A little incident will shew his character and the peculiar power of his mind, better than any detailed description. He once had occasion to deliver a lecture in one of our large manufacturing towns in Massachusetts. The weather was rainy and the audience small. To a friend who expressed his regret that the audience was so small, he said, that if he could be sure of the earnest attention of a single mind, he should have enough to satisfy him-he should have object and inspi ration enough. The lecture which was a noble one, and much more elevated in its philosophy and moral tone, than is usual on such popular occasions, was delivered before the meagre audience.

About a year afterwards, a rough looking operative in one of the factories was heard talking enthusiastically about a lecture he had heard the previous winter, and gave a complete account of it to his comrades, and heartily wished that the young man might come and repeat it to a larger audience. I do not know whether Mr. Emerson ever heard this story. If he did, he must have been happy in finding his wish gratified in having one attentive listener. If he did not hear it, he must still have been blessed in possessing a mind that thought itself fully repaid for its labors, by being able to address even but a single human soul, with words of philosophical truth and spiritual faith.

He is gone. We mourn not for him. Indeed a sort of sad pleasure crossed my mind, when I heard of his passage.

"For he was ours! and may that word of pride

Drown, with its lofty tone, pain's bitter cry,
With us, the fierce storm over, he could ride
At anchor, in safe harbor, fixedly.
Yet onward did his mighty spirit stride

To Goodness, Beauty, Truth, eternally.

And far behind, dissolved in mists away,

That which confines us all, the Common, lay."*

From Goethe's lines on Schiller.
