To illus trate, this more vividly to the mind, we will take for this purpose the students of some institution of learning. There is a class of perhaps twenty students, all of good natural sense, and able to perform their respective tasks, but some with much more ease than others. Thess pupils work their way through college, and go out to labor for themselves. It is in the.power of these young men to fill honorable positions in life ; but from past events but few of them would do so, as many of them make a bad use of their education. Then, if we have the good fortune to obtain useful educations, let us not squander these talents en trusted to our keeping, and end our days as paupers and drunkards, being a dis grace to our generation.
