kins, was crowded with the students and the
citizens Of the village and vicinity. Many
of the Faculty were present; and even Presi-
dent Hopkins appeared in tho body Of the
House. As for the lecture, my friend said he
had heard Mr.. Phillips before and since, but
never did he seem to speak with such power
as he did then. He announced as his subject:
The Duty Of the American Scholar in the
Present Crisis and the lecture throughout
was an arraignment. In manner, my Inform
ant said, it was simply electrical No, one
knows better than Mr.. Phillips the tricks and
points by which skillful orator moves men.
On this occasion he seemed to use and to de-
spise them. He magnetized his hearers. In
the peroration, when he sketched the modern
educator as too often tims-server, balancing
himself between two principles without fl
deity to either, and disloyal to the spirit of
true education for purposes of temporary
expediency it was done with such cutting
and scornful yet terribly earnest philippe
that the President arose and left the room.

committee after the assembly had dispersed,

l had named The Lost Arts, but it was
plain that your hour this time demanded

FirmneSs Of Senator Wilson.

Senator Henry Wilson was selfcontrolletl
as well as selfmade man. lie left his New
Hampshire early in life, and changed his
name in order to get out from under the
baleful shadow of ntemperance lie began
on the lowest round of the social ladder, and
climbed up, rung by rung, until he became
political power in the nation.
The first step he took in the ascent placed
him on the pledge never to drink intoxica-
ting liquors. The second step he took made
him an Industrious laborer, the third dill
gent reader.
He was sent to Washington to carry Pc
tition against the admission Of Texas TO the
Union. John Quincy Adams asked him to a
dinner party, where he met with some of the
great men of the nation. He was asked TO
drink wine. The temptation to lay aside his
temperance principle for moment, in order
not to seem singular, was strong one. But
he resisted it and declined the glass of wine
Mr.. Adams commended him for his adhe-
reLce to his convictions.
After Mr.. Wilson was elected to the Uni
ted States Senate, he gave his friends a din
ner at n noted Boston hotel. This table was
set with not wine-glass upon it.
"Whereare the wine-g -glasses?" asked several,
loud enough to remind their host that some
Of his guests did not like sitting down to a
wineless dinner.
"Gentemen," said Mr.. Wilson, rising and
speaking with great deal of feeling, "you
know my friendship for you and my oblga-
tions to you. Great as they are they are not
great enough to make me forget the rock
whence was hewn and the pit from whence
l was dug. Some Of yon know how the
curse of intemperance overshadowed my
youth. That might escape fed my early
surroundings and changed my name For
what am, am indebted. under God, to my
temperance VOW and my adherence to it,"
"Call for what you want to eat, and if this
hotel can provide it, it shall be forthcoming.
But wines and liquors cannot come to this
table with my consent, because will not
spread in the paths ofanother the snare from
which have escaped"
Three rousing cheers showed the brave
senator that men admired the man who had
the courage of his convictions.

Our Boys.

Many fathers do not know what to do with
their boys, and there are even more Ameri-
can boys who do not know what to do with
themselves and are not wholly contented with
their prospects in life There is tendency
here as in England to disparage educational
methods and to advocate system of trade
apprenticeship fer boys, even of the highest
social grade. 1t is often urged that the col
leges spoil four excellent farmers and mer-
chants for every lawyer or clergyman OF
genuine ability whom they prepare for a snc-
cessful professional life. Education cannot
transform mediocrity intogenius in America
any more than it can in England; and while
it has compensating advantages, it docs not
tend to make unsuccessful men contented
with their lot. But while the future of the
American boy is often matter of grave un-
certainty to himself and to his family, he viii
succeed here, if he will succeed anywhere.
If be does not succeed here, it will be because
he does not have the right stuff in him. Tho
fault will lie entirely with himself, an not, as
is the case in England, with the times and
the social and economic conditions Hail

Why is It2

Young men and ladies; if you want to
spend the Sabbath to advantage, attend
church and Sunday school, you can't be en-
gagged in better work than in good Sun
day school. 1t is your duty and you are
commanded to abandon everything that has
a tendency to hinder the cause of religion,
and to engage in every good work that will
promote the great cause of the Master.
1t is necessary that you should attend
Sunday school where you can read, sing and
learn of the saviour and what you are CON-
manded to do. Why is it that our young
men and ladies do not make themselves
more interested in attending Sunday SCHOOL,
Young men come from the corners ofstreets,
leave the card table and every place Of dis
order and attend some Sunday school.
Young ladies leave off your former habits
that will ruin your souls and go to Sunday
school where you can do good foryourselve.

and your race. Only think of the many
thousand of minds that are to be cultivated!
Shall We only labor to cultivate the young
minds of the sciences Of the wotltl,and do
nothing to cultivate their minds on the rich
salvation of our Saviour? When Nou see
that your work is needed and the good you
really could do; can you sit down, walk about
on the Sabbath day and be contented inyour
minds?
1t is hoped that many Of our young men
and ladies that are spending the Sabbath in
vain, will feel that it is their duty to join
some Sunday school and help to sAyance the
great cause Of the Master

That colored reporter of the Phladel.

his color is worth simply apassing notice.
Ten years past the idea of a colored re-
porter in Philadelphia would have been
fancy, pure and simple; ten years hence OBJ

day on the use Of the pronoun OF the first
person singular, we had not even a suspi.
clon that our remarks would be forthwith
endorsed by so high an authority as the nc.
complishcd cd tors Of the Religious Herald
But so 1t Is. In the issue OF that paper for
this week appears the following and good
deal more TO the same purport:
1--WE are thoroughly against the attempt
toexelude The pronoun ~ from the pulpit

10 talk about himself, aud the less he say.
Of himself the better. But II he has oeca.

tory, or opinions then let him TO IL in the
simplest aud most direct way. Let him say
IL Its sn excellent pronoun. and can soon
be said. There sreally no objection TO min
istef's speaking Of himself in the pulpit, pro-
vided he says the fitting thing at the right
time. and in an honest. manly way. Hewiil

Any phrase substituted for ~" viii al
once call the hearers attention TO the ego
tislp Of the speaker.
We add that the Religious Hsralrs arti.
Gle, though dated two days later than that
Of the Dispatch, appeared on the same day.
Neither paper had any knowledge Of the
purpose Of the other TO touch upon the
subject OF both articles.
