NEVER TOO LATE.

Some persons, whose minds have not been pro-
perly cultivated in early lite, are in advanced
age discouraged from attempting to supply the
defect by the notion that The susceptibility Of cul-
ture is very much impaired, if not altogether lost,
and the power Of deriving pleasure from such
sources infinitely less than in youth. No doubt
the faculties have wasted for want Of being EN-
ployed; but ii is eqlally certain that the period of
lie must be very far advanced, indeed, at which
they may not be quickened to use and polished TO
brightness; and for the eajoyu'ent we shall quote
Dugald Stewart, who, in one Of his essays, says ::
