Isaac Newton. during the two years

ing his immortal work. only lived To calcu-
late and think. preserving no connection
with the ordinary affairs of life. Ii l. said

by some new conception. and would re-
main for hours together engaged in tracing

not get on his clothes before the mood
came on. he would ignore the necessity Of
eating. A waggish friend called one day.
and. finding him absorbed in thought, sat
down and ate the dinner which a servant
brought. When Newton came 10 himself

marked. II had forgotten that | had

No Excellence Without Labor.

The education. moral and intellectual. Of
every individual. must be. chiefly. his own
work. Both in morals and intellect. we
give the final shape tn our characters. and
thus become emphatically the architects Of
our own fortunes. How else could il hap
pen that young men. who have had pre-
cisely the same opportunities. should he
continually presenting us with such differ
ent results. and rushing to such opposite
deStinies.
Difference of talent will not solve il. be-
cause that difference j. often IN favor Of the
disappointed candidate. You will see issli-
ing from the walls Of the same college
nay. sometimes from the bosom Of the
same ~family-twO Young men. Of whom
one will be admitted TO be a genius Of high
order. the other scarcely above the point
Of mediocrity: yet you will see the genius
sinking and perishing in poverty. obscure
t.. and Indebtedness. while. on the other
hand. YOU will observe the mediocre one
Flooding his slow but sure way up the hill
of life. gaining steadfast footing at every
step. and mounting. M length. to cminen@
and distinction. an ornament to his family,
a blessing TO his country.
Now whose work Is thiSg Manifestly
their own. They are the architects Of their
respective fortunes. The best seminary Of
learning that can open it, portals 10 you,
can do no more than afford YOU the oppor-
tunity of instruction; but il must depend,
at last. on yourselves whether you will be
instructed or not. or to what point You
will push your instruction. We speak
from observation a certain truth :. there
l. no excellence without great labor" 1t
the certain decree of fate. from which no
power of genius can absolye YOU.
IL j. this capacity for high and long-con-
tinued exertion. this vigorous power Of
profound and searching investigation. this
carcering and wide-Sprading c%omprehen-
sion Of mind, and these long reaches Of
thought, that
''Pluck bright honor from the pale-faced moon,
or dive into the bottom Of the deep,
And drag up drowned honor by the locks"

achievements. which are to enroll your
