Of the Man.
Man is not only dual. but be may
also be said 70 be treble in nature, hay-
ing physical, intellectual and moral

have each OF these principal consiiti-
ents Of his being cultured and brought

fulness. All these natures are closely
related aud interdependent, but it is
often possible to be efficient or great in
any one Of them, and deficient in the
Others: or competent in two, and Lack
ing in one. Spencer was delicate; Pope,
an invalid; Baxter was often racked
with pain. Burns, Byron and Poe were
also morally weak or wanton But
good morals, believe, are absolutely
indispensable to the highest greatness;
and good physique is a very useful

very valuable factor in promoting
physical health and stamina. Pure air
and light also are the great elixir OF
life. Hippocrates, the father Of
medicine, z laid much stress on the re-
storative power OF unhampered nature,
discouraging much dragging. And
external nature, indeed, is one OF the
kindest nurses and greatest physicians.
And it is not only pleasant, but also very
healthful to take an occasional stroll
over open fields where the sunshine
nestles warm as an infant upon its
mothers bosom, or wander in the
green woods where the breezes whisper
like a despairing lover, and the wild
birds sing their roundelays to love-
drunk mates, and hang their nests upon
the wind-rocked boughs. Art thou sad

the open sky and watch the stars that

godliness, but it is evidently fountain
