"Corresponding Secretary."
The relief that I felt, when I read the lore
pome U nee, whs not unmixed with a shrinKiu
fteuxil'on, a-i 01 Clnclnnains suddenly sum
minted lo tle livd ot tne Kouititi annies. My
repnnl tor public speakers, never profound,
amounted in the space of two moments to the
deepest admiration. What were dodainir chain,
canibter, and lead, to the deadly concentration
of a hundred opera-p lasses and tne inward
compMisou of a thousand silent jurymen and
jrossips, who had listened to the silver periods
of Wendell l'hillips, and lived an intellectual
litetune in every ep'grnin ot Mr. Buiersou !
Hidden behind my dime turn curtains, with a
nancy and Itcliiiitr q-i'V. tosklrml .h betore tho
tlippant body of convictions, of which every
. journalist has a corps d'armee, I could wound,
demoralize, or rout a village ol sentimental
ists; but to urnmsk iu the presence of tho foe,
and show tliPin the nakedness of the oracle they
ware d Ueh. 1 it maJe me ashamed.
Wba t faculties had I for public speaking ? My
voice was t-harp, but t-haipuess without volume
was like one ot Karraut's rams without wetRht.
I was accused of coutHence, and had dexte
rously affirmed the mistake, but my conscience
whispered to me that it was only a species of
sensitiveness too proud to shrink when it
wanted to. Had 1 race? Ho! ho! it had
taken tne a week to sit astride a hore; my sister
would not waltz with ine; 1 gestured most eilec
tively with my hands imuy pockets; 1 was too
intense in every subject to be earnest in any;
and ni ver took a leson in elocution since ban
ished from the misery, prematurely, for si
lence. In brief, I was a beardless yoh'h ot twenty
four, with that unfortuuate browunesi of' locks
and lightness of eyes for which one is ch si
lenced at the polls as a minor up to his fortieth
birthday.
I do not say that I am eivinfr a fair picture of
myself in this; but it is a faithful copy of my
conceptions of mynelf when the Pottawatta
mie Association sumaioned me to the ros
trum. Just at this wavering time, however, the
Thebes Association, the .Alexandrian Library,
and the Irrawaddy Institute sent on word that
they joined the Pottawgttamies, and were quite
anxious to hear me talk at my earliest pleasure.
Very soon I had seme twenty applications, and
when I showed them to Mr. Fillip, the manaer
ine editor, he said: "t!o iu I lecturing is the
easiest way in the world of petting on."'
I therefore replied to the Pottawattamics that
I should be happy to address them upon the
ltecreations of our Special Correspondent"
early iu December, and next day ereat num
bers of people in the city of Pottawattamie
were reading my name on dea I walls, and won
dering what my "Recreations" had been, and
how much I asked to tell them. In the course
of a week the Pottawattamie daily papers came
to haud, and as I looked over the list of lec
turers who were to favor the Association during
the winter, I felt the shrinking sensation again,
and wondered by what subtlety of ouimunioa
tion my name, and the product-ions of, it, hint
ever recommended me to that remote public
which had arisen to confronc me by the shores
of Lake Erie, us suddenly and as iutimitiatitiffiy
as trom the anie spot the stature of the gret
Pontiac himself invoked the earliest English
men. For in that list were the names of fie
proles?ors, Himmaiaya and b;iurgeoise. the llrst
a university oracle, the second a natural philo
sopher, as dating as Herbert Spencer, whom ho
loved; the Napoleonic historian, II ibitt; the
versatile divine, Malletl; the gr?at Cough, in
spired ol temperance; De Seville, tho most
origiiiol of huruorHrs out of the nursery; Tons
saint and Petard, aboriginal agitators, au:l (tout'-,
ral Ta.ionis, the statistician ol valor. Sand
wiched auiidiit so much learning, I tully entered
into the leellugs of a junior counsel, retimed in
a terrific murder trial, if, indeed, my finishes
were not as guilty as those ot the criminal, r,ur
rounded by so much learning. That I had
previously lectured was no assurance whatever.
Rather did I suti'cr infinite suspense at the a I-
monition of that wild foray upon the Lanca
shire coast, where I tpeDt my last sovereign to
make public sentiment on the American ques
tion, and was paid in storms of cheers and
eounter-cheers, with scarcely enough glory to
reach Liverpool. Iu the meantime the lecture
associations, representing thPir own interests,
were emphatic in thoir indorsements. It made
me pale to read paiairiHplis from the Hu'Ihoii
to Lake Michigau, dilating upon the fluency of
my address, the sonorousness of my utterances,
and the pictorial dignity of my characteriza
tions. The Secretary ot the Pottawattamie bad
a versatility of laudation little short ot genius,
and he must have et all the bo.s in Pottawat
tamie to saving their sixpences tor the arrival ot
the pieat Manhattan elocutionist.
The interval was brief, and I tried to prepare
m.y ess-ay, but with these effervescent feelings I
indicted only Incoherences. Day after day
Slipped by not in procrastination, for I avow
that I never worked so hard in my life but
every sheet that I composed dropped piecemeal
to the basket, and the nights were no more real
than the " Sleeping Beauty's'' when the whole
parquet ogles her as she dreams; till, at last. I
awoke with a thrill one Monday morning, with
only thirty-six hours between me and publicity.
Then, like a man called upon to prepare a
speech for the scaliold, I resolved, if I tailed in
all the elegancies and powers of oratory, to be,
at least, iuodest and sincere. I walked apart a
little way, and it came to me, as I communed
perturbeiily that it ever iu my life an occa
sion could arise void ot temptations and
selfishness, 5 it would be in that hour
of talk, the night to tall, when the
people should look into my eyes and measure
uie by what I said, not bv what I seemed. In
the iournal8 I was not myself, but an agent of
the convictions of my masters. Therelore, as
lecturer, I would tell the plain truth of journal
ism without sneer or varnlah, and uttering no
sentiments that were not convictions, belike
wise cauoid in my person, and say no period
for mete applause, and put the people to sleep
, rather than be their builoon. With a platform
of princioles to stand upon, it is astonishing how
promptly words came to express them. Calm
ness came, too, and I went to Ilion in a sleeping
car, with nothing to lecture about, as quietly m
Tour Anverpne surrendered his forces to the
windmill when he bad a musket at hU b tck.
At llion I had me a tire built, and began
to write betore breakfast. At four o'clock
tbB "ltecreations'' were oown iu black aud
w hite, and then the committee called.
J 1 1 have any motive whatever m this article
It is to pay trihv.te to the splendid boly of Ame
liean vou'rg men who are forming, at so miicti
sacrifice, and with such enthusiasm, a HUTary
ecntiuvnt throughout the Western, country.
Krora the JN'orrh river to the Mississippi,-! no
luithcr, there are Lecture Companies, soundly
organized, and commonly the nucleus or the'
consequent nt a larce Incorporated library. They
are oiten rich and potential, aseverywhere they
are the aathetic Influence of their several com
munities and moro uimel(lnh organization
exist nowhere in the world. They have Pttle
commercial ambition, and cater to no intestine
vanities, but watch the periodical literature of
the country, to encourage any rising star, and
knowing nothing of I he envies and bitternesses
01 letters, are alike Independent of partisan pre
judices. . They ure at once the active and the
ccnservative po er of the West. No charlatan
ism meets them but to be axliatned : no timid
excellence but to be approved. I would have
the young litterateurs of New York made aware
ot tbetc silent and vigilant censors, w ho hold
personal intearity to be an inseparable com
ponent ot talent, and loc siirht ot no public
w riter Horn the dute of his first success till his
death.
Of this description were the committee-men
of llion ficsh. handsome, fallacious who
measured me at the first salute, and pleasantly
inquired as to my wishes for th" nieht. These
were lew : to be introduced Without an adjec
tive, and by my name alone not my pnst nor
mv promise'; aglajsof wartr; areulinic stand;
aid a strong, shaded luzht. The committee
wci nnxious to exhibit their ci'y, but to
obliginu ceiitlemcn of my own profession bad
an cad secured me, with that dsien, and thj
afternoon stole away iu such genial meander
ine, that I only remembor how soberly anl
respectably the night closed around me, and
liow hunger and older I grew together, ai
I clinibed the stairs ot the Iiton Hall, and
stood in the dreeing room. It was tilled with
jounc men, sedately affable, and, of them all, I
was the youtgist. If they were a trille con
cerned at my extreme youth, 1 telt my pride ex
pnnccd iu their doubt, and (dipped oil my hat
and overcoat, and locked once ia tho little mir
nor. The lace I saw there was the sou of the
mnn it reflected. I walked to the stage door and
eluncedatthe audience. Ohl heart that I feel
wrinkling; oh ! boy that I feel growing man
untimely; ohl early, earnest, fond thrill of
riprnine recognition; I wish that the winter
wonld roll back and let me live that glance
again !
There were a thousand people assembled; the
plumes in the bonnets, the gloss of the curls, the
eyes all fused and llabhmg and waiting, the hurry
at the door, the low, expectant gossip, the splen
dor ol the l thts 1 lelt an mutant's dimness,
happiness, terror
"Come," said the Secretary, "let us go on."
There was an old geatleman. portly and im-
f losing, who, somehow, got on with our party,
le was at once seized on as the "Special Corres
spondent," though how he could ever have
ridden a horse, or, with those pounds avoirdu
pois, hud any "Ilecreatioiib" whatsoever, was
my mental interrogatory, even in that critical
instant. I took the middle chair President and
Secretary on either haud; the puige tilled imme
diately; I heard my name pronounced, and was
standing at tne little reading desk, with my
book spread out. and all the eyes w ide open,
with a sort of surprised smile in the bottoms of
them, and perfect silence.
It is onlv to lasten every public speaker's
first sensations into type thut 1 dwell upon the
phases ot that eveniuc. Those who have passed
them may be assisted to revive their reminis
cences; the coming orators may gajn a fore
taste. The first perception was that of crudenens
talking to confusion. Whether anybody or
everybody whispered, or whether all the ribbons
blew, or all the sas jets Hashed, or a concert of
Indiflert-nce arose, I determined only that nobody
wns listening, and became myself listless, so
that I could take note of the pitch and tone of
m.y voice. These truly seemed incongruous; I
mude no roundnesses; everything cut like a
knife', but not a word echoed. I appeared to
talk to all the corners and cornices and window
sills; my eyes lacked directress, like my matter;
I was lolling, uot declaiming, and the unities ia
my essay became painfully iaiperlect. I won
dered myself what end I was talking towards,
and everybody seemed gaping to hud out as
much.
It a man wants his faults of rhetoric ex-posed
to himself as much as his faults of elocution to
his audience, let him declaim bis best composi
tions betore a thousand people.
The second sensation is that of extraordi
nary ucuteness addressing individualities. The
senses grow quick, as quicksilver; you hear a
chair rattle; you see a cock-eyed man look
two ways, and tollow both his angles
of vision ; you feel the texture of the greeu
baize under your palm; you wonder why a com
ma instead of a colon was written in a certain
place ot your manuscript; then you become
iniercsted in cerrain faces, and know exactly
what they are expressing; the person in the
long beard is cold and incredulous you make
a dead set at him to talk him into sympathy ;
the old woman in .the Leghorn bonnet sleeps
with one eye you talk that eye awake in no
time, and are vcrv ill at ease if you dou't. In a
wordj-jou pick saliences out of thedudieuce,
as roints ol attack are picked out of a fortifica
tion. All at once, while you proceed with your
analyi-is, a sort of clatter beius. It is like tho
distant tumble ot crockery; but it travels up
and down the floors, as table-rappings arosaid to
do, very timidly at first, but directly all the edges
oi soiuid roll into one concave, and . there is a
peal io powerful that you cannot hear yourself
at all. It takes a moment or two for you to tully
understand this (lemonstratiou. Suddenly yoii
feel that it is applause. You can remark two
old gentlemen with canes who are rapping: a
woman, until now very pallid and attentive, is
observed to Hush, a9 if she felt somerhing you
averred; only the cock-eyed man is imperturba
ble, but it is impossible to say when he smiles
and when he don't.
You dbtrufct this applause till you see what
drew it forth, and, to jour great joy, it la one of
onr earnest, indi?na"nt truths that stirred the
hearts of people. This you feel to be a much
nobler sort of approbation than if you bad merely
invoked the shaft ot Hunker hill and call d the
army gazette aloud ; so you are vastly encouraued,
and lork upon your audience as highly intelli
gent. The nr.4 laugh you excite strengthens
jour confidence immensely; it shows you that
people are not averse to laughing, and that you
are r.ot so much of a death's hcud as you sup
posed. As the moments slip, you become per
sonally acquainted with every man, woman, and
child In the house. If there is a yawn it plagues
you to tear; a boy who has been sitting with his
mouth open, hugely interested, suddenly shuts
It; you would have that boy hanged unless ho
gaped on the spot ! Stayl a person rises ; is he
really going to leave the house? -The old dis
trust at once returns; your interest must bo
Magging if that inan should leave. Huzza I he is
only taking oil bis overcoat, and, as he sits
apain you Inwardly pronounce him tbe most in
telligent man in llion. It is the cock-eyed man
who receives your most tremendous sentences
with tho same doubtful divergence; he hears
jour poetry with one eye in the cornice and the
other in your vest pocket, and you are Irate be
cause you cannot talk both eyes together.. At
lsft, after an hour ot thrills, and joys, and sus
penses, yoUilcelthe last word or your lecture
glide away, and hear tho feet all thunder at
once, and everybody rises, and you Jail into a
thousand million arms, and shake hands with
mankind, and bow and smile out of real exube
rance to ever body, .
Then you tiud yourself before the grate
in your room with certain of the
commltee pleasantly conversing; they do
uol know what burning deire i you
have to bear the success ot the night talked
over, and every comment you interpret three
ways, as sensi'ive as jealousy to the tritest re
gard. At last the secretary rises and spruads a
receipt-book npo" the table; you see the gieeu
backa unrolled, and feel abashed and merceuary,
but jour name got down, and he discloses bo
lore it a long roll L-f famous autographs. ; Here
is Ilenr; Giles there Cavazzl close before
Heeclier a phalanx ol bishops a whole faculty

I had no trouble with any of my appoint
ments, and journeyed lrom town to town,
straight westward, making a zlzzug through the
Connecticut Western Reserve, and describing an
arc through Michigan and Northwestern Illi
nois, to 'return to the Pennsylvania border, and
fulfil some scattering obligations. In this cir
cuit, once repeated, i travelled seven thousand
miles lrom my point of departure, and tor three
consecutive weeks spoke every night. It oc
curred to me, therelore, that Pulip, tho manag
ing editor, was more literally than figuratively
correct, w hen he described lecturing a' a good
way to 'get on.' In truth, I found it hard enough,
and harder by its apparent ca-c; for where one
expects an excursion and cardies cold, rheuma
tism, and diseases ot the spleen he crows old by
the sheer deceit of the thing. I olteu lectured
two hours, entertained the committee till mid
night, and had to rise at three o'clock in the
morning to b able to make the next connection.
Combined with this phienl distress was the
dread of failing spirits, which no and then
oveituke the liveliest peiipateiic. An audience
knows little of the man w ho rises before them
in cloth and linen, smooth of beard and speech,
and pleases for an hour, and disappears. There
is a nameless melancholy and indisposition
which makes that seance an hour-on-the-rack
to the philosopher himself.
One of tlietmost popular lecturers last winter
was the rattling westetn journalist, Reel Liwler.
He painted in oil and music, was a tender senti
mentalist, and had no supeiior in tho power of
interesting and einbullishimr. Yet ho is said to
have sullcied this peripatetic melancholy so
poiecnntlv, that to escape his audicice he some
times hia iiiiiiselt and had to be bullied into
speaking. Human nature, unless it has the
levity of a girl in her teens, is not equal to the
duty of being agresable six nights in seven.
Once I halted at the great railway town of
l'atmos, and at the signt ol my name
upon a board lence, felt a description of
intligMition. The committee received me
with the urbanity ot sovereigns; I had thp
best room in the inn ; thp tare was fresh
and savory; the audience quick to appreciate
and charitable to enthusiasm. Rut I seemed to
be talking at the stake, with the llamcs in my
throat. 1 could not smile. Applause made me
cynical. I w ent back to ray room with a dismal
consciousness ot absolute failure, and would not
be comforted by my dearest animate. The next
morning, as I was leaving tho town in wrath,
the enterprising Patmians o' the as-oeiation
overtook me. The words were on my lips.
"Take back your money; I know I did not
earn it."
Rut the Secretary only meant to Invite mo to
lecture again as I came eastward, and I heard
him, like a u.an deliberately lied to.
It v as farthest from my anticipations, at the
beginuincr, that I should have any campaigning
to do, as when au army "non-combatant;" but
once, at the village of Omnivorum, I discovered,
alter my lecture, that two railways made no
connection, whereby I was quite cut otf from
tbe city of Popocai apelt, though solemnly an
nounced to appear there within eighteen hours.
Rut there was another railway, fifty odd miles
distant, w hich did make connection wiUi the
Popocatapelt road, and, twejty minutes after I
heard ot it. an obliging committee-man was
going straight for the place, through the
ruts and pitholes of the nignt. We drove alter
nately; for it was cold as i amine, and
every bone in our bodies crackeo, and tiem
bled, and c;ird out. Now I lell from the'
lorward seat itto the shivcruig committee-man's
lap, and now thecommlttce-man butted me otf
the scat, so that our hori?e believed he was both
to harness and to saddle. No at we dropped into
a ravine horse and dearborn, as if driven over
a clitl: and now were tlyiuz vertically upwards,
as on a moonbeam, with every muscle ot the
nag bursting with exertion. We could not
sleep, having to shift liom side to side all night
to ballast the wagon; and when we could look
at eac h other in the morning, both appeared to
have been spouted out ol a mud-eevser, au l to
be quite spent and lunatic. Rut 1 got to Popo
catapelt, rind aner one hour's sleep, took up my
lecture w ith pertect success to myself.
I think it was Jouston, the rising layman and
editor, who made so unfortunate couuectious
two years ago. He strucK a town on the wrong
nipht, and got a telegram, when just too late,
that it was another town, sixty miles oil", that
expected him. So he paid a hundred dollars for
a special train, and when he reached the other
town, rain fell, so that the w hole audience might
have been put out ot doors by one tolerably
muscular man. In this manner, one week's
expei .mrnt lost Jouston both money and spirits,
though he was said to be a powerful speaker.
The most embarassing cause of the lecturer's
ni n-rebability does not come lrom within
himself, but is due to the carelossness
of secretaries. The system of lecturing in
the United States is a series ol skeins,
the threads of each skein being routes, and the
points where the ektuns communicate are lite
rary intelligence oliices. Thus, Albany, Syra
cuse, Rutlalo, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Detroit,
Chicago, and Cincinnati may be called the in
telligence offices. At each of the? e the Cor
responding Secretary of the regular lecture
association distributes his lectnrers to the sur
rounding towns; n he be a man of method, ho
can give them continuous euqagemeuts, so that
they will lose no nights in idleness, and yet
travel oiily email distances each day. But where
a Secretary undertakes to 'manage ' a dozen
lecturers, he not uncommonly thakes thenv
together like so many sugar-pluu.s in a box. It
was the I'rofessor Ro'urgeriso and Reverend Rip
ple who so met each othci one season. Bour
geoise wus riding along joyously between Michi
gan and Illinois, calculating the- amount of
motion in digestion, and wondering why his
dinner didn't tive him more heat, when these
dynamical reflections were arrested by a hand
on his shoulder:
"Good morning, BourgeoUe! where do you
speuk to-night?"
"At Chihuahua, my dear Ripple."
"Bless my soul, no 1 It is I who am booked
for Chihuahua."
"No, sir!' !
"Yes, Mr! here is the Secretary's letter: Chi
huahua, January itth "
"And here, ditto I" cries Bourgeois: "Chihua
hua. January 9rh."'
' AS ho is your Secretary ?" '
"SlHaMP
"ItUDoaxihlo I h's mine!"
They both looked at each other a minute, and
the flushes on their faces melted at last into a
laugh. . i
"Shodd's an uufaithful steward 1" said Ripple.
"Oh I" said Roureeoise, "he'll seud three oi us
to the sume town next Monday." i
t'We'll have a duel iu cotlee!" said Hippie;
"whoever drinks himself to nervousness .shall
go to bed, and give the other the floor." I
They went along wiih some misgiyiuga,
chaiitable as gentlemen are, till, as. I hey came
in sight of Chihuahua, they aw upon a great
)nni .....it. r

more pleased attendant than, the philosopher,
his rival. . .
The etiquette of the peripatetics and their
entertaineia is generally kindly and cam) d.
You quit Pottawattamie, perhaps, at dar)ight.
You have a book to read Id tbe train, and ten
to one, there are-peoplo In the same car' who i
have heard your lecture. Alter a while one of
these approaches and introduces himself.. Ho
at once. Inquire what you think of the We -tern
country. You express yourself reservtdly bs
well pleased, and the Western man at onii e asks
It you were not astonished. i
"Ohio's did well tn the war," he savs: "we're
mighty proud of our rte-cord."
Alter Bve or six hours you reach tho place
where jon are to speak, and seo a group of
young gentlemen anxiously regarding the pas
sengers as thev descend. Thy at once hit upon
you as tue "Special Cortespohdent," and come
lorward in a body: i
"Mr. Trample, I believe" In a glurt sort
of voire. "Mr. Trample Mr. Coolidge,
Mr. Gath, Mr. Jehocolt." You speak to all these
in turn, and are set in a coach tn no time, and
away jou go up the street, to see your name
posted on every corner, and the committee-men
explain all pomts of Interest :
"There is our Masonic Hall! You seethe
spire of the Female Seminary over the black
smith's shop; the young ladies will come out in
lorre to-nieht; this edifice is the residence of
Congressman ingot; he made his money on the
railroad; we think him a very souni man. Our
hotels, as you see, are very neat, though not
imposing; this is the village market." "Does
the towa improve?" "Well.no! but it ought
to, for we have got the bet hnrbor on tho
lake!"
You dismount at the hotel, and the landlord
heats who you are, he ha a tire made by the
cclondboyin his best room, and while the
committee judiciously retires, he says:
"A lively little town this, sir; but it ought to
g;ow taster, tor we've got the best huroorou the
lake."
The colored boy who makes the fire Is named
Philip, and hehascontusi-d ideas of the functions
ot a u-elurer. He thinks you may combine saw
dust aiul a macic-lanteru, and looks at your
muscles to see if you are tbe Massachu-icrts
Hercules; but, judgment being adverse, con
cludes that jou are a great humorist, and
sas:
"J r. All". Burnett was hynh last week; but he
bud opposition wi' the Infant Orator, an' I guess
he come out shawt."
"A lively town is Glucksbtirg, Philip !"
"Well, sah ! dey don't prow, somehojv, do dcy
sav dey got de best harbor on de lake."
Directly the committee sends a delegate back,
w ho intimates his desire to further develop the
beauties of Glucksburg. He covers you with
warm wolf skins, and is a most intelligent cice
rone, respectful and spirited, ana, as jou listen
to him, a pride develops that jou never felt
betore in the joting men of the republic. He
misses no lane, atlev, cottage nor hencoop. He
is high-minded and reverential in his graver
conception", and while zealous In the interests
ol his town, comprehends the claims of all the
country, except when be avers, In a quick and
doered corollarv. that "We've cot the best hur.
bor on the lake." I
lrom Bull'alo to Toledo there is no settlement
of any description that does not claim a natural
superiority. Of tne mciits ot these claims I am
not informed; but In this village pride lies much
ot the individual energy ot the country. You
can never make a great nation out of a people
who are ready to admit anything against them
selves. The devotional character of the American
people can never be lully understood by one
who is lam.liiir with the Eas. alone. The young
lilkrateur who does not stir out of New York
may write tashionable skepticism for his own
litile circle with some applause, and esteem the
highest appreciation that of rationalists and
materialists. Rut this is a country ot religious
people; aud in those parts of the West wuere
we dimly hear ot strange sects and gospels, the
orthodox preacher is most powenul. 1 think I
never lectured belora any audience where two
clergymen were not present, and they repre
sented the most progressive intelligence of the
town. As a specimen of the extreme piety of
the Noithwest, I may refer to my experience in
Gilnoa, Michigan.
Gil boa applied for me very early in tho sea
son, and I looked at the map in vain to find ir.
Concluding it to be a very little place, I half
made up m.y mind to decline the Invitation; but
the Cilhoaites manifested so obliging, forgiving,
and accommodating a spirit, that I could not
finally say nay. Therefore, one aftpruoon in
February, I pot out of a Michigan Central train,
and while looking lugubriously at a great, cold
stage-coach, which was marked "Uilboa," a
young Indian of the Chippewa tribe introduced
himselt as the Secretary of the (ill boa In
stil ute. He and two of his associates put me
in a "jumper," and we followed the enow
bells over wild and vaguely peopled hills,
in the midst of which, ever and anon, a
frozen lake hung suspended. The winds
wt re p'eicmg; tbe tkies were co'd as marble;
the larms, hewn out of oak, showed yet the
tusks ot their primal wilderness, driven under
ground but still dehant. Twelve miles ol abo
riginal travel the reins held by this son of a
Chippewa Chiet, which made even sterner and
moie savage the pallop towards the Poles
bin wed us on a bleak hill-top, where a few
indomitable oaks held picket against the storm,
a scattered settlement, which reminded me of a
Jesuit Mission Post, such as Pere Marquette
established. In the middle a great brick cot
tage stood, three stories high. Hanked across
the road by an academy of framed plank; and
every res deuce in the town was either a profes
sor's, or ttat of some family which hud re
moved hither to give its children an education.
A Congregational minister louuded it. Lost
one day in the woods, in the winter of 1857, he
came out thrice on this h ll-top, and at last said to
himselt: "God is tu tots: he means me to found a
school here." Another cottage iu Ohio had pre
viously been reaied by this Protestant Jesuit;
but he again went zealously to work, preaching
the Gospel of education, aud to day there are
at Gilboa three hundred men, girls, boys, aui
women black, red, aud pale-luced -and a town
without a tavern, which cloes not desite itself to
be the county-seat, , nor, to have a railway
within ten miles of it. The whole faculty called
upon me, all of them, I think, being clergunen,
and one of these said that every resident ot the
town of accountable years was a "professing
Christian. " It very naturally occurred to Our
Own Correspondent that he had reached the
wrong camp, and the impulse was formidable
to bide myself in tbe woods. Tnis disputing
with doctors In the temple was at least novel;
and when I took my place in the pulpit ot the
church, I was uot a little alarmed by the choir,
climbing to my side, aud rehearsing, "Behold,
the Bridegroom cometh." Then we had a prayer,
the 1 rue charity and intelligence of which aoated
its formality, and tbe choir thundered:
"ohernjan is coininc; geek tho Union lines:
Srothois, the iroe Sag b own."
My fears were pone two minutes after I began
to speak. They all laughed heartily, and put
theit tieelsdown in the right plaoes: and though
1 nearly froze the next morning as I returned, I
have a ilent kindly love of everybody in Gilboa.
This town is a tample settlement ot the groat
principles which have triumphed in this coun
try over all opposition devotion and education.
A very different experience was that of Bishop
Colossus, who followed me at Hominy City.
The hotl of that place is far Inferior to the
enterprise and pith ot its people; so the lec
turers are taken to private houses, ani the lot
lell upon Squire Blunt to entertaui Rishop Co
lossus. Ihe Squire was an old-fashioned sort of
republican, who cared very little whether he ate
with a knile or a fork, so tho provender was
sumclent nd suvory, Therelore his wife greatly
feaied he would not meet the Bishop's notions
of propriety, and prevailed upon him to stay In
the kitchen while the girls displayed courtesy.
So Bishop Colossus came, aad deli vered a plea
sant lecture on the "Autnnininn." n,i wpnt
home with Mrs. Blunt. For a little while he 1
toouea uneasy, end then asked Mrs. Blunt if
there was a pipe iu the house. Directly be was
filling the parlor with smoke, and had his bODts
off. '1 he Squire, in great bewilderment, peeped
In, and Bisnop Colossus at once made him sit
dow u to hear an anecdote. In the course ot Uve
minutet Squire Blunt and Bishop Colossus were
tellina stories over rainual glasses o' brandvaud
water, and the parlor ot tue Blunts smells of
smoke to t'lis day.
Th great kssou which a course of lect ires
teaches to their deliverer, 'is the common seuso.
thrift, klnc ness, nones' . and Int'llhrent asp ra
tion o'Jthb American people. Most of our publio
men carry ranol'-rakcs. and show us that tne
fountains of society tue corrupt. There Is a
p. cat- deal of djspcpsL'i among editors, and
actors, and anthots,1 and a great deal more
cheprlulness among tho people than such can
fee. I did not find the American clergyman
fanatics and bigots; the American editors rcck
liss vituperators; the American pollticiais
dead to all honorable appeals. Tbe only
editor who preterrrd-to sneer at my year rather
than report my speerh, 1 aftrrwards found to bo
without respest In his own community, and the
man who, of all others, was an enthusiast in
letters, and who has developed lecturing in the
the West to a most disinterested and uselttl
method, was an Israelite who kept a clothing
store.
The lecture system has been denounced by
pseudo-censors, in the interests, not ot intelli
gence, but of their own little octaves; but men
must go before books, to talk of them and their
uses; and where the libraries .were lullest I
found the lectures best sustained. The lecture
is' a sanitary regula'ton in literature, bv which
authors whose world narrows by sedentary
habits are lured Into fresher spirits, thoughts,
and territoties. Three months of literary rest
is pained to the writer, who, if he be successful,
ran retire a bile upon his profits, to reappear
with graver aid better digested compositions.
The lecture system is at once an advertisement
and a reward of Uterature. A'ew 1'orA- Galaxy.
