WHAT WILL HE DO WITH ITP

I \ '
? , WBOT H.i ADAMS.
-f-
I remember onee to have read a
•tory in Which was rootled ajrap-c
- this ancient legend : A young
poet, musing by -moonlight, near the
Ivory Gate of Dreams,saw suspended
high in air a golden temple aOOrhed
with trutHfl a>ul JMHMMAita ointtM
" *•“ ' OWSWW wtflt- wttrtjw nltffiTjva
Within, it was lighted by lambent
jewels, whoso brightness rivalled the
epleuddr of the stars. From If* lofty
height hung down to earth a ladder
of dagger-thorns. At the foot of the
ladder stood a stoney image, its left
hand pointing upward to the temple,
its right gasping a sword, as if to
strike; on whose gleaming blade was
written this strange device: “My
wound* never heal.”
Theyonth awoke,and much he mar
veled what-this vision meant. Believ
ing it an omen sent from heaven to in
'fluencodiis destiny, he ran to ask the
Delphic Oracle to reveal the mystery;
but this was tho only answer he
Oonld obtain : “The God* have given
him a chance: IVhdl will he do' with
it.”
Notwithstanding this reply, tho
pool weni on his way rejoicing; be
came hisown Interpreter, and after
wards filled iho world with bis fame.'
Now whetimr there is wisdom in
an oracle, orln a multitude of coun
sellors; or whether it is best to evolve
from ear own Inner consciousness tho
answer to this, the greatest question,
that ever pit axled tiro minds of men,
every one must decide for himself. It
is tho key-nole to tlte dram* of life,
w hot her the actors bo few or many.
It is a quaint theme with wblult to
point a moral; nor would Ibo sur
prised to hear the echo of tho old re
frain. “What will lie do with it ?”

Such praise as this Gonitis bestows
only on her own kith and kin. Who
can find out her deep secrets? Who
can trace the sources of her grace,
beauty and power ? As well attempt
by disseoting the song-bird’s deli .ate
throat to dud ont the cause of his
melodious notes. There is no need to
warm theohildren of Genius, as Wol
sey charged Cromwell—“to fling away
ambition, because by this tho An
gels tell." No need to point to the
temple above and eay thla is the way
to Immortality, but beware of the
cruel thorns/ No need to tell that the
stony image ts Iheooid,unsympathetic
world, that care* nothing for your
fate unfit you have fought and won
the battle. Nor that the gleaming
sword, whose wonnds never heal, Is
the vata teg ret, the undying remorse,
like an unquiet ghost forever seeking
rest yet tinding none in the hearts of
those, who remember they were once
afraid to etinrti upward; or who must
ever recall talents misapplied and op
portnnltles neglected.
It is true that Nature, when she
makes anew creature, inspires It with
love for the work she intends tf-to do.
Wo recognize the dlvlue gift, that
makes one mind superior to another;
the only surprise is that the world
should ever have fallen into tho fool
ish habit of regarding genius ts sub
ject to no law; but as a law uuio'tself.
Yet/why should not a man of genius
be as noble and honorable as it is pos
sible for humanity ? If we are that
whieh we contemplate, surely, he has
the greater chance of attaining excel,
lenre. *
What Mrs the enthusiast and hero
worshipper to this common sense?
He confesses the vices and crimes of
genlvs, but says all these thing arc
only incidental to greatness; and the
evil they do Is more than overbalanced
by the good that assures the progress
of the world. Napoleon had some of
the virtues of Cincinnatiis, and more
wladoraof than Justinian, though he
yielded to the vices of Sylla and of
Marius. When Bryon touched his
harp, nations stood entranced to see
his genius soar like the eagle in the
full blaze of their sun. He heard the
battle-cry of Greece, amt the llght
iiingofhls wrath leaped from Alp
to Alp to bluet her cruel foes; and
yet Byron wasted his lito in wanton
dalliance with lovo and wine.
But this argument is no defence ot
those, wTttThtvS" shamefully abused
their talents, or neglected their op
portunities. They have already been
I tried and convicted at the bar of His
tory. It may be true that If every he
ro, whom we can now recall, had
made the choice of Hercules his own,
he might have made a miserable
failure. But who shall say that such
failure was the necessary result of the
,chance at stake? Admit if you
i please (and I confess we must)
* fa&imj that shapes onr idt.
Rough hew ih*m bow wo will;**
Yet this fact does not rob mau of
his necessary liberty; and so long as
lie has @iat, he is responsible for bit
own opinions and actions.
It it a great possession to be a
scholar. It is the greatest boon heav
en can grant to be a man of .genius.
But in proportion to the value ef the
gift,he should strive the more to prove
himself every Inch a man. The num
ber who can thus adorn life, is, indeed
small, when compared with that large
wtajoriry. wlm do the world** work/'
We who go forth, to-day, from this
annual festival of letters, to bear our
share of the burden, belong to that
majority. I know not If there is a
genius among us, but if so, let him
not foiget that to whom much is giv
en of him will mnch be required;
while to those, who have only fair
talcnts,the universal law ef compensa
tion brings this comfort; “the race is
not always to the swift nor the battle
to the strong.” There are some things
so near akin io genius that like (he
tortoise competing witli the hare, they
often win tho victory. Scholarship
alone is but a wooden staff. Add to
yonr scholarship pluck and perse
verance, and you have the same staff
shod with iron, and it will last a
lifetime.
But, whatever be our severtl gifts,
whether we know little or much, he
is the wisest among us who knows
how little he knows. Let no young
graduate think he it new educated.
Hit mind is like the garden of Lueul
lus, not yet pruned and dressed by the
hand of it master. Only the pro
logue to the poem ha*yet been writ
ten ; only the prelude to the music has
been sung ; the picture it not yet ready
for the wall; the statue is still shroud
ed iu its canvas; the young orator,
with pebbles in hi* mouth, is still de
claiming amid the roar of the waves
the child-philosopher still picking up
shells along the shore of the infinite
ocean of Truth!
A noble yonth once asked Socrates,
“What are the requisites lo insure
the success of the young citizen T' and
his reply was, “honor eirlue and val
or” * * * Thete, Indeed, are the
pedestal, the coin inn. and the entabla
ture of character. No man wattling
anyone of these deeervee to succeed. No
permanent fame Is possible wtihout
them. He who has them, either a* a
heritage, or by conquest of himself.
Is like a chivalrie knight, who is al
ways looking well to his armor, re
paring the chinks, or keeping it trem
corroding rust. Around Iho orbit of
such a character, as stars of the dost
magnitude, revolve manhood’s ideas
of God, Immortality and Duty. We
boast of our ago, when civilization is
both a science and an art—when
knowledge has increased, until >*
stones of tho field preach to us dall?
sermons, yet never before in the his
tory of the world, did men need mors
the key that unlocks the mystery of
life: never before did the state more
demand good citizens; never before
did the chiireli more need true inter
preters of a pure and simple Gospel!
O friends! never again, never again
shall we need at now the love of those
who ioyo the strength of those
who are strong!
For him who it about to put on the
armor of real wartere. the question is
not what he might, could, would, or
should do with it? for these words
imply indifference, or dictation to his
decision. Nor is it what shall he do
with it? for this robs hint of hi* free
agency. We do not ask what is
his chance, but knowing he has one,
weask what ho will do with it? This
leaves him still a freeman ami
alone with his own conscience.
Counsel him, guide him, help him, if
you will, yet the.ifna!decision should
rest with himself.
No man is fit to guide his own life,
much Uss the lives of others, unless
he Is lord of himself. He should re
member that his own body Is a living
temple more gloriously beautiful than
any Imagination esn rear fer Fame,
though perched as high as Orion and
blazoucd with, the light of Venus and
of Mars. Ilis mind, though fiuite
has capacity to enshrine as a
lifelong guest the Infinite and
Eternal l None but a scholar can
reach this high ideal and feel like
Bias, the Greek philosopher, who,
when asked to name the greatest of
his earthly possessions, said, “It is
mystlf.”
Shall a single shadow fall tipon
this time and place by any ev.l fore
boding of tbo future? What shall I
say to those, who having many
chances ot success, yet may not suc
ceed? A noble teacher, once the
pride, ami still the boast, of this Uni
versity, answered this question, when
he said, “It is wisdom to prepare for
/p/T i rather than for success.” Yet
this we know, that when opportunities
do occur, we can do .our duty by being
ready for them. Then itlailnrebe
(he result, still be patient, bold'and
self-reliant like Ulysses iu the cave of
Polyphemus.

hopes to quench his agony of thirst.

lures him on, until he faints and dies,
leaving neither footprint, nor morsel
of stone to mark to sad a journey.

O Cwsarl we who are about to die,
salute you. Thus the brave gladia

tpeach, I know, yet ttx who close
our College life to-day, feel the settv
bianco so liko tne reality, wa would
fain pause awhile, to ask that one
more bkmsiug mingle with this, our
last farewell! Out feet and
already turned toward the
threshold. We shall *oa pass be
yond the portal. These long familiar
scene*—now ours, bat soon to be us
longer oors—like exhalations, will
vanish away. The onrtain of the
Past will fall behind us at yondor
door; ami we shall stand fit the arena
ofthe futarr, with such a heavy sen-*
of lews .on our hearts—e loss of some
thing we con not well explain—that
the Angels of Love and Kegret will
find us, like the disciples of old, look
ing up into heaven 1 Though every
soul is a mystery to every other, each
one knowing its own joy* or sorrow
best; yet all of us niut feel this com
mon bereavement, which llko the >w
fuhie* of Death itself hushes Into si
lence or softens every harsh judgment.
Those who havo had our
youth In keeping these few
happy ycats new closing,
have done their duty fafthfbllv and
well. It yet remains for us to do ours
by proving ourselves worihly of their
pateruel care. The fault will be in
us, and not in oar stars, U we are-un

Bulls H necessarily fa*ed that tbo
: beok we close to-day 'shall abut for

in which w have seen onr own faces
reflected so long, be looked in an eter
nal frost, while the light still plsva
golden on its surface, because we no
longer stand upon the shore? Ah!
that depends on the answer to the
question. u What wilt he do with
it!” Kufus Choate.* the greatest
scholar and lawyer among Americans,
whether living, or dead, boasted that
for i-rfy years he had kept pace with
all the classes of his beloved Universty.
Gladstone, the greatest minister, since
Pith England ever had, still keeps
bright the memony of these days by
criticisms on Homer and Euripides.
And so may all. wlio, loving llteia

divine harmony tho dreams of Con

One by one! see my Companions
pass before me armed and equipped
for the world’s battle fields. Every

with it?”
He can not answer us. It is ret
too early in tnis. his young life's
misty dawn. Aud so I grasp each

"Lik. a aiar,
