To toil for the things of this world, for the benefit of your children and leave their minds barren, is Utile less than mockery.

That man was made for these important ends, to be of use to his fellow man is beyond controversy;! that dl fulfil it, even when time& opportunity occur, is, every day. manifl" J 1 fested to tho contrary. Many men ap-: pear no: to Know wliat mey were oorn tor. They miy iinvo enjoyed, in their youth every ad antage for tho full developement of li.-''' --y faculty of mind, vet when onnho 1 me on, and much was looked for fror .em, how has, both individual and cc munity been disappointed. In-' e'o j d ; employing thoso talents which, i i . t r f .:er'.ed, would bring honor to themIv .s, ar-c. benefit to man, they have prosi them at some worthless shrine, ot r to selfish purposes. Time re 0(i, " . e tiisregarucd, hones disap- ' i.em: ery day around me; yea, iong, has tho samo unwel.erpiently presented itself -t liow true is it, that where fully instilled, with tho efdo h., I. ) dovelojio the mind, the result has of tint nature, which answers Hie e ? for which it was created. When reviewing these things how often i as tho interrogation at the head of this imperfect sketch, forced itself upon my mind; and in how many different forms. Let us for a few moments enquire ot ourselves, for what were we born? Each one knows his own heart, end his ccn scienco will bear him witness, if ho has pent his life in doing nil thatiay within lis power, for the good of his fellow crea tures; whether or not he has fulfilled the uties incumbent upon him aa a member of community; or whether in all tin rela tions of life, ho has done as he won!', be one by. I have not! Aro you a9 honest? Come, then, let us inqtire, For what wero wo born? Was it that we might accumulate this world's good, nnd posess gold and silver in abundance? has tho cultivation of our intellect tended this purpose? if so, too little end, is our bern i i . . mg s aim. losucnn minu, existence is n' curse, and disappointment an hourly companion, for millions of our fellows seek them in vain. Men there aro who toil night and day risk life, health, and putation for selfish aggrandizement who heed nnt t fie tears of tho widow, or who know not one iota of enjoyment whose minds are taken up by planning, and devising ways and means ot mcteain!T tneir o-atm. L'hev havo no time for thought, least of all, that of intellectual thought. For what were we born? Wai it not, that wo should, whllo honestly laboring or the things of tho world, relieve the widow and orphan, in their need cultiate our own rnimb, and assist m every object, that aimed at the same end f ir others; and while wo live, lay up enduring riches for lima to come. For what were we. born? Was it that wo might encage in the pursuits of pleas ure by gratifying our animal and brute lesircs and appetites? It so, our fellow creatures would constitute bnt so many par iclrs of one mass of corruption, and he fair face of creation would bo deform ed by him, for whose happiness it was originally designed. Let man engage in this pursuit, with, apparently, every facul ty exerted for its attainment. A noble mind may be thus wrecked, and faculties,) of which ho himself mav bo unaware rt possing, arc lost to himself and tho world. When will man bo wise? For what were we born? Was it that we should bo selfish and unsociable that we should think of "ourselves more highly ;han wo ought to think," and so despise every ono who is beneath in in any particular quality or attainment who might lifler from us m any particular point, whether in politics, religion, or any of tho many themes of controversy? Was it, t if we could not lead, we would not go at all? I havo met with men in my day, who thought that their ipse dixit, should govern upon almost all occasions; and if not consulted upon every subject, important or not, would condemn the whole. these aro generally partizans, or whippers-in. In such the mind has never been well regulated. For what were wo born? Won it to degrade ourselves below brute beasts to shipwreck our health, squander fortune, beggar our families and render our?e!vc3 loathed by tho moral part of community, feared by our families, and welcome at no placo under Heaven, but in tho soulpolluting dram shop? All tliese tnmgi l see acting around me; and to what end, or for what is this abominable degradation of tho faculties of mind? Was this the end for which man was created, and endowed widi those powers of intelle.t. which rise him bo hisih in tho scale of creation? C) vilo and wicked waste of tiino and intellect!
