Talent and Industry.

More is to be expected from labori Gus
mediocri,y, than from cratic efforts Of
Maynard genius.
Demosihenes elaborated sentence after
sentence, and Newton rose to the heavens
By the steps of geometry, and said al the
close Of his career that it was only in the
habit of patent thinking that he was con-
sc!ous of differing from other men. j is
generally thought that men are signalizcd
more by talen. than industry; it is felt to
be vulsarizing Of genius to attribute it
to any thing but direct inspiration from
heaven; they overlook the steady and
pcrscvering devotion Of mind to a subject.
There are higher and lower walks in
sch olarship, but the highest is q walk Of
labor.
We are often led into a contrary orn-
ion by looking at the magnitude Of the
object in its finished state, such as the
.'Principian Of Newton, and the Pyramids
Of Egyp'; without rejecting on the grad-
ual, continuous, | had almost salt! creep
ing progress by which they grew into
objects OF the greatest magnifcence in the
literary anil physical world. In the one
case, indeed, we may fancy the chisel
which wrought each successive stonc;but
in the other, we cannot trace the process
by which the phil osopher was raised from
one landing place TO another, III he scars
ed 10 his towering elevation; it seems as
if The work was produced ct the bidding
ola magician. But Newton has lel: as
legacy, the assurance thqt he did not at
tain this elevation by dint Of heavep.born
inspiration, on. Of the reach oi many, bat
by dint Of homcly virtue within tho
reach Of all

Love and Pride.

We commend the following judicious
remarks to the particular attention of those
most interested.
" Many man has seen his choice for
a partner in life, in the humble girl, Far
beneath him in the opinion of the world.
and although love and pride nigh: have
struggled with him for while, yet pride

The following observations on look

Clio states that he docs not intend to

Aad the first selected for attack is, "thc

morol proprieIy speak Of rhyme as Gods

in the phraseology, for it is perfectly ma

Clio also expresses "A desire to know
what 'iustiabie reasons B. T. B. can give

purpose of illustration need, no defence.
As well might Clio find fault Of Homer,

the sentence, is that sVirgil. !.esiod and

cannot see the "glearing absurdily, The
