From Christian at Work. —Our former Vice President, Mr. Colfax, delivered an eloquent, unique and rousing lecture to a large audience at Brooklyn, last Saturday night, the stormiest night of the season. His theme was “Abraham Lincoln.” Mr. Colfax for four years was in Mr. Lincoln’s most intimate confidence. The lecture is not a hash ol olc stories, but a new revelation. It is the he,art and home of Abraham Lincoln turned inside out. The lecture is worth fifty ordinary lyeeum lectures. It ought to be heard in every hall, church, town ami city of the country. From Springfield, Mass., Republican.—Schuyler Colfax, in his lecture upon Aoiahum Lincoln, at the City Hall, List night, met a notably cordial welcome. Springfield gave him a substantial responsive audience, noticeable for its diversified, respectable character. The lecture was, of course, in the highest degree an intimate, aporecialive review, full of intelligent discernment of the character, life and labors of President Lincoln, brimming over with those famous “stories.” Many people pressed forward to greet Mr. Colfax after his taik ; and the succeeding Odd Fellows’ reception at tiieir hall was an enthusiastic compliment to their dietinguished brother, as the rooms were completely tilled by the members of the order uml their invited friends. From Burlington, la., Gazetre,Dem: Mr. Colfax's lecture was a magnificent one, and listened to most attentively by his auditory. It was such a lecture as every school boy in the country shottid hear—one that would cause the youth to revere and emulate the virtues of Abraham Lincoln. The speaker’s words recall "many sad images of the war to every heart—but through ail, the central figure was that plain, blunt man whose tender hi'artedness shone out in every act.— The lecturer was frequently interriq ted by applause.
