‘f VVhat an exceedingly intrusive and
lmpertinent person !” exclaimed Mrs.
F ulham, as soon as the door had closed
upon them. " They must have known
perfectly well that there were no gen-
tlemen here.”
" Oh, mama, why should they have
come then ?” said Ellenfaud she stopped
short ; the color rising in her cheek, as
a suspicion of the true object of their
call rushed into her mind. ‘* Besides, I
thought him such a pleasant man,” she
oontintled without raising her eyes.
" I know you did, Ellen ; and that
very circumstance gives me pain. Do
not look so grave, my darling; come
here and sit by me, whilst I talk to
_vou.”
Ellen sat down on a low cushion by
her mother’s knee, as she had done from
a little child, and looked up in Mrs. Ful-
ham’s face with eyes so sweet and soft,
that the menitress stopped and kissed
her sweet brow before she proceeded.
“I do not see why you should be so
much pleased with this Sir Arthur De
Lisle, if that be his name: or I should
not ha re enld a word about it. It al-
ways grie\'es me, Ellen, to see you, as I
sometimes fear you are, disposed to take
strong likings to people at first sight. I
improve upon acquaintance.”
‘* Dear mama, how can you think so?

t’-amanly 3”
" You thought him pleasant, my Ellen
because he paid you a few idle compli-
ments, and was evidently struck with
your appearance. Ellen, you know I
have never used the policy which would
strive to conceal from you that you have
a pretty face. I only want to teach you
to rate it at its true value, and strive to
let your chief attraction lie in something
far better. As to calling him gentleman-

“ Even so, my dear; at any rate he
was not. t.alking nonsense or using im-
pertinent familiarity in a house where
he was entire stranger, I could plainly
see that he was vexed and embarrassed
silent
by the very free and easy bearing of his
companion. But we will say no more
aboutthcm; for I see a defence of Sir
Arthur rising to your lips. I only hope
they will come no more.”
“’ I hope so too, mamma," said Ellen;
but she deceived herself; she would
have felt really disappointed if they had
not called again.
Two hours indeed had scarcely elapsed
before a messenger arrived from the vis-
itants of the morning. He bro’t a note
for Mrs. Fulham, most respectfully wor-
ded, beginning with “ My dear Madam,’
and ending with “Yours most faithfully,
Arthur De Lisle ;” and accompanied by
two splendid favors of the Dacre blue,
richly ornamented with silver. They
were sent, said the note, to remind Mrs.
Fulham that she was fairly enlisted in
the Dacre interest, and that she must
wisli them good speed with all her heart.
Good Mrs. Fulham ! She was not
witlioul; a touch of human weakness af-
ter all : and she read the note aloud in a
very complacent tone of voice, after
having perused it to herself. It was
very politely turned, certainly ; and there
was no allusion to Ellen, except a
“ compts. to Miss Fulham,” by way of
postcript. She did not say she was
pleased, but she laid the note carefully
by with the favors, and wondered wheth-
er the opposition candidate had any
chance.
The nomination of the candidates
was appointed for the following day, and
of course the bustle in the town was in-
creased tenfold; but the white cottage
was as quiet as usual—_-nay, it seemed
oven quieter than usual, as the distant
sounds of noisy music and loud voices
were borne past it on the wind.
That day Sir Arthur De Lisle was
just in his element, in the centre of noise
anl excitement ; speechifying, coaxing,
cajoling, dazzling all with his brilliancy,
and confounding those whom he did not
convince with his rapid and witty elo-
quence. The heaths about H
were famous for the breeding of a remar-
kably strong and useful species of don-
keys, aud the donkey owners were mm-
er an influential body. The Frisbyites
had marked them for their own ; for one
or two elders of the tribe were known to
be liberally inclined ; but the eloquence
of Sir Arthur prevailed even in this in.
stance, and the donkey owners of H—-
went over in a body to the Dacre inter-
est. 1 do not think the image of Ellen
Fulham ever troubled the mind of De
Lisle during that eventful day; though
when its business was concluded, he
gallantly drank her health in a bumper of
Burgundy. But with Dacre it was oth-
crwse. The fair face of our heroine had
beamed on him amidst all the crowd and
confusion, like that of a guardian angel!
and her sweet voice was still lingering
about his memory, apart from and un-
mingled with the harsher sounds that
forced themselves on his outward sense.
Let no sceptic insinuate that love at first
sight is an impossible thinot. Dacre had

residences were at some distance—all
the idle boys, and almost all the women,
felt it to be their interest to keep the poll
open as long as possible. It was a holi-
day—a jubilee——a time to eat, drink, and
be merry, for every body except the qui-
et householders, and that unfortunate
candidates themselves. Therefore,v-‘hen
at the end of the ninth day, Mr. Frisby
resigned, having only three more men to
poll, and Mr. Dacre was declared duly
elected, all the interested parties afore-
-‘Said felt disappointed and annoyed, as
they surely had 9. right to be. For once
the successful," candidate did not rejoice
over the comparatively early settlement
of the contest, for his business called him
at OIICG to London, and Ellen Fulham
had to be parted with, Both he and De
Lisle had made many opportunities of
seeing her during the last week of their
stay, for perseverance effects wonders;
and Sir Arthur had made good his foot-
ing at the VVhite Cottage, and went in
and out just as he pleased,before worthy
Mrs. Fulham could devise means to pre-
vent it. Her dislike to him was fast
giving way before her powers of pleasing
She had learnt to be amused with his
brilliant conversation, and to feel disap-
pointed when his call was made at a la-
ter hour than usual. Both Dacre and
De Lisle regarded Ellen as the loveliest
creature on earth, yet their feelings
about her were as different as possible.
De Lisle never. for an, instant dreamed
of marrying the beautiful recluse. He
intended that,‘ his wife should possess
rank and tvealtli, as wellas beauty; and
Ellen had neither. He told Dacre, in-
deed, that he adored her, but that what-
ever the sacrifice might cost him,he must
resign her; and immedia_tely after this
confidential communication, he went
whistling down stairs to give some or-
der respecting their next day’s journey.
Dacre’s love for Ellen was such a man
of high and lofty feelings and unblernish
ed honor was likely to entertain for a
beautiful and innocent girl; and loving
her thus honorably, he was resolved,
could he win her, to make her hs wife,
He had secretly dreaded the superior
tact and accomplishments of De Lisle,
and it was an infinite relief to him to
find he ‘need have no serious apprehen-
sions ofa rival in his friend. Still he
was a prudent man, and before making
Ellen a regular offer; be determined to
see some friends of Mrs. Fulham, resi-
ding in London, of whose respectability
he was aware, and from them aware,
and from them ascertain if the represen-
tations she made of her situation were
correct. Should his inquiries prove sat-
isfactory, he resolved at once to learn
his fate from Ellen herself. He and De
Lisle went together to take leave of the
Fulhams, and Dacre was pained to see
that Ellen appeared surprised and hurt
atfithe unabated good spirits of Sir Ar-
thur. The faot was, he had flirted with
her, was leaving her, might never see
her again, and was already anticipating
new pleasures in London ; therefore he
showed as little emotion as he felt. She
had gathered two beautiful roses, and
gave one to De Lisle, which he received
with the most fluent expressions of grati-
tude; she offercd the other to Dacre,
and—though his thanks wereless fer-
vently expressed, she could not but see
how real was the pleasure with which
he took it from her hand. In a few
minutes, De Lisle had inadvertently
twisted his flower to pieces, but Dacre’s
was held as carefully as if it had been a
fairy treasure. VVeeks afterward the
circumstance was recalled to her mind,
and the withered rose produced in at-
testation of how dearly it had been
prized.
“This place really does seem duller
than it used to be,” said Mrs. Fulham,
one hot, drowsy afternoon about a week
or ten days after the departure of Dacre
and De Lisle; “ I am sorry now for
your sake, Ellen, that these people ever
came, for you miss them sadly, I am
sure.”
“ Oh, mama, you know we have just
the same sources, of amusement we had
before we knew them, and besides, you
have often said it is wrong to repine when
Providence withdraws a pleasure or a
blessing E” and she stopped and turned
away, for her eyes were filled with tears
and she did not wish her mother to set;
them. She was often sad now, and
wherefore '3 Was she in love’? and was
it with Sir Arthur De Lisle’! Not ex.
actly; he had not the noble qualities that
awaken that deep and undying attach-
ment of which a girl, such as Ellen Ful-
ham was then, is capable ; but he had
excited, dazzled and flatteted her, and she
learned to look forward to his coming,
with trembling eagerness, and to feel a
regret when he left her. Then there was
Dacre, whose good sense and richly sto-
red mind had inspired her with a sort of
reverence for him ; yet she was certain
she was not in love with kz'm—he was
too cold, too grave, too silent. Yet she
was sorry, very sorry to lose his society,
for he could tell her every thing she
wanted to know, and she felt a kind of
reliance on all he said, which she would
have been puzzled to describe or account
for. Now they were both gone—should
they ever meet again '1’ But who is that

Fulham of his approach, was followed

had pressed her to his heart, and saluted
her ashis own beloved Ellen.
The inhabitants of H had scarce.
ly subsided into tolerable calmness after
the election, ,when they were called up-
on to gossip and wonder over the ap-
proaching rrutrriage of their new mem-
ber. ._ ‘Amongst the young ladies, indeed,
the astonishment was boundless. VVlio
was this Ellen. Fulham‘? Nobody knew

was one young lady who had three votes

her father and brothers into bestowing
on Mr. ‘Dacre, because Sir Arthur De
Lisle had assured her that Dacre remem-
bered her as a . child, and had spoken
tvith,,d_eligh_r. of the prospect of seeing
her again. There were others similarly
situated, whotvere all astonished beyond
measure, andeach secretly holding her-
self to.be ill-used and deceived, resolved
nevertto put_ faith in a baronet again.——
Still the preparations for the wedding
went on. It was understood that the
principal part. of the bridal parapherna-
lia was to come from London, but the
orders given to the artistes of H
were so ample, that many doubted if any
tiiingrnore could possibly be required.

Deficiency” of Breadstuffs in Europe.
It really is, to us, a matter of quite as
muclt importance as the question of war
or peace between) Turky and Russia, to
attend, to the alarming deficiency of bread
stuffs in the South of Europe. In the
present condition of the provinces on the
Danube, but little corn can be exported,
even from._those districts that have escap-
ed the:_Russian troops. The mteruptions
to theregular navigation of the Danube
willkeep much corn from entering the
Black Sea, and thus cut off agreatsource
of supply for England.
Br_e_ad has risen very much in price in
Paris, in consequence of the bad condi-
ti0fl..0f the crops. We all know how ter-
rible the outbreaks in Paris have been,
by the cry, €‘Bread! Bread!" At the
command -_ of the Emperor, the public
journals of ‘Paris speak encouragingl y of
the numerous sources of supply that ex-
ist butpthey cannot conceal the anxiety
of bread in. that city, the coming winter,
or, in_,o_tlier words, a famine.
The"-king. of Naples has prohibited the
expor_tation- of breadstnffs, such is the
shortness ofthe crop in Southern Italy.
The ‘Pope has suspended such exports
for the present from his ports on the Med-
iterranean and the Adriatic.
Bread is now as dear at Paris as it
has been for thirty years, with the ex-
ception of the winter of 1847-48, and the
Paris papers, in looking to the United
States for supplies, declare that our grain
dealers will realize enormous profits this
year,:-though -not equal to those of the
year "above mentioned. Louis Napoleon
has repealed" that article of the corn law 0
1832, which lays a higher import duty on
breadstuffs imported in foreign vessels
than in those owned in France, which re.

of December next.

fluctuations of the difference between ex-
portations and importations. The table
is a very curious one, and shows, if there
be any foundation for the theory and any
truth in his statistics, that there have
been since 1815, eighteen years of scarc-
ity and eighteen of abundance, and that
the balance against France in the whole
thirty six years is 706,000,000 francs.-
According to this table, France has enter-
ed upon a period « f scarcity, beginning
with 1853, The worst period seems to
have been from 1843 to 1847, when the
excess of importations over exportations
was 52,000,000 bushels, which cost
France 515,000,000 francs.
In England, no apprehensions of any
scarcity are yet felt, for the crops of the
Island are looking well, and promise
abundance, but breadstuffs have risen in
consequence of the greater demand on the
continent. The latest news brought by
the Europa on this point is that the king
of Naples has not only prohibited the
export but has taken off the very
heavy duties that existed upon their im-
portation for the remainder of this year ;
hitherto, this duty has been almost pro.

Facts in the British and American
Iron Trade.—There is a general firm-
ness in the British Iron -markets. The
prices for common bar have advanced
from £4 5s. to £8 per ton, and the prices
for refitted have appreciated relatively.
Scotch pig and other favorite brands com-
tnand 603. sterling per ton. The pres-
ent stock of pig metal in Scotland is a-
bout 100, 000 tons less than usual this
season. The Americrn seaboard is quite
bare of Scotch pig, which is quick at $35
per ton, 6 months.
In Railroad Iron the advance is re-
markable. Rails is very firm at £9 per
ton. Although new mills may be star-
ted. yet just in proportion as they with-
draw pig metel from its usual course for
foundry purposes, they raise the price of
pig metal.
British rails cannot be laid down in our
northwestern interior at less than 880 per
ton. There is every probability that
merchant iron must rule very high.
We are told that many of the manu-
facturers in Great Britain have determ.
ined to blow out their furnaces rather
than to submit to the demands of their
workmen. A number of furnaces have
already been blown out in Wales.
Since 1850, the projections of railways
has extended into almost every country
in Europe. Late in that year when rails
were selling in Wales at the enormous
loss on the piece of £4 15s, the Emperor
of Russia ordered 140,000 tons of rails at
one purchase. France, Austria, Russia,
Central Germany, and even Spain and
Italy begin to lay rails. Norway has
just employed her first railway. Den-
mark is making a line ofnearly 500 miles
through Finland. India, Egypt and Bra-
zil have come in for their fair share.
N. Y. Express.
Mexico.
It would seem by the latest accounts
from the frontiers that the annexing and
conquering spirit of our countrymen was
again to be roused by the desire of ag-
gression. The Mesilla Valley is to be,
probably, the great object of dispute, as
the posts on the Nueces was previously
to the last war. American jurisdiction
begins already to be exercised in the val-
ley, and El Paso is claimed as belonging
to us. The intention of the leading men
at the South West is, evidently, to in-
volve us in another war with Mexico, by
making these claims which may be, at
least, considered doubtful, and thus ex-
citing the Mexicans to commence a war
Santa Anna is foolish enough or ambitious
enough to favor the same feeling, and to
force on a contest.
Towards a weak neighbor like Mexi-
co, this nation can afford, in its strength,
to be forbearinu. Doubtful questions of
territory should be construed in her favor
and we then would have the reputation
of magnanimity. We do not need her
territory, we have enough of our own.-—
A war would only end in the acquisition
of more possessions, and in the disturb-
ance which that acquisition would pro-
duce upon the question of free or slave
territory. A war would produce a new
crop of military heroes to fill all the of-
fices of the nation from President down-
wards, and still farther lead our young
men to indulge in the military enthusi-
asm which is to be hereafter the curse of
our republic. '
But we need some of this territory for
the construction of the Pacific Railway,
it is said. The Pacific Railway is a
necessary measure. It is one that must
be carried through, if we wish to pre.
serve our Pacific territory. But necessa-
ry as it is, a route can be obtained with-
out going to war with Mexico.
The government, anticipating trouble
or else desirous of creating it, have or‘
dered fifteen hundred men to the Rio
Grande frontier whence they are ordered
to move by land to the neighborhood of
the disputed boundary of New Mexico,
or as the expression is,“to the disputed
boundary of the Mesilla Valley." Santa
Anna is also concentrating an army of
ten or twelve thousand men in the Me-
silla Valley. All this looks like a delib-
erate intention on the part of our Govern-
ment to obtain possession of this trifling
little territory by force of arms, and thus
drive us into another Mexican war of
plunder, and conquest and annexation.
Santa Anna has been suspecting this
danger, and evidently preparing himself
forit. His efforts to raise an army of
ninety thousand men show it, as do his
intrigues with Spain.
Is there to be no pause in this insane
idea of increasing our territory? Are
we never to set ourselves down to culti-
the arts of peace’! Ase we never to have
a Democratic administration that will
, I_'*hI_II_._'q tgg 9,103-y in the quiet prosperity of
Nebraska.
Much dispute has existed of late,
whether the land in this territory was
open to settlers, or whether it was tied
down by the treaties for Indian reserva-
tions. Undoubtedly some sections of the
new territory are thus reserved, but a
large part, purchased from the Sioux
Pawnee and Kanaas tribes, is free from
any incumbrance and appears ready to
invite settlers. If the Missouri route for
the Pacific Railway be selected, the
lands of Nebraska will soon be in the
market.
Even the Indians reservations will not
long escape the rapacity of the settlers.-
'I‘he.-e lands will be seized and squatted
upon, and anv attempt at opposition on-
ly terminate in the extermination of the
tribes. There is no land farther west
for them to be moved to, by the encroach-
ment of the whites. The tide of civil-
ized emigration has passed beyond them,
and the Indians of the extreme west are
now being driven eastward to the moun-
tains._ In a few more years, and they
will all become extinct and their memo-
ry be lost, or held only “to point a moral
or adorn a tale.” '
It is to be hoped that our Government
will be firm in preventing any more en-
croachments on their reserved lands‘.-—
There is, as yet, soil enough for every
purpose that the white man needs, with-
out an interference with the last resting
place which has been assigned the abo-
riginal tribes. It is a duty we owe to
them, to preserve them from extinction.
We owe it as a tribute for the rich fields
we now possess, which were once the
property of their ancestors. We owe it
to the cause of justice and philanthropy.
Let it not be said of us, in future history,
and all we would bestow upon the form-
er possessors of our soil, was a grave.

The Agricultural Fair.
The preparations for this interesting
event are nearly completed, and we be-
lieve we may safely promise our readers
that no recent Fair in this County has
ever approached the point of excellence
to which this will attain. There appears
to be a general interest manifested by
citizens of all classes in this, and the
neighboring towns, and we have reason
to believe that a desire to make the pres-
ent Fair one of extraordinary merit, quite
generally pervades the whole County.-
The peculiar features of the fair, the
most prominent of which are the Eques-
trian display and the mammoth train of
oxen from Greenwich, will undoubtedly
in the absence of these features might
not be present.
It is believed that the “Barnum Pri'
zes” for the greatest skill in equestrian’
ism, will be competed for by from twen-
ty to thirty young ladies. The trial will
be of a highly interesting and exciting
character, and will call many visitors
from other States. The hour fixed by
the Committee of arrangements for the
trial is half past one o’clock P. M., on
Thursday, October 6th, the second day
of the fair. The place fixed on for the
trial is Broad street.
The great ox-train from Greenwich
will consist of about one hundred yoke
of cattle. It will enter the village on
the second day of the fair, at about ten
or eleven o’clock, A. M., preceded by
the Stamford Brass Band.
The Committee have
gaining the consent of O. S. Ferry, of
Norwalk, to deliver an address on the
occasion. Those who have been so for
gunate as to have heard the oratorical ef-
forts of Mr. Ferry, need not be told that
the is a gentleman of rare talent, and that
he will not fail of doing ample justice to
any subject to which he may turn his at-
tention.
The selection of a gentleman from our
own County to deliver the Address, evin-
ces good taste and propriety of judgment
on the part of the Committee, and we
shall doubtless hear an Oration of which
the County and State may well feel proud.
Although this is nominally an Agri-
cultural Fair, the articles on exhibition
will not be confined to the productions
of the soil. Our own citizens and prob‘
ably those of other towns, engaged in VI.
rious branches of mechanical industry.
are preparing specimens of their handi-
craft, which will add materially to the in-
terest of the exhibition.
The time intervening between this and
the Fair is now short, and we would ad‘
vise all who would intend to become ex.
hibitors, to perfect their arrangements
with all possible dispatch.—Aclvocate.

on every hand. Gentlemen who have re-
cently traveled inadjoining States inform
us that the approaching show is a leading
topic of conversation in active circles eve-
rywhere, and thatthc expression, ‘' \Vell
I'm going ;o.n.e’_r1'om Show at Spring-
field, if I nowhere else.” is a stereo-
type. A note frorn_Saratoga informs us

citizens that the occasion is going to be
one which will tutftheir hospitaltiee in an
unusual degree; one in which they

are to IIIVQWR crovvdbfguiests from abroad
for which the hotels of the place, large as
they are, cannot bo:gin"to make accom.
modation. The only way, therefore, is
for every one to bdii-‘oady, with open house
and heart, to receive all, at any rate, who
are invited’ hero guests. There will
probably be accotnodations for the major-
ity of the ‘others, gird trains will doubt-

if it shall prove ‘irtipossibte to lodge all

Temperance Meeting.
We are requested to state that the Rev. M.
Cross, will give a public address on Temper-
ance, at the Hall of the Sons of Temperance,
on this Tuesday Evening. at 7 o’clock. The
public generally are invited to attend
The Administration on the
Koszta Altair.
There are times, in the life of a nation, when
it becomes good citizens to lay aside party pre-
dilections and sustain the oovstmrs.\~r or rat
uxn. The present is eminently such an occa-
sion in this country. The administration, rep-
resenting the people, has taken a positionin re-
btion to Foreign affairs, from which the United
States can never with honor recede. What is
more, every right thinking man in the nation,
no matter what may be his political creed, is
satisfied that, upon this subject, the Administra-
tion is right. It is incumbent upon the Press,
in such an emergency, to rally around and up-
hold the government; the gauntlet has been
thrown down to Russia, Austria, and Prussia.-—
It is no light or trifling matter. The resftlts
cannot be confidently ‘anticipated, but come
what may, but one duty is leftto every true
American, and that duty we are prepared to
discharge to the best of" our intellectual and, if
need be, of our physical ability.
33- It is proposed by Mr. Ilurd, the Super-
intendent of the Naugatuck Road, to run an
excursion train, in October, to enable the peo-
ple of the Naugatuck Valley to see the Crystal

Faun nmcrox: Summer, with all its chants, will
soon be numbered among the “ things that were."-
Cbaagc after change, mm to be anorder of nature;
and, these changes were destined by “ natures’ God," to
perfonnthelr “ ' sion.” They are not without their
purpose. And, as such is -the order of nature, we, of
course, are governed by those changes in a measure, as
regards our occupation, means of pleasure and pastime.
All have, more or less, profited by the “ inspired lessons ”
that nature has presented to us, this (last) summer, and
an It (summer) has retired, to he succeeded by winter,
we may expect to have a limited display of “natur-ea’
wonders,” from “Frostland,” to excite our love of “ na-
ture and of natures’ God.’’' But this will not names.-
“Natu.res’ God-" designed that we should get up some
“ shows upon~our on book,” to increase a love of na-
ture and cultlvavo our religious and Intellectual bcultlu.
This may be done individually or collectively. The but
and most proper way to do this In, that all should do
what they can individually, with thin end. In view, and
then at stated than operate eolloetluoly. This may bi‘
done, Idvantageoully to all by forming Lyceutns, having
weekly discussions and by having lectures dol.lvo'rod up-
on literary and scientific subjects. I an: sure that you
or your readers would not doubt the utility of such an
association. And why in it that we cannot form one in
Norwalk? I see no reason why we should not. The on-
[y thing wanting in energy. We have qulto an array of
young ‘‘ gt-niu.s's," if we can only bring then into prac-
tical operation ; and, could we do no, I am sure that the
Ladies would always be present to greet us with their
smiles, as we should proceed in such noble undertaking‘
As I learn that there are some that think seriously of
making a movement with this object in vlotv, I will, with
your permiusion, give some of my views, through the
columns of your paper, as regards the manner of organi-
zation, proceedure &c.
It is necessary, in the int. place, that a Constitution,
By-Laws or rules of order be formed, by which to regu-
late the operations of the society. Then it will be neces'
any to choose oficers. APresldent, two Vice Presidents,
a Secretary and Treasurer, will be all that will boneeded,
who should hold their respective offices for a limited
time. The Chairman should have power to appoint, or
the society to elect an I-Iuayfat. from among their num-
ber, each week, whore duty it should be, to read an Es-
say of his ovrn produqtlon, upon literary or scientific sub-
jects, before the society. After a questlonldtas been cho-
"en for discussion, and no person: shou volunteer to
act as leading disputants, they should be appointed in a
similar manner. When 3 quention is to be discussed,
and the leading dilputants have been chosen, the remain-
ing members should have the privilege to speak on the
side of it question that their conscience would dictate,
(not to speak upon the side they are chosen, by the lead‘
* ing dlsputants, Is they do in some Lyceums,) which is
the surest way to arrive at a just conclusion of the mer-
its of the argument upon either side. TRFI’B'IhouId be
the only point held to view in such matters. It is the
only way to make a discussion truly beneficial to the par-
ticipants. Disculsing a :1 ‘ion for more discussion and
opposition does not amount to much. In such discus-
sions, if we strive to inform each other, having truth for
a “ guiding star,” they will truly benefit us, and than
we may, in a menu re, prove a blessing to mankind.
There in another object, and a very prominent one,
that should not be overlooked. And that in, by forming
such an asnociation, we may be enabled to procure tal-
ent men to deliver us a series of leetursn. There would
be highly beneficial to the community, as well an inter-
esting. It is easy to obtain lecturers that would draw
crowded houses of hearers. There is Horace Greeley.
Henry Ward Beecher, E. H. Chopin, Mr. Pierpont, and
many sthen, too numerous to mention, can be
easily induced to “ bold forth ” for our enlightenment.-
Beuides those referred to, there is quite an array or‘ tel‘
out in our on County that would, undoubtedly, oblige
and interest us. It is a practice, in Western New York,
among the Lyceuml, to procure the services of gentle-
men from a distance, as often as is practicable, and at
intervals procure the services of neighboring clot-gymen.
This is a good practice, I think, and it will be well for us
to try it, as by those means we might. be enabled to have
a lecture every week or so. In order to raise funds to
carry out such an uudortaklngtit would be well when
the society is organized, to establish is certain sum, to be
paid by each member, as an initiation loo. And when
we procure the urvicu of eminent men from a distance,
as lecturers, funds can be raised to defray such expenses
by exacting a small nun, any one shilling, as an admit-
taliee into the lecture room. By adopting such a course
the expenses would be comparatively little, while the
amount of good that would be done to elevate society»
would be great. And, I am can that there In no one in
our community, that wishes for the welfare of society,
who would not be vn1ll.ag to metal: such an institution
in this way. -.
A good Lyceum, conducted in web a. manner would do
good in many vraya. It would cultivate the intellectual,
orator-ical and business faculties of its participants, and
at them for the common some business operations of
practical life; while, it would prove a place of entertain-
ment to thou who would took it somewhere else, that is,
if we had no such institution. And we should not for-
get the wholesome influence of the lecture room. It is
a place where all neck and parties meet in common to
onjoy an intellectual repeat, and has an lufltence to pro-
duco brotherly feeling among the mouse more than any-
thing else fitltat we can think of, union it be the influ-
enee of the Fun.
It is now tune that we commence spouting, ‘nu; eye-
and make it interesting.
