ADDRESS TO SCHOOL BOYS. 
CHAPTER H. 
We closed the former chapter of the ad¬ 
dress to you, boys, by a brief statement of the 
manner in which dunces and blockheads are 
manufactured in colleges and high schools. A 
diploma, although prima facie , is not conclu¬ 
sive evidence of erudition; and one titled fool 
is sufficient to throw discredit and suspicion 
upon all other men of the same rank. 
On the other hand, we see boys who never 
had the advantages of any school but that of 
their own district, and even that only for a few 
months in the winter, rising up to be ranked | 
amongst the great men of their time; sitting on » 
the bench of judges, becoming orators, states¬ 
men, and philosophers, and leaving names 
which are reverenced by after generations.— V/E8TE 
Why is this? was it their ignorance that made .. — . . . . .. 
them great, or was it the learning of those works; bu t j g because the former class must 
college-men spoken of before that made them () f course be educated, in order to succeed.—

CONSOLATIONS, 
Affectionately inscribed to Mary P-, o» 
the Death of her Brother. 
BY MRS. MARCIA W. BJJDNCTT. 
There's a vacant place beside your hearth, 
There’s a vacant place in your hearts as well; 
There’s a saddened strain in your soup of mirth, 
That falls on the ear like a funeial knell; 
There’s a shallow thrown on your onward way. 
There’s a gathered cloud in your once bright sky, 
There are heart-ties rudely torn away, 
That quiver with speechless agony. 
There's a manly form you will see no more, 
There are eyes whose lustre is faded now; 
There are lips whose melody too is o’er, 
There’s a shrouded form, and a coffined brow; 
There’s a dear one gone from lhe household hand, 
And his place no other love can fill; 
There is missing the clasp of a brother’s hand, 
And a brother's heart lies hushed and chill. 
There's a quiet place where the sunbeams bright, 
Rest on the sod the livelong day, 
Where the moonbeams gently fall at night, 
And the wild bird carols his merry lay ; 
Where the soft South wind in its wanderings by, 
Calls forth the flow’rs from the earth’s damp breast, 
And there, when his heart with hopes bent high, 
You pillowed iiis head in a dreamless rest. 
You have turned aside from the gentle word, 
With an aching heart, and a tearful eye, 
And f. It that the grief which your bosom stirred 
Lay too deep for human sympathy; 
That the soothing tones from human lips, 
Though prompted by warm hcaits fond and truo, 
Hail no power to lighten the dark eclipse, 
That had suddenly settled on life for you. 
There is left of the lost one a memory blest, 
There's the hope of meeting beyond the sky, 
In a brighter world where the weary rest. 
And tears are wiped from each mourning eye I 
Where the broken links of the household chain, 
Are reunited no more to part; 
And the weary load of grief and pain, 
Is removed for aye from the breaking heart 1 
Burlington, Ky., 1S54. 
THE DISPIRITED MINISTER. 
Some, there are, whose apparent success is so 
meagre that they, and perhaps their friends 
also, question at last the wisdom of their choice 
in entering the ministry. They are not elo¬ 
quent. They arc slow of speech and of u slow 
tongue. Their voice never holds in suspense 
charmed thousands. The “bees” did not 
“drop honey” upon their lips as ihey lay in 
thc cradle. At first from necessity, and at 
length from choice, they seek out the solitary 
places of the land as the fields of their labor. 
Even there, they appear to human view to be 
ili adapted to their work. Ruder men than 
they despise their refined virtues. Ignorant 
men assail their wisdom. Brethren whoso zeal 
is without knowledge, rebuke their unostenta¬ 
tious fidelity. Perhaps the best years of their 
lives are spent in the apparently vain effort to 
vindicate the simplicity of the gospel against a 
perverted popular taste. Good men among 
their parishioners are silent, while had men plot 
mischief against them, because they will not 
degrade their pulpits into mere market stalls, 
and because the soul of a true-hearted preacher 
cannot transmigrate into the form of a politi¬ 
cal manager. They are not keen men. They 
do not lift up, nor cry, neither is their voice 
heard in the streets. They have long since 
learned to merge the question of mere pro¬ 
fessional success in that of a humble discharge 
of a present duty. Theirs is the dignity of 
unconscious wisdom. Their labor is in the 
dark. They remind us of those miners whose 
days are spent under ground, and who, from 
youth to old age, scarcely see broad daylight. 
Yet an unseen eye is upon these buried pastors. 
They preach the preaching that God bids them, 
and they do preach with power. A few 
choice spirits, unknown like themselves to the 
great world, and yet acquainted with God, do 
spring in response to their words. The best 
affections of the best Christians amung their 
people do cling to them. To such they are 
eloquent, “beyond all Greek, all Roman fame.” 
Through these few who have power with God, 
their work is destined to live. No human wis¬ 
dom may he able to tell how; but it will live, 
it may live through the agency of some Chris¬ 
tian mother, whose intellect such a pastor has 
instructed, whose tastes he lias enlightened, and 
whose heart he has wanned, and who poms 
all the powers he has given to her into the 
training, lbr a lew infantile years, of a son 
for whom her dying faith is, that his voice 
shall yet be heard on the pentecostal day, 
on the banks of the Ganges, or of a daughter 
whom a crown of martyidom awaits in Cen¬ 
tral Africa. It may live in the labors of a 
young man whom such a pastor once carried 
in his bosom as a chosen lamb of his flock, -.uid 
whom at length lie has the means of send¬ 
ing into the honorable places of the ministry 
of our own land, and who will one day come 
on a pilgrimage to the grave of that pastor as 
to the grave of a father, aud will say, “ I owe 
to that man more than I ever gained at the 
schools. 11c it was who taught mo how to 
preach. 11c formed my tastes for the pulpit 
lie taught me to reverence my work, lie 
made me bow down and tremble at the tlio’t 
of it. Yet he taught me too, how to trust.— 
He breathed into me the spirit of repose, with¬ 
out which a Christian preacher is as a reed 
shaken by the wind. 1 expect that I, and the 
souls whom God has given me, shall praise him 
forever for the creation of that man.”— Cheever. 
An Extraordinary Preacher. — “ He is 
an extraordinary man; if you hud once heard 
him, you would be disgusted with all others.” 
“ 1 shall then take care not to go and hear 
him; on the contrary, l seek for a man who 
shall inspire me with such a love and respect 
for the Word of God, that 1 should be but the 
more disposed to hear it everywhere.”— Fenelon. 
No degree of temptation justifies any do* 
gree of sin.
