PotSCVCBASCC 15 Ikvestion. Genius and Penevercncc arc common words, bat they, represent those qualitlc« to which America owes, more » than to anything the, ils succewful tide of advancement and prus|>crily. Ttiey coustitate the foantUlioii of nil wall directed effort, and form the basis of all «rno wealth and every permanent insiita lion.. Taken kcparuU-Iy, the action of each is impaired and rendered comparatively ineffectual, but, nnited, they give such impulse to labor, cithei mental or physical, as cusurus 1/cyoud question eventual success. Mere genius, without peraeveranee in the development o 1 ideas and plana or tbe endeavor to enra. tuunicaie and render thru practical, is powerleos in its itiluencc; and mere peraeveranee, without genius or mentaj power, nlwnya work lo diaadvaouge, meeting with obstacles and encountering difficulties at every turn. In order to their snore successful and effectual working, there should be a combination ol both—genius planning for perseverance and perseverance executing the commands of genius through the medium of manual aod mechanical work. The individual instances of this truth are so numerous and so general in every com-

other than such as is common lo every one’s knowledge. The remark is every day made—“that man is a groins, but be lacks perseverance, and will never amout to anything,” or ‘'he’s a perse vering fellow, but don’t seem to have

any talent or tact.”

la the department of invention, the

ular thing in sotoc.onc depaitincnt, the object of permanent and persevering effort, there would be fewer patents issued, and more which wonld be worth

the cost of procuring them.

More than twenty years ago, Philo Pcnfiehi Stewar:,* tbcu u resident of this city, commenced the construction of his cooking stove, now so well known throughoot the country. Possessed of inventive talent, himself e practical mechanic, and being conversant with th-J history of such matters, he determined lo combine his talent and knowledge, and construct, carefully and perseveringly, ns his opportunities would allow, a cooking apparatus that should fully answer every demand of the limes. Being for a while straitened in his pccaniasy affairs, he was unable lo bring bis iureuliou prominently before the public, but he was satisfied in befog able to give them, although in a limited way At first, a complete and useful article. It bos always Iseeu a business rule «ith him never to allow a stove to paw from his hands, that would not stand sunccssfuliy the most severe test. As hb circumstance* improved, l.c was enabled to avail himself of the advantages of consultation with other thorough and compctcul mechanics, and these,'with such os his own experience furnished, were faithfully devoted to the improvement of the stove. As iu reputation become cstabliabcd, nud the demand for it increased, it attracted the attention of manufacturers, and Mr. Stewart w-s enabled to pm his stove into the hands of one of the oldest and most prominent houses iu the county, wdicre every fact! ItJ fbr its prop(r auanufaciure could be rradily secured. Mr. Stewart hasmr.de Cia store tlie specially tjl all hit endeavors for nearly a quarter of n cenimy nud still gives it the benefit of unwearied efforts for greater excellence and im-provi-mint. The present season he has provided it with new flues.' which render the operations of the oven entirely successful, even with the poorest draft, it

Thinking the rtnJF very weak, he changed arms, zo that his other hand could ukc a pinch .at the nose game, and went to work ngain in fine style.— After putting on a dose that nearly covered the whole of her face, he conclnded tolet up for half, an hsor, and if by that; time it did not burn, to put on a few more daubt.

Think of what practical applications^ou can make of it, that will sail the condition and capacity of those tender and immortal minds, who arc looking to yoo so confidingly. Then enter your closet and have your own heart warmed by a near communion with ypur Sarioui.— Then, and not till theriQnre you prepared to appear before ^>ur lender charge, nnd pour into their hccglq tjij:. bta^ujiful truths of salvation, vAilc your very countenance speaks to theta of the love of •lesns. Impress ujton llicm, both by ht-artfell precept, and by example, the necessity of a change of heart. And then do not forget often to present them before the throne of grace.
