It, is not set forth in your list of stud- les; It is not a favorite field of rheto ric. Most students habitually over look it; too many great teachers for get or ignore It. It does not mingle with the pleasing inspirations which are busy weaving future garlands for' the graduate. It may unsettle some delightful.castles reared by-your mo ments of repose from weary labor ; but it is the life each and all mast live. Let us look at it soberly, and cultivate it kindly, and it will reward us with many cheering smiles and charming attributes. While our every-day life is the theme that should be most familiar to all, it is the one important part of education that Is most neglected. Yon . may here becisme what the world of letters calls a greet scholar, and yet be to the world, and in the world, a novice. if aucCessful, it will be an accident; if usefel, it will be grudgingly acknoWledged only when you are dead, if even then. Mere scholarship, in its .relations to the great purposes of human life, is like an intricate machine in unskilful hands. While it will run itself, it is well; but when it wants direction its - beauty • and Its mechanism go for noujiht. Our colleges and higher schooli are of inestimable value, but they cannot do everything for the student. They can store the mind and fit the man for the ceaseless les son of life ; but when they have done, the: of. learning has but com .meneed. ; When you shall have pass ed -safely through your - recitations and examinations, you are just fitted to enter the boundless school that is ever open around us. • The world itself Is the master teacher of its countless pupils. It. has no swab= or. .vacations. Its. vast books are neNer closed. Its million- Its suasions and vengeful man'tatt throng upon us wherever we are. In its somas of instruction, aiming to make man each day better than be fore, it Is as varied as the handiwork of God; and yet how many of all the living profit by these multiplied teachings as they swiftly per? You have read, and doubtless often quoted, the trueism, that "the prop er study-of mankind is man." It is the plain, broad channel of advance meet, for the study of man involves the study of everything. For him all things were created. All of the world'aneauty is but a tribute to his excellence. All of its thorns and brambles are but chastening rods to make him mindful of the purpose of his being. The grandest themes of the painter -and poet relate to his destiny. The pulpit is inspired by thestory of his redemption. Senators and commoners win slistioction only as they promote his happiness, and that heroism is enshrined over all that has achieved his amelioration. It is an imperative lesson to enable us to know something of ourselves. Whether we would pay court to the fickle goddess of famef or aspire to wealth, or to usefulness, or to the nearest possible perfection of human I character, the one unending study is of Men. The supreme problem that confronts the 'faithful student from day to day, and from year to year, ever revolves closely about himself, 'and yet it takes ,In its scope all of nature's infinite variety of evet-pm eat and ever-changing text-books. Look out upon the world's tumultu ous school. Each one so like his fel low, and all so unlike; yet each va ried • understanding is bountifully furnished' with endless sources of culture. Did all -pursue the same beaten path, the world would be monotonous, and most of ita beauty and teachings would be lost. But no two have Just the same aspirations, or garner the same harvest from the cradle to the grave, and are , insensi ble of the riches they have cast aside. The-absorbed astronomer may ex plore the heavens when opportunity is presented, and then pans on through the world unconscious of its ofibrings. The geologist may delve into the recesses and rocks and forget the living in his search for the rec ords of the past. The scholar of books performs only what some other mind bids him—all else are sealed treasures around him. He could solve the most abstruse prob lem, for the student, but would be confounded if asked to solve the problem the student himself present ed. Many righteous men teach from the Holy Book 'and teach in vain. They know only what they tench, and not, to whom they teach. The I thoughtless, plodding son of toil re jects all things save as necessity theme learned master. Thus do the learned and unlearned jostle on, like truant children, discarding the best means of usefulness to their fellows; and dooming to pitiful thraldom, the immortal element of our existence. HI were to call upon the learned young men before me to tell of the great epochs of human history, you would answer promptly and correct ly. I could tell you nothing of the _world's mutations that would be novel to you. Bo much you have learned, or are learning,. well: Do I not understand Me as assumtpg that you should have learned wee, for I have already told you that life is one unending lesson; and here, when all has ptiia done that can be done, you are only fitted to begin the great study. Let me kindly, and, I trust, pleasantly s ti lt ed p lead you from the stilted plane that youthful ambition builds, to look into the fountains which havegiven the world its varied eras. You have studied its heroes, its .mm, its patii ots,, its pieta, its schoWss, and lbs masters. I would now have you study the sources whence they came. The marked events of the world's history may al be be traced to the every , slay life of the peoples who were the chief actors therein. You would point to Omar on Alexander as the great hero of the ancients; but without Borne, Just as she then Iwas, what could Cesar have been? i and without Greece, trained as one, • stast military camp, Alexander 1 might have been a slave instead of 1 'the conqueror of the world. Heroes -mare made and unmade, not by dr eumstances alone, but heroism must . ,ever be the Joint creation of the man and of the occasion—tho people must ' !find their true typo with thepartien lar elements of excellence which • meet their supreme I want. 'We 'speak thoughtlessly of treat leaders, • forgetful that they are created, and uthat their followers have had much p ito .do. with their creatton. Rienzi deserved greater honors from Rome than ever did Ciesar,, yet the one ' was than. of Rome when she was' , mistress of the world, stud the other 1 i failed and fell ignomin io usly , and is remembered only as te last of the 1 Tribunes. He was nooverthrown by rivals, as was Cassaewhen he fell P at the foot of the statue of Pompey. /_4 ( The boisterous.fountains of ambition which made \ rutus 'a murderer, gradually like subtle poison through the of the people, and patrician and lan alike were tainted and y Weser had a party, and Antony a party, but Rome had none, and the sad sequel is told in the single sentetice—"Bi east fell from the vices of/the pm le." - -At last a mere handful of banditti possissed the apital of the once proud empire, and her liberties were overthrown because her people had lost all their noblest attributes. Washington was perhaps the only Man who could have won the inde mudence of the •eolonieN" and yet them were those in the revolutionary army-no-less brave, and much more brilliant ; It was rare wisdom that called film to the 'chief command. Had Arnold commanded, he would have lived a patriot, fought desper ately, and • lost his cause. Between ;Washington and the people there was a common inspiration. They mutually led,mutually followed, mutually safferid, and mutually tri umphed. The desire for liberty be came part of the every-day life, part of the every-day devotion, of thecol palate ; and the . patriot hero became the Father of his Country. Lot us'for a moment transpose the two chief military leaders of the ear ly part of the present _century. Transfer Napoleon -to Britain and Wellington to France. Could there 'have been a Marengo, an Austerlitz or Waterloo? Had Napoleon been in.the English army with all his fie ry zeal, be, would have been cashier ed before he reached a colonel's commission; and had Nellington been under the eagles of France, he would have lived and died a Babel- tern. Bat each in 'his own army was a great captain, and each typifi ed the people he so successfully com manded. The people of IFrance cre ated Napoleon ; the people of Eng land- made Arthur Wellesley Lord Wellington. "Soldiers! from Utak) pyramids fo,rty centuries template wordsour#gtions," were theypiring of Napoleon to his victorious army in Egypt.-- 41 England expects every man to do his duty," was the strongest appeal that could be made to the British soldier. , Napoleon would apostrophise the I"sun of Austerlitz; and hurl his; columns into battle like the whirlwind; while Wellington- would silently, calmly and stubbornly maintain his position In the presence of defeat, and wait for Blucher. The people-0r tbsoatwo Powerful nations moulded their lead eni; and trireugh them moulded their entW i Ta l ullter i Vati h ff t !na, differ ; would have created other leaders, and the annals of their heroism would have beep no lees glorious; but the names to which ambition so proudly points would be unwritten therein. Napoleon quickened and developed, but did not create, the every-day lifeof the people of France. The ripening fruit fell before the fit ting harvester, and since then France has obeyed, but never loved, another name. Never was she so great as under Napoleon I. The glory of France was In the keeping of every household. Honesty, vigor and ad vancement inspired all eases,. 'and their every-day life. was written in blood on the battle-fields of almost every nation of Europe, and com memorated in the'grand column in the Place Vendome. But peoples, like inctividriels,never stand still. All exceptions to this rule are but insignificant. France gradually and imperceptibly declined' under the restored Bourbon rule, aid was ready for the gnawing cancer of the second empire. Trey worship ped the name of Napoleon, and gave hearty enthusiasm to the feeble im mitations of the weak pretender who usurped the throne. They merited their ancient renown in the Crimea and followed their. emperor to May • `decay but 'aw was indellibly stamped upon the French nation, for her once great people were enfeebled by stu died profligacy and debauchery, and their decline grew more marked with each returning year. At last the ter rible avenger came. It was not so much Prussia as the every-day life of the French people. Under the first Napoleon Prussia might have defeated them in battle, but their honor and their nationality would have been preserved. But their de struction was hastened by a feeble ' and corrupt and corrupting court, un til all France could not create a lea der, because her' people had lost all their qualities of greatness. It would seem that an overruling Provideins meant for all mankind to haven most impressive lesson in the late Franco-Prussian war. We read and speak of Bismarck and poleon as if they - were its authors. They were but borne by the flood tide to the grand, consummation.— lied Bismarck been a Frenchman, he would have rotated from local turbulence to exile; and had Napo leon been a Prussian, ho would have been a tnirdltate author or a soldier unknown to fame. But while France was declining in the moral, mental and physical qualities of her citizens, the German popple, under a weak but honest ruler, were advancing in all that developes and ennobles a na tion. It was said that the German universities triumphed over the Aus ' trianakt Sadowa, and that in the late war thesoldier of Von Moltke march ed with a • professor's gown in his knapsack. These are exaggerated but significant delineations of the every-day life of the German peqple who won et Gravelotte, at Se' at Dietz, at Strasburg, and at Paris. The eliery-day purity, patriotism, Indus try, religious, zeal, andl universal education of the German people. ri pened them for German unity. The Fatherland is their first love, and Bismarck was their master architect to rebuild the lost empire. Calm, clear-sighted German statesmanship, called him as the best type of the na tion's want, and ho saw the founda tions well laid, and everything at hand for thelmposingstructure. Jie could ,not miscalculate ihe venture. The every-day-life of forty millions of Germans was steadily and surely preparing them for the great work, Just reward.- William now lavers and he gathered the (alma of their the Imperial crown. are marshals of the empire, and BLit and the princes rnarck is Fines of the realm—all weariug welPearned honors ; bat the thoughtful historian will record the story of the households of the father land. moulding the solidarity of the German peoples. • Thermopyhe was made memorable by the everyday life of the Spartan people. They were not more . cores ageous than the ether soldiers' of Established 1818. °mem . but they were a law unto themselves in warfare. Had It been an arbitntry decree of a bloody de posit, that they shocildinever retreat In battle, they would have defied It. Had it been an exceptional cam mend of Leonidas, it might have been dis obeyed without peril to reputation. But it wartthe law of the Spartan _people, Made by and for themselves —conceived by their idolatry of un ialtering bravery, and it was obeyed by the soldiery because each man was but obeying himself:They could have retired with credi i accordlng to the generally accepted aws of war, as did their comrades• but they had erected their own stra nge standard of heroism. None could hope to sur vivo the unequal conflict, but death itself .was nothing , when weighed against the honor of the Spartan till sen in arms. They fought and fell, and the column Abet commemorated their willing sacrifice bore the faith ful inscription—" Oh stranger, go tell to the Lacedemenians that we lie here in obedience to their laws." . You will better appreciate this im portant lesson when we glance at the startlingevents which have jest tran spired in our own midst. Most a ydu were 'susceptible of intelligent convictions, touching th e great war of the rebellion, from its beginning to the consummation of its logical re sults. It is said, however, that chil dren believe that all the mighty re volutions of war or peace happened long before they lived, and it is quite true of men as well: Few; indeed, who witnessed the colossal struggle between the North and the South, can measure Its marvelous achieve ments or itsmomentous consequen ces. Its heroes sprang from our own every-day cirelts, and we cannot in vest thew with the romance that his tory will weave so beautifully about them. The grave questions to be de.; ceded in the cabinet and in the field, we decided ourselves in our every day actions. Our every-day educa tion and advancement advanced the statesman; and standards of the na tion, and as a people we were almost imperceptibly and unconsciously working out to its crowning triumph —Man's noblest struggle for Man. The thoughtless and superficial blam ed the politicians, and charged them with the country's misfortunes. It was not so. They were bad enough and way have quickened the conflict; but when the passions of civil strife shall subside, and the impartial his torian conies to record the most thril ling annals of civilized warfare, it will be truthfully told, that two brave and powerful peoples had exhausted compromise on irreconcilable differ ences of national policy, autfacceptell The inevitable arbitrament of the sword. 'A quaint, uncouth and untried wan, was called to the chief magistracy of the nation to grapple with issues of Incalculable moment. Experienced and cultivated statesmanship was ap palled at theeonsuming disorder that beset the government, and they had little faith in the wisdom that was to guide the old ship through the tem pestuous sea of bitter sectional es trangement. But the guiding star of national safety was the single-hearted and faithful ruler who was from the people and of the people. I have heard him lament in profoundest sor row, in the dark.days of thestruggie, that scarcely a score of senators and congressmen were in sincere accord wine hia convictions of public diltY. It th. L- -x.vuu.ma and to compl a i n—it was his to decide and to act far thirty millions of his trlllnr... , PluNy twain to the oat • patients which arose with each day —he was the guardian of the noblest patrimony that future generations could ieherit. , lie resisted the im perious demands of one-idea leaders, until, in his calm, (intent re fl ection, he felt that the fullness of time for the great epoch of the war had been reached. He looked solely to the necessities and to the sentiments of the people. "What Ido about slav ery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save this Union; and what I for bea r, I forbear because I do not believe that it will help to save the Union," was one of his trite and pungent sentences addressed in reply to a sincere criticism ; and it frankly defined his whole policy on the great question that was convuls ing friends and foes; alike. Had he been a supreme trickster, or what the world (salsa trained and subtlestates man, he might have made the wounds- of the country seeni less ghastly than they were, and deluded the people to be content with healing the surface, leaving the terrible gan grene deeply imbedded in ,the body politic, to sap its vitality and finally break outafresh with resistless viru lence. But he believed 'in pelf-gov ernment, and believing, he main tained it.

He advanced only as the people advanced. When they faltered under the grinding exactions And sore sacrifices of the conflict, he parleyed until they were reinspired.

Men of the type of these two rulers were not rare in both the North rind South daring the war, and sincerely devoted to their respective sections; but they were felt or unfelt just as their leading characteristics were in accord or in antagonism with the great purpose of their people.

States and no war ; and being vitally discordant, their rulers and heroes were created for widely different pur poses, and of necessity from the most opposite of elements. Each was the true creation of his ownpm. pie, and I believe that both 0110611 re possible measures of duties assigned them. One was successful, and suc cess is the most, successful of all hu man rewards. The other failed, and must answer for all the errors that that failure sogreedily; groups.and magnifies. The confederacy was reared upon despotism. Its boasted corner stone was caste. Its theory of government avowed the inequality of human rights before the law. A cold, polished, able and sincere des pot only could crystalize such a movement, and except a' conflict that braved the progress of, enlightened civilization. Ile was the o&pring, not the parent, of a monstrous wrong. However diversified their views may have been at the beginning, for four years the southern peoplewaged ,war for the &solution of the Union,fand proved their devotion on many bravely contested battle-fields. Their President was but their chosen lead er, th eir faithful exponent, and his fallen was_ but the consummated failure of every-day life—of the hab its, cunt/idioms, and teachings, for more than a generation, of eight millions of our fellow citizens. Equally marked were the oppo site reqnhunents of the northern and southern peoples, in selecting their great captains from widely opposite characteristics of military - genius. Grant and Lee were confessedly the heroes of theruinguinary struggle. In their respective positions, nonecould have been greater—none more suc cessful. But had Grant been a con: federate and Lee a federal, both would have been good soldiers— neither a successful general. Both reached supreme command over stars which had glittered and paled, be cause they • respectively tilled the measure of their peoples' necessities.

The South found its true type of a warrior early in the strife. The North would have revolted at the Wilderness campaign had it been at tempted one year earlier. In the late all of 1861 I heard the inquiry made of a gallant officer, whoaubsequently commanded the army of the Poto mac—" Why do you not advance?" The answer ,was—"We • could move directly • upon Mammas and Rich mond, and capture both, but it would cost ten thousand men to do it," and cavil was silenced. Ten times ten thousand men were killed, wounded and missing in military movements well meant to economize the terrible sacrifice. Then half as many more fell in the campaign of 1864, which was wisely planned lu accord with the nation's Inevitable need, and executed with marvelous heroism and skill. limit fought Just one de fensive battle during the war. He lost it, and lost his command.- Lee conducted two offensive campaigns, and both were disasters: • "I pr= to fight tt answ.sz .......ano .r I •-st —....rnar," was Grant's echo from the Wilderness, of the throbbing popular, linnn , t In the North. "A renewal of the engagement could not be hazarded," were the sober words with which Lee assured the South that though Gettysburg was lost, the army was not sacrificed. These chieftains were the fisithful..creations • of the every day lives, the purposes, the hopes, and the wants of their peoples; and their achievements were but the patiently and painfully wrought consummation of years of mingled thought and action in the hothes of the nation. The same causes which have ineat , ed the heroes and sages of the world's history, have been the chief agencies in the rapid progress of Christian civilization. Its origin was divine, but the means employed for its diffu sion are within the economy of hu man efforts and influences, and the every-day livesi of sincere Christian people are the Most impressive and successful of all its teachers. The every-ddy life of Christ silences the scandal of the scoffer, and it resolves the doubl.sof thousands whose frail ties question the offices of faith. His was the one perfect life among men. Ho was sorely tempted, and Ho knew not sin. lie was reviled and perse cuted, and Ile prayed for •His ene mies. His teachings were pure as the fountain of lespiration, whence they came, and Illadally walk and actions confounded aaluful world that sought in vain for the blemish on His gar ment. Even those who relect Him us the Messiah pronounce him the best of men, and confess the happy influence of Ills seund precepts and blameless example. At Antioch, the seat of learning and luxury and moral profligacy, ills humble followers were classed us Christians. They were distinguished from the ways of mankind about them, and the Chris. lien era was thus 1111171 ed. Tram it thence through the revolutions of nearly two thousand years—through the gradual triumps of error by the gradual corruption of the persple— through the terrible penalties which slowly but surely came as withering vengeance from heaven ; and through seasons of moral darkness which an. paired as if hope had fled from man. , In all these wonderful mutations, not mere rulers or leaders are answera- We for results. They were but the creatures of the ebbing and flowing tides of popular degeneracy, or of the struggles of the people for their tem poral or spiritual amelioration. Tho , State corrupted the Church ; the , Church subordinated the State, and the battle-axe smote the altars where the faithful worshipped.
