My friend, itr mini!, for a moms t, wtl
you lead back a few tears; and to -e me
'to some hallowed spot of your childho !
It matters nOt whether it be some old tree
under which ye& have played— . -some ock
at which yi,,tl we_m_accustorned to sit, i the
sunny days -
.of spring—some old drool
boom- when) happy days were spent some'
pretty brook running through
_the p slum,
where you' w4e wont• to fetch the% cows at
,bight---4 care' not what - when we get there,
bow many associations - of by gone days will
rush upon the mind ! A father, a mother,
brie - Wei, sisters, and playmates, some perhaps
a ivhomlioe 'long since been numbered with
the dead, fill again meet you you there.--
Their imagcs will •be as frail upon your
mind,, as in days long since departed. The
mind is ,at work, Calling' up 'those lei:ell-Ob
jects that have long Slept in -memory, and
,thatmre pow-called forth by , some little inci
dent that puts the mind into' action.
Itt my judgement, a . much better typo - of
the mind is the soil of the earth. Seeds are

and then the 'full ear ; but Mhile it-thus pre-'
duces grain, at the same-. lime it produces
weeds, and thistles, - avid thorns,, which if left
to themselves assays grow more abundantly
than the grail?. - .Now,if a man had but one
Ada to-cultivate, and every thing depended
upon the' "manner ; ie which Ire,preparei,
'sowed; and cultivated it, and he should let it
rim to waste and - grow up with weeds; what
would von.-say ,of him ! • YoU would-say
that God ought - never tcrhave given him nne,
that he was not, fit to have: it, and that
it is a pity he efer had one,given to hitn.-:-.
You' would say that he ought to have pre
pared it, by ploughing, deep and enriching it,
to 'receive the seed ; that then, he ought to
have sown the best teed upon it that he 'could
'get ; and that just as soon as seed sprang up
he should watch it—should nourish every
plant; .and that every 'weed and eiery Can
ada thistle, or other obnoxious plant that
should show' itself, should be cut down, dug
up b y -the roots and destroyed, so thlit the
good seed,•that •was sown might produce - fruit
abundantly; unbindered and untr.ixed with
thcrie things that 'Would destroy ,„the value of
the crop: Ile Wtexid not only enrich his grAnd

nothing 1 Who would trust aiiovice to put
a piece of valualde machinery into Motion,
who knows nothing of its power and velocity I
And yet that great piecelof machinery, the
htiman mind, is to be tampered With, and to
be put into Motion and its first direction-and
impulse given to it, which time and eternity
together can only aholv the results of, by per
sons who cannot :understand or appreciate
mind•any more than an owl can logic. This
may not often be the case, yet, shame to ont
predecessors, and to us, if has been and still
igloo often the case, and by this how many
it'ininA•hat might Lava ,been directed and
trained to mighty ends, and to a high , posi
tion among): e great minds of the earth, has
been i embryo, or a dinsition given
to it that led it o to misery and darkness
forever., -
,
But I have digressed, nd will return.—
Knowledge may exist *it6ut education, but
education never without know e. Itnoud
,cdge is something put into the Wm!, through
the several senses, and he often, related 'by
s t
;\
students from their basooks and chum just
previous to an examination , and is Carnal ly
known by 'diem as clamming for the occa
sion. Education is a disikpline preearation,
or stale of the mind, that prepares it to eel
to drawforth from the treasury otknowledge
it contains, the rnaterialalterein deposited, for
its proper and legitimate use; or, in Other
words, the . fruits: and results of knowledge,
; thought and reflection. Newton saw an ap
ple fall. lie received .the knowledge of the
act through his 'eyes. Thousands or'others
- ad seen the -same thing, and received, of
i
courSe,lhe same knowledge; but, while oth•
era received only
. knowledge of the fact, b
thought and reflection ; the Mind of the grey
philosopher. was to: educated, as to see and
to learn' from the fact, the great principle of
gravitation by.which this earth and` all the
planetary, system of the universe ire kept in
I:retie. and in , amis. proper opheiron. That
the squares erected upon 'the two sidesof a
right-angled triangle are equal to the square
erected upon the base, is a fact that has exis
ted from eternity, and is known to thousands
'who never think , further .upon Ile subject ;7--
buttollernonstrate that tact andlirove it step
by step, required thought, reflection, and rea-.
soning that could only come friim an °ducat
\
ed mind. ... e that mighty and ponderous
Machine tita n um upon the Rail Road track,
it. stands ther , firm as a rock, a ithout life
or motion.' T e wheels are there—the boil.
or is there—Th arms and . pistons and all the
varieeparts of the vast machine are there:-st,
the tender is there,filled with wed - I . —the boil=
er is tilled' with wafer; and vet there is nei
ther life normotion. Thpse are all substantial
facts., All the materialPr some Mighty et'
feet seems to be there, and yet there is no ef
fect produced. Soon a - little fire is kindled
under the boiler; the element' within it be
eagle move brat a particle expands and
rises to the top, and then another, and then
more rapidly another,-Ell the whole mass-is
in commotion, ' and the ponderous engine be
gins slowly•to move, and every part, both
great and swCll, is put into requisition and
it moves off majestically, drawing after it the
long train of cars, freighted with hundreds
nay thousands, of humor• beings,-increasing
itsapeed as it goes*, till it thunders and rush
es over the track, like n mighty giant, driv
en on ter madness and ,fury, till - everything I
seems flying 'from abind it with the speed,'
of lightning. What the are is to - the wood
and water, so is education to the mind. It
moves noon the mass,—the steam is generat
ed, and there must be life and action. •
Instil the countless multitudes of minds
that God ever created, no twq have been pre
cisely alike, What would educate one might ,
not another. Education is in that
reach of
all, and yet how few there are that are edu
cated. I-do not Mean academical or collegi- 1
ate'edueation. I mean. that education whist'
prepares the mind and soul as:fulfill the high
destiny that awaits it. What educated-Na
poleon Bonaparte, and prepared him for that
career Of military glory which the world be
held butte admire and wontddr at! It was
the state of Europe. What educated. Oliver
Cromwell', what, Benjamin Franklin I what,
Martin Either, but the rimes and cireumstane•

of otir own - beautiful Philadelphia, without

If I were; to define -education pritetically,l
would say , 'it was the modifying,rwprking
over, and compounding of simple_ knowledge,
or sitrile ideas,in and by the mind. You may
; call it edUcation, discipltne, or, what you

then given him the goods of this world. .

for four:years, was.shigutaily-beautfiltl. They
had two children—the one a daughter, brown
