1t is therefore
that eloqucnce is being rclegatcd to the pull
pit and the forum. As the drama has given
way to the novel for pictures of life and char
acter, so the lecturer will give place to the
book and knowledge will be absorbed through
the eye rather than the cara great gain.
