citizens of our town for eh:110 carry. on its

so heavily upon our funds that, notwith
standing the liberal support given us in
November, oar Treasury is exhausted,
the unusual number of cases of sickness
have demanded our attention, the extreme
cold weather has,made our coal bills high,
provisions and . clothing, though prudent
ly 'dealt out, !have rapidly used up our
money, and in ordeeto prosecute our
work we must have help. Oui appeals

STOUT HEARTS
.. . . _,
,On 'Blued - ay evening, March 48th, the
foiirth lecture in the Institute course was
delivered by Dr. E. D. -Payne. The Ora-.
tory was filled, and the , closest attention
was given by all throtighout the hour oc
cupied by the lecturer. After a solo by
Mr. W. S. Mace, relating to " Knights of
Old," the lecturer "
begaii. The subject
/
choSen was Stout Hearts. " This topic
..
is to be -considered., said the - speaker,
mainly with reference to the younger por
tion of the audience. They soon come to
recognize their position in life as moral
and responsible beings.. Feti people reach
maturity without having also fixed upon
some real object tor life's endeavors.. Our
ideas run in different channels, and thus
result in a variety of ends desired. there
are distinct peneidri of study. In early
years our reading is_contiAeri to -what. hi_
generally entertaining, as nd'vels, poetry
and history. After attaining thirty years, '
we turn to philosophical works, as meta-
physics and critical essays; After the
fortieth year few men ,outside of the pro
fessions do much general reading. Many
still follow their favorite authors, but will
make no experiments in literature. -Teoz
plehtigin work before the age of forty
years, yet not, as a rule; steady work. To
be sure there are exceptions. Edison,
ten yearii ago a tramp, now at thirty-four
stands in the front rank of successful sci
entists. - At the same age, Bonaparte was
the greatest general in Europe, and Sou
they had establisbed an undying reputa
tion. Teo years younger still, Pitt be
_came premier of England. Then there are
prodigies, outside of and in a manner
above geniuses. But these are unrelia
ble. Their ever hide a tendency to insan
ity, which too often bursts the outer bril
liant covering to leave for all the future
only -wasted and ruined energies. Genius
is always true to itself. - Practical talent
is true to itself, sure'to do its work in the
given time.- All or us are not destined to
be literary men and women. There are
different pursuits, , and circumstances
have much to de , in directing our choice.
In some instances genius is unappreciated
and motives are misconstrued. Penner
friends desert us. With others the expe
rience is reversed. In eh er condition a
stout heart is heeded. Sot. ,one may ask
what is meant' by a stow. heart. Accu
rately speaking, it is al organ in the
chest with which axe emenictedhnd upon
which depend all the ott et' members of
the body. The man Iv- th a physically
stout heart outstrips all hhers. - Without
doubt there are exceptions. Alexander H.
Stephens, Vice,Prestdent - of - the-late Con
federacy, was always an invalid. ' ; John
J. Walker and John Randolph,' once a
controlling power in our government,
were physicalit weak. Senator Midione,
now so prominent, never; weighed .100
pounds. Oliver P. Morton - was for many
years a paralytic. -Alarming, 'the !great
Unitarian divine, was of delicate health.
Rufus Choate, some time . before his
death, said that be bad extunnited his con
stitution and was then living on the by-
laws. Suwaroff, the Russian command.

hearts manifested. 'They are shown la

the poor student, unaided when the clock

'shriek ladies. The anecdote of Lord
Leicester and *men :Elizabeth -is a case
in point. . Upon a window pane he traced ,
the words, ".Fain would I climb but that.
I fear to fall." Some time afterbe found
this answer, written below, _
" If . thou
dost fear. climb not at all." Stout moral
hearts are also needed. We have ex
amples in Pope Pius VII before Napoleon,
Richelieu; Richard, the Lion-Hearted,
and the Maid of Orleans. The cembina
tion of physical and moral strength gives
grand results._ Charles XII, of Sweden,
- Napoleon, °rant and John. Knox_imited
these, qualities in greater - or less degree.
But wears not confined to "blood and
iron," to the fields of law and theology,
in our -search for such characters. We
have Robert Fulton, John Stephenson and
Joseph Henry, re few names from many.
Their claim to greatness is enduring.
Qreat men are often held in slight estima
tion by their contemporaries. John B.
Gougli tells how, when the first engine
was placed upon the track, a member of
the British Parliament said the railroad
might do for amusement but that it could
never compete practically with the canal.
The Jersey 'longshoreman, on Viewing a
`steamer .was of the opinion thathis sloop,
in poineof, speed and safety, was far su
perior. Stout hearts are required in all
'the walks .of life. - The most of us must
Work for what we gain. The workers
have most real enjoyment. Time and
hardiabor are necessary for success in
any businais. Seven years must pass be
fore tlie chemist works remuneratively.
For IWO, - years the minister, lawyer and
physician are comparatively unsuccessful.
Middle life is reached before much reward
is obtained. Stout hearts help to curb
impatie&e. Remember the fable of the
hare and the tortoise. The whole field is
sprCad before us. The world is our oyster
and the enjoyment of our meal depends
much upon the mode of opening it. Now
.thei-e is a groat rush to the learned pro
fessions. Lofty examples of.professional
success, are ever beckoning. IFailure is
unknown. Young men imagine them
selves orators and statesmen in embryo.
ou must find out the field for which you
are best fitted. If genius has designed
you to be a Webster, she will call you
from obscurity. Holmes says that good
thought and scholarship ail) three -re
niferes from the soil. This is simply his
opinion, and carries with it no irrefutable
,element - of proof. We must return to the
1. Study political economy arid find in
what consists the true wealth of nations.
The land. must be the ruling interest.
The weak ones, the "fools of toe family,"
should not, be chosen , for profeasichial ca
reers. Great labor' is here reqUired.
Men of great culture are to bnmet and
the novice must'be competent. It Is, gen
erally recognized - that, even in: the pro
fessions, one must - pc — trine 'a spe_cialty.
This is so in literature, arts and sciences.
New subjectsfor study are constantly ap-
Dearing. Here a little learning is a dan
gerous thing. Theologians hold to the
book ;,scientists, tornature. All are work
ing from different standtiointa and thus
are apt to produCe conliiiion. If our
selves able to judge, we must not accept
the.dictum of others. Presumption is al
ways in favor of a long established opin
ion. Credulity and incredulity are both
ebjectionahl%' Scientific men move slow
ly?, stick to ce4airr lines of thought and are
incredulous. Incredulity is the necessary
foreriumer of credulity. If we were told
that apples and grapes grew together on a
certain tree,. wo would be incredulous and
would require 'the strongest evidence to
overcome the contrary presumptiOn.l
When told that thought is burnt phospho-'
rug, we may regit ni - 1 -- the proof. - drat - the
burning of phosphorus is necessary to •
thought. Thought may. be defined as
"an effort of thnmind." This definition
was formerly given to mind, "The soul of
man educated to the purposes of life."

HON. LYMAN TRUMAN.
-The Him. LYMAN _TRUMAN died at his
'residence in Owego, an Thiusday . morn
ing of last week in his 6th year. Mr.
TnustAx was for many years the leading
and most successful business man of Owe
go, acquiring a large property. In 18. y;
he was elected State Senator of the dis
trict composed of the counties of Broome,
Tompkins and Tioga. This district he
ably and satisfactorily represented, three
tarms—siz „years. In 1840' he rep
. resented his county in the Assembly; and
there, as in the Senate, stood among the
most influential representatives. For the
- past few years a nervous ditiOrder, the re
sult of severe mental labor, 'gradually and
finally 'seriously affected him, meptally
and intellectually. He gradually with.
drew from active employment, leaving
his vast and varied' accumulations in
charge of others. The Owego Times saga
of him ; "A great man has passed away
—one who has left his impress for good.
on his native county and State. When
the village of Owego was destroyed in
1849, Mr.:lmmo' gave form and infased
energy into the citizens,, so that buildiUg
was commenced, and the Ahwaga -House
and the brick stores en Front street soon
ruse out cif the general ruins. Though
partially withdrawn for some years from
active life, his death will. leave I void not
easily filled. He leaves a wife, three
daughters, and many brothers and sister's
and their families and friends to mourn
hisloss."

Then the time was taken up with patriot

trickle down the hardy cheek. The
speeches by Comrades James Forbes, C,
Stewart, A. Babcock and -B. G. Wilmot;
were sympathetic and full of :soldierly
