Taking the man among the other nations, in improvement and internal cultivation, developing her vast resources with a ra- pidity that astonished the world, she was only tardy in casting away the filthy garments of iniquity inherited from the barbarous past. Slavery had long been the foulest blot on the “Star Spangled Banner.” The divine right of man to trample upon and barter his fellow-man, once admitted into the “ Constitution," like a vile political could only be erased by blood. An enlightened populace, as- serting their majesty, determined to wipe out their reproach. Advocates for the traffic of human chattles were found, who declared that the horrors of slavery ex- isted in fancy rather than reality. They tried to rob it of it deformities, but it defied them to refine it, or change it to a thing of beauty. There it was, foul, dastardly, an insult to manhood and a dishonour to God, a curse to a. country, and the target of the world’s contempt. Christendom justly despised the free country for the viper it nursed in its bosom. Slavery was a sin, humanity detested it. It was an outrage, chris- tianity abhorred it. Aas a man, as a Christian, Mr. Peabody believed it at once the proof and the duty of‘ freedom to labor to make others free. Truest freedom is to share, i All the chalns onr'brothers wear, And with heart and hand to be Earnest to make others free; They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak, They are slaves who will not choose Hatred, seofling and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink From the truth they needs must think. Men! whose boast it is that we Came of fathers brave and free. ‘ If there lives a man whom ye By your labor can make free, Then ye are not free and brave While there breathes on earth a slave. He watched with anxiety from his London counting-house, the progress of the great contest that was issued in the abolition of slavery, and never once lost confidence in the success of ~ the right. The apple of" discord once removed, and peace restored, the heart of a great man again proved itself superior to partyism, and still loved the “ Union.” While poli- tical strife ran high, and hearts were still bleeding for lost husbands and sons, he was censured for his liberality. But he wavered not from his purpose. Slavery removed, he knew no North, no South. He believed that either resulted from birth or education. Hence, he attested the liberality of his views by a gift. of three million dollars to the Southern education fund. His politics were kin- dred to those of the old Republic, when_ E w an: “n.44 ' again threatened with a national castiga- , already sailing up the Potomac, and the ' capital of the young Republic was in ELESSONS FROM THE LIFE OF GEORGE [ PEABODY. (eoroLnnED FROM OUR LAST.) Mr. Peabody was a model for young business men in every particular. To the personal witness of temperance, honesty, uprightness, which were examples also to his fellows, he added the duty he owed to the land of his birth and the flag to which he looked for protection. He was a patriot. In the political disturbar ces that in 1776 that culminated in pluck- ing from the crown of England’s mon- arch, one of its brightest jewels, the an-l cestors of the Peabody family took an active part. Tha_fires of discord had not been completely subdued, wires in 1812 fresh difiiculties arosfi. The old feuds were recalled. and the old wounds torn afresh, forgotten jealousies were re- vived, and the American colonists were tion. Indeed, the British fleet was imminent danger.. It is not to be won- dered at, that in t ese perilous times the young merchanfwasj among. the first to stand in defence f his home and countr y‘._ It is not our“ business, as it is not our purpose, to distuss the principles upon which the youn‘ colony turned its back upon the .0ch ml; It has become a , matter of hist y;. you may read and ' judge for yours ves. War is a sin, and , some one is to blame when it occurs 3 but - when it beconies inevitable, when the enemy is on the border, and hope and home, peace and prosperity are threaten- ed, he is not a? mom, who will submit without an effort. The public spirit already evinced by Mr. Peabody had distinguished him among his fellows. His services as an artilleryman, at War- burton and Newburyport, entitled him to a grant of land from Congress. He was rapidly growing popular in political circles, yet he was not‘ led by it from his more favoured business pursuits ;j he he courted no political office ; never was the parasite of any political party; he stood on no political platform ; xkept aloof from those petty factions for Which Republican Governments are proverbial, and which have threatened her best inâ€" stitutions ; he was a citizen of the Union rather than of the County or State; he‘ never stooped to be a party of local pre- judice, if it in any way clashed with the interests or security of the commonwealth. Leaving the arena of political strife when peace returned to his country, he pre~ ferret]; byvthemultiyation of undivided manhood, to be a pattern of honour and liberality. His views on this subject suffered little change during his subse- quent life, and were mostly attested in acts rather than in words. In 1838 when so much doubt was entertained as to whether the State Municipalities could redeem their bonds he, in behalf of Maryland, advanced $300,000 and thus saved it from bankruptcy. T‘rv- . Lecture. Making a. total of . . . . . . . . $8,470,000 Such acts require no comments, nor could their magnificence or grandeur be increased by rology. They evince the greatest ability and the greatest willing- ness to do good that the world has ever seen. They show that it is possible to be the master of' a fortune and not its slave; but the best of all is the means by which the mastery was obtained is credited to its true origin. Mr. Win- throp tells us that while in conversation with the princely benefactor he turn- ed the conversation on the subject of these gifts. “ Why, Mr.Winthrop,” was his reply, “ this is no new idea to me; I have long studied such dealings of“ my pro- perty,[ have prayed my Heavenly Father day by day,that I might be enabled,before I died,to show my gratitude for the blessâ€" ings hc,has bestowed on me, by doingr some good to my fellow-men.” On another occasion. Mr. Peabody said “ It is sometimes hard for one who has devoted the best part of his life to the accumulation of wealth, to spend it for others; but practice it, and keep on practicing it,and I assure you it becomes a pleasure.” Dazzled by the brilliancv of such princely gifts, we must not forget that such requirements are only linked to commensurate ability. The pleasure is equally sweet, and the reward none the less to her who of the penury “did what she could,” or to him who “ gives a cup of cold water in the name of a dis- ciple.” ’But we must draw our speculations to a close. We have introduced to you a man who has become strangely familiar, only through his charity. You have seen him at the early age of “ eleven" without friends or capital, apprenticed as a coun- try grocers’s boy, in which capacity he commences his life of earnest and suc- cessful toil. You have seen him four years after, when promoted to another sphere, by his father’s death and his brother’s misfortune’s, left an orphan without means, in the most gloomy times.- You have seen him braving dis- appointment, and with firm resolve, turn- ing his back on the dear but desolate scenes of his childhood, and seeking the smiles of capricious fortune under sun- nier climes. You have seen him at 19 becoming first a partner, then the head of a respectable firm, establishing bran- ches in Baltimore, and several of the principal cities of the South. After crossing and re~crossing the ocean several times in transacting his foreign business, you have seen him settle permanently in “None Were for the party, {Then all were for the State, Then the great man helped the poor, ' . And the poor man loved the great; Then lands were fairly portioned, Then spoils were fairly sold, ' And Romans were like brothers, In the brave days of old.” We said that in everything pertaining 0 to business or social life our hero was a d pattern. Perhaps the assertion is too 0 sweeping, and will be received on trust 5 as the conviction of enthusiastic youth, 3 in love With a character, and which more ' intimate acquaintance may moderate. It - is perhaps diflicult, so. complete in its ' harmony of perfections, that no minor note is ever heard to jar the strain. Inâ€" deed, these little imperfections link us to , our race, and remove our illustrious heroes from the utopian lands'of gods and goddesses. I am not sure but Mr., Peabody’s failure oughtto be written in stronger'characters than commonly desig- nate human frailtics. It may. be just barely tingle with‘ something worse, for it was in contradiction to a strong re- commendation and provision of heaven ‘ The Book says it was not good for man to live alone. 'Mr. Peabody lived and died a bachelor. The real cause may - never be known ; but suflicientingenuity still remains in certain circles to-inve'nt a reason. Hence, rumour, with her bable tongue, has solved the mystery in half a dozen difl'erent ways, each of which might be satisfactory to the most fastidious enquirer. They seem to agree in the main, it is tne old, old story, disappoint- ment. dcjection, deSpair; none of which harmonizewith the analogy of the man’s life. But such “ curiosity seekers” do (1' D e r 1 upsâ€"4.4 Milâ€"J not seek such proof, so long as the object . of explanation is attained, and their troubled mind’s sootheda For while slander, like a serpent, coils itself around the meanest heart, so empty “ curiosity" seeks its lurking place in the shallowest . brain. The circle of life is only complete when it meets its true complement. The man occupies an unenviable position who can boast of imperviousness to the influâ€" ence of a pair of pretty eyes. We can at least justify our hero from the latter, while we acknowledge that the former may be with justice applied to him. It would, perhaps, be tedious to detain you much longer in company with a man whose life is only monotonous in its suc- cess. The chief lustre of his name is derived from the munificent gifts to charity and education. To speak of them individually and advert to the causes would be weal-isome.

There is not a pulsation of his life that is not a pulsation of pride. There is not a movement of his mind that is not a movement in the channels of vanity. He is corrupt in every part of his being, only his corruption is made up of infinitesimal depravities. He is sinâ€"rotten. There are a great many such men. They are keyed to selfishness. Their purposes are selfish. All their ways are selfish. Their whole concep- tion of living is selfish. There are men whose whole character has been built up w1th succassive steps of invisible wicked- ness, until, although they are decent and law-abiding, and although they stand well in society, when God looks upon them he loathes them. But they do not I have taken notice, when they were tapping the gasmain, that the men who worked in the escaping gas all the time did not smell it, whereas those who came where it was but occa- sionally smelled it very sensibly.

The body was brought as speedily as possible from Portland, by a somewhat circuitous route to Danvers,where funeral obsequies were again performed,and again his grave is surrounded by the illustrious and the great, whose hearts are strangely stirred, and who are now more than ever conscious that they have been contem- porary with a new. type of manhood.

Being here, and we believe him Something far advanced in state, And that he wears a truer crown Than any wreath that man can weave England, we take him from thine arms, We thank thee fpr thy reverent care, If thoii ahd We'wéT‘e e'ver friends We should be so beside his bier. l With sealed eyes, and forloed‘lhgl/ms He drifts across the winti‘y sea, Which chants to him its thousand psalms. We proudly name and claim him ours, We take him, England, from thy breast, We open wide our doors to him ' Who cometh home a silent guest. We lent him thee to teach thy sons ' The lesson of the open hand, V Lest furnished lips should bless them less Than him-«the stranger in their land; We lent him living unto thee To be a. solace in thy pain; But now we want his noble dust To conseei'ate it ours again. ,,,,V_ V‘.-n, on his head.

And what has the great lesâ€" son of' his life been? It is this: That by the assistance of Him who promises “ never to forsake,” a man can live among the anxieties and-temptations of commer- cial life, and be untainted by falsehood or deceit; thesimple and kindly heart that in youth divided with his orphan brothers and sisters the scanty earnings :of his toil, expanded, in “later and more prosperous days, to social amenities and timely charities to his‘countrymen in a. strange land. You hate seen an indi- vidual through a long career from comâ€" parative poverty to opulence, remain unchanged in nature, untainted by that success that too often corrupts our nature and mellowed only by those growing years, that seldom fail to blunt our finer sensibilities. You have seen a man by his own individual effort raise himself to A Prophetic Queen. ‘ ‘ Requiescat in pace.” It is possible for a man to abstain from outward manifestations of wickedness, and yet be wicked through and through. There Is a paltry, narrow, unmanly kind of prudence which keeps a man back from iron-like wickedness. Guarded by such prudence, a man does not do anything on a large scale. He does not venture at all. His sins are all mermaids. There is not a line on them. There are all as mean, and they indicate as much wicked- ness, as sins that are more overt and of greater magnitude. He never stole or robbed, nor committed what is called a crime, nor indulged in what goes by the name of vice; but there is not a throb‘ of his soul that there is not a throb of selfishness. There is not a pulsation of his life that is not a pulsation of pride. There is not a movement of his mind that is not a movement in the channels of vanity. He is corrupt in every part of his being, only his corruption is made up of infinitesimal depravities. He is sinâ€"rotten. There are a great many such men. They are keyed to selfishness. Their purposes are selfish. All their ways are selfish. Their whole concep- I tion of living is selfish. There are men whose whole character has been built up . w1th successive steps of invisible wicked- ;ness, until, although they are decent and Henry Ward Beecher on Respect- ab‘e Rogues. “v. “w”. .. rrvnnvm .a. uvu u uuuvv, uuu a friend of the Turco’s came out from the crowd, and led him away, prancing all the time, and throwing back over his shoulder that severe general on review look, which had so disconcerted the little _fat private. In the evening, only an hour or two since, I saw another anco causing adistnrbance. He had apparentlf-bought some object, and paii insufficiently for it. The shopkeeper was raving his griev- ances to a‘ circle of flaneurs, and the tall little Arab stood in front, with the calm- est smile possible upon his tawny face. Two Gardes de Paris came up. The shopkeeper insisted that the thief, as he called him, should be arrested. The crowd increased, but no one took meas- ures to do justice. The Turco, It should a say, was armed with a sword bayonet, and towered by a head above the group. He listened with an amiable air until, tired of" the joke apparently, he suddenly swung off with rude insouciance and lounged away, always wearing the same pleasant smile; and no one attempted to pursue except the little shopkeeper, who swooped round and round him like a eeaagnll, but soon gave up the useless chase. I mew tion these two little stories to show the way they are treated. If the Arabs do not shortly show by acts, the most bitter contempt for their masters I shall be surprised, and the Parisians will have no one to blame for the necessity of giving a cruel lesson to these children of the desert, but themselves. 3 One of the many special correspon‘ dents, .peaking of the presence of the w I Turcos 111 Paris, says 1â€"- V “These Turcos, if only there were not so many of them, would be capital fun.

There were thousands looking on. The ofl‘icer,-a fin- ieking sort of a gentleman, turned very red. ‘March,’ he cried; The line ad- vanced, so did the Turco, who galloped up and down in front of the poor Guards without a smile. Now he stood'at one flank, and now dashed at full speed to the other, eyeing the movement with that critical glance which distinguishes an ancient martinet. The people'roared with laughter; the oflicers grew redder, and perhaps, muttered mild oaths between their teeth; the honest privates did not know which way to look. ‘ Remove that man!’ cried the commandant. ‘Haltl’ They halted, but they did not remove the merry Tureo, who cantered on to the middle of the line, and frowningly scru- tinized the equipments and bearing of the men. There was a little fat fellow there who got desperately uncomfortable innder this gaze. He glanced down at his boots to see if they were all right, then along his belt; he tried to twist round and examine his knapsack. ‘ Re- move that man I’ roared the officer.
