at that time in America which invited a
student CT EImerson's gifts and tastes, no
longer seemed to him adjusted to his
needs; it slipped from him, he resigned
his pastorate; and though he preached oc-
c%asionally afterward, he became thereafter
distinctly a writer, maintaining himself
mainly by lecturing, and living in a plan
manner at Concord.
Theer was an intellectual fernent in
New England when Emerson was in his
carly manhood, and he was himself one
of the special and active agents in stirring
the minds OF men. Changes were taking
place III the way which people looked at
education, religion. politics, and society.
A great many subjects were discussed for
which there seemed to be no place either
IN the pulpit or in legislatures, and those
who had something to say weer in great
demand as lecturers. Public entertain
ments were not SO varied then as now.
nor so common. and people focked to halls
and meeting houses to hear lectures. EN-
erson, though not the most popular, was
the most celebrated of these lecturers.
and frequently gave courses Of lectures in
Boston and elsewhere. He was called
upon also to speak at college commence
menus anu on OIier special occasions. and
1t was rather through these lectures and
addresses than through his printed books
that Tor a long time, he made himself
known to men.
He made a voyage to Europe in 1922
on account of ill-health, and during his
Journey visited Thomas CARLYLE. then
scarcely more known than Emerson him
self. who had, however, discovered his
genius IN his writings. From this beginning
there grew one of the notable friendships
which sometimes mark the association of
intellectual men. Emerson went to Eu-
rope again in 1917, with special reference
TO courses OF lectures which he had been
invited to give In England. He made a
thlrd VISIT III 1872, and on these two occa-
SONS made and renewed ACQUAINTANCE
with leading thinkers and roets. Except
for his lecturing tours and these JOURNEYS

by James Bradley Thayer in his little
volume a Western Journey with Mr.

The coming st. Louis Exposition
promises TO be by far the most important
Of all American Fairs held thus far. Lon
don Worlds Fair in 1857 covered u acres.
The Philadelphia Centennial Fair of 1876
covered Sc acres. The Paris Fair in 1900
had l25 acres, and the Chicago World;

Guided in the Exposition fence will cover
1880 acres. There Is more money basis
for it than all the others had-$17 ,000, 600.
1t is finely situated. The buildings Will
be most ~commodious and admirable. Every
thing possible that science and money and
industry can supply Will be there to glad
den and please.
st. Louis is now a large city covering
62b square miles. 1t has 800 miles OF
streets, of which 500 are paved. 1t has
$50, 900 inhabitants, and twenty-seven
railroads enter it. 1t is the fourth city IN
size-New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St.
Louis. 1t is also the fourth in manufac-
lures. with 1000 manufactures. It sold
last year s120, 600, 900 of dry goods. one
house selling 49, GO, 900. The negro popu-
lation is but little over 6 per cent, and only
surprising Philadelphia but 1.4-10. It's
foreign born population is 19.4-10 per cent.
New York has over 331a; Boston over 80;
Philadelphia nearly 90 and Chicago mole

a loud, harsh voice.
But the chamberlain was something
of a humorist. and when he returned
to the mob he ~laughingly announced
that in regard to the misdoings with

that 1t was "a way with him."
Whereupon the mob reluctantly re-

became confused and completely lost
