í-iiiergy oí cnnracrer ís tne plnlosopher s stone . ofthis life. nnd should be engraven on each heart. ' It is that which lias peopled ihe temple of famc; that which has filled the historie pages with great ñames, and the civil and military world; that which hasbruui'ht a race f. 0111 bnrbnrUrn,drawn ihe veil from science. and developed the wondrous powers of" nature. It makes men great I and men rich. First or last it brings success. I Without it, Webster would have been a New Hnmpshire lawyer: T. Ewing would have been a Buck-eye snit boiler, nr.d Benjamin Franklin ! a journeyman printer, x Without it Demosihe nes would have stammered on to his grave, and Cincinnatus died a common soldier; Shakspeare would have been shot for poaclvng: Pope died áelling tape; Hoscie lived selling boer i!by the small;" and Napoleon gone out of the world a Corsican bully. With it each one hns not only done much good for himself, much for h3 day and generniion, but much ior the world in the past, the present and the futu -e. Energy of charactcr will do the same ihipg for any man in a small way that it hns done for ! those. Give the lawyer ereray of eharacter. mul he will succeed without tálenla, It is the secret by which the artist, the merchant, the scholar. and the mechanic arnve nt distinction andealth. If ihey fail once, they try agiin; no contrary winds beat them down. Tlie man wliu has energy ofcharacter will rise in spite o opposiiion. Givs a man enersy, and he is a made man. put him whcre you will, and surround liim by what you will.
