The moment that the man begins
to rise above his fellows, he becomes
a mark for their missels. The al.

able competitor, those below or
equal, as an impeachment to their own
progress. They make common
cause, accordingly, for his destruc.
ton. But this, if.he be of the right
moral stun, will rather help than
hurt him. If he be truly superior,
the roughenipg process to which
strife subjects him, eDdows him with
the most beneficial bardihood; and
he continues to ascend till he ceases
to he within the control Of either.
As soon AZ they discover that their

While he struggled up the ascent,
they would probably have preferred
to have seen him weak and vicious.
But, oucs upon the eminence, bis
adamaut must be of more perfect
proof than ever. His former fame
is now his foe, and the exaetions Of
