Aud from this report, which have thus

So, 900, COOS some fifty years ago. Here, then,
are your facilities, your opportunities.
To thos of you who with these are eager
ly desir rus of tableting your names for
some grand achievement, l. therefore, say,
equip yourselves with
THEIR PROGRESSIVE PHILOSOPHY.
With its golden key you may unlock
earth's enchanted chambers, over which no
man holds exclusive charter. Hazard the
heights that Humboldt scaled. Explore
the shoals of science where Agassiz daily
revealed in new and valuable developments
OF natures subtle and secret forces. Go,
like Maury, to trace and map the currents,
the channels and the reefipgs of the deep.
Learn of Franklin to lure from out its cloudy
home, tanned and harnessed for use, the
lightning into lecture room and laboratory;
or of Morse and Henry TO twist the noun.
| tain ore into speaking strands to stretch
under the surging seas to bear messages OF
moment or of love for you and me over
thousands Of miles in minute. Study
with Metius to take the seashore sands and
melting them into mystical mirrors, t.
trace, like Newton, the circling course o.
Gods glittering glories in the crystalline
expanse above, even as they cOursed in No
abs time five thousand years ago and sixty
billion miles away. Point your PROV lik,
Columbus, or travel like Livingstone to dis
cover new lands with hills and valleys tina

tarianism of a Howard in his circumnavi

pie. Do what you will, go where you may

the carpenter or OF the chief Justice bn
ifyou would prosper to the full you must
work with a will that can no more b,
damned up than you can dam up tn,
Amazon by spider threads, nor overthrow
than You can overthrow the Alps by
feather. Never mind
| WHAT MRS GRUMPY SHALL SAY,
Or how jealousy may slight, or how env,
may slander-envy that barks at eminenc,
as little dogs do at stranf ers. that sokens a
ones success and hates the excellence |
cannot reach, envy that iorges faults ant
tralllies, and feeds upon them like the sala
mander that loves the consuming flame.
Nor do care how poor OF purse any o
you may lie; the road to wealth
h0nors, happiness is alike open ALTO
heaven helps them who help themselves
And indeed though it may not be so, in tru,l

times but it does seem I,
