Great, But a Failure.

A loving, gentle boy was Samuel Tay-
lor Coleridge. When he was All old
man, known as poet, philosopher, and
conversationalist, his tender, gracious,
benign face made his friends adore hun.
The sympathetic nature of tee boy
shines out in an incident of his school
days. He was rushing Through the
street to be in time for school, when he
ran against an old woman's apple-stand
and upset it.
"Oh. you little devip' she shouted af-
ter him, as he rushed on.
Looking back, he saw the mischief he
had done. Instantly he returned all
gathering up the scattered fruit, apollo,
gized for his heeGlessness.
"On, YOU little ANGELO exclaimed the
Modified woman, as she patted his head,
He carried the same loving heart
through ,ife, but not the same energy to
amend the blunders of his own life. He
attracted great men by his spacious, sub
tie intellect, and fascinated them with
his marvellous power Of "talk.''
Wilson. the severest Of critics, spoke
of COlerldge's conversation as "eloQuent
music without a dscord; full, ample: in
exhaustible, almost divine" In his lof-
test moods he spoke like one inspired.
The ear was delighted with the melodi-
Gus words that flowed from "an epicure
in sound" But there was little nourish~
ment in these musical utterances of one
who seemed to have given himself up To
''the lazy luxury of poetical outpouriug"
Though Colerldge was the best OF taik-
ers, he was the worst Of doors. Indo-
lence and opium-eating begat this lis
crepancy. His slavery to what he called
1.-The accursed drug" impaired mis- mind
and embittered his life. His genius was
mastered by his Incidence. He never
learned that no genius is great en ough
to exempt its possessor from patient in
dustry.
His friends environed him with great
expectations. He died fulfilling scarce
~ any Of them, because lie had neither
the industry which works steadily, nor
the energy that M .kes one achievement
a stepping stone to higher attainments.
Such a life is full of warning to young
men of genius. It says to them: "You
will fail, unless you learn in YOUTH to
bend your neck to the yoke ofpersever-
ing industry and keep yourselffree from
the slavery of an evil habit

A Pleasant Occasion.

A representative of the journal
was invited on last Friday after
noon by Prof. j. W. f. Lowrey to
attend the closing exercises of his
school. In compliance with the
invitation the Journal deputed the
writer to attend. He was not only
pleased and entertained by the
exercises of the occasion but abso-
lutely edited. The music, lead by
Mrs. Guerry, the accompli he'd
teacher, and seconded by thor
oughly drilled class Of Young la
dies, was superb. The class evi-
denced thorough training and re-
Elected great credit upon its worthy
instructress. As a musician and
teacher, Mrs. Query has but few
equals, and the writer was pleased
to learn that her efforts were so
highly esteemed by her patrons.
The orations,. essays, selections,
speeches, etc, were all good and
showed that Prof. Lowrey and his
faithful assistant, Miss Parker,
had performed well their duties.
The visitors were all pleased with
the afternoons entertainment and
went away feeling that they had
been we'll repaid for their pains.
The young ladies and young men
deserve especial mention, but it is
impossible to speak Of all individ-
dually, and, therefore. it is best,
perhaps, not to individualize at all.
As teacher, no man in this sec
ton of the state is better known
than Prof. Lowrey, and to his
many friends and admirers it
must be highly gratifying to know
that he is meeting with such mer-
tied success. The children will,
no doubt, enjoy their Christmas
vacation and be prepared to enter
school again after the holidays
with renewed zest and life. ae
Journal extends to each and every
one Of them many kind wishes for
a pleasant and happy holiday.
