Miscellaneous.

CHARACTER.-lt is ever to be kept in
mind that good name is in AL cases the
fruit OF personal erertiOn. II is not lnheri
ted from parents: ii Is not created bv cXter-
nal advantages; II Is not Il necessary appen.
daSe Of birth, or wealth or talents, or, sta
ton; but the result Oi ones own eudravours
the fruit and reward of good principles,
manifested in a course of virtuuus and
honorable action. This is the more i'm
purtant to be remarked, because it shows
that the attainment of good name, what
ever many hc your external circumstances
is entirely within y yrur power.
No young man, however humble his birth
or obscure his conditions. is excluded from
the Invaluable boon. He has only to fix his
eye upon he prize and press towards it, in
course Of viriuous conduct, aud il Is his.
Aud it is Interesting tn notice how many
Of our worthiest and best citizens have risen
to honor aud usefulness, by dint of their
own presevering cxcrtinun.
They are to be found in great numbers, in
each of the learned professions, and every
department Of business; 81 they stand forth
bri3h and animating examples of what can
be accomplished by resolution & effort. In
deed, in the formation Of character, person.
al nxertion is the first, the second and the
third virtue
Nothing great or excellent can be acquir-
ed without Il good character. A good
name will not come without heing sought
All the virtues Of which it is composed, are
the result oi'un,iring application and indus
try. Nothing can he more fatal to the at
tainmcnt of "A good character than t-each
.erous confidence in external advantages
