Education Invaluable.

Education is a companion that no
misfortune can depress, no cline de-
stroy, no enemy ALLEVIATE, no despotism
enslave; at home friend, abroad an
introduction, in society an ornament,
in solitude a solace. 1t chastens vice,
guides virtue, and gives at once grace
and government to genius. Without
it, what is man? A splendid slave, a
reasoning savage, vacillating between
the dignity Of an intelligence derived
from God, and the degradation of pas
sions participated by brutes.-Cole-
