The address by Mr.. Watkins was q happy
effort well received. He is quite popular
in this vicinity, and both his presence and
his words were sources Of pleasure to his
audience. He gave illustrations OF what
tie poor and obscure may become by rea-
son OF industry and intelligent applica'
ton, and emphasized the maxims that nc
man rises above bis conception of life, and
that any man of ordinary intelligence and
right means has scarcely any limit to his
accomplishments. He referred to tho ex'
banding and ennobling influences Of Chris:
| tiapity in the education OF the world, and
asserted that boys and girls should have
in their lives at home aud at school An ap'
probation of their own immortal worth
and q proud self consciousness of the
| capabilities of the souls which they pos.
sess. He discussed the question What lie
the boy Worth ?" Aud in conclusion
said that each of the creatures discussed
must ask this question, and his answer
should be his destiny.
