They may be covered with the sloth of habit, or with a pretence of humility; they may come only in dim, shadowy he eye, like the glo- ries of an ocean sunrise; but you may be sure that they will come ; even before one is aware, the Lold, adventurous ged- css, whose name is ambition, and whose dower is Fame, will be toying with a bold hand: she makes timidity strong, visions, that fee and weakness valiant. ‘the way of a man’s heart will be fore- shadowed by what goodness is in him— coming from above and from around; but a way foreshsdowed, is not a made way. And the making of a man’s way comes only from that quickening of re solve, which we call ambition. spur that makes man struggled with destiny ; it is Heaven’s own incentive, to make purpose great, and achicvement greater. It would be strange if you, in that cloister-life of a ccllege, did not some- times feel a dawning of new resolves. They grapple you. indeed, oftener than you dare to speak cf.
