YOUNG MEfl II love to look upon a young man. There Is hiddrn potency concealed with in hls breast which charms and pains ne. ] s- en''y ask-What will that youth accomplish in after life Will he take rank with the benefaclors or sconrges of his race 7, Will he exhibit the the patriotic virtues of Hampden and Washing. ton. or the selfish craftiness of Benedict Arnold II he have genius, will he consecrate it, like Mill ton and Montgomtry. to hamanity and religion, or, like M"orn and Byron, to the polluted al,ars 'f passiona Ii he have mercantile skill. will he employ it to gralify his lust of wealth, or to ele- vale and bless hn,naniy. like sone of our mer- chant princes? If the gifi of eloqnence he hidden in his undevtloprt soul will he use it, like Sum-
 erfrld. in favor "f religion Of like Patrick Hem " and Adams. i" battling fer human rights: of will he, for mammon's sake, prostitute tha, girl for the use of tyranny and iu6deli,y, Will that immortal soul, which beams with intelip.nce and power in his c"nnrnance, ally itself with it's Creator, and thus rise to the sublime heiph, of destiny, or will it wage War with truth aad duty. and thus sink to degradation and death As | raise these great queries. l at once do reverence to ihe high potenIiality of his nature, and ,rembl for his fate.-Daniei Webster.
