He en .it opon the tops, and play xvith. the fleecy cloudy which Coat over a skyofcerulean blue, or dive into old -ocean's depths, there to pluck and gather the "gems of purest raf serene", which lay con cealed, and tmbosomed in its " dark, unfathom ed caves." The whole of Nature groans at his'' approach.

He turns rivera out of their ancient channels, and instead of allowing them, to. me ander aa ;they list, bids them flow ; where he will-. He tt-ansformr the dense and benighted forest into a peopled city, and causes the barret) desert to be converted into an entire oasis. He can causi the many worlds of the universe which, are - too vast, ko boundless, for our narrow minds; to approach so near him that, he la able to make observations upon their surface. He can even cause the gentle rain to descend to water our earth, whenever it needs the e t . . . - . - . , . re- iresnm nr snowcr, and also cause the mirrhtv. ana portentous winds of Aeolus, to rise and rage with fury, and tumult, and can quel I the roarings, and ragings of a boisterous.1 and tem pestuous sea in a word what can he not pe form ? Nature is entirely subject to his sway, he ha but to command, and she is ready and willing to obey I Though man posseses this greatness, and power, when considered with reference to mankind, yet, if his sex.be con'sid ered individually, it will be found divided into two classes; the great and small. The small class is that of which I here intend to treat ; but in order to better understand what is meant, let us first imagine "Who are the great men?" In what does their greatness consist?; Is it in genius, and t;.lent alone? No! though men possess but a mediocre genius, yet, if they will exert themselves, improve every opportunity, and circumstance they c arid will become great. Yes! a sufficient degree of self-exertion 1 will cause any man to reach the highest pinna cle of eminence and superiority. The celebra ted Buxton has remarked, that, V any man may become what ho wishes, by studying, working and struggling;' and as there is not the least vestage of doubt but that all wish to be great, ihe inference drawn from it is, that alt tnen .can win and wear the crown of greatness So it is plain that greitness does not consist in genius alone (for a genius unexerted, is like the moth which flutters around the candle tHl it scorches itself to death,) but in stirexert ion, a fixed purpose, nd an indomitable perseverance. Yes! these constitute greatness, and the men who possess them, aw the great men. But! who and what are small men ! What is the difference between .them and their great brothers T The " greatest and principal difference is energy, invincible de termination, a s:ttled purpose, and then death or victory. This being the characteristic of the great, i found entirely defiiient in small men.; The small men are never incited to action by any stimulant whatever, however powerful it may be; they are what may be termed perfect sluggards ; they appear to be in a state of leth argy, so completely are they enveloped in the folds of lassitude ; they lounge about and pend i.c.r lima inmieness and dissipation, and ihe """',ms ay- ney never make an at tempt to arrive at the summit of greatness,' for icar mai it wouia reqire some exertiori and that obstacles would present .themselves to impede tneir progress. Tliey survey the paths trod by great men, and behold difficulties at every step; and thus they remain quietly and undisturbed. io pursue tbe courso which will procure them the greatest nmount of present enjoyment, and to breathe out their lives, ; having gained for inemselves nothing but the epithet of small men; a small reward to recompense the labors tmd toils of.a lifetime. I Small" men never de vote ny time or attention to any subject that will develop their mental faculties. They know nothing of the beautiful harmony, which pre vails in the laws of nature. They know not tt.t L t J? ... ' . - - - M.. uice oooievwnicn seem as mere specks in boundless space, are governed by undeviatinjr iawsi noi tney Know nothing of these; in truth what do they know ? W.hat do they know of their own bodies and souls, and their respec tive powers! What do they know of the earth upon which they 'move and have their being?" What do they know of the broad and blue ex panse, so thickly bestudded with stars as bright cu r uuigent as the diamond : and of the many wor.us wmcn so far exceed the magnitude of our earth? f What do they know of former aes ana their great men T What do they know of mora.s, ana mat which has respect to immor. tslity? Xothing, nothing at all! Their minds are entirely enshrouded ; in gloom, a thick mist conceals these from their mental view! ' There is no chord in them that is awakened or vibrates at the mention of Howard or Davy j 2 hey are entirely indifferent to the works of science; both of the past ages", and of the present day ! . They behold not iis beauties; they know not-that it never grows old, but is ever appearing decked in more and more beautiful garments! ' They know not that many. have become martys to it, and to fathom its depths, bavebeen "engulfed, either in volcano's bosom or the ocean's cares) They know ' not that it'is man peculiar pre rogative to seek for knowledge,' that he should never remain contented until he j has quenched thirst, with the pure and refreshing waters which gush from that fountain t - How can they i? know!edge of these'; When' ihV'time which should be devoted to Wis addicted to low and trivial novels, or some other worthless w0r.k! 7:.
