of his inauguration. He went up and
took a snap shot at the ice-work at
the terminus of the corporation water
pipe, and also made a picture of
Landlord Randall, which he will no
foubt finishup with a great degree
Of satisfaction, and will probably
send Carroll'a copy.
&c. II. Frazer,s lecture Last Wednesday
Evening.
=, y In this lecture by. Hon. Charles II.
Frazer, typical western orator,
upon the subject, "The Worlds To
Morrow, or A Dream Of Destiny"
Morrisville people were given the en-
SQyable privilege of listening to a
Speaker who speaks, acts and carries
ones whole attention out and away
from him or herself into the perfect
kaleidoscope of. rapidly changing
thought and expression, ranging
from the intensely sublime to an ex-
IRENE opposite, and all from man
whose very voice it is pleasure to
hear. While treating Of the world
ito be, he also had much to say of the
has been and Of the present While
looking for changes to come, he still
1ooked for this mundane sphere to
remain much the same old world.
changes, he grants, have come and
will yet come along the lines of gov
eminent, of religious and social life,
but the same water, the same air,
Ghe same stars overhapging us, still
Temain, and it seems much the same
world as 5000 years ago. The
speaker looks for the world to be bet
ter morally, to be lifted to higher
and better plane. The talk about
the "good old times" was character
lied as all "twaddle, and the present
age claimed to be the sweetest and
best of all. The change of sentiment
regarding duelling and drinking was
referred to. There is to be a larger
enjoyment of wealth, a richer world !;
not that the rich will continue to
grow richer and the poor poorer, but
o more equal possession. Here the
lecturer branched off into a word
dream of how it would seem to be
born wealthy or rich, picturing the
accumulation of dollars as the hours
of the day passed, also showing the
Yankee faculty of making money.
Referring to the homes of the work
ing people, comparison was made
with the homes of the supposed ele-
giant past, showing those of the pres
ent to be 80 per cent. better. The
world of tomorrow is to be more
highly cultivated, with a healthier,
stronger condition, stronger bodies,
less sickness, fewer deaths in child
hood, and a longer-lived manhood.
There is to come a better and a higher
civilization The speaker, in connec-
ton with the prediction that there is
to come a broader and higher sphere
for woman and that the world will
take her more and more to it's heart,
paid an eloquent tribute to the wives
and mothers OF the present. Woman
shall stand together with man, and
with hands equal and united, shall
lift the great world of tomorrow to
q higher civilization. Tomorrow
will bring a purer, sweeter religion.
Religious ideas are to crystalize in a
broader Christian unity not in one
church, as there are too many minds
thinking different thoughts for that,
but unity of spirit will come. Reli-
gion, with arms extended, shall stand
in the center of this world, and all
mankind shall gather about her.
Not that he comes a Baptist, Pres
byterian or Methodist, but he comes
man redeemed by the sweet spirit
and influence of the Nazarene. Reli-
gion shall come to be not a theory
or creed, or doctrine, but q practice.
In closing, the speaker paid tribute
in eloquent words to the free schools
of the land, and the influence of the
white-haired, aged members of the
community. Filled with apt illus
trations, of which no idea can be
given in this outline, this lecture
must be recorded as one of the best.
