To such @ man ‘is aay itrue what Cicero said of Scipio Africanus, “ Never leas alone than when alone ; never lees at rest than when at rest.’’ Thisis the real exclu- sive society—this the magic circle which, indeed, dig- nifies humanity; for it interests without corrupting, and elevates the feelings without hardening the heart.

Now, I do not pretend to say that 100 years hence the French language will be spo! yas many people as the English len- nee. I @ quite the contrary. I believe the E ih language is destined to be spoken oe mol ple than any other that ever existed. Bui the French lan- guage bas become, and is l{%ely to continte, the lan- guage of communication througho<t Europe. For in- stance, in all my travels in Spain, in Italy, iz Germany, in Russia, and in Austria, never had one letter of tn- troduction to any man; I never met any man with whom | wished to communicate, that did not speak Frenob familiarly. I cannot say 0 much of English In Germany, Spain, and Italy they have a much greater taoility for speaking the French language, of course, than toe English, I speak especially of the Spaniards and the Italians. Their lan age has # strong affinity for the French language. The Freach language is spo- ken even more generally than the English language. In Russia, amongst educated men, French is the uni- versal medium of communication.

I have seen other gentle- men here this eveniag, whose gaiety and genius are cer- tainly almost as familiarly known to my friends and countrymen as they are here; the drawings, and the caricaturee, and the wit of Punch, go duly every fort- night to every book-shop, and every book-club. and every boy and girl in Boston, and New York, and Phila delphia. And so | find it with all the names with which your city and your present meeting present me.

I nee it equally as the foundation of tha aristocratic character of the people, which though it may, perhaps, sometimes lone eight of its origin and wander into strauge vagaries, if it lose that moral quality will be paralysed and cease to be. (Cheers ) And I see it not less in the honesty of performance—in all the trade, in the manufactures, in the mechanics’ shops, that solidity and firmness of work which is the natlonal badge. This consciousness is one element; and the other, sir, is thet habit of friendship, if{ may #0 call it, that fidelity of fellowship, whion I see here run- ning through all classes; that election of worthy in- dividuals ‘0 a fraternity, to kind offices, and following them with » warm and staunch fellowship, and support- {ng them from year to year, from youth to age, and which stands in very strong contrast with the short- lived action, the excess of courtesy, and the very super- ficial attachments which exist in other races, and which nd attachment, and permanence of regard are alike lovely and honourable in those who render and those who receive it. (Applause.) Mr. Chairman, in looking at these traits in the English character, it has given me great pleasure to observe that in this time of commercial disaster,of gloom, of bankruptcy, of affliction, and of Leggary in the neighbouring districts, the Atheneum has chosen to hold, with its usual spirit, this, its snalversery. It seemed to me, because of those peculiarities which belong to the Fnglish character, a certain duty well becoming the managers of the inatitu- tion. They seemed to me to say, “ for all that’s come and gone, we shall not abate the spirit or the splendor of our annual feast; no, not by an oakleaf; no, not by & chaplet.” And I wish tosay, sir, that I was brought u from my childhood in the belief that this British island, fcom which my forefathers came, was not a Lotus gar- den—was not a paradise of serene skies, and roses, and mustc, and merriment, all the year round No; but a cold, foggy, mournful country, bearing no fruit well in the open air, but robust mea and virtuous women— (spplause)—and those, too, of a certain wonderful fibre and endurance, and certaialy, people, whose good qualities were not very swift to show themselves, whose virtues, as | wastold, never came out tillthey quarrelled. (Laughter and applause) I was told, to uae «country phrase of ours, that they did not “ strike tw the first time.’’ (Laughter) Good lovers they were; good haters they were; that you could not know much of them till you had seen them long, and you could not know any- thing good of them till you had seen them inaction. In their prosperity, it was said, they were apt to be a little moody—a little nervous and dumpish; but that in ad- versity they were grand (Renewed laughter.) I ask you, sir, if the wise ancients did not hold in less esteem that bark which was parting from its native port with sil, its colors flying, than that ship, the brave sailer, which was coming back with battered sides and torn canvas, &od stripped of all her banners, yet havin ridden out the storm.
