About as foolish notion q can lod4o
itself in the head of young man Is the
idea that he is genius, and. Aerefoye
industry is not necessary to his snccess.
The example Of Sheridan, who united
in himself the endowments Of three ex-
traordinary men, being . wit, . dramat-
ist and An orator, Is not unfrequently
mentioned rs supporting this notion.
Sheridan was . genius, and he was lazy.
His incidence, however, together with
his dissipafed and prodigal habits-tho
three are natural nssociatoe-weightod
him so heavily In LIES race that Il was
only now and then he appeared among
the foremost. He never reached the
goal. Even these appearances were due
to spurts Of hard work, 10 which he WAS
spurred by the necessities of the ooca-
sion or the protests of friends. I, :. =,
You know am an igporamus," he
would say to political associates, when
they urged him TO make speech on
some important measure before the
House Of Commons, ssbut instruct me,
and IN do my best" - % i."
They would cram him with informa-
tion, which his quick intellect mastered
and arranged. Then he would prepare
speech, writing the more brilliant parts
two or three times over. The greatest
speech Of his life was that which he de-
livered in the House of Commons,
against Warren Hastings. on the Ques-
ton whether he should be impeached
for his conduct while Governor General
of India. The best orators and critics
placed it above all ancient and
modern speeches. Z Logan, one
of Hastings defenders, saidi TO .
friend, after Sheridan had spoken for
an hour. IAN this Is declamatory as
sertion without proof" sHirRofi'g'I.
"a wonderful oration." he muttered.
when the orator had consumed another
hour. Mr.. Hastings has acted very
unjustifably, was his confession ut the
end Of the. third hour. The fourth hour
drew from him the indignant assertion,
"Mr- Hastings Is o moot strocjous Grim
mali" The orator went on, and Just a.
he was concluding-he spoke FIVE and
half hours-Logan exclaimed, /. OF All
monsters, the most enormous q Warrpn
