Why the Late John u. Cough Refused to
Deliver Free Lectures.
In sketch of John Il. Cough. who
died rs he had lived upon the platform,
and who was the last one of the most
popular of public speakers, and, after
Father Mathew. the most famous
apostle of temperance. it was stated
that although very generous man. he
declined to lecture for the benefit of en-
terprises and societies of all kinds,
which constantly applied to him. 1t is
20 be hoped that nobody regrets his re-
fusal or thinks him to have been less
generous because of the refusal There
is no more common or objectionable
asks this kind of aims. Mr.. Cough re-
ceived n very large income from his
public lectures. and of this money he
was not avaricious. On the contrary,
he gave literally and often. doubtless.
10 the very objects for the benefit of
which he was vainly asked TO lecture A
man practices his profession or pursues
his business for his livelihood and the
support of his family, and he determines
for himself the amount and the direc-
ton of his gifts and charities.
That is what the charitable society
forgets which asks singer TO sing. or
an actor 10 act. or a painter TO paint
picture. or lecturer TO give lecture.
for its benefit, upon the score of chart.
ty. One of the Woodworking guild of
lecturers some Years ago replied to 3
solicitation of this kind by asking the
chairman of the committee what bnsi-
ness he pursued. Il am dealer in
jewelry," WAS the reply. We'll. Mr.
Chairman said the lecturer. Il am
very much interested in little society
like yours in my own town; now let US
BE- fair: will give you the profits of
my business for one evening for Your
society, if YOU viii give me those of your
business for enc day for the benefit of
my society"
The good chairman stared and smiled.
The lecturer continued. Have YOU
applied to our friend. Mr.. Sheepskin.
the Attorney No; what for?" asked
the chairman. ''Why. TO aid Your So
cieiy by contributing DAVIS fees. The
chairman smiled and looked puzzled.
''What | mean. said the lecturer. '.is
simply that there is no more reason why
You should ask me to give you the en-
tire profit OF my business for
certain time than TO ask auy body else
TO do the same thing. The fact that 1
am lecturer is not reason that
YOU should make the application TO
me rather than to lawyer. or a mer-
chant. or an artist DO you ask Mr..
Booth 10 bestow his receipts for next
Saturday upon your society because
your society is poor and wants money
TO buy carpets and cushions? DO YOU
ask the proprietor of the Herald or
Times to drop into your treasury all
the money that they may receive for
advertisements and sales on the first
day of June? Do you ask Mr.. Choate
to hand you over his professional in
come, as nearly as he can compute it,
for Monday. the ed? To ask me for
money is one thing; but TO ask for
blank check with my signature is
quite another" The lecturer smiled
rs benignantly As the chairman. but
did not look in the least degree puzzled.
s-Ohr' said the chairman. Precisely"
returned the lecturer.

his life. A member Of lyceum COM
mittee, in his private capacity of mer-
chant, negotiates with another merchant
for piece of cloth, or a case of shoes,
or cargo Of flour. But he finds that he
has miscalculated the market, or there
is some mishap, and he loses by the bar
gain. Does he thercupon repair to the
other merchant, and say to him that he
hasn't made as much as he expected by
the venture; that, in fact, he has lost
money, and in view of that sad mis-
chance the merchant will perhaps agree
to take half of the price agreed upon?
No; the worthy member of the lecture
committee has never been guilty of such
an act as that. If he can not take the
chances of trade, he is not fit to be q
trader
o wise young judge! And what was
1t that you were saying just now, not to
the -four merchant, or the cloth mer-
chant, or the shoe dealer, but to the lee
ture merchant? Were you or were you
not saying to him that you were very
sorry that the audience had been so
small and the expenses so large, and the
treasury was so low that perhaps
haps-in view of everything-so hard to
sustain a course of really good lectures
-that-that, in fine, the merchant
would perhaps take off half the price
stipulated, because you, o wise young
judge, have not made as much money
ont of him as Won hoped to make?
To decline to do this, Mr.. Cough, like !
other eminent masters of the platform, |
did not hold to be mercenary view of |
his calling. If II was not mercenary |
for the baker to ask sixpence for his
loaf or the milkman fair price for his
milk, neither was it mercenary for the
lecturer to ask an equally fair price for
his commodity and his labor and his
time. 1t is. indeed, open TO any man
to give bread and milk TO his neighbors
without price. But he can not support
his family by that course. All the
in town. if they choose,
may give away all their goods
But they can not be reproached
with venality if they prefer to sell in
stead of to give. Mr.. Cough. so far as
he turned his powers and gifts to max
ing money, was a merchant, and was
only to the laws and usages of
honorable business, and those who asked
him to renounce half his fee, or who re-
luested the gift of all the profits of a
future transaction, were PROFESSIONALLY
but they were unmindful
Of the laws and usages of honorable bust
ness.
Mr.. Edwin p. Whipple. one of the
most accomplished and popular pioneers

AN EMINENT PREACHER INSANE.
The Rev. Augustus StOpford Brooke
in an Asylum-Sketch Of
His Life,

DUBLIN, October 16.-The EueninO
Mail says tina. the Rev. Angus US Stop
ford Brooke, the eminent Unitarian
preacher, has become crazy, and hes
been confined in an asylum for the

The Rev. Augustus stopford Brooke
belongs to an Irish iami y. He was
educated at Trinity College, Dublin,
and became curate of st. Matthew's,
Ma,ylebone, soon after his graduation

years later took charge Of b dford

man may teach almost anything he
plesses. Mr.. Brooke always eff lated
with the extreme liberal s3hcol in the
Euglish Church, assoCiating with Dean
Stanley, DR.. EdTi A. Abbott, the
Rev. j. NJ. Capes, the Rev. Brooke
Lamber', and men of liks views, and
in 1880 startled the orthodox commu-
nifty by IeaounCiug his allegiance to
the Church OF England. His s9para-
tion from the church, he said, turned
upon the question: OF IN %rscleR, yet, not
withstauding his denial OF all belief
in the miraculous he still retained all
the great spiritual truths with which
that belief has been ass ciated. He
did rot leave ths chuTch 10 become a
mere Theist, but continued to readthe
orthodox tervica in the BEDFORD
Chapel. "The time has come" he
said, "whsn ct any cost | mu t say
