Self-Made Men.

Biography has no greater end than to
record the lives Of those, who, beginning
their career, in an obscure and humble
position, have terminated them IN dis
tinction and emincnce and 10 present, for
the emulation of admring pos,erity. the
blIshI examples OF the great " self made, u
whose onl y passport TO fame was .beir
individual energy. industry, integrity,
and application. Biographical literature
abounds with these instances. The cata.
logue Of popes, emperors, statesmen,
soldiers, scholars, men of science, the
llterau, and merchants, will each contrib.
ute its quota Of the names of those talent
ed and perscvering men who have shed a
lustrc on their respective orders. To
select few at hazard : Pope Sextus VI.
was swinehcrd. Cardinal Wolscv, for
some time prime minister of England
during the reign Of Henry VIII, sprang
from obscurlIy. The Emperor Napoleon
|. was only lieutenant of artillery when
Louis WI Of France terminated his ex.
istence on the CORY scatlCld OF the Place
de Greve, Lord Give. Governor general
of India, and conqueror Of the great
Mogul. commenced his career as writer
in the East India Company'S service
La Place was !he son OF Normandy
farmer. Most Of NapoIeon's most cele-
brated Marshals, Murat, King Of Naples,
Ney, JunOt, Burnadottc, and others, rose
from the ranks. James Cock, the re.
nowncd circumnavigator, was laborer's
son. Clifford, the cSsayist and reviewer.
and the poet Bloomfield, were shoe.
makers. Lord Campbell, lord chief Jus.
tice of England, was a parliamentary
reporter, and was employed on the Noya-
ing Chronicle, a London daily paper as
also was Charles Dickens, formerly a
lawyers clerk. George s ephcuson, the
engineer, worked in coal-pit when
boy. FAraday, one Of the brightest lu-
mnaries Of science, was n book binders
assistant. Hugh MilIer,thc geoIogist and
editor, whose poslhumous works have
been recently published in this country,
was a stonemason. Burns followed ;he
plow. EIihu Burrit was blacksmith
But we need not stretch our eyes across
the Atlantic for instances Of seli.culturc
and advancement. America has, both in
public and private life, long array of
names from which we can Gull some Of the
greatest and most valuable examples on
record, and in which distinction has been
won, or fortunes amassed, in defiance of
every obstacle. Roger Sherman, Frank
lin, Washington, Astor, Rltenhousc,
Garry, Haihes, King the traveller, Bod
wditch, Smith, Whitney, Benjamin West,
and many others, may be cited for uni.
yersal encouragement and imitation.

TmUMPH OVER EyrL.--We are rewarded
for every triumph we make over tcmpta-
ton. | will suppose there are many who
have struggled against the vanity Of vain
pleasures many who have put down evil
thought with strong will many who,
altera long, and it may be an uncertain
conflict with the seduclions of the world,
at length have triumphed. Twill put it to
them whether. when they have combat
ted and SO prevailed against the evil, their
hearts have not softened within them,
whether they have not felt within their
bosoms seraphic influence? They have
so felt, and so it will ever be. No sooner
shall they have driven from them the
tempting demon of pride, Of vanity, of
angcr--no sooner shall the evil have left
them, than angels will come and miuiste.
unto them.-JerroH
