Finished Education.

GIbbnn truly says that the best and
most important part of every mans edu-
:aiion, is that which he gives himself.
Many of our youth of both sexes
feel that their education is finished when
their school days are over. No idea
can be more destructive to the progress
oi true Improvement. Our education
is never finished till we are in our graves.
The discipline acquired in college or in
school is given 10 us only that we may
he better able afterwards to educate our
selves. We have only then crossed the
threshold OF course of improvement
that must last us our lifetime. Such dis
cipline is Important; indeed, is absolute
ly essential, To start us Alright in the life
toll before us; but to suppose that il
completes all that must be done for our
Intellectual or moral welfare, is absurd.
The best part of a mans education is
then to come, and upon the manner in
which each one uses for himself the ar
rangements made for him in his early
life, will depend the character of his iu-
nre. Much, too, is said about mans
m'nd having reached maturity, and that
he needs no more discipline or education.
\ false idea, productive of much mis-
chei 10 real mental Improvement
There is no period. in the history of the
mind, in which it is incapable of any far
ther progress, as long as the body retains
It's health. No man, who has lived to
the age of sixty, in the constant employ
ment OF his mental faculties, but sees
that every day he is acquiring greater
powers, greater control over what he
does know, aud an accumulation of new
ideas. IL IS neuer too late in life to
icarR. 49,. r...

Advice 10 the YOnay.

at those dangers Ia which they are eX-

There are voices which sing around you;
