For the unbollevlng world outside,
It must bo romemborod, tho Tran
scendental movoment nt least con
tributed some such sunihlno through

England, as "a Soclnlan mlnlstor who
had loft tho pulpit to reform the world
by cultivating onions." Emerson
comparod Drook Farm to "a Franch
revolution In small" and a certain
mooting of tho ' Transcendental club
to "going to heaven in a swing." All
tho peculiarities of Drook Farm, we
may be suro, were reported without
diminution in tho gossip of Boston
society, oven the Jokes of tho young
people mado upon thc-msolves bolng
takon seriously In the world outside;
as when thoy asked at tho dinner ta

of your Influence?" pr proposed that

more young men thnn young women,
