OVERDEIVRPI.—You will find men who as school-
boys were ramiurkable for their forwanlorm who were
always ready to start up and roar out ao answer in their
damp ; and who even as college were piuthing and onifident„
and quite willing to hike a lead among their follow•etudentv;
but who, tee years after leaving the university, hays ninth
into very modest sad retiring and timid men. I ban
known several cases in which this was so ; always in the
one of men who had carried off nay sigh honours.
Invidious, this lots of 000fkleoce iv in some measure the
result of growing exporisnos„ and of the lowlier estimate .1
one's own powers, which Vint seldom fails to bring to men
of sense ; but I believe that it is in no small measure the
result of a nervous system early overdriven, and of a men-
tal ormatitution from which the elasticity hasi been takes by
too hard work, gone through too soon. You know that ff
you put • bone in hareem at three yens old, be will, if be
be a good horn, do his work splendidly ; but he will eel
do it bag. At six yams old be will he a spiritless. broken-
dorm creature. You took it out of him no soon. He in
nod up. And the &vend young men at the universities
are often like the horse sat to hard work at three. By the
time they are twonicl.twody, you have sometimes taken
out of them the hod that will ever coma They will par-
hablv die about middle age; and till that time they will go
heavily through life, with little of the cheerful spring.
They will not rise to the 001:4W00. They cannot answer
the war. nay am prematurely old : weary, jaded. cowed.
Oh. that the oils system of midnight toil at the univani.
