the true wits was not to be expected.
The Cross.thinkers, however, are not
always themselves Of mean account in
literature. 1t is rather sad reflection
that some Of the men of tho most brill
liant literary powers rank among those
wins devote themselves on all occasions
to make the worse appear the better
reason. Unfortunately to possess elo-
quence is not necessarily to possess al
so the inclination to use it solely for
good ends. Crotcbet and vanity take
the direction of but too much Of it.
The very fact that it is much easier to
make stir with eccentric opinions,
than with those that have the sup
port Of truth and general approba.
tion, is the cause why an immense pro.
portion of the talent which arises is
from the first perverted, and ever after
wards misused. And we hardly know
more sad spectacle than that of man
OF brilliant gifts being thus led into
false relations to his species and con-
demnod at the end to look back upon
efforts of which the best that can be
said is only this, they have not been suf.
liciently powerful to extinguish truth,
or obstruct the course of civilization
Cross thinking has great charm for
young minds. 1t is quaint and striking,
often droll-looks like something to
which the few are privileged-is free
from that vulearity which ia SO apt to
bcset any great cause in which the sym
pathies and interests of multitudes are
concerned. Hence young men of talent
are extremely liable to fall into the hab-
it, and so to get into connections with
professions and parties from which they
cannot afterwards shake themselves
free, 1t is for them great misfortune,
for generally it tends to frustratc the
benefits of what talent and education
they may possess. Powers and accom-.
plishmcnts that might have advanced
good objects for the public, are then
spont in a necessarily futile attempt to
obstruct them. Some false glory may
result. In other words, foolish few
will applaud. while the majority look on
with wonder and pity But in the long
run. all is found TO have been barren.
and wanting of true SAVIOR. Tue world
will at the utmost accord the need of
talents misapplicd. Even from those
who have all along been applaudng.
there will only be found that kind of
support which the reckless get from

Above her shook the starry lights:

To minge with the human race,

The fulncss of her flcc-
Grave mother of majestic works,
From her islc-altar gazing down,
Who, Go1-lilc, grasps the triple forks,
And, King like, wears the crown:
Her open eyes desire the truth,
The wisdom Of a thousand years
Is in them. May perpetual youth
Keep dry their light from tears;
That her fair form may stand and slime,
Make bright our days and light our dreams
