A ho able to do It that JUStlCO lt.S importance imperatively dem auds May we not in euco your v sncaucr. nun tins nrici intro duction wo proceed to the d iscussiouof the subject under consideration. It was not the seraph form that bathes in tho crystal stream whose placid tide flows from beneath tho Thro no of God, that was beforo tho mind's eye of the Seer of llorcb, when his iuspired pen recorded these memorable words : "In tho imago ! of God created lie him."

Nor yet did he speak of one of the swilt-wingcd band, who take their 4villilII flhrht from WOrld to World, at the o O o o , biddilltT of 111111 whom they delight to SOrVC, J a f0 it, Wll3 0f linn to whom all these arc are ministering spirits it was of Man ho wrote. When the earth was made tho morning stars sang together the praiso sublimo of Hint who breathed it into beiug ; but its creation was not alone tho subject of their song. Tho sous of God shouted for joy as thoy beheld tho beautiful scenery of the infaut world, fresh from its Maker's hand. Rut it was uot its Eden, its wide exten ded plains Its mnjrstio mountaius, its lovely valliea, its flowery meads, its grassy dells, its foaming water-falls, its silvery lakes, its mighty oceans, that moved their raptures for their owu native climo were sccucs moro pasting fair. Rut in tho Councils of Eternity they had heard God say, "Let us make Man in our own im ago," and it was tho view of Earth, as tho birth-place of Man, the intellectual and tho moral, that tuned their eoug and gavo touo to their joy. Aud what is ho at whoso nativity tho "chiming spheres were moved," and for whom this rcsplcndcut earth was called iota cjcUtenco Where is ho upon whoso foro-hcad tho fingor of God has iudolibly written iuiuiortali'y? Alas " We may not ccek for the long lost gom, In its wnntod place in thu djadeu.' On tho .Monarch's brow ; lltil. gruvtling loir uud forgotten note. With its lustre dinim'dand Its brigktaets (one, It seemed a tiling to betroddeti upon," Fallon 1 and how fallen ! Is that ho ? That abject drivelling thing, who iu tat torcd gtith with idtoiio uicin, reels from his wine, his ictellcct clouded, hi3 fccliugs blunted, his moral powers debased, tho harp uustrung that was wont to wake such pleasant strains rcspondont to the magic touch of affection and of lovo in soul, and mind and feature, tho very car icature of humanity ! If- that ho Man, Lucifer tho Son of tho raornitig, had not moro deeply fallen. Is that ho, who sits, crouched and shiv cring in his cold and cheerless chamber, over his heaps of glittering coin, with pal sied and trembling hand, clutching his un holy idol; starting at every sound, his ev ery breath a pauio, lest it prove the stop of one who shall despoil him of that which to him is moro than his lifo's-blood, fam ishing attd dying in tho midst of plenty, for want of sustenanco which his unhal lowed avarice alone has denied him ; and j with his passing breath, cursing his hard fate that had not formed his soul of gold, j that he might forever havo had his God to worship.

And all the planets in their turn," Tho stupendous system at tho contempla tion of whose glories the mind quails and faints into dizzy blindness, tho ton thous and millions ofradicnt orbs that in eter nal space trace and rc-traco their blazing way, until the whole uuivcrso is woven into one vast web of glory aud yet have never failed in their destiny nor eomo into collision ; is it man, we say, that with the proofs of a creative and over-ruling power, that so constantly and vividly spread out before him, that he cannot escape their contemplation, will so idiotically, so dis gustingly rahc his puny voice and assert that all theso, arc but "tho workings of a blind chance;" and that "there is no God!" Rlush ! Rlush I! oh Immunity, and hide thy head for very shame, for all these arc thy fellows they arc men. Nor arc these alone they, who forgetful of their true dignity, of their nature aud of their exalted calling, fail in tho accom plishment of their high destiny. Many thcro aro who stand fair with their fellows, sternly houcst, contending for tho rigid fulfillment of every letter iu tho bond whoso fair name not one breath of dishon or may ever stain; who yet with daily, yea, hourly opportunities of achieving great and glorious things, appreciate thorn not who with tho harvest field of tho world and their own minds ever opcu for their labor, never put in tho sickle to gather iu tho fruits of lovo and self saerifico and kind acts dono to others; or novcr garner for themselves a single sheaf into tho store house of moral and intellectual entertain ment. We need look no further for evidenco of tho truth of this position, than to our own laud a land blessed abovo all oth ers in everything which may render a peo ple happy and useful. A land preguaut with tho destinies of the world aud of our race favored with facilities for tho achievement oi everything great, ana no bio; crowned with blessings, physical , in tellectual, political, moral and rcligiou5, abovo any other which tho eun shines up ona laud of frco institutions, of natural rcbourccs beyond computation, of moun tains and valleys, of fertile fields and cx hauatlesa wines, a land of rivers aud lakes, of prairies aud of forests, a land extending from Ocean to Ocean ; from tho Aristook to tho Rio Grande, and to which tho giver of all things has denied noth ing, let how is tins onco happy land liko ono vast field of strife and carnage, each man contending whh hi.t follow, not for the mastery of tho achievement of deeds of usefulness; not for tho victory of raising man to his nativo level, and crown ing him with glory and honor, not that the prosperity of tho land of his birth be enhanced aud her sacred institutions per petuated, but that self may be exalted. Sad, sad, indeed, would bo tho fato of our much loved country, wero there uotmauy, very many illustrious exceptions; yet, lea ving out ofthc question tho vast prepond erance of tho vicious nnd degraded, how largo a majority of tho remainder passscl fishly down tho stream of lifo in pursuit of their own aggrandizement, or scttlo down in imbecile supincness and fail to act their part. How often docs the professional and public man lose sight of the noblo, mag nanimous deeds, which alone constitute truo groatucsst llow often is ho unmind ful ofthc healthful influence ho may bring to bear in forming and sustaining tho in tellectual aud moral character of his couu try, and iu his mad chase along tho great high-road, whither his ambitious aspirings lead him, if he docs not over-ride aud trample under foot those who may chanco to stand iu his way, ho forgets the word of kindness aud encouragement, which may gladden tho heart and lighten tho burthen of an humblo traveler, and neglects to pluck from the way-side tho imperishable flowers of benevolence and good will, which alone may provo tho truo glory of that crown for which he is contending. How often the man of commerce, though priding himself on being the violator of no law, blinded by his desire for gain, passes on to the accomplishment of his purposes, even at the saerifico of his own comfort, and rises in tho scalo of wealth, letting pass, unimproved, ten thousand golden opportunities of dispensing good to others, who sustained by his timely aid, or even by his forbearance might havo risen the monumcut of his bcucficcucc thus reaching his goal then dies and leaves not ono trace behiud to show that the world was one whit the better or wiser from his hav iug lived in it, or performed upon its stage. How often does tho artizan 01 tho la borer, bceauso in tho eye of prido and scorn, his honorable calling may seem of no repute, make no effort to render it more worthy of rospect, and discouraged because he may not wield tho lever of Aucuimedes puts not forth tho strength of his own, and suffers his owu talent to Ho buried and unimproved in tho earth, because peradventure, for a starting capi tal, the necessary means at first may havo been denied him. Rchold the Son of the Soil The Pau- Mint. Ho who above all others, stauds near his Maker, living as he does, amid the very foot-prints of tho Almighty, hourly witnessing tho wonders of his hand, with everything "arouud, abovo, below,'' to draw his soul forth iu grateful, pleasing contemplation, acd raise his thoughts from Nature up to Nature's God." llow docs ho, too, oftcn-times forget his uoble birth his heaven-born inheritance his truo dig nity, his rightful destiny. llo refuses to look upward, much less to soar, and "walks with oarth-bent eye." Like the grovelling worm or the burrowing molo, which his plow share turns up to tho light of day, ho hides himself from the glories revealed to him and tccks in sordid earth his prison-house of ignorance and of gloom. With tho book of nature over open before his eye, he reads not its glori ous page, but lives aud dies and is forgot ten. The lives of all such arc but a blank. Their cxisteuco, as far as tho human cyo can discern, is a failure. They, too, ''quonch tho light on the inner shrine of tho human soul." They too, forget that thoy aro mortal. Enough of this dark vision. Wo turn, with pleasuro, to review the brighter page of humau history. How dissimilar the lifo and labors of the Tit ue man 1 Impolled by incentives to action having motives and cmotior far abovo those which direct tho sordid i earth-worm, as tho heavens aro high abovo i tuc oartn, ms Durtiion may no as ucavy, but it is not 'as wearisome ; his toil is as severe, but it brings with it its own sweet reward, for ho bears with him tha con sciousncss of being actuated by no moan motive. Ho is a better public man, for his ambition is to be tho benefactor of his of country and his Uud. Ho better wields tho power of his wealth, and his gains can. kcr not, for thoy are hallowed by tho do siro to dispense them in such a way, as I shall bring greater satisfaction to his soul, than all tho hoarded possessions of a Crccsus could bestow. Through tho work of his hand and tho energies of his mind, tho arts and sciences aro brought to perfection for ho falters not when perplexities and difficulties ob struct his way and labors that tho world may fed tho influence of his lifcinot for tho moro gratification of selfish pur poses, but to edify and benefit his fel low man. He tills tho soil, but goes not sullenly and grudgingly to his work, liko tho goadcd-gallcy slave, but feeling that his fellow-being has a demand upon him, and that ho owes to tho world tho record of a well-spent life, ho studiously aims to dis charge tho obligation. Ho asks no soft couch of luxury, for "the rest ofthc labor ing man is sweet." Ho ouvys not the great their palaces, for with tho cheerful spirit and light step of conscious integrity, ho I "walks 'ncath nature's gcuorous domo one of her own noblcmon." No artificial ex citement is needed to relievo his soul from the ennui of tho slothful; for there is music for him in every breczo and beauty on every spray. It has been truly and beautifully said : "Tho most sublime spectacle is a great and good man striving with adversity." lie quails at nothing. Neither toil, nor pri vation, nor the laugh of scorn, of "this dread world," can appal him. Knowing and believing that talent is a gift of the most High of origin Divine tho moral man teaches him that he is but a trustco of tho sacred charge, to improve, advance and subscrvo the condition of his fellow man, and imbued with this hih and holy principle, he blenches nt no obstacle, cow ers at no adversity. His march is on ward, proudly onward, knowing no goal but consummation : "Thn man whoso mind is firmly bent, Upon some great uud guod intent. Serene beholds the angry cloud. Nor can the tempest fierce and loud, His stubborn virtue tame." Asking and seeking for no sordid reward 'waiKiug erect in uou a own image," the consciousncsss of fulfilling man's true destiny, tho solf-approviDg hour is dearer to him, Than brightest gold. And gems from out the teeming mine.' How gratifying is tho thought, that as the world has been borno onward from the creation in tho accomplishment of its destiny, under the guiding hand of the Most High, man has performed the work All have not slept all havo not lived in vain all havo not cumbered the grouud Though adverso winds havo blown, his barque has triumphantly stem'd the gale until ho may "soar untrodden heights and seem at homo where angels bashful look." All is not lost. Though shattered bo the diadem of his glory, it is still impcrisha blc. Its gems may yet bo gathered, aud the defilement, which for ages hab ob scured their brightness, wiped away ; they may bo re-sct, in a uoble crown, and with ro-doublcd brilliancy blaze forever, Long is tho catalogue of illustrious names which have arisen iu the different ages of the world, to wipe away the blot from tho escutcheon of man's honor, and iu the sense of his true dignity and worth, in tho consciousness of his destiny has n.an found the mainsprings of action, which gave those bright beacon lights to tho pago of history. It was this which moved on tho chaos of tho humau mind aud brought order out of confuhiou. It was this which led So chatks and Plato, into thoso mighty roasoniugs, which have resulted in sys tems which have siuco governed the phil osophical world, and havo made them im mortal. It was this which directed tho gaze of the Shcphcids of Chaldca, to the teeming heavens "When marshalled on the mighty plain, The glitliring host beslud the sky." And revealed forth to their vision, that "ftar of hope, tho blithest of the twain," It was this which taught CorEUNtcus to traco tho Constellations and gavo him a name to endure while night's sable mantle shall retain a single trcin. It was this which stirred tho depths of Luther's mighty mind, until he moved the world. 'Twus this that kindled Milton's poetic firo, and gavo tho world to hear (unheard before) those lofty strains of that celestial choir, that sung on Zion's hill aud by Siloah's i-twj,that flows fast by tho oraclo of God." It was this which chastened the spirit of tho pious Fenklon, und blessed thu world with tho savor of his good name.

A few words more, in conclusion, by way of application : Ladies and gcutlcmcu of tho "Green wood Literary Society." Accept my sin ccro thanks for tho distinguished honor you havo conferred upon mo, in tho invi tation extended to address your flourish ing iiitcrary bocicty. Through your generous partiality, years ago, I was mado an IIo;;ouary Member of tho "Green wood Litcraiy Scciety." Theso unexpec ted evidences of your kindness, I shall troasuro as tho fondest remiuiscenses of my lifo and will only bo lost to my mem ory in death. Great indeed has been tho progress of your literary labors here in tho ''Dcthcl of Learning." Tako courage. And when you send your young men and maidens forth into tho wide world, lot it bo with minds richly stored with useful knowledge and adorned by tho lasting accompaniments of piety, virtuo nnd intelligence. Then, liko the Roman matrons, when presenting their son you too, will bo ablo to say, "These, THESE ARE OUR JEWELS." "Honor and fa in a from no conditions rise, .let veil your part thcro all the honor lies." Wo return, and very briefly, to scan the opposite character Man" Neglected. '' The pago of history has also its gloomy side, its dark spots to provo that talent may exist without virtue, but these also provo that without virtuo there can bo no truo dignity. Not only docs the past fur nish examples worthy of imitation, but it holds up to our view, instances of splendid genius, capable of great attainment, with out being guided by a single redeeming virtue, where tho possessor has been hon orcd and even envied. Such a character cau bo better read in blank verso. "When I behold a genius bright, yet baso, Of towering talent, yot terrestrial aim, Mcthinks I sec, as thrown frum her high sphero Tho fragments of a soul immortal I Struck with the aw ful melanchully sight. At encu compassion, soft, and envy rlsu Hut wherefore envy I Talent angel bright If wanting worth is nauglit but shilling instrument In false ambition's hand, to finish faults Illustrious, and give iulamy renown." And need wo moro to incite us to a prop cr appreciation of our truo dignity our high calling. Whilo tho names aud char acters of the illustrious great aro recorded on tho historic page, for our admonition and contempt, the glory of the illustrious great and good is their bright example to those who camo after them. What have wo to do, but to imitate their example 1 Should they not iucito us to deeds of great ness, that we may in turn, lighten tho path way of thoso who eomo after us. Young nicii, remember, that the "Lives ofgrcat men nil remind tia, We may make our lives sublime, And, departing. leavu behind us, I'ocit'prints on the sands uf time; root'prints, that perhaps unothir, Hailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlornu nnd ship-wrecked brother Seeing, thall take heart again."
