AN ADDRESS
To The Senior Glass of Dickinson CoIleg'
Carlisle, Penn, July ..

The Raccalaureate Address mas been
published by Messrs. Collins, Lodge
Alley. II is an appropriate production
abourding in sound principles, Affection
ateIv impressed. We transcribe a few
sentences, which will be appreciated by
"a whatever career Of life you enter,
fix your eyes on the highest point OF posi-.
liz excellence. and then persevere IN your
efforts to app roach il. Probably more
oarsons fail for want OF continued exertions
han for want Of high resolves. They
make few efforts with apparent zeal, but,
n,ee,;no no immediate reward or discour.
aged by unforeseen difficulties, give over
the struggle and sink down in iistless ln-
action or gloomy misanthropy. The racer
mioht as we'll think to win the prize with.
out the breath and bottom to reach the
GOAL Men might with equal reason COM
Dlain that the pure wine does not sparkle
e The Gun without the care OF vintage and
The labor of the wine press. The great
Roman orator devoted twenty years 70 4
constant application, before he commences
his nublic career and afterwards amidst
the harrassipg anxieties Of political lite,
found time besides delivering an incredible
number OF orations, 10 write valuable and \
learned works on great variety OF SUD
;ects. Do you inquire how ne accom-
nlished all this? Let him answer tor
himself in the Grafton for Archlas the poet.
"Who then can justly censure me, II, as
much time as 10 given to other men icr
their own business; for the celebration OF
festival days and other pleasure; tor
repose OF body aud mind; for gaming, ball,
and nightly entertainments SO much
appropriate TO myself, and devote 10 these
studies.n Now the reason why few at.
tain similar eminence is that so lew
make similar efforts. What Cicero De-
came. he made himself; and whatever de-
GREE of usefulness or reputation you al
tain, must be the fruit Of patient, resolute
toll. You live in an ageof unparalleled
activity and enterprise in every depart.

ceive. No sinecures are bestowed to iat-

for the brow of the sleeper. The laurel

perennial wreath, must toll up the rug
