" Of these, the lee turer poke in glowing terms, and drew a graphic picture of their magnificence and classic beauty.

Tbe lecturer then passed on to speak of Moscowits massive splendor, its gorgeous magnificence, and the glorious associations connected with its history, from the time of its foundation until it be came the grave of Napoleon's ambitioa. The character of the mars of the Rus sian populationits serf was briefly spoken of, and although they were to be regarded, he aaid, aa sunk in ignorance and degradation, patriotism and love of country was strikingly manifested among them; and even among the lowest classes of the population there had been instances of high attainments in the arts and arien- lioa. Ttte Imperial Banket Commerce wa establif bed by Alexander. The remaining portion of the lecture was occupied with a few general remarks upon the military power and resources of the Kussajia empire, and the character and discipline the Russian army had gradual ly acquired ta the turceseive contests ua wbick i the empire bad been engaged.

It is yet true in our country that the tndnstrious prudent man will not Buf fer want.. Where health ia enjoyed, thee ia no excuse for miserabU poverty. The earth produces her fruits from year to year as fietly as ever; the materials of mecha nical industry are abaudant, and the wan'a of our race are not essentially changed. snd our government doe not (at It ssi in comparison with many others) place the few in a eitustion to consume li e earning of the multitude. The rrand sources of human enjoyment are neither inaccessible nor exhausted. If our country men will cheerfully recognize and submit to the great law or our existence in this world that man must support himself by labor, and if they will abandon a life of specula lion and the various m- des, both reput able and disreputable, of gambling, ihey will find that the great promise of which the rainbow is the seU is ever made good, and that the ordinances of iht Creator still point out the path to happiness.
