WORK ENOUGH FOR ALL.-G. R. RUSSELL.

young

It is a common complaint, perpetually re terated, that the occupations of life are filled to overflowing; that the avenues to wealth, or distinction, are so crowded with competitors, that it is hopeless to endeavor to make way in the deuse and jostling masses. Long before Cheops had planted the basement stone of his pyramid, when, Sphinx and Colossi had not yet been fashioned into their huge existence, and the untouched quarry had given ot neither temple nor monument, the Ezyptian, as he looked along the Nile, may have mourned that he was born too late. Fate had done him injustice, in withholding Lis individual being till the destinies of man were accomplished. His imagination warmed at what he might have been, had his chances been commensurate with his merits; but what remained for him now, in this worn out, battered, used up hulk of a world, but to sorrow for the good old times, which had exhausted all resources!

The Roman youth, as he assumed the "toga virilis," and, in all the consciousness of newly acquired dignity, folded about him his fresh insignia of manhood, thought that it should have been put on some centuries earlier. Standing amidst memorials of past glories, where arch and column told of triumphs, which hat secured boundless dominion, he felt that nothing was left for the exercise of his genius, or the energies of his enterprise.

The mournful lamentation of antiquity has not been weakened in its transmission, and it is not more reasonable now, than when it groaned by the Nile and Tiber. There is always room enough in the world, and work waiting for willing hands. The charm that conquers obstacle and commands success, is strong Will and strong Work. Application is the friend and ally of genius. The laborious scholar, the diligent merchant, the industrious mechanic. the hard working farmer, are thriving men, and take rank in the world, while genius, by itself, lies in idle admiration of a fame that is ever prospective. The hare sleepsor amuses himself by the wayside, and the tortoise wins

the race.

Even the gold of California requires hard work. It cannot be had for the gathering, nor is it to be coaxed out with kid gloves. The patents of nobility, on the Sacramento, are the hard hand and the sun-burned face of the laboring man.

Genius will, alone, do but little in this matter of fact, utilitarian, hard-working world. He who would master circumstances must come down from the clouds, and bend to unremitting toil To few of the sons of men is given an exception from the common doom.

"The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,

MAY glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven,"

and yet, in all that space, encounter nothing but air, too impalpable to be wrought into a local habitation or a name. His suspended pen may wait in vain for the inspiration that is to bring immortality; and when, at last, it

descends on the expectant foolscap, it in, perhaps, only to chronicle rhymes which shall jingle, for a day, in some weekly newspaper. He who draws on genius alone, is oftentimes answered by-no funds; his drafts are unexpectedly protested, and he finds himself bankrupt even while unlimited wealth seeme glittering around him.

It is not revealed how much of the celebrity of gifted men has been dependent on "bard digging." The rough drafts of inspiration are not printed; the pen-crossings, those modernized marks of the inverted stylum. There may have been curl up chimney. much perplexity, before smooth verses, which fall so harmoniously on the ear, were tortured into existence; many a trial, before the splendid figure could be hammered into shape. The wondrous efforts of the mightiest masters of art have something in them besides genius. The transfigured divinity of Raphael, and the walls covered over by a pencil which seems to have been dipped in sunbeams, are records not only of the mind, that could image to itself those creations, but of the intense study which, it is known, he devoted to the elements Not by sudden flashes came the of his art graceful proportions, which give such exceeding beauty to his works. Genius trusted not to itself alone, but gathered from science illustrated in the anatomical room, and from untiring contemplation of dead and living model, every auxiliary that could contribute to excellence.

When Michael Angelo hewed out his thought in marble, or personated, in fresco, the awful conceptions of the bard he loved so well, giving material form to more than the ideal of Dante, he produced the result of profound meditation, mingled with the severest application to the acquirement of all knowledge that could aid his unrivalled power,
