Mubic Lecture on "lUcn iar J'e lc' On ol

IS. Goiifib., at the Academy ol Muslo, Ittsti'vcninir,
on the occasion ot the dcltvi-ry of hi Inrturp,
under Ibe aiieplecs of the Vonnn Mori's Christian
Association, upon "Peculiar reople.' Mr.
Gongh was Introduced by Mr. George? W. Eddy,
Hnd was welcomed and prcetprl throughout but
address by htnrrj applause, li Is almost need
less to tay that the Kcturc was replete with
humor and pathos, intcrniincled witU tmo
artistic sum, and sanycu the vast audience Trim
tLe boisterous ppprecintion of the mtwt gro
tesque delineation ot l.uninn nature, through
the kindly, dcl'cate touch ol rental humor to the
saddening plctunngs ol nulicrluR and degrada
tion. Mr. Uouh said:
In wbateeri direction we turn we meet ani
mal life. Earth, air. and water are renlet wnh
living organisms, and teeni with evidences of
vunmy. nui no two leaves, no two annuals, no
two shells on the sea-shore are alike. And men
are most peculiarly distinct Irom each other.
Every one's experience teaches them this. The
faces have a universal lorm, and so the hearts
have a universal capacity. Siill many strikiuely
differing shades of character are appreciablo by
all. He did not intend to speak in sweeping
condemnation ol Individual peculiarities; but he
triihted to be able to portray some characteris
tics that would do more tnau merely amuse the
audience. Take ttie words ludy and gentleman,
and see how differing are their opinions of it.
An advertisement ol a wax-work exhibition said
that no lady or genth-mau would be admitted in
a state of intoxication. And another exhibition
of the fie ti ting ol one hundred rats said none but
pentltmrn would be admitted. Coleridge and
George IV were called gentlemen, but those who
debased themselves by druukenness were not
gentlemen. Wealth cannot purchase the nnmo.
A man may be tbe possessor of millions and be
a weak, mean, despicable, miserable screw. Ttie
hu hest nobill y may be typified by the poor
Englii-h letter-carrier, who touchinei'v fold him
he was accustomed, whenever he saw the check
ol the maid-servant to turn pale at the stent of
a black scaled letter, to take olf his hat in silent
sympathy. 8ociety is mado up of Individuals,
and though one were to shut his eyes, to fold
his arms, and to keep silence, yet he exerts an
influence by his very position. We have heard
f aid, what a pity that a man has so many queer
Eeculiarilics. Bui some are advanced as much
y their Decv.Varities as their companions are
cast behind by theirs. Some have (he happy
genial peculiarity of eastintr a litrht, ioyous
atmosphere around them, so that all are bright
ened and relreshed by their presence; while
others, benrish and intolerable, are what they
call frank spoken persons, who have the most
unenviable peciilisrify of making every one
most intensely dissatisfied. There was an old
story, but a good one, that a literary man told
about a friend whom he Had invited to join him
in writing a literary work. "What." said his
friend, ''how can a horse and an ass work to
pcther?" "What do jou mean? Why do you
insult me by calling me a iwse?" responded the
writer to his grum f riend. Some have the queer
peculiarity ot noc appreciating a joke, like the
man who heard a ioke at 9J and laughed at it
at 3J. Some have no music in their souls; they
only know two tunes, and do not. like any
others. Some are inveterate grumblers. As
the old woman said to her nclehbor, "Ah, she
may think she will get to Heaven, but when she
gets there I guess she won't find the things to snit
her!" In striking contrast to this was the
story of the old woman who was tossed about In
a most tumbled-up condition; and who replied
to the conductor asking it she was hurt, and
telling ber that they had had a collision and
killed a half-dozen men. "Why, sir, I thoueht
that was always the way in which you stopped
the cars 1" Oh I this is a elorious world! It is a
most happy privileee to live in it and 10 work
in it. Let a man do bis work lor himself, for
humanity, and tor his God. Let a man bo true to
himself and to his God, and he may brave
every calamity and live down every enemy.
Let a man conquer himself that is his great
est enemy, and that is the greatest fieht ho has
to do. Coming in the cars from the West, he
noticed a little child who was suffering with a
slight cough. A big, sympat hizincr inun steoped
up to tbe mother and said, "Marm, what's the
matter with tbe little one " "I lear she has (he
croup, sir." "Dear me, and s'je is iust tne aire
to die of the croup," responded Ihe queer con
soler. Queer things are peculiarities. Witness
the man who, when he had swum across hall' the
river turned and swam back again because ho
was afraid he could not swim across. And the
old lady who, learning that the bridge sne had
just crossed was a very danifrous one to pass
over, cried out, "Dear me !" and immediately
drove back again. There was an old school
master who cried out: "Order, order ! who is
the lather ol Zebedee's children?" Nobody
knew. "Who is the father of John Smith?"
"Mr. Smith," squeaked out a childish voice.
"Well, then, who is the father of Zebedee's
children?" "Mr. Smith," squeaked back the
voice. Then comes the photograph'o mania.
Boire one has been presented with a book,
an album, and thereupon assaults every
one, begging for a photograph; for the
victims to spend a quarter a piece to be put,
perhaps, between the fat boy and Tom Thumb.
Mow, a little coincidence for you to hear,
whether you think it one or not. It is lust
twent-three years ago to-nieht that I made my
first speech on temperance. Then the mania
was for mesmerism. Afterwards it was for
having the bumps felt, and every one inquired,
"Have you had your heal examined?" At last
one poor man was cauuht, and answered, "No,
never since my mother u-ed to examine it."
Next came spirit rapping, lollowing after all the
other isms. A most perplex in ht and tiring pecu
liarity Is that nianitestud by those unconscious
bores who intrude themselves so incessantly
upon their acquaintances and strangers alike.
An I how InteuHitied are those bores when one
is suffering from a severe at'ack of sea sickness,
prostratm? a!l one's energies and desire of life,
and they persist iu their intrusive offers of food
or ditaureeable questions. It is proper to Joke,
neht to oke, good to juke. Man is the only
animsl who can laugh, and we all feel we can
trust a man who can laueti a loud, hearty laugh.
But those terrible, persistent lokers, who laugh at
everything, are taxing to human oattonce.
inese loner are-apt to (all uito irreverence. It t
is in reverence to laugn and 'ear away tbe false
decoration mid sophistries which some have
thrown about religion: but to joke at the Holy
Scriptures, to twist and tiru the lessons and
text of thut Holy Bible to iests and scorn, is
wickedness and impiety. No one has a right,
no one should dare to tlio out a slur that may
turn a brother, st ruggliue lor the liehtot reli
gion, away Irom the true path. He can only do
thflt by imperilling his soul. On the other side
is that whiuintr cant that some have in talking
of rel glous things; but, perhaps, that cant does
not affect Philadelphia. In talking to a young
man of religion, do it from the heart, with love
outflowing. Do not come lo him with the face
lengthened out, the comers of the mouth drawn
down, and that detestable whining voice. He
had been so unfortunate once as to be enter
tained by two ladies. The entertainment
would have been pertect, had they only left
him entirely to himself. But one or tbe
ladies would speak to him In a dreary,
whining tone, of the way he had been led by
Piovidence, and, meanwhile, would break her
conversation witn him to tell the servant, in a
dlenitied, womanly tone, "Jsne, shut the door;"
"Put more coal on the fire." Why did she not
speak to me in the dignified, womanly tone, and
order the servant In the whining voice? In this
age of dashing Young America, when a young
man thinks it is manly to be impertinent, li is
comfortably refreshing at times to encounter a
bashful young man. Look at the one who is
abiut to make a proposal, an offer of his hand
and his heart, and practises before a glass for
months, and repeats over his arranged speech.
But, utter all this, the bold man of brass is apt
to walK in and carry off thf pri.e. Young
ladles, encourage the diffident, modest young
man. He will be the support ot your after lite:
ever ready to shield you in sicuness and trouble.
Itthe bold, dwhlug, rakish young man, who
tliiul he favors you by his attention, go, and
THE DAILY
lake the irorirn yoi,mr msn. Many a man has
his t:HrB done bj hi- ite, who ulwas does
her omn due share, and dors it e'i, too. Many
a dull man owes much of his position
in society vo tne ability of his wne.
How queer!? the dilierence of organiza
tions ate that mate with each other! See
thut litcle, dumpy figure, scarce ablcfo reach up
lo the arm of her husband. Ah. beauty is not
the truest test of womanhood ! Some of our
noMest living women are those plain-tacel ones
so often reelected; they do not have that frt
y lon, easily excited feeling some call love,
but their hearts well up a treasure of love too
olt. c unappreciated. The best earthly gift God
tan sive lo a msn Is the wenl-h tf a tmp wo.
msns love. Woe be to that man ho can
trample upon the out-gushing love, the womaniy
heart of his wife, and daily tramulo down her
finer nature, until he kills her, and does a most
foul deed of murder positively unquestionably,
murder. Did you ever meet persons who are
constitutionally slow in conversiitloi, who make
you, as it weie count many bars ot Intervals be
tween their words ? Freaks of memory furnish
oddities numerous enough to fill volumes. W'10
has not oMen laughed at a friend who could not
call the name ot the person he wished to speiik
of 01 to introduce? Then there are some men
who think It manly to tyranui.p, to domineer
over those who seem, lor the moment, to be
under their control. Is the man brave who
goes into a restaurant and orders imoerlo isly
around the waiter who is endeavoring' to servo
him ? That man Js not brave. We are brave
when we are able to overcome the evil tenden
cies of our own nature. It is when we live in
the sacred tboairhts and deeds uctua'ed by our
duty to (iod, without regard lo ttie temptations
of life and of poor hiiiuiiintv, that we tire truly
brave. God bless the libera) hearted men o'
wealth, who open wide their purse-strings to
help tne poor, ino detitute, and ttia sullerinp.
There are men who hold a hL'h position in
society who nre me.m enouu'h to steal berries
out ot a basket a bliud girl is picking for her
sick mother. How contemptible Is a citv last
man, but far more contemptible Is the country
fast man! Poor, miserable, pit ful, contempt
ible tools, who think they are uplnting them
selves above their fellows by their foppish,
vulgar, boorish ways. Manliness, true, ever
living example of manliness, is that shown by
the brave-hearted crew that, in the burning

Visiting Firemen. The Vigilant Fire
Company ot this city, with Mr. George W. Tryon
iPresiJent of the Fire Association), its Presi
dent, and Alderman Hurley, its Secretary and
Treasurer, are preparing for their grand trip to
the westward. They start out on Sunday night

go from there to Albany, return to New York,
and wind up with a pleasant visit to Jersey City.
Beck's Band will accompany them. Some sixty
ot the members will go upon the trip. The

instant.
A Navai. Case. A writ of habeas corpus
was yesteiday granted by Judge Cadwalader, at
the relation of Jobn McCall, commanding Cap
tain Kockendorl, ot the United States Receiving
Ship Jrinceton, to produce the said McCall
before the Court, and to show cause why he
was detained as prisoner on board of the vessel,
A. otw7.,9Bt?in Bockendorf made a return
that McCall had been arrested on the charge of
larceny committed wnile in the naval service of
the United States, und that he was held for trial
before a court martial. Evidence of the fact
was produced, and Judge Cadwalader remanded
McCall to the custody of Captain Rockendorf.
The Iriends of McCall say that when the alleged
larceny was committed he was acting under the
order of a superior officer, a master's mate, who
is in custody on the charge of larceny also.
Freaks of an Insane Man. William
B. Fries, who about five weeks ago shot Frede
rick Robinson at a restaurant at Fifth and
Walnut streets, mounted one of the seats in In
dependence Square yesterday morning, and com
nienced a harangue which soon drew a crowd
about him. There was such Incoherence in his
remarks as to leave no room for doubting his
insanity, and he was taken 'n charge by a police
man, and removed to the Blockley Hospital for
lunatics.
Car on Fire. Quite an excitement was
caused last evening in one-of the Tenth street
oa?senger cars, by the burning ot a quantity of
oil which had rot outside of the lamp. The con
ductor, failing to extinguish the flame, was com
pelled to push the lamp through the glass into
the street, and then extiuguish the flame In the
car with water.
Boy Ron Over. John Doyle, seven years
old, residing near Broad and Cherry streets, was
run over, yesterday, by a coal car on Broad
street, and had one of hlu feet mashed and the
other severely hurt. He was removed to the
HobpHbI.
Butteb Cheats. The Clerks of Markets
during the past week' seized 86 lumps of butter
that were of light weight. Ttie present price of
butter is hlh enough, we should think, to en
couiage honesty, '

In attendance to he on the lookout for them.
The counsel for the defendant argued that there
was not testimony sufJicicut to make out a
f ritna j'jci cae, but the AHerman thought
dillereiitly, and held Blown to bail to answer.
John II. Parker was before Alderman Hurley,
J csterdav, on the chorge ol picking the pocket
