2. MANY brave young minds have oftentimes through hearing the praises and famous eulogies of worthy men, been ftirred up to effect the like commendations.-SPENSER.

Youth, Education of.

EN glory in raifing great and magnificent ftructures, and find a fecret pleasure to fee fets of their own planting to grow up and flourifh but furely it is a greater and more glorious work, to build up a man, to fee a youth of our own planting, from the small beginnings and advantages we have given him, to grow up into a confiderable fortune, to take root in the world and to fhoot up to fuch a height and spread his branches fo wide that we who firft planted him may ourselves find comfort and fhelter under his fhadow.

The Youth of Genius.

N reading the memoirs of a man of genius, we often reprobate the domeftic perfecutions of those who

opposed his inclinations. No poet but is moved with indignation at the recollection of the tutor of the Port-Royal thrice burning the romance which RACINE at length got by heart; no geometrician but bitterly inveighs against the father of PASCAL for not fuffering him to ftudy Euclid, which he at length understood without ftudying. The father of PETRARCH caft to the flames the poetical library of his fon amidst the fhrieks, the groans and the tears of the youth. Yet this burnt-offering neither converted Petrarch into a fober lawyer, nor deprived him of the Roman laurel. The uncle of ALFIERI for more than twenty years fuppreffed the poetical character of the noble bard; he was a poet without knowing how to write a verse, and Nature, like a hard creditor, exacted, with redoubled intereft, all the genius which the uncle had fo long kept

thing in every judgment, whereby he may with fome appearance of reason turn the cause of the judgment upon his adversary. Fancy is an endless thing, and if we will go this way to work, then he that hath the best wit, is like to be the best interpreter of God's Judgments.-ARCHBISHOP TILLOTSON.
