Too Clever

Ine boy who is generally spoken oil
as being very smart is an object OF
COMMUNICATION. And this in spite of the
extravagant laudation always his to
command, the envy and despair with
which he is viewed. by the indolent and
obtuse, and the general petting he re-
ceives at his home and, perhaps at his
school. That he is clever does not
admit of doubt. Every one owns it.,
and none more complacently than
"young hopeful him self; but it does
not follow that it will be good for him.
Unless, indeed, he be subject to very
delicate treatment, we may even say
that the chances are it will be positively
injurious. Such remark re Iuires ex-
PLANTATION. First of all, then, it must
be remembered that these early mani
festations of precocity are seldom long
lived. Like morning mists, they are
exceedingly evanescent. The infant
powers, preternaturally developed, too
soon decay. If they are lasting, they
must be gradually developed. Their
growth should be not that of the larch,
but of the oak. To force. as is often
