Self Education, by William Writ
And this leads me gentlemen, to another
remark to which | invite your attention.
1t is this The education, moral and INTEL
lectual, of every individual, must chiefly be
his own work. There is prevailing and
fatal mistake on this subject. 1t seems to
be supposed, that if young man be sent,
first to grammar school, and then to COL
lege, he must of course become a scholar ;
and the pupil himself is apt to imagine that
he is to be the mere passive recipient of in
struction, as he is of the light and atmos.
phere which surround him. But this dream
of incidence must be dissipated, and you
must be awakened to the important truth,
that, if you aspire to excellence, you must
become active and vigorous co-operators
with your teachers, and work out your own
distinction with an ardor that cannot be
quenched--a perseverance that considers
nothing done whilst any thing remains to be
done. Rely upon it the ancients were
right-Quisque sue fortuna .faber both in
morals and intellect, we give their final
shape to our own characters, and thus be-
come, emphatically, the architects of our
own fortunes. How else should i, happen,
that young men, who have had precisely
the same opportunities, should be continual
ly presenting us with such different results
and rushing to such opposite destinies
Difference Of talent will not solve it, because
that difference is very often in favor of the
disappointed candidate. You shall see is
suing from the walls Of the same school
nay, sometimes from the bosom ofthe same
family-two young men, of whom the one
shall be admitted to be genius ofhigh or
der; the other scarcely above the point o.
mediocrity; yet you will see the genius
sinking and perishing in poverty, obscurily'
and wretchedness while on the other hano'
you will observe the mediocre Flooding MS
slow but sure way up the hill OF life, gaming
steadfast footing at every step, ana mount
ing at length TO eninence and diSflnc'ion'

SONG OF THE WATER DRINKER.

by f. JOHNSON.
On! water for me bright water for me,
And wine for the tremulous debauchee
1t cooleth the brow, it cooleth the brain,
1t maketh the faint one strong again;
IL comes DER the sense like breeze from the sea
All freshness-like infant purity.
Oh! water, bright water for me, for me
Give wine, give wine to the debauchee!
Fill to the brim. Fill, fill to the brim!
Let the flowing crystal kiss the rim!
For my hand is steady, my eye is. true,
For i, like the flowers, drink nought but dew.
Oh water, bright water Is a mine of wealth,
And the ores it yieldeth are vigor and health.
So water, pure water for me, for me-
And wine for the tremulous debauchee
Fill again to the brim Again to the brim!
For water strengthened life and limb
To the days of the aged it addeth length,
To the might of the strong it addeth strength.
1t freshens the heart, it brightens the sight,
IT'S like quaffing goblet of morning light.
So, water will drink nought but thee,
Thou parent of health and energy!
When DER the hills, like gladstone bride,
Morning walks forth in her beauty's pride,
And, leading band of laughing hours,
Brushes the dew from the nodding flowers;
Oh! cheerily then my voice is heard,
Mingling with that of the soaring bird,
Who fiingeth abroad his mathis loud.
As he freshens his wing in the cold gray cloud.
But when Evening has quilted her sheltering yew
Drowsily flying and weaving anew
Her dusky meshes DER land and sea
How gentle, o sleep, fall thy peoples on me!
For drink water, pure, cold and bright,
And my dreams are Of heaven the livelong night
So, hurrah for thee, water hurrah, hurrah,
Thou art silver and gold, thou art riband and star
Hurrah for bright water Hurrah, hurrah

The following pure lines, from the pen of one
who, like the flowers, drinks naught but dew,
are copied from Fosters reprinted Metropolitan
Magazine. The Rochester Gem says, "He is
none Of your halfway temperance men, who
will break the poor mans whiskey jug with a
bottle of champagne, and sneer at brandy car
buncles, when his own nose is decorated with
the feshy hillocks' of the wine cask." No, in
deed the inditer of such thrilling rhymes has
drawn from water, pure cold and bright the
sparkling ores of vigor and health of which
the wine drinker has no experience.

The Suspension Bridge over the Niaga-
"a River, at Lewiston, for the construction
of which charters were granted last winter,
by the Legislature of the state of New York,
and the Parliament of Upper Canada, will be
one ofthe proudest triumphs of art in the
known world. The banks of the river at
Lewiston and Queenston, are l25 feet high,
chiefly composed of limestone rock. The
bridge will be built in the form Of an in.
verted arch. The flooring will be laid on
the iron chains on suspension rods, the links
Of which, are to be nine feet nine inches
long, capable of sustaining weight of 1900
tons. 1t has been computed by the engi.
neer, that if the whole length and breadth
of tho bridge should be oovered with oxen
standing close to each other, the whole
weight would be $50 tons less than the es.
tmated weight it will be capable of sus.
tanning.
The cables will pass over freestone col.
umns or abutments, on either side, and be
firmly fastened to the rocks below. Two
plans have been proposed for the construc.
ton Of the bridge :-one to place the col.
umns close to the bank of the river, at the
foot of the mountain the other, to place
them at the top.
On the first plan the columns will be 200
feet high; the length of the chord 1000
feet, in this case there will be eight suspen.
ding cables-two carriage ways, twelve feet
wide, and one foot way five feet wide in the
centre; the estimated expence in round
numbers ss13l,OO0. On the second plan,
the columns will be 80 or 100 feet high;
the length Of the chord 1000 feet; expense
$4,000. In either case, the lowest point
in the inverted arch, will be 100 feet above
the water.
When this work is completed, this coun.
try will truly be museum of wonders.
Several bridges of this kind have already
been built in this country but none on
scale so magnificent as this. Here there
will be rich materials for the historian--the
philosopher-the poet-the devotee of art,
and the worshipper ofnature.-BuG. Com.

Now whose work is this? Manifestlv
their own. They are the architects of
their respective fortunes. The best SEM
mary of learning that can open its portals
to you, can do no more than afford you the
opportunity of instruction, but it must de-
pend at last on yourselves, whether you will
be instructed or not, or to what point you
will push your instruction. And of this be
assured-I speak from observation, a GER
tain truth-There is no excellence without
great labor. Ii is the fiat of faith, from
which no power of genius can absolve you.
Genius unexerted is like the poor moth
that futters round candle till it scorches
itself to death. If genius be desirable at
all, it is only of that great and magnani-
nous kind, which, like the condor of South
America, pitches from the summit of
Chimborazo, above the clouds, and sustains
itself at pleasure, in that empyreal region,
with an energy rather invigorated than
weakened by the effort. 1t is this capacity
for high and long continued excrtion-this
vigorous power of profound and searching
investigation-this careering and wide-
sweeping comprehension of midland
these long reaches of thought, that
Pluck bright honor from the pale ficed moon,
Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
Where fLthom-line could never touch the
ground;
And drag up drowned honor by the locks.
This is the prowess, and these the hardy
achievements which are to enrol your
names among the great men of the earth.
But how are you to gain the nerve and
the courage for enterprises of this pith and
momentl will tell you: AS Milo gain
ed that hoe signo vinces: for this must be
your work, not that of your teachers. Be
you not wanting to yourselves, and you
will accomplish all that your parents, friends
and country have right to expect.
