Wa any truo education, be. caue though he tmd nerer itudied in a college; Ilugli Millar was educated in ' tbe ' Li.'heat tentte of tbe term. In other word, not only wa bi mind thoroughly disciilin ed, but wlm lever he learned at lf be c pletely eMiimlated, to lhat it Ix-coine hi own. Ilia career how what energy, per aevcrer.ee aud industry can do even hr a man born undrr the most unfavorable cir cumstance, for though oricinally but a poor lad, I bough only a journrynmn atone mason, tlill alter bi majority lie rose to be one of I he mot prominent cientific men o Great Uritain, a writer of acknowledged ability, and the leading editor of a princi pal party in Scotland. Jn hi Autobio -s graph), pnbliabed a few yenrs ince, he has left a narrative of hi boyhood, which ia--worth aJnkjt it n'ejhl itiifd'J toymnij men alxjut tejrining lift. - ILrt .be .wnlten nothing else, he ' would have l;ft. In that work, un invaluable legacy to bi race. , For nowhere, not even in the anttbio- piphy of Franklin, i the great truth o lorcihly illustrated that all men who have become eminent owe their jucces let to HchooimaiiU'r than to ihemvelve. It ia j Mlf-dihcipline. after all, that in the battle. There were thousands of youths contempo rary with the boy Hugh Millar, enjoying every advantage of etlucntion, and many of ihem possessed of no inconsiderable a iTility, who never made any figure in afier life, while the poor lad, whose pnhctpsl teacher wa nnture, m ho possessed no books hut a Bible, and w ho consumed sonie of his years in hewing ttor.f , 'ose to be their acknowledged superior, at: j to Lecome fa mous in two herrii-pher in both letter and science. J las distinction lie achieved by omit;jh no o ortunily to acquire knowledge. It was in quarrying (tone in a w iM district, for example, that he made tlie world retMiwriexf ' ge.i1ojrical discovery! which vvtft the brilliant but delusive theo ries of the famous ' Vestiges of Creation,' and achieved his own reputation. Hit fellow-work men enjoyed the same oppor-' tunity of winning this great distinction, but they let tlie fossil ti.h. which tettled the problem, pas unnoticed, and so they died, or will die, unknown stonemason labor ing at half a dollar a day, hiie the decease of their companion fills two continents with grief. . Aneiher thing; i proved by the career of Hugh Millar. It is that it i better to mas ter a few book than to read carelessly a dozen liliarie or more. To be plain, study is valuable, not merely for the Ucta it gives a man, but for the habit of thinking it imparts- He who voraciously '.swaliowe volumes upon volumes never gives himself time to dicest his intellectual food. '-He becomes, consequently, a tiiere smatterer. He understand:? no principles? Learned as he thinks, he is w ithoiit knowledge. He 'a wor e educa ed than the man w ho ha read but Tew' books provided those books were g'fd ones and have leen thortrughly assimilated, Huh Millar never left a book till he had made it completely his own. What Hugh Miliar did every man who has become great in litrrature has but to do. whether born poor, like Millar, or bred up wi:h every ndvamnge or scuoois and coilo Ces. Meii who wish to I e really educated must study for theniM-lve. The h.H of know ledge cannot be climed by deputy.- Hence the ditlercnce in securing an educa tion between a rich, man's on and a poor man's is less than is generally supposed. In truth ihe self-reliance w loch liimied cir- J. cumsturces give to a lad may almost be considered to counterbalance the advauta ges which fortunes bestow. .
