Many think genius is Monuv occult power Which impels the possessor on to distinction with little or no etlort on his pai l. Never was there a more mistaken idea. Button says: ? "Cieuiiis is only pntiencc." Derby's definition was similar, hut declares with more distinctness the ; cssoiplal pijUqiple: "Ucuilib'ls a ca pacity to lake an infinite trouble ttbotit things." Samuel Johnson saidi "Genius is large general powers turn ??d in si particular direction." When one is down in a deep well the stars above hi in may be seen in the day time, though invisible to others not so situated. So, wc think geniuses by having their spheres circumscribed i an bcc farther than tkosp who have no particular aim. Auothor author, and one whom we arc inclined to follow, says: "What genius does is to inspire the soul with a power to persevere in the labor that is needed." Lord Lytton was of the same opinion: "What men want is not talent, it is purpo.se, in other words, not the power to achieve, but the will to labor." So whatever genius is, be iL inhe rent capacity or high mental endow ment, it is nothing without earnest \ painstaking labor ; and that, loo, in some special direction. The true genius is none of your "Jack?of-all irades, 'master of none." Nature -.points out his vocation and he sticks to it. The object, then, of every one should find out that for which he is best adapted, and to bring nil his powers to bear in that direction. JIow many grand failures there aic, because this is not carried out. How many have missed their true vocation and arc occupying nichs they do not <it, and in which they arc cramped. We know one who is by nature and practice a good lfcchauic, but, through a mistaken sense of duty, he is laboring lor the ministry for which lua is poorly adapted. IJe thinks he must preach. There may be "o:ills" lo preach when one can dp that belter than anything else, but we arc sure the XiOid would never spoil, a;good mechanic to make a poor preacher. A Wise Move. Hon. John S. Richardson has in Ij-oduc-cd a hill,in Ihc House of Rep resentatives, providing for the appor tionment among the States and Ter ritories of the net proceeds of patents for the education of the people. '1 he .bill provides, that the share ot each dilate shall bo invested in United jStutcs bonds, the interest on which 'Vi be paid out of the Treasury annu ally. Under, tho provisions of the bill, the Southern States would, for iihe first five years, receive a large share of the funds. The bill, if it bc ji-o.nes a law, will be a great blessing ix> the Soul'.!, cslruggl!iig m her might to do the mighty educational work imposed upon her by emancipation. iVc will look with interest to the pas sage of the bill, and we hope Coli Richardson will not abate bis zeal in ids good wol le. n . ._,_ u.l jL> North they arc talking about pensioning teachers.

We want less "Profs" (!) und shinplrtstcrcd quacks and more who seek to elevate and adorn their falling* Give us more of such stnlf, pay us a fair salary and let us take care of ourselves, if you please. At the late commencement exor cises of Vanderhilt University, Nash yille, Tenn,, Miss Kate Lupton, /laughter of Prof. Lupton, completed the prescribed course of study, and received the degree of Master of Arts. Jt- was said she won the honor fairly and squarely. How docs this please the flippant critic of woman's mental capacities? Is tho mind of woman inferior to that of man?
