the matter OF names occurred or last Wednes-

The lecture delivered by Governor A. @. Por
ter, ON Friday afternoon, at Plymouth Church,
and noticed at length in yesterdays Journal,
closed the first years course of Historical Lect-
ures for Young People" in this city. Each
speaker in this course must be happy in the
privilege of having been greeted by a thousand
Or more happy young faces while he spoke, and
having been enshrined In loving remembrance in
as many happy young hearts. 1t is great work
to engraft the interest of the youth into their
own historical past, and to help them see and
feel their obligations to the preceding genera
tions. remembering, in the words of Lowell:
1--WE sit here in the promised land
That flows with freedoms honey and milk,
L But twas they it, sword in hand
Making the nette danger soft for silk"
The influence of this course has been widely
felt throughout the State by means of the daily
press. Some of the speakers have repeated their
lectures in The various towns. and others of them
have been invited to do so. In some towns a
course by home talent has been talked of. 1t is
hoped that next years course will equal in worth
what it already promises IN interest. The be-
ginning has been good; may the continuance be
likewise.
