Mr. Carnegie has just been telling the people of Covan that "the finest I heritage for a young niau is poverty." ' This la hit* owu belief, and It was also the belief, he affirms, of President Carlleld. Admitting the general cor rectness of this severely Spartan dictum. still, the tirst criticism that oc- ; i curs Is that perhaps President Gar ; field ami Mr, Carnegie are not alto ' gether unprejudiced witnesses. Thcv j | were both lx?m poor, "sprung from a i stock of lowly parentage;" by the na | live force that they possessed they , lsitb rose to high distinction, and caine to fill a large space In the field of view of the world's feme. For them the hardy climate of early povcrty and struggle proved to be the best. But docs it follow that It must . therefore be the best for every one. I for those natures, for Instance which, while gifted with fine and high possibilities. lack the uatural hardihood and tough. stern strength of men like President tJarfleld and Mr. t'nrnegie? Almost inevitably these mfchty men. when they have reached the crowning slope, cannot help thinking that what proved an invigorating discipline for them must be the same to every one. Hut is such a generalization warranted by facts? In Kngland the climate of a conservatory would lie the very worst for the oak, hut It is the best for the vine. May not human peculiarities of gifts of genius and innate jiossibilities of "deeds of high cmprize" similarly differ? Knervating surroundings, of course, must in every case he injurious, but what would bo sickly enervation in one case may be "he \?-ry breath id' life in another The frost in which some minds flourish and. like cmlars, fling back the wintry storm, may blight others Into frost bitten ruin. John Mutiny, 1 Mr. Carnegie's frleml. was probably not nursed in the lap of luxury. I?ut ' lie hud not to struggle with Mr. Carnegie's or wi h President ( artudi's rough early surroundings, lie obtain* ed the quiet culture of Oxford. Mis , mind grew and "flourished In a grove" of academic learning Is it likely that as a i>oor lad he ever could have 1 climbed his rough way up mountains ; of pig Iron or of steel ingots to w.tv.* the gold flag of a multi-millionaire at the top? Or from a log cahin In the I ' backwoods have forced his way to the White House? Hut. besides admitting j' that Mr. Carnegie's and President (Jarlleld's undoubtedly great qualities were of a kind which early hardship developed, may It no; he true that the J ? development would not ha"<o led to success unless the conditions of Amor* j ican life had heeu of a character which made such sucess possible?
