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 ?” "Ho* Wsmtlfal Ia TmilM ho* hrtjtil u rlmbu, With It lUilslons, MptrsUous. dream*, to It* aullllmo MUlMlty nl fHh. 'B* thou romoro.l,’ it to the mountain Htth And with ambitions feet, aeeore and pfmnT, Aaoand aha tedder laantn* on the elotfd. M 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. When all the blandiahnente of life are gone. Cowar da sneak to death brave live on." I Again,lhercjis the mOh, wjiom fco count el can guide, go mortal hand can save. It is he who jp£<t no filed purpose; but pursues aijf illusion, a treacherous mirage of life; amt though in the midst ot thousands ot his fel lows, he perishes in the desolate desert of the world. I mvself have-seen such fkti by the way! tTml?rWe mocking -skies, over the bunting waste; no breath of wind oor sheltering cloud. Yet far awav near the horizon the cool water lies,its silver ripples plash ing against the sands where the tali palm tree* spread their welcome shade. His glazed eyes.his parched lips and bleeding feet tell of his desperate Strait. One last effort more and he hopes to quench his agony of thirst. He makes it; but alas! the vision lures him on, until he faints and dies, leaving neither footprint, nor morsel of stone to mark to sad a journey. Torn with me now from this gloomy picture. Send forth a cheer. Log and food, throughout the wooded plain for him, who by heroic ettdeav. or snatelics victory from the very jaw* of defeat. tineas step* on his way lo Italy to celebrate games in honor of his father. The tallest mast it brongbt from the ships, raised upon tho beach, and a dove is tied to Its top. The tour competitors take their places. First, Hlppocoon shoots. Ills arrow fixes in the quiv ering mast w near the bird, she struggles lo be free. Next Miicttiicus ; and hit swift eye follows hi*.shaft. It cute the hempen card that binds the Mrd, snd she now soars upward on joyous wing. But before she cau hide herself in the dusky clouds, brave Eorytien, his arrow already on tho airing, speed* it after her. It piereee her heart, and She tells dead at his feel. Is not this the end ?the victory won ? the prize secure? Yet, mark you what follows. Old Aeestea, hi* eagle eye piercing the clouds, see* the fall ing ford, autl he tears hie chance is lost; but with bended how and arrow drawn, he speeds it into space with such migluy pewer, it catches tire from it* own velocity, trailing a path of flame behind it, uutii it burnt to ashes /or away iu tho blue heavens. There is a shout of triumphant ap plause : Kurytiou transfers the prize to the hero, autl crowns him with tho green lauraL O Cwsarl we who are about to die, salute you. Thus the brave gladia tors standing in the arena wailing for deathl It it but a figure Of 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 derlines. Bulls H necessarily fa*ed that tbo : beok we close to-day 'shall abut for ever with a spring, when we have read only so lar? Shall the fountain 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 ture for its own sake, blend in one divine harmony tho dreams of Con templation and of action. One by one! see my Companions pass before me armed and equipped for the world’s battle fields. Every ono -has his chance; and now. for the last time, we ask, “What will he do 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 ono by the hand, and give good him cheer, with this advice: "Lik. a aiar, That hinc fhr. .
