Nothing is more true than Virgil's declara-
tion-' Non o1lnia possumuS onaneS," we, all,
cannot do all things. The powers that exist
are not always ducttle or versatile and, by
reason of necessity or habit, some have no more
variety of operation, than the mules that grind
sugar canes in the West Indies. In one thing
they ercel, on one subject they can speak; but,
concerning all others, they are mere simple
IONS and are more ignorant and weak than the
.ralet or peasant. A universally of genius is
not, perhaps, desirable; but no man ought to
be satisfied to display his talents and acquire
mcnts in only one 9oaY. While chosen pro-
fession is followed with persevcring assiduity
and made the principal business of life, many
other Subsidiary things ought to be appendix

family and society, require the possession and
practice of diversified gifts and operations of
The mind and the body. Not to use our en-
dowments for ourselves and Others TO the cX-
tent Of our abilities, is burying our talents,
and we are siothtul AID Improbable servants,

criminal as deliberate acts of vice, Is yet high
