iii behooves us not to be satisfied with SUPER
fetal attanments, but to strive to reach the
true foundation and win the reward of our
toll
We are too easily lulled into the belief
that our capabilities are not equal to those
of others, and so rest supinely; charging the
Deity with an unequal distribution Of capa-
cities, But Holy Writ informs us that God
made man-.not one man-but mankind
universally, little lower than the angels, in
his own image, and breathed into him part
of his own infinite and eternal intellect,
eminentIy qualifying him to wing his flight
to the utmost boundary of creation.
See how ardently Newton, that intellect
ual prodigy cultivated science, and the pro-
found attainments he made in it. He pro-
secuted his studies not only throughout the
long hours of day, but night after night
without ceasing; and he became so absorb
ed in his studies that he allowed himself OIL
" two or three hours rest daily, for weeks
in succession. Do you say his greatness
was owing to his native talentl Hear his
own words.
Il owe nothing to genius, but all to in
dustry If I have done the world any SER
vice, il is due to nothing but industry and

Would you with Newton plunge into the
'labvrinthian intricacies' ofScience. or with
Herschel roam among the celestial worlds!

lightning of literature.
If there is any principle we could keep
constantly before the vision of man, it is the
motto of the bard of Mantua. Labor ON
nea vincit' This principle heralded into
the world by Demosthenes, has made its a.,
vent under the banner of greatness, and
never before was there precept more re-.
plete with wholesome and! favorable results
This truth which has been proved by the
test of ages, should be engraved upon the
SUMS disc SO as to be visible by every eye in
the universe.
And its influence upon the tide of mans
faculties would be like that of the Earth's
satellite upon the tide of the mighty deep.
If your first efforts are not crowned with
success, it does not justify you in surceasing
from the diligent prosecution of noble Tn
dertakng.
The first effort of Fulton to apply steam
power to navigation was failure, but he
tried again, and away across the tumbling
pillows moved the proud empress of the sea.
If Chatterton, who was called the "half-
IDIOT" and who was turned out of school
as being incapable of further instruction,
had yielded to the first unsuccessful effort,
where would have been the diamond in
Enpland's intellectual casketl But he, with
Napoleans ambition persevered; and how
glorious has been the reward-his tran.
scendant abilities have been admired by the
world.

Never did the sun rise in greater splen-
dor than on the New Years morning fol-
lowing that night of hunger, gliding the
spires and domes of the city with its rays.
The streets were already rapidly filling with
the gay crowd seeking pleasure, and men
walked as though new life had been given
them by the general hilarity and the brac-

In the most crowded street was the news

LITTLE K1NDNEssEs.-Small acts of kind
ness how pleasant and desirable do they make
life Every dark object Is made light by them,
and every tear of sorrow is brushed away
When the heart is sad, and dependency sits at
the entrance of the soul, triing kindness
drives despair away, and makes the path of life
cheerful and pleasant. Who will refuse kind
act? 1t costs the giver nothing, but is invalua
BILE to the sad and sorrowing. 1t raises from
misery and degradation, and throws around the
soul those hallowed joys that were lost in Para

glimmerng light but these, by reason of this i'd
osyncracy may be considered exceptions. The
law Of our nature is to hope. The necessity Of
this law is as obvious as the law ITSELF With
out the operation of such principle it would
be impossible to live in this world, certainly to
live in comfort. Hence, when amid the fall of
nah so many flowers of Paradise withered and

This will spring up anywhere, even in the des-
erts of this world. 1t is never to be eradicated
from the soil of humanity. 1t is congenial and
coeval, for as long as we live there will be ex-
pected good before us. 1t seems to underline
the entire strata ofhuman faculties and feelings,

life. There is not a condition of humanity on
which hope is not attendant. There is not an
aspect of our destiny on which her benignant
light does not fall. Who is a stranger to her
impulses? Childhood reaches forward to youth;
youth mpatenty awaits manhood; Manhood
hopes on to the very confines Of age. The trav-
eller, far distant FROM his home, has this for q

The sick man is continually looking forward to
the time of his restoration to health. Even the
dying man often hopes to the moment of giving

let him exercise his abilities, let him wrestle
with science as Jacob did with divinity,
and he will become giant-he can but be
mighty. Genius, in the common accepta-
ton of the term, is much; but labor in its
hardest forms, is more. There is much in
the nature of the original block of marble,
selected by the sculptor for the statue of the
hero; but that sculp tor's skill and toll must
bring forth the manly proportions, and the
speaking features. So it is with mind.--
The original constitution and capabiIity is
essential, but this is nothing more than in.
ert matter, without the most diligent appli-
cation.
Could the celebrated Crichton, who mas.
tered ten languages, who held public dis
putation with the great and learned men of
France, have silenced his opponents and
come off bearing the palm amid the loudest

every ordinary human skull, Improperly dis
ciplined, to exert mighty influence. In
stead of being pigmy in the ranks of idi-
OTIS, any man might become Hercules in
the phalanx of intellectual giants.
A mind superior to that of the distin-
guished and lamented Hamilton, is rarely
found, yet he thought it indIspensably ne
cessary to think long and steadily upon the
most abstTuse problems, by which, he laid
a broad and fixed foundation, and upon it
he reared stately superstructure which
has withstood the whitening blasts of calum-
ny, the thunderbolts of malignity, and a.
round whose adamantine base the angry
surgcs Of party animosity are thrown back,
and as the turgid pillows recede, we behold
its towering apex radiating heavens majes-
tic courts. Can man become great without
the exercise of his abilities! AS we'll might

The edict has gone forth from the eternal
throne of God, man must earn his bread by

mutable and as lasting as time. And there
cannot be found an instance either in the
annals of the past or in the archives of eter-
nifty of an individual who has attained true
greatness without ardent, powerful and i'm

the third place,-diligence ensures sue

Continued effort is condition as essen
