The Scholar and the Man.

Colonel PARSONS has just visited that
abode of literary genius, Lexington, Va.
He addressed the people during his solourn
in a lecture relating chiefly to the physical
constitution Of that wonderful region OF
our happy Virginia land. In the course OF
his remarks lie pointed very timely suS-
ccstion, which may be styled "the scholar
and the man." We make this brief extract
from his lecture:
"Dare T speak to the teachers in these
great institutions? No man shall De later
than I in Understanding the power and
pleasure that comes through high culture,
but it is :, bad day when the man is lost IN
the scholar. There are few: sadder sights
than the sensitive youth who go forth from
colleges into life for. which they are not
fitted TO fight In which they may fall; TO
life in which every appointed paFh is closed
or crowded, and no strength, no axe, no
star is given to insure another. Is there
not duty ana good fortune before you 7
Would it not bea good character that YOU
taught men how to live, armed them for
victories, and showed them an open field at
YOUR gates, and that every one Of your thou
