It ia true that in such a social statu virtue lb not the common property, because difilcuft. of acquiroment; this adds to Its possesioa the element of merit. Human merit ia m« Usurer not by what man accomplishes, fiut by what he ovencomes in accomplishing, apd as no other social state present* sqcb multiplied enticements to vice and ob stacles to virtue, so no other state can develop instances of such perfect full grown manhood.

It; Iwiil therefore poM. on to x*y * tew words to this youth of this com munity tboe«, who witli Uieir own,; are to assist in working but the des tiny of cur State. Your ways In lif£, my young fr>nis, are not as were your fat bur's. Itose#' do not lie thick In your pathway. Prosperity does not with outstretched arms rush forth to meet you on your way. Virtue woes not vith Sipen voice and Clrcean charm constraining constraining your footsteps to her bower. Tbe true, the honorable path- fay to success In life ia steep and rug ged and tortuous, and beset with dan ger at every step, and he who disting uishes himself by keeping therein, must have a lions heart and be armed at every pgint as was the fabled knight of old, Who went forth to do battle with the giant and tbe dragoon. To k.upw your enemy and where he to to- be fbunjai, are two important steps towards defeating his purposes. Know then that lurking within your own boacmb are to be found your dead liest fges. Avarice, foalousy, malice, enVy. these are ao*ie of .the beads of that Hydra monster which is ever on ths alert to do you bans. As most comprebenelve of vicious element aud pernicious in its H^egts upon the character^ let me caution yon to strive against sordid selflabbee*. The man whose thoughts^ deal and aflectiohs find their limit wtt! the circle of his individual interests, never gofog beyond In axiapathj with the joys or woeqof bis fellow mac, is the rubbish which mediocrity piles in the scales u> weigh against merit, and are marks of un gentle breeding. With brneay brow and boasting words the braegartee- ks to hide the craven in his heart. True merlt-oeeds.no obtrusive art to bring It Idto notice and its most attractive trait Is its-modesty. 'Finally, youn« man venerate the past as you gsze down the cellonede of time, every column of which re flects the glowing virtues of y< ur fath ers, let tb** light and beant^ there from, which must chatn your admin* tiou, excite your-emtilafl^n, It is for you, a-S4(fbje<;' of self- grat- uiotion that dtaftny naa pljuoed vonr lives w'tbln tb* tnAnriiee of those happy days; tl>a y/>u live and move In the shadow of the rulua ©f that irrand old temple of virtue i.adflflre in daily communloa wi*h those who once worshipped within its sadred walls and burned sacrifices upon ite.holy altar.
