WHY SO FEW SUCCEED.

Life ID q continued battle, in which defeat
is suGered more often than victory is won.
Along ito fiuty path the footprints Of dis
sster are every where seen, and by the way
side are thickly strewed the graves Of the fall
On. Why is it that so few succeed2 Why
il the hope with which youth set out so Of
ten desolated, and the goal Of ambition so
rarely reached? The strife is to often COM
menced without a struggle. The young inn
pulsive, and ardent think they have but to
reach forth the hand to pluck the fruit, that,
like the apples of the Hesperides, is only to
be gained after the highest endurance and
the most patient perserverance. Seldom
does genius give the tongue of fame that Sc
cures distinction without effort. Toilsome
study and persistent investigation and pa
tient experiment are tho only modes Of
realizing q power to create, or even to re-
combine, 50 rs to subdue new elements to
human use. Physical as we'll as mental
training is necessary for the accomplishment
of life.yictories. But when the intellect is
well cultivated, the bodily energies are Of
ten uncultiyated. The mind, like friction
upon machine not fabricated, wears out
the mechanism OF the body, and its growing
weakness and disorder nullify the power it
envelopes. How often a blanched cheek,
emaciated limbs, and feeble muscles mark
the successful student, who drops into the
grave when he is about to reach the goal OF
his aspirations We of America have much
to learn on this point. A system Of intellec-
tual forcing culture, habit of putting boys
to the business Of men, has produced spe-
cies Of precocity which, however much i,
NAV awaken astonishment at the wonderful
Developments, will leave-nay, has left
manifold evils. At the rate We are now
progressing, the time is not far distant
when such thing as boys will be entirely
unknown. Now the lads Of ten wear the
manners of maturity, and the girls Of less:
or age are often women in all but physical
development. To the want: OF physical!
culture there is also to be added neglect OF
moral les sons. What school in America
teaches "the humanites" as they should be
taught? Where is principle laid down as
the basis of all great effort: Honorable &C
ton, not in the received sense, which is
promptitude in resenting any conceiv ed insult
or suspected affront, but honorable action,
meaning that squared upon the golden rule,
"do unto others as you would they should
do unto you,' inculcated as the highest
guarantee of noble results 4? Our teaching
is wrong our example is wrong; and the
result is that we see fewer Of those men self :
made, and strong in rectitude as the eternal
truth, firm in principle as the living rock,
nure in character as the mountain stream,
and vigorous in mind and body rs the stur-
dy oak, who shed honor on our early his
tory.-N. o. Picayune.

ALL WEATHER GOOD.


The following happy allusion to the wea-
Their was made by Edward Everett, in his
recent speech at Binghampton, N. Y, which
was delivered in q rain storm:
Sir, to speak more seriously, should be
ashamed Of myself if it required any pre-
meditation, any forethought, to pour out
the simple and honest illusions of the heart
on any occasion, sir good day, sir, not
withdrawing its commencement. l have
heard from one friend and another this morn
ing-kind enough to pay his respects to me,
knowing on what errand had COME have
GOMEZ have heard from one and another
the remark that he was sorry that we hadn't
good day. 1t was, it is true, raining in
the morning. But it is good day, not
withstanding the rain. The weather is good
sunshine is good rain is good. Not good
weather, sir ? Ask the farmer into whose
grains and roots there yet remains some of
its moisture, to be driven by to-morrow's
sun. Ask the boatman, who is waiting for
his raft to 20 over the rapids. Ask the
dairyman and grazier if the rain, even at
this season is not good. Ask the lover Of
nature if it is not good weather when it
rains. Sir, one may see in Europe artificial
waterworks, cascades constructed by the
skill Of man at enormous expense-at Chats
worth, at Hosse Cassel, and the remains of
magnificent water works at Marlays, where
Louis XIV. lavished uncounted millions of
gold, and thus according to some writer's,
laid the foundation of those deplctions Of
the treasury which brought on the French
Revolution. The travellers thinks it q great
thing to see these artificial water-works,
where little water is pumped up by creak-
ing machinery, or a painting steam engine,
to be scattered in frothy spray; and do We
talk of its not being good day when Gods
great engine is exhibited to US; His imperial
waters works sending up the msts and va
rors to the clouds, to be rained down again
in comfort and beauty and plenty upon
grateful and thirsty man? Sir, as a mere
Qualification of the taste, know nothing in
nature more sublime, more beautiful than
these, descending in abundance and salu-
brity from the skies. (Applause.)
