Our Friendly Union had rich treat, last Friday evening, in listening to lecture by Charles E Evans Esq, of Stockbrldge, Mass. His discourse was entitled 1.-The influence of the moun- tains," but the interest centered chiefly in the life, aud writings of the Poet Wordsworth. The lecturers aim was to show the effect mountain scenery poss- esses in ennobling our lives, and he had an apt illustration in his hero of the evening. MrEvans believes that Words worth's boyhood, and manhood, passed in close proximity to the '' everlasting hills" imbued his poems, Tot only with pathos but with an intense love of the beautiful in nature, that so strongly distinguishes them. The lecturer added much to the interest of his essay by recit- ing some of Wordsworths choice poems, which were so we'll rendered as to hold the audience spell bound.
