In the proces- sion were the carriages of England’s Queen and the Prince of Wales 3 as they passed through Broad Sanctuary and Victoria Streets, they were met by a multitude of people consisting chiefly of working men’s wives and other poor women, who seemed deeply impressed with the feeling of the occasion. The interior of the Abbey was crowded in every part with a silent and sympathiziug , congregation, most of whom wore mournâ€" ‘ ing apparel, “Never,” says Newman Hall, “ did the old arches of Westminster look down on a spectacle more touchingly eloquent, more sublime in its simplicity, more solemnly impressive,” than on the occasion to which we refer. What a sermon did that ancient cathedral preach to the assembled thousands who waited in sorrowful silence all that was mortal of a man. All the centuries .of' Eng- land’s grand old history was looking down on them. Spirits of Saxons and Normans, of steel~clad kings and feudal chiefs, of sturdy barons and mitrcd pre- lates, of mailed crusades and shaven monks, of cavaliers and roundheads, of statesmen and jurists, of poets and ora- tors, of philosophers and philanthropists, seemed to gather round, intent to watch the accession that that day would bring to its venerated vaults. Every face wore the expression of reverential sorrow,every voice was hushed as by a common grief, every cheek was pale as by a common bereavement, not a sound was heard, and the silence, as of death, was only broken by the solemn knell from the tower, peeling ever and anon through the arches so long familiar with the sound. And now the solemn procession is entering from the Cloisters, and from afar we hear the wailing notes of the choristers, as in long array they move up the nave, be- tween the multitudes of sympathizing spectators. The coflin, covered with black velvet, is borne along followed by mourners of at least two nations. Again the procession emerges from the choir, and traverses the cathedral till it reaches the grave. Then the chief mourners stand for a while looking into it. The Premier of England is there, as repre- senting the government of the nation, thoughtful and devout. rendering the willing homage of his sympathizing nature; and the Secretary of Foreign Affairs is there, as representing the em- pire in its relations to other lands. The Queen’s Chamberlain was there, as repreâ€" senting her own personal admiratiOn, and paying her own personal tribute to the departed, the Lord Mayor and Magis- strates of London were there, as repre-; senting the world’s metropolis; the American Ambassador was there, his keen eye taking in the whole scene, and his high intelligence taking in its signifiâ€" cence. Impressed by all he saw, one would naturally start Tennyson’s question, “ Who is this that cometh like an invited guest ?" and a glance at the cofiin showed the untitled name of' an American citizen, George Peabody, of whom it may be LESSONS FROM THE LIFE or GEORGE PEABODY. It is proper to humanity to pay tribute to the memory of a great man. It is proper to Christianity to reverence the memory of the good; but when the in- dividual becomes at once good and great, and holds in equal balance the qualities of heart and hand, christianized human- ity, aroused ‘by the inspiration, embalms the life and strives to emulate the virtues that adorned it. A popularity that re- sults from ambitious pride, a fame coveted for its own sake, influence that grows from power, are all uncertain and unsta- ble. The hand that stops the breath blots out the name forever. Men rejoice in the real successes of their fellows, and gratefully hand down the name of him who gives them solace for their grief, Yet, of the multitudes Whe flit across the path to honor, or struggle through the, world’s great highway, how few become really eminent. Many seek the prize, but are unwilling to pay the price; charmed by the glittering tinselry of the world, or entranced by the siren song of pleasure, they fail to burst the shackles of sensuous thraldom,.and gird on the panoply of a lofty and enobled manhood. If indications of success become evident, they flatter themselves into a fungus growth, that Withers under the early frost, or earlier blast, of wintry discon- tent. Our sensative natures shrink from the frown of an indifferent people and fail of success. When honesty is reward ed by suspicion, integrity held at dis- count, conscientiousness made the target of scorn, sincerity :doubted, and truth received on probation, it is the few, not lthe many, that can be insensible to such adverses, and by adhereiug to a settled life purpose, push their way through or l over them all, and win at once the double prize of being the Princes and patrons of the race. When such men do appear who can rise high above nation or sect, and claim relation only to the broad brotherhood of mankind, their names become household words, and their icl- lcws love to speak of them; their names give lustre to the page of history, and inspiration to the poet’s pen ; they stamp the race with a dignity which the cold and cynical deny it, and leave to posteri- ty a. heritage more priceless than the gold of nations. In their lives they re- mind us of the possibilities of our natures, and when they receive the “royal tribute of a people’s tears.” 7 Lecture. The house in which Mr. Peabody was born was a humble dwelling in the skirts of an old fashioned New England towns, whose only importance is, that it was the lbirth place of the man whose liberal l benefactions lert it a seminary of learning and his own name. The inhabitants, most of whom are the children of the Pilgrim Fathers, live by tanning hides and making glue. The education of George was not an object of‘ anxious soli- citude on the part of his parents, whose traditional theories went to prove that the cultivation of the moral rather than the mental powers, contributed most to- wards what they rightly believed to be “man’s chief end.” Others have sugâ€" gested this because of lack of means, or facilities occasioned the neglect. What- ever was the real cause, it resulted in cutting him oif with whatever part of the , first decade of his life could be devoted to common school work, which was all! the systematic training his mind receiv- ed. If, indeed, such was found in dis- trict schools in these days could be called l systematic. His boyhood was spent like ‘ that of most boys, and like much of his subsequent life is remarkable for having nothing remarkable about it. When we hear of a name becoming ahousehold word, when we read of a life spent in the attainment of a specific object, and suc- cesses crowning the most ambitious spe- culations, we naturally look for the confirmation of the old adage, “ The child is father of' the man.” We are not surprised at the eccentric conclusion of the life of Lord Clive, where we read that when only eleven years of age, his fighting proclivities were so strongly developed as to give to his temper such a fiereeness, that his friends trembled lest his unconquerable passion would lead him to the commission of some crime that would disgrace both him and them. The people of the neighborhood used to tell how Bob Clive climbed to the. top of a steeple in Market Drayden, and how they trembled as they say him seated on a stone spout near its summit. And when he was eighteen, his friends hailed with delight an opportunity of sending him away as writer to the East India Company “ to make his fortune, or to die of fever in Madras.” We are not sur- prised at the almost unparalleled success of Warren ‘Hastings, when Lord Macâ€" Caulev tells us that while lying on the bank of a rivulet, one bright summer’s day, when he was only seven years old, he formed in his mind the plan which he executed when he came to Parliament, by which he recovered the Daylesford manor, that had been lost by the mis- managsment of his ancestors. But not-‘ withstanding the opinion of Mrs. Hana- ierd to the contrary, we are inclined to think that there are but slight evidences in the Danver’s boy of that precociousness, ‘ that so often manifests itself in those who become illustrious as the protectors er the patrons of the race. The boy was very young when he commenced to go to school, where he learned the elements of an English education with the sons of the Danvers peasantry ; nor did anything in his habits or face foreshadow the future man, nor indicate that his life should take a widely different course from that George Peabody was born in the town of Danvers, State of Massachusetts, on the 18th day of February, in the year 1795. His parents, Thomas and Judith Peabody, were descendants of the pious Puritans. It is said that the family, though in humble circumstances, was a branch from a very ancient and very il- lustrious race. It is affirmed that his genealogy can be traced back to the chi- valrous days of King Arthur, and even to the time when Boadicca. “bleeding from the Roman rods,’.’ was welcomed by her subjects. Americans are not usually fond of vaunting pride of birth, or esti- mating a man’s worth by the blood that flowed through his grandfather’s veins.‘ This is not a country where rank is a: heritage, and Where a “ long line oflordly ‘ ancestry” will cover the sins of idleness‘ and profligacy. Nevertheless,when these things supplement personal excellence and industry, they are not to be despised. At least so thought Mr. O. M. Endicott, of Salem, to whom we are principally indebted for What information we have on this point, and who has spared no labor in digging up the roots of the fam- ily tree; or, as it appears on authority worthy of credit, Mr. C. M. Endicott compiled the genealogy of the Peabody family, W. S. Peabody revised it, and another member of the family contributed an appendix, in which he traces the Tops- field branch, to which belonged the cele- brated philanthropist. After such dilli- gent research among the records of the, past, and you will remember that past covers about 1800 years. After such scdulous antiquarian research, we are prepared for a long line of worthies ; nor are we disappomted. We are told that the ancient family contributed to the list of statesmen the “ most eminent,” jurists the “ most influential”,lawyers the “ most shrewd,” warriors the “ bravest,” chief tians the “ most chivalrous,” captains in the army, and ministers in the church, philosophers and philanthropists, and at latt one architect of a princely fortune, we need not name him. Whether it would be extravagant to ask you to credit all that these men tell us about the anti- quity of the family it is my business to say, but we owe it to all to say, that it is marked by only two foot-prints that stride over, to say the least, 1600 years1 aid, as was once remarked (immernings Wilberforce, "' For departed kings»: there are appointed honours, and the wealthy have their gorgeous obsequies; it was his noble portion to clothe a people with spontaneous mourning, and to go down to the grave amid the benedictions of the poor.” s i of the young rustics with whom he stu- e‘died and played. His Childhood is not I ‘marked by incident, or remarkable for s peculiarity; he was studious, and the 1 ! plowmen remembered long how “kindly 1 little Geordie took to his books.” That F‘he was brave and courageous we might expect from his lineage, and from his I life ; but his scrupulous conscientiousness l l was often remarked, an element of char- ' actor he never lost during all the temptay tions of a long commercial life. The‘ neighbors thought of him as the “ duti- ful son,” the “ industrious student,” the r “ honest little fellow,” and, says his bio- - grapher, if they sometimes called him l “ mother boy” it was not because he was - a coward, but because he loved his mother, and it was the joy of his young ‘ heart to do anything that would add to her happiness. To her he gave the first dollar of his own earnings, and among the last of his munificent gifts, was one to build a memorial church to her memory at a cost of £100,000. His is a living example to all boys, that humble obedi- ence to the law that appoints parents as the divinely ordained sponsors of the juvenile mind, is the only sure way to secure the blessing of a long and happy life. Manliness is neither courted nor won by cigar-smoking, or other many vices. Those who are men at 15, are generally minions at 20, and fools at 25. Comparativer little is known of the early lie of this truly great man. His acts alone, set on fire by aworldâ€"wido charity, casts a light around that reveals some of the traits of a singular and re- presentive character. We are referred to his own letters and speeches for glan- ces at his real life, rather than to those eloquent and sometimes flattering com- pliments that spring from gratitude and reverence. In these speeches he makes frequent reference to his early habits, here we have the secret of his success, and though not very interesting to the lover of romance, yet it is replete with instruction to watch him performing with singular exactness, the endless monotony of duties devolving on him during four years apprenticeship in a country store, g to which he was sent when only eleven years of age. To see the stripling of 16 years battling with the world, when left alone by an adverse providence that de- . privcd him at once of a father and a = situation, and boldly making his way through the world until he wields an inâ€" fluence that might be envied by the titled , and the great. To say that kindness and. afi'ability did much to win the regard of all who came in contact with him, in business or other relations, would be pay- ing a feeble tribute to the memory of one who holds the admiratiome two conti- nents. That natural amiability that won for the clerkâ€"a place in the effec- tion of all --â€" beamed with a peculiar lustre from his face, when toil and time and care had put their searing finger-marks on it. It was said that his personal ap- pearance was much in his favor, and won for him the regards of the wealthy, and sometimes their credit also, when that most delicate nerve in commercial circles was very shaky. Nor dare we doubt the assertion if we believe the pencil that gives us the frontispiece in his life. It is impossible not to be struck by the strong manliuess which, in spite of years and bachelorhood, appears in it. In the face and figure we have the strange com< binations of sternness and simplicity, shrewdness and liberality, which are common enough in novels, but rare in real life. The ample person, the massy and thoughtful forehead, the large eyeâ€" brows, the full cheek and lip, the expres- sion so singular compounded of sense, houmor, courage, openness, a strong will and a sweet temper, are easily seen. It bears the mark of ability to drive a hard bargain, but that sharpness is softened by strict integrity until it becomes the most gracious and interesting counten- ance that was ever lighted up by the mingled lustre of intelligence and benevo- lence. As with the face of this noble man, so also with his mind, nature had done much for him; she had formed him of that clay of which she was most spartng; she had given him strong rea- son and sharp wit, a quick relish for every physical and intellectual enjoyment, constitutional intrepity, and that frank- ness by which constitutional intrepidity is generally accompanied, a spirit which nothing could depress, an easy temper, generous and placable, and that genial courtesy that has its seat in the heart, and of which artificial politeness is but a cold and feint imitation, such a disposi- tion is the richest inheritance that ever was held in fee by a man. Such was the inheritance with which Geo. Peabody commenced and carried on business. It shows the young men of later generations that we cannot place too high value on the disposition of mind we cultivate, and c the address we show even to the meanest l of our fellows, as they contribute to the a influence we are daily asserting on our t own destiny and that of our race. It is t a false philosophy that licenses the neglect a of these obligation we owe ourselves and t one another. It is a despicable criticism i that argues the meanest of' us out of our c influence.

No, it was not all, look at those concentrice rings, rolling their tiny rip- ples among the sedgey reeds, dipping the bows of yonder overhanging willow, and producing an influence slight but con- sclous to the very shore. That hasty word, that word of scorn flung from my lips in casaul company produced a mo- mentary depression, and that was all. No, it was not all. It deepened that man’s disgust for the right, it sharpened that man’s sarcasm, and shamed the When Mr. Peabody entered the arena; of life’s conflict it was with a view to success. The word fail had no place in‘ his vocabulary, nor did he ever in his practical life pronounce it. He, in com‘ men with all others, had a chance for success, but confidence and self-reliance made it a certainty, and nothing else would satisfy. It brought into the field neither carital nor genius, but the capital of upright manliness, and the genius of selfâ€"control. Capital often cripples ener- gy, and forbids men from commencing at the beginning of life. By a single stride it raises them to a giddy eminence from which they are likely to fall. Genius- frequently colapses to strong passion; His was the power to make his own cira cumstanccs, why a keen foresight con- trol events,so as to subserve his interests. His actions were prompt and resolute. It is true all the world over that the doubleeminded man is unstable in all his ways, and that in the life race for posi« tion the swift are often outstripped by the persevering, though they be as fleet as the feet of Asahel on the mountains of Israel. Insensible alike to the flattery of friends and the frowns of enemies, he pursued an even, unchangeable course, and by healthy mental and physical ex- ercise cultivated “ a hardy frame, a hardier spirit, courage when sorrow comes to beat it.” Perhaps, no surer or no stronger premonitions of failure than when we see men of business, and espe; cially young men, continually changing their tactics with every change of the moon. The man who is a grocer to-da and a dry goods’ merchant to-morrow, rs likely to be neither or nothing the day after. We almost instintively turn to the list of gazetted insolvents, if we want to find their names. Steadiness of aim, and perseverance in purpose are essential: to the attainment of worldly gain; but it is especially so In the race for the in- corruptible crown,and the eternal inheri- tance. And yet men often waver in pursuit of the gold that is current here, and that sufl'ers no discount hereafter, while they hold tenaciously to the prin- ciples of success in merely worldly afl'airs. We read of the fabled Atlas who carried the world on his shoulders, he attempted nothing, accomplished nothing, compared with the man who labored to secure this world and the next. He has two souls that govern him by turns, and the world- ly prevails in the end. The folly consists in attempting an impossibility. God: has divorced the world from the cross, and he who attempts to reunite them, joins what God will not join. In addition to his ardent attachment to his friends, was an anxious solicitude for their welfare, which prompted ready' actions to supply their wants. It was not in him to eat the bread of idleness.
