The Rev. I, N.

Bavago, and began his lecture at8:20. Fol- lowing is o brief summary: ’ Ho enid he used the term mauhood in its brond, generio sonse, without regurd to_sox. Manhood moant the noble, swaok, pure, and elo- vated in human nature. Pootry had Leen con- sidorod somowhat wouk, and rather more appro- prieto to tho days of youth than to tho oner- Rotio, practical, overy-uny life of manliood. ‘The poot's creative power was & gift, though liow much has boen reprossed by circumstences the world would nover know. In alarge scnso, thero was pootry in whatever appealed to tho higher susceptibilitios, it might ho found in running brooks, the woods, in humau facos, snd in all Naturo, but in its stricter sonso it was tho language of passion. The lecturer illustratad by quofations from Longfollow's Hyporion, end ‘]Ili! Odo to Agassiz, from Wordsworth, and yron, Pootry must necessarily have form, as well as tho spirit which was expressod in’ tho form. But if the form was destroyed the spirit was also destroyed, as the flower with its eloganco, whon crusfied and scontless, was no longer the flower of beauty which we formerly admired. The poot folt"a sonsa of tho divinencss of things. Ho was in tuno with all thiugs good, true, and pure. Love was the groat privciplo which animated him gud touched evory sonti- mont ho osprossed. First, in showing the in- fluenco of pootry, Dr. Powers said that thore wero two forms of pleasure,—tho sonsual and the spiritual, Tho formor was blighting, im- pure, and soon entinted ; while the ploasures of {he Houl wore innooent ‘snd nover cloying, Of this latter cluss was poetry. It altorded an ox= prossion the moat varied and profound. ‘Thero wore somo sensations that wo desired to got vid of, and somo which we wished reuewed, Wo desired o form of oxpression for theso focliugs, aud when one bad not thereadiness to choogothe form for ono's self, the noxt most plonsant thing was to find that expreesion in tho words of anothor, Tho marvelous power of much pootry was in its ability to flly oxpross the inner thoughts of the hioart which luy noarost o tho springa of }ifo and uotion. TPootry rafinod und enlarged our hearts, Both tho sentimenty snd tho forms of expression Lad this rosult, Looking through tho groab pootry of tho world, wo found the most eclovated and sublimo, and the most_solemn and tonder nn- pulses and incidents illustiatod. The lecturer devoted & short paragraph to a fervont dofenso of sonument which mauy poovla considered wenk, foolist, and mawkish, This dofonre concluded with & glowing referenco to the American flag and tho lato war. Toolry nuréed tho spi1it of gontlonoss and reflnament, No purely worldly person was over a lover of poetry, It also © gront libornlizing iofluence, It widonod tho porceptions, snd wavea true catholicity to tho soul. Somo persons wover considered any- thing good unless it was laboled with some pet namo aud carefully poked away iuto the little piggeon-hole of their particular elan, or sect, or croed. Pootry waa ag brond in its genorosity as our humnm:{. Poetry had an ennobling and invigorating in- fluence, ''ho pooms which were most read, and which wera wmost valuable, were those which were based on morality. Not those of a didactio character, but those which taught by thaw in- heront charactor, Thelr Iessons wero in their very warp and woof, Thoy taught by moans of the virtuos thoy indiroctly presentod, not by suy mora) directly drawn, T'ho moral and religious feolings bolouged to the highest order of poetry. In illustration Dr. Powort citod many seloctions from various groat poots. A largo portiou of the Biblo, ho suid, was pootry, A groat doal is said about tho real and practical iw our time. Nothing was more roal thun that whioh imparted to us nobll- ity, courage, and mauliness, nud that is ono of tho great Influences of pootry. ‘I'he higbor influences of “paoiry tock one to whore ono saw cloarly nnd far, but not with tho physical oye. By it tho forcos whioh worked deopost in us were replenisbed. We wero brought closer to the infinito beauty which glow- od i all things, Iu conolusion, the lecturer paid o warm tribote to the grand old poot, Willlam Cullen Bryant, ‘Tho logwure was largoly interaporaed with so- lootions from tho most note: English poets, and those in themsolves wore suftiolently ontertain- Ing to have untistied the sudience, had thoy beon trented to nothing further, sl Sl S AMUSEMENTS, THE SIDDONA-WALRER ENTENTAINMENT, Mra, Beott-Biddons and Mastor Stophon Honry Walkoer drow au audionco last ovoning to Blo- Cormiok’s Ilall which, in & modosate suditorium, would have appearad large, Doth porformors wore roceived with warmth and rewarded hoart- ily in turn, Tho programme, as annonnced, contained Homo of the lady's most popular selec- tions, and presented the boyleh musical prodigy In an unusually fine light, Ales.
