..The.N. Y. Tribune gives the kilo - wing
synopeis . of a lectUre' lately delivered be
fore the Mercantile_ Library Association
of- - that . city, by the Rdv. W. H. FURNISEI,
of Philadelphia. His subject as annound-,
ed being the ‘‘ Characteristics of denius;'!-
but front the -definition which he gave to
Geniui, his disdourse became:rather an at,
tempt to indicate the true nature of the
,'Mind, as "made up of living,powers which
are, to be developed and cultivated; and to
point out from: this principle - Setae serious
errors into which we are apt to All.'
, In attempting precliejy , to-deftne Genius—
which lie was`a' very diffi;
cult task—he said the first remark he had
to• Make was, that it is an orig inal power,
a' true growth of •nature-a • free - gift,.o
GO—mot the product bfit : the, Producer o .
Art; not learned ' from books , frirlt. makes
boolts-not die•creature of Education, but
nalivi,•inherent,•indwelling force - of the
mind. It is born and, grows; and the
beit education that can be devised is to
,
it tvliat:'a water-raising appaititus is' to a
well : it cannot create a spring, nor can it
ever:draw any thing up . Whin is not first
,
in the .well.
But Genius, again, • when - used in this
general sense is Athiversal, a possession be....
longing to all men in some degree. Its
, greatest Sehievement is not gr'eat poem,
or,painting or any other work of art—but
in a great life : and the strong ,heart and
stout hands are its most miraculous or
gans.' Ifc who, by the Majestic dignity
of his:daily walk gives tie . beauty , of'
truth to common life, is a great" Genius
-becaus'e he illustratei•and — sets forth in its
.noblpt form
.virttie - and-triieworth. Thus
the tieat - Majority of those Wlio live in the
world display more or less of genius---:•-
even in the art of living : for to
one's way through all the obstructions of
the world requires soma" nborn
some inherent- power, for life is newer
wholly artificial and mechanical.. MI life
springs•from a living-force;and this makes
the_meanest_kindred.with_thegreatest.
• Mr. Furniss thOught that there exists a
very general disposition to overlook the
existence of this innate power of Genius
in the Schemes of Education and of So
cial - life : and to LOCI{'E is often . traced
this tendency. Whether he be responsi
ble for it or not his comparison, of the mind
to . a sheet of blank paper must be seen in
this respect to be most unfortunate. The
fact that such a tendency .aloes exist ap
pears, first, in 'the over anxiety of the
mother, who forgets that the child has
powers of action of its own, that it has
hands, and feet,:and 'eyes, and seeks to
, .
supersede the use of them by her own '
care and watchfulness. • Thii, in her case,
springs from the blindness of natural affec
tion ; but its effects are most injurious.
She rears, thus, not a man, but an over
grown babe, who totters' along amid the
stern realities of life, never becoming e-
qua! to its responsibilities, or to the dis;
charge' of the duties that deiolve upoil
him. And this same influence may be
detected all through the business of Edit-
cation. . Men seek now-b-days to multi
ply books and perfect the other machinry
of Education, while for the teaaher they
take but little thought. They • foyget that
the mind is n germ—to be planted; and
treat it like a post, to which, liy threads
of memory, they strive to attach brunches
'of knowledge, so as to give the whole the
semblance of a vigorous, fruit-bearing tree.
Sometimes nature vindicates herself
even against all thi;.and we i see the great
Philosopher or Artist spring Up_from some
neglected nook or corner of 'society, where
least we look for him, and put to shame
the mechanical teaching of the se too s.—
Two.hundred 3 ears ago a weak and sickly
lad, less industrious than his mates at
school, 'was the sport and bet{ of one of
them; and he bethought :himself of some
feasible plan of revenge. Flog hint, he
could . not for he was not strong ctUnigh ;
' but this,' said will Ido ; I will b'e
stir myself and get above him ',• 7 and so he
did; and not shove him ouly btrt the
whole school-;—antl• the winkle .world ; and
now the whole . Solar System bearsthe re
cord.of the honor and greatness of NEW-
ToN. Here the instrument 'of Educstion
was neither the fertile nor the time-honor
sed birch ; but the fists and feet of a school
boy._ the appartitusbf the school to turn
was•nothing; but his spirit was roused and
his genius quickened to life and vigorous,
activity.:• • • • ' •
Another instance in which, we trace the
irrecognitioli of this living.pewei is in the
prevailing methods of ficippiini inquiry.—
Men too rigidly
,and narrowly apply the
Baconian method. In their.: s

,These institutions of genius are too often

not until death have they received the

cur, are not seen in theirtrue importance
and of this Sir Jamds Mackintosh mentions'
a memorable instance: In 1154, the En-
glish evacuated Paris, an event which was
deemed of the first importance—far great-
er than any other or the age, At .the
same time, in Strasbourg, was going on a
law-suit about some copying machines—
but those machines wererptinfilftg presses;
and that slight event yet moves the world
while the other is almost forgotten. Time,
then, would seem to be the truest test' o

Nor is popular applause now any teat of
true worth. Once men earned the renown
they enjoyed by the products cif their
genius; now, the Art of Printing has made
the whole of the Earth a huge whispering
gallery, whore the - feeblest man may make
himself distinctly heard on the other side
of the globe: The Vogt machinery of

scents to take the place' of an everlasting
star. So close at hand now is the means

Can now be taken as no evidence of great
