What. How Acquired, An. Important;. A mistake is often made in tin use of tbe teruii, education and educated. We frequently bear it said, that MrA hai n fine education snd that Mr B is thorouh- ly educated gentleman, when it it wy well known that neither statement ia con firmed by the fac'a in either cane. The; are both omnivorous reuders and are the possessors of encyclopedic information, but they are not thoroughly educated. Tne reason that they are not thus educated is, that education does not consist in the ac cumulation of knowledge. A man may be well read and not be thoroughly educated. This will become apparent by an examin ation of the origin cf the word education. It is derived from the word educo, to draw out, and its primary meaning is tbe act of drawing out. It is a drawing out of the mind's posers and capabilities-a drawing out of the minds germinal energies, which have been implanted by the Creator. And it must include all tbe mental faculties, intellectual, moral and religious. The memory must be cultivated, the reasoning powers must be developed, the judgment . must be exercised, tho moral powers must be discipline!, and tbe religious instincts must be matured. Otherwise, education, mental development, will not be complete. Now, how can this be done? Only by a rigid course of mental discipline. This Is thp only royal road to thorough education. And the journey is not made in a few hours or days, on the "Lightning Express" but requires months and years for its com pletion. Mental development is a gradual process of unfolding the mind's germinal powers and capabilities, and is attained in a high degree of perfection only by long continued discipline and persistent labori ous effort. Well knovn artisans and fa ruous artists do not attain celobriety with out much and long continued practice. They do not become ronowned by the first or second production of native talent. The divinely implanted germ had to bo devel oped, drawn out, by much rigid thought and close application. And to it ii It) every department of mental development. Those who would stand high in any art or profession must attain eminence by education, by thorough disciplino of the mental faculties. Unde veloped genius never invented an appa ratus for the transmission of thought over continents and under oceans. It never util'zcd that all pervading, invisib'e, but mighty something called the electric fluid and made it man's obedient servant. It never soared nluft on tho wings of science and made a tour of discovery through the regions of space, measuring in its ll'gbt tbe distances of tho stars, and weighing the planets in its scales. It never truvers 0.1 all the well bea'cn highways o; thought, in all ages and countries, and then struck out into new nnd unexplored regions of original investigation in settrch of some unknown continent of truth. De fore it oould make any of these achieve ments, it bad to undergo a process of dis ciplinary preparation, advancing step by step in its onward and upward progress, until the object aimed at was accomplished. And tuch mutt always be the course pur- uctl by all that would attain to eminence in the achievements of mind. Such em inence is attained only by intense, concen trated mental application. It can never b: reached by the student win drp.Mids upon bis teacher for the solution of all dif ficult problems in miithemntici, for the analysis of all inlric.ito nnd complicated sentences in Knr.lish tiraininnr, nnd for tho elucidation of all knotty questions in men tal, moral, political or physical sclenco. If he does not grapple with I hose dillkul tios in his school days, he will not bo able to do it w'.ien he out Into the netiv ties of a l u-y woiM, nud comes in contact with thegre.it problems, which are puttirg In the test the best disciplined minds in iliuich and stnlo. Then he will have no teacher to whom he can npply for n solution of life difficult prob'ctits. Then Ills urd.vtl-ipC'l mind lit nut come to his rescue in case of emergency, an.l the wai uf thought menial discip'ire will a tcuu'e of regret to him all tlit days of his lite Then he will tee how much better It would have bern, if helmd tallowed the ciamplc of some of his class-mates, ,w ho were atwavs at the hraJ of the class, and seldom fout.il any problems which they couUl not solve. The boy who does his own thinking, gives his undivided attention to hit teacher, and is tegular In his attention, Is th? sne h a discredit to himself and his teacher, is a useful member of society, Mils positions of tonor and usefulness in church and state, wields a commanding influence in the com munity In which he Uvea ard thus mouhls the opinions of others. His mental tltscip" line gives hitn power, which he would not otherwise hare. This it the riason that some men who have net had the advantage ol ajco'.lece cdurtioa not unfrtquenlly out strip, in the race of life, many collte tad ustes, who have psaied through college but are iiot fdueat.d- The quetton, at the piescnt time, is not whether a man has hern graduated it seme Karopean univefii'y, at Harvard.

It Is hit through! mental discipline, and not the place of hit education, which givet him hit power, What wat It that made a tall, lank and awkward western, rallsplltter such a rolghiy power In fie salvation of his country at Ab raham Lincoln was? Not a diploma from a ranowned university, but hit self-acquired .mental discipline in the school of close ap dlication and intense thought, in combinat ion with good solid common sense. And if he watthut tuch a power in tSe trying timet In which he wat called to act, how much greater power would he have been, if he had had the advantages of a through college education befoie he entered upon the act. Ivitles of public life? II would then have . i . i .... 1 1 1 ,.i i . - - ....... Af reserved force, whlck he could have called into action in cite uf emergency, and the victory would have been more easily gained A well disciplined mind is almighty power, and the graduate who hat it is at a pre- miun and in demand, li is said that only one half of one per cent of tne population of ine United Slates go to college, and that this half per cent hold aixty per cent cf tbe highest oflicet of the coantry. There can be on doubt, therefore, abmitthe importance of a collegiate education. Thoroughly edu cated college graduatet are awaya In de mand; and never was there a greater de mand for such men than at tlia present time Tills Is an age of more t'..an ordinary Intel ligence, and ttio,e who would be leaieres in church or rtate must bs thotoubgly. educated. If they are not thus qualified for the pns itons which they hold, their leadership well be of short duration. They need not expect to command and retain a permanent or in creasing influence over those who are their equal or superiors in intelligence an-J nunta' discipline. Just now my private opinion is, that the great want of the government of the United States t its head qtiaiten Is, a higher order of state men man conversant with national and Internitional, law men whose nilnrfs are fitted by thorough mental ditci? 'ine for the government o' 65,030,00 o people gathered from all quarters of the globe; men who are christian patriots and seek the Interest of tbe who e country; Men who Can not be bought, and would acorn the IJea of selling their country for a few pieces of silver; men that are thoroughly educated, mentally, morally, and spiritual)-; mec, in the nights: tense of the term.
