DINNER SPEAKtm
A LETTER TO MY NEPHEW. j
'• %' v " 1 v 'j'~J \ ' • J
So you did not enjoy your first Phi Beta,
dinner, dear Tom, because youere pfraid all
Uie time that the now ufembers would bo
toasted, and then “ the fellows” had said you
must reply for them. ■ That is a pity. > As,after
all, the fellows were not toasted, it is a great
pity. T am. glad you write to me' about it,
however, and now it is for me to take care that
thlacneverhappens to, you again.
I will'fell you how to be always ready. I
will tell you how I do.
. - My, first, Bin Beta dimier was, like yours, my
first public diniier. It was on the . flay, which
this everybody remembered who
enough, wiieu Mr. Emerson delivered liisnrsfc
Phi Beta oration at Cambridge. How proudly
he has the right to look back on the generation
between, aU of which lie has seen, so much of
which be has been! Well, be is no older this
day, to all appearance, tlian he was then, —and,
your uncle, my. dear boy, though older,, to ap
pearance, is. not Older in reality'. What- is it
dear G— Q sings, who sat behind'me
that early day at Phi Beta?
“ when we’ve been there ten million years,
Bright shining as the Bun,
Wc’H hqKc.more days ;. •
To sing Gdd’B praise,
Than wheh we'first begiin!”
"Remember .that, my desm ‘oldest nephew,-as
the ten million! years go remembering
itj keep young or grow young.
Mr- Emerson was young, I say,—and I. We
were all young.
jMjwEdwrard. Everett was young. He was
then -Govemor,—and, I / think, presided,
certainly spoke, at that Phi Beta dinner;
By the almanac lie must have been that year
forty-five years'old,—just as old, dear Tom, as
some other people are this year by the alma
nac.'' He had beenprettymuckeverything,
had'gone most everywhere, liad seen rtlmostal 1
the people that were worth seeing, ind remem-.
bered more than all the rest of us had forgot
ten.’, ‘..And lie was very young. To . those who
knew him he always was. The day he died he.
was about the youngest man m most things
that,! knew. . ■
. And so it happened that he made , the first
dinner speech that I remember. We were all
In the South Commons Hall of University,
now'used as somebody’s lecture-room, say ;at a
guess, Professor Lovering’s. And he gave, some
charming reminiscences of Edward Emerson,
brother: of the philosopher, too early lost,
add everywhere loved, —and ' then, 'speak
ing:; of the oration of the .day, and
of tlie new philosophy to which it.
belonged, and of which the orator was, is, and
will be tlie prophet, he said, in his gracious,
funny, courtly, and hearty way, that lie always
thought of its thunders as he did of the bolts of
Jupiter himself! Could one have compli
mented an orator more than to compare him
to Jupiter? And then he went on to verify the
comparison by quoting tlie descriptidn,—
“Tres imhris torti radios, tres nubis aquosse
Addiderant;- rutili—tres ignis, et; alitis
Austri,”—
and translated tlie words for Ills purpose,—
“ Three parts were raging fire, and three were
whelming waves,!
But three were thirsty cloud, and three were
empty wind!”
Ah well, my boy! You do not remember
what- all the world, except a few of the elect,
then said of “Transcendentalism.” So you
cannot imagine the scream of fun and applause
which saluted this good-natured analysis of its’
thunder.
And I, —I : was delighted at this aptness of
quotation. Should 1 ever bring my capping
lines to such a market? Here was a hit* as
good'as the famous parliamentary retorts,which
werd sA precious to us in the I. O. H. and in
the Harvard Union. Should I ever live to see
the happy day when ! should find that it was
wisCj'witty, and 1 just the thing to say,’
“Tu quoquo litoribus nostris, yEneia nutrix” ?
or,
“Tityre dum redeo, brevis est via, pasce ca
!pcllhs;’’ ,
or any other of the T’s ? Or, •
ViEsopiis auctor' quam materiam repent,”
or, '
“JE acus iiigemuit, tristique ita vofe loeiitus,”
or any other of the iE, dipthongs?, It did not
seem possible, but we would see.
How it happened that, in the vacation follow
ing, a French steamer, I- think the Geryon,
came to Boston. And there, was, perhaps, a
civic dinner, certainly an exeui-sion : down the
harbor, to persuade lier oflicers, and through
them, Louis Philippe, lor this was In the early
age'of stone, that Boston Harbor was the best
point—for the projected -line—of—French
packets to stop at, —aiul : ... some
body invited me to go. And it turned
out that few of the Frenchmen spoke English,
and Jew of the Common Councilmcn spoke
French, so that poor little 1 (mine to some mis
erable use as a, half-interpreter. I remember
telling a Lieutenant de Yaisseau that the ‘‘Cen
turion” was called so because the 74 Centurion
was lost there; and that an indignant civic
authority, guessing out my speech, told me
they did not want the Frenchmen to know
anything was ever lost in Boston. Harbor!
Perhaps that was the reason the French packets -
never came. Well, by and by there was the
inevitable collation in the cabin. (A collation,
dear boy, is a dinner where you have nothing
to eat.) : And we went down stabs to collate.
I began to think of the speeches. Suppose
they should call on the youngest of the iuter
preters, what could he say? What
Latin quotation that would answer ?
Hot Tityrus, certainly! Ho. Nor
nurse certainly, for she went overboard, —bad
luck to her !—or was she buried decently ?
Bad; omen that! But—yes! ‘ certainly—-what
better than the thunderbolts of Jove? Steam
navigation forever, —Robert Fulton, Marquis
of Worcester,'madman in the French bedlam,
-—bolts of heaven seem ed for service of earth,
—Franklin,—the great alliance,—steam navi
gation uniting the world! Was not the whole
prefigured, messieurs, qmttul le (/mud /mite
forged the very thunderbolts of the Dieu des
Cicux ?
"Tr.es imbris torti radios, tres nubis aquos:e
'. Addiderant, rutili tres ignis, et alitis Austri.”
What better description of the power which
at that moment was driving us along,—
“Three rays of writhen rain, of fire three
; more,
Of winged southern winds, and cloudy store,
AS many parts the dreadful mixture frame”?
Could anything have been more happy? And
fortunately no member of Phi Bern was pre
sent bat myself.' But Unfortunately there was
no speaking, and for the moment I lost my op
portunity. ' '
But not ; my preparation, dear Tom. And
for this purpose have I written this long story
to show you how, id thirty (happy years, since,
when:! have had nothing else to say,- “Tres
imbris torti ’ radios” ljas mrydys stood me in
stead. One good quotation -makes !an after
dinner speaker the match' of the .whole world.
And,if you have it in Latin, the who
understand that’ language enjoy it, especially,
and tliose who <lo not’al ways appear - to ienjoy
it more especially. IV.rhaps they do. There i

‘Three parts of white the crested. billows lent,
Three parts of blue tlie heavens themselves

Three parts of fiery red with these were blent.
And on the fiee-born wind across the world
they went?” .
You are not old enough, my dear nephew,
to remember the great consistory which the
Pope li«d at f Somerville, when for ’. a mo
ment lie thought that the churches of the
.world had recognized that union which in
fact does make! them one, and were willing
to offer one front to the Devil, instead of fight
ing, as they always liad done, on ten thousand
hooks of their own. You understand, it was
not this Pope, Pius IX.' It was the pope who
came after Gregory XVI. and before Pius IX..
Well, at. that immense dinner-table, which had
been built on the plan of John O’Groat’s, so,
that each of the eleven thousand six hundred
and thirty folks present might sit: at the head,—
I was fortunate enough to be appointed to
represent the Sandemanian clergy,v-the only
body, as I will venture to say to you, which
really preserves the simplicity of Gospel insti
tutions, or in the least carries into our own
time, the spirit and life of fundamental Chris
tianity. Now you may. imagine, the difficulty
of speaking on such an occasion. 1 Iliad thought
it proper to speak in Latin.. The difficulty was
not so much in the. language as in wliat .to say,
that one might be at once ; brave us a ; Sande
manian, and at tlie same tirpe tolerant, and
catholic as aChristiaii. Now it is not for iiie to
say how well I acquitted: myself. If you want
o see my speech, you had better look in the .
Amide* de Foi ; and, if it is there, you will
certainly finditr-Idid-notthinkrikaiqissvcer---
lainly, that I was able to close by. comparing
the great agencies which the United Church
would he able to employ to the thunderbolt
itself. We laid there present bishops from
England of perpetual rain., from Sitka-of
perpetual cloud, from the eternal fires of
the torrid zone, and from the farthest
south of Patagonia. When we selected
our sacred twelve, it was easy for its to take
them, as if we were forging thunders.
“Tres imhris torti radios, tres nubis aquos®
Addiderant, rutdli tres ignis et alitis Austri.”
Now, my dear Tom, I am sure my lesson
needs no moral. Of course Ido Jiot think that
you had better start in life with my quotation.
To tell you the truth, lam still young. I am
a life-member of many societies, and, as they,
outlive other usefulness, the more frequently
do they dine together. I may therefore have
some other occasion when 1 may be reminded
outlie Cyclops,. But if, at your dinner, I
had happened' to be called upon, I think
—I do not know, but I think that,
seeing such men as you describe, I should
have been irresistibly led to consider the varied
gifts which tlie University every year scatters
over the land, .and tlie exquisite harinony by
which, from such different callings, different
homes, and different destinies, they unite hi the
merriment or in tlie wisdoid of her ; festivities.
The men of practice wlio have been taming
'the waterfall, and made it subservient; the
men of the gentle ministries of peace,' whose
blessings distil upon: Uslike the'very deWs of
heaven ; amt the men of the spoken word, —
of the spirit of truth, of which, like the, wind
itself, no man knowetli whence it cometh or
whither it goeth,—these, pud, the men
of war who have" passed through its
fires to give us the free ’ America
of to-day, all were around., you.
Surely hi sucli a imioh I'shoitld have been* re
minded of tlie divine harmony, by. which
elements tlie most diverse were welded into the
bolts of Jove. ; ..
“Tres imhris torti -radios, tres nubis acquosns
Addiderant, rutili tres ignis, et alitis Austri.”,
“ Three-parte like dews from heaven, three
: from the wave-beat shore, -
Three from the soft-winged breeze, and three
from blood-red war.” 1
Always, dear Tom, your affectionate uncle,.

There arepeoplo who rife never ,wliat North
ern housewives call “ straight’’—people who
seem to have been born in a scramble, who

embody their real intentions,, now. : Eiriphati
caliy the Unready, they are never prepared for
anything, whether: expected or imexpected;
they make no plans more stable than good in
tentions ; and they neither calculate nor fore
see. .Everything with them is hurry arid con
fusion, not because tliey havfe; ihbfe to do’ than
other people, but because they do it more loosely
and less methodically—because they have
hot .'-learnt . the art :of i dovetailing or
the mystery of packing; Consequently half
their pleasures and’more than half their
duties slip through their lingers for want of the
knack of compact-holding; and their lives are
passed in trying to pick up what',tliey have let
drop,'and in frantic etideayprs 1 to remedy their
mistakes. For scramblers are always making
•mistakes,’and going through-an endless round
of forgetting. For one,-thing, they never re
inember their engagements, but’ accept in the
blandest arid way,imaginable, two or
more invitations for the same day and hour,
and assrire you ; quite seridUsljr 'Wheh; taught
by push:therii hardand probe

whatever on. hand, and are certain; not to fail
you. In an / evil hour you trust to them.
When the day cymes they suddenly wake to
the fact that they had accepted Mrs. So-and-
So’s invitation before yours?; and all you| get
for your empty place, and your careful ar
rangements ruthlessly upset; is a hurried note
of apology which comes perhaps in the middle
Of dinner, perhaps some time next day,
when too late to be of ;use. If they for
get their own engagements they also ignore
yours, no matter how distinctly you may have
tabulated them; and are sure; to some rattling
to' your bouse on tlie day when you said em
phatically you were engaged and could not see
them, if you keep to your programme and re
fuse to admit them, more likely than not you
affront them. Engagements being in theireyes
movable feasts, which-it .does not in the least
degree signify whether they keep on the date
set down or not, they cannot understand your
rigidity" of purpose; and were it not .that as a
tribe they are good-natured, and too fluid to
hold-even'annoyance for any length of time,
you would m ail probability have a quarrel
fastened on you because your scrambling
friends chose to make a calendar for themselves,
and to insist on your setting your diary by it.
And as they ignore your appointed hours,/ so
do they forget your .street, and number.
They ahyays stick to. yo'ur first card,, though
_ you may have moved many times since it was
printed, duly apprising them of each change as
it occurred. That does not help you, for they
never note the Changes of their friends’ ad
dresses, but keep loyally to the first. It all
conies to the" same in the end, they say, arid
the postman is cleverer, than they. But they
do not often troiiljlc Wends with letters
on their own account;/ and they have a special-,
ity for not answering such as are written to
them, and, when tliey do answer them, ,of not
replying to the questions asked or giving the
news' demanded. 1 They do not even reply to'
irivitations likerother people, but leave you to

The households ;where my lady has nothing to
do but jet her riiaid keep her to the hours she
herself lias appointed 1 are just as uncomfortable
in tlieirway as poorer establishments,ifmy lady is
a scrambler, and cannot be taught method and/
the value of bolding on by the forelock. Some
times my lady goes herself into such an inextri
cable coil of promises and engagements, all
crossing eacli other, that in despair she takes to
her bed and gives herself out as ill, and so cuts
what she cannot untie. People wonder at her
\ sudden indisposition, looking as she did. only
yesterday in the very bloom of health; and
they wonder at her radiant reappearance with
out a trace of even languor upon her ; they do
not know that her retirement was simply a
version of the famous rope trick,and that,like the
Brothers Daveripoi-f; she went into the dark to
shake herself free of the cords with wliich she
had suffered herself to bo bound. It is a
short and easy method certainly, but it
has rather too much of tlie echo of “Wolf”
in’ it to bear frequent repetitions.
In houses of a lower grade, where tlie lady is
lier own housekeeper, the habit of scrambling
of course leads to far greater and more mani
fest' confusion. , The .servants catch from the
mistress the trick? of overstaying time, and
punctuality at last comes to mean an elastic
margin; where fixed duties and their appointed

time,' and dawdle at their pleasure; thus adding 1
to, the-pressure, which always comes at the end

is thrown into a chaotic mass, and
nothing comes out straight or

Scramblers can never learn the value of
money, either for themselves or for others.
They are famous for borrowing small sums
which they forget to retiinlbut, to dd them
justice, they are just as willing to lend what
they never dream of asking for again.; Long
ago they caught.hold of. the fact that money is
only 1 a; .circulating ' medium, t and they. have
added an extra .speed ito the circulation at ;
which slower folks stand aghast. To. be sure,
'he practical results of their -theory are
not’very satisfactoryadd the tonfusibn-'be
weeri possessive prohouris Which distinguishes'
ilieir financial catechism is. apt tb ‘lead to un
-1 leasantissues. Scrambling .women are es
pecially notorious for • the way hi which they
et themselves afloat without sufficient means
o carry them on; finding themselves stranded;
n mid-qareerbecause they have made no cal
culations, arid have forgotten the rale of sub
! raction. They find themselves at a small Italian
:own, say, where the virtues of the British
banking system are unknown, and ; where their
letters of credit and circular notes are not
worth more than ilie value of the paper they
are written oiri ; More than one British, matron
of respectable condition and weak arithmetic
has found: herself in such a plight; as this, with
her black-eved landlord perfectly civil and wellr
bred;; but as firm as a rock in his resolution that
tlie Signora shall riot depart out of his custody
till his little account is paid—a plight out of
which she has to scramble the best way she
can, With the loss perhaps of a little dignity
and of riiore repute, at least in the locality
where her solid sctidi gave outand her precious
paper could not he cashed. This is the same
woman who offers ari omnibus conductor a
sovereign for a threepenny fare; who gives
the village grocer/ a; ten-pound note for
a ■ shilling’s-worth of sugar; and who,
when she comes up to London for a day’s shop
ping, and has got her last parcel made up and
ready to put into her cab, finds she has not left
herself half enough money to pay for it—with a
shopman whose faith in human nature is by no
means lively, and who only last week was bit
ten by a lady swindler of undeniable manners
and appearance, and not very unlike herself.
She bas been known, too, to go into a confec
tioners, and, after having made an excellent
luncheon, find to her dismay that she lias left
her purse in the pocket of/her other dress at
home, and that she has not sixpence about her.
InfactJthere is notan equivocal position in which
forgetfulness, Want of method, want of fore
sight, and all the other characteristics
which make up scrambling in the con
crete, can place her, in which she
bas not been at some time or other. But no
experience teaches her the scrambler she was
bom the scrambler she Will die, and to tlie last
will tumble through her life, all her ends flying,
arid deprecating excuses oil her lips. .
. Scramblers are notoriously great in making
promises, and as notorious for not performing
what they promise. Kindhearted as they are
in general, and willing to do their friends a
service—going but of their way indeed to prof
fer kindness quite beyond yoflr expectations
and the range of their duties towards you, and
always undertaking works of supererogation,
which in fact lead to more than half their
normal scramble—they forget the next
hour the promise on which you have
based your dearest hopes. Or, if they
do not forget it, they find it is crowded out of
time by a multitude of engagements and prior
, promises, of all of which they , were iunoceutly
oblivious when they ottered to do your busi
; ness so frankly, and swore so confidently they
Z would set about it now; at once, and get it out
of hand without delay. The oath and~ the
offer which yoii took to be as sure as the best
’ chain cable, you will find on trial to be only a
_ rope of sand that could not bind so much as a
hunch of tow together, still less hold the anchor
/ of a life; and many a heart, sick with hope de
ferred, and With the disappointment which
: might have been so easily prevented, lias been
: half broken before now from the anguish that
has followed on tlie failure of the kind-hearted
scrambler to perfoim the promise ; voluntarily
/ made, and tlie service '.freely.'offered and
. earnestly pressed on a reluctant acceptor. This
; is the tragic side of the scrambler’s career, the
shadow thrown by almost eveiy one of the
class. For all the minor delinquencies of hurry
and uupunctuality in social afiairs it is not dif
ficult to find full and ample forgiveness; but
when it comes to untrastworthiness in graver
matters, then the scrambler becomes a scourge
instead of only an incorivenience. The only
safe way of dealing with the class is to take
them when we can get hold of them, and to
\ accept them for what they are worth; but not
A to rely on them,and not to atteiript any mortis
ing of one’s own affairs.with' their promises.
They are the froth and foam of society, pretty
and pleasant enough in tlie sunlight as they
splash and splutter about the rocks, but they
are not the deep waters which bear tlie burden
of our ships, and by which the life of tlie world
is maintained,: “ ‘
True Names of Prominent Frenchmen.
French journalists and artists are seldom con
tent with the names which Heaven has allotted
them. The Frenchman is aiixlous, above all,
that the name which be signs, to an article, or
which appears as his on a play-hill, Shall have a
striking, uncommon appearance which may
separate its owner from the , vulgar. For this
reason a great many writers' and actors on the
other side of the Channeladopt pseudonyms
whi Jh cling to them through life,, and ,by which
they continue to be known even after death. !
A Parisian has just taken the trouble to write a
hook on the subject of this mania, and to un
mapk all liis'pseudonymous contemporaries for
the edification pf the public. We are told in
this wdrlc " that ' the name , of Sldm'e..George
Sand is Dudevant; of M. de Persigny, Fialiu;
of Arsene HojisSaye, Housset; of 31. Grauier,
de Cassagnac simply Gramer (the “deCassag
nac” was tacked • on when 31.
Granier became an • official candi
date); of Eugene de Alirecourt' the * biographer, 1
Gigot (there Is some; excuse diere); of Alicliel
31asson, author of tlie “Contes de I’Atelier,”
Gaudiclipt; of Belval, the singer, Gaflfot
(these two are excusable again—ho Frenchman
with such a name as': Gaudichot or Gafifot
could make his Way in France) ; of Mdme.
Carvalho, Caryaillie; of Marie- Cabel,;', of the
Opera Gomique, Cabu; of Father : Hyacintlie,'
Loyson (Loyson means ‘.(the gosling’?); and of
the, well-known restaurateur Peters, Fraise,-
.- e. strawberry, which name appeara more , ap
propriate, than the. pseudonym. ,It is ram that
a Frenchman, being possessed of an authentic
title; conceals it out of modesty; nevertheless,
this happens in the case of Cham and Gill, the
two caricaturists, the first of whom is Viscount
the second .CouitteJ-Ouines, and

lie would bring no, pressure to bear, and de

B'tlie Anti-Bent Trouble in New York. ;
Ai.many, July 27.—Later advices from the
scene of the Anti-rent troubles in East Green
bush, Rensselaer, county, yesterday, give ad
ditional particulars of the affair. The property
about to be levied upon belongs to William
Whitbeck, and not to 3lr. Demiison. As the
Sheriffs posse advanced up the road, they'en
countered 'skirmishers from the enemy, who
were on the look-out. The skirmishers re
treated as the posse advanced. Finally tlie;
Sheriff'reached tiie, premises. WillianuiWhii
beck' Was in front,, while the , others ..were!
standing 'apparently . unconcerned,,
spectatois. Some of them were whit- 3
tling. : Sheriff Grlgg , approached Wil-r
liam Wliitbeek and ■ demanded : possession,
of.the farm under a process which' he i held.
WRitbeck: drew a revolver and declared that
he would relinquish his hold upon the property
only with ills life! Just then a rupture between ,
one of Wbitheck’s sons and one ofDie Sheriff's
posse occurred. Blows were struck, and in a
minute a general fight was in progress. Pis
tols, stones and clubs were freely used, flic
anti-renters being prepared,fought witk.advan
tage. Tlie attack was so sudden and unex
pected that the sheriff ’s posse were taken aback,
Tha result of the engagement was that tho
5. k
sheriff’a.paity. were’Mvetxfrbm the. ground in
consternation and dismay, and the anti
renters ‘ left mastenTonthe situation. Tiie
fight lasted onreaba&L ten jtamuteftyet it was
a regular 4»ai®& to hand eKcOimrer, and was
dcspcratetyTontestcd. In the mele'e sir {Jersons
