The following. taken from an English journal. is particurlarly suggestive to the young men of this country :— ‘ Heaven help these who help themselves.’ isa well known maxim, embodying in a small compass the results of vast human experience. The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the in- dividual; and exhibited in the life of many, it consti- tutes the true source of national vigour and strength. Help from without is often enfeebling in the effects. but help from within invariably invigorates. What- ever is done for meaner classes. to a certain extent takes away the stimulus and necessity of doing for themselves; and wherb men are subjected to over- guidauee, and over-government. the inevitable tou- deuey is to render them cemparitively helpless.— Foreign observers have noted. as one of themost marked characteristics of the Englishman. his strong individuality and distinctive personal energy, refus- ing to merge himself in institutions. but retaining throughout his perfect freedom of thought and speech and action. It is the energy of individual life and example, acting lhroughoutsocieiy. which constitutes the best practical education of Englishmen. Schools academics and colleges give but the mercst begin- nings of culture in comparison with it. Far higher and more practical is the life education daily given in our homes. in the streets, behind counters. in workshops. at the loom and the plough. in counting- heuses and manufactories. and in all the busy haunts of men. This is that final instruction as members of society which Schiller designed ‘ the education of the human race.‘ consisting in action, conduct. and self-culture. and sclf-control,——all that tends to dis- cipline a man truly. and fit him for the proper per- formance of the duties and business of life—a kind of education not to be learnt from books or acquired by any amount of literary training. It is this individual freedom and energy of action, so cordially recognized by observant foreigners, that really constitutes the prolific source of our natural growth. For it is not to one rank or class alone that this spirit of free action is confined, but itpervadesall ranks and classes; perhaps its most viorous outgrotvths being observable in the commonest orders of the people. Men great in science, literature and art—apostles of great thoughts, and lords of the great heart—have sprung indiscriminately from the English farm and Scottish bler's steel. The illustrations which present th m- selves are indeed so numerous. that the difliculty consists in making a selection from them, such as should fall within the compass of a reasonable book. Take. for instance, the remarkable fact. that from the barber's shop rose Sir Richard Arkwright. the inventor of the spinning jenny. and the founder of the cotton manufacture of Great Britain ; Lord Teuderdeu. one of the most distinguished of English Lord Chief Justices; and Turner. the very greatest among landscape painters. No one knows to a certainty what Shakespeare was; but it is unques- tionable that he sprung from very humble rank. His father was a butcher and crazier; and Shake- speare himself is supposed to have been in early life a wool comber; whilst others aver that he was an usher in a school, and afterwards it scrivener's clerk. He truly seems to have been ‘ not one but all man- kind's opitome.’ From the weaver class sprang Simpson. the mathematician. Bacon Iho sculptor, the two Milners, Adam Walker, John Foster. Wilson the ornithologist, Dr. Livingstone the missionary travel- er. and Tauuahill the poet. Shocmakers have given as Sir Cloudest Shovel the great admiral, Sturgeon the electrician. Samuel Draw. the essayist. Gifford the editor of the Quarterly Review. Bloomfield the poet, and \Villinm Carey the missionary ; whilst Morrison another laborious missionary.was a maker of shoe lasts. Within the last year. a profound naturalist has been discovered in the person of a shoemaker in Baufl. named Thomas Edwards. who while maintaining himself by his trade. has devoted his leisure to the stud of natural science in all its branches ; his researc as with the smaller crustaccm having been rewarded by the discovery of a new species to which the name ‘ Praiaa Edwardsii ' has been given by the naturlists. Nor have tailors been altogether undistinguished. Jackson the painter having worked at that trade until he reached man- hood. But what is perhaps more remarkable. one of the gallaetest of British seamen. Admiral IIobsou. who broke the boom at Vigo in 1702. originally be. longed to this calling. Cardinal Wolsey. Do Foe. Akenside. and Kirke White were sons of butchers ; Bunyan was a-tinker, and Joseph Lancaster was a basketmaker. Among the great names identified with the invention of the steam engine are those of Newcomin. Watt and Stephenson; the first a black- smith. the second a maker of mathematical instru- ments. and the third an engine drama—Hunting- don the preacher. was originally a ooallieavcr, and Bean the father of wood segraving.acoal miner; Dodslsy was a footman. and Holes-oft a groom. Baffin the navigator, began his seafaring career as a man before the mast. and Sir Cleudsley Shovel as a cabin-boy. Herschel played the oboe in a miltary band. Chautery was a journeyman carver. Etty a journeyman printer and Sir Thomas Lawrence the son of a tavern keeper. Michael Farraday. the son of a poor blacksmith. was in early life a practiced to a book binder. and worked at at trade until he reached his twenty-second year; he now oc- cupies the very first rank as a p ilosephsr. even excelling his master Sir Humphrey Davy in the art of lucidly expoundicg the most difilcnlt and obtruse points in natural science. The House of C ommous of such self~raised mon—flttln representatives of the industrial character of the British people; and it is to the credit of our legislature that such men have received due honor there. When the late Jose h Brotherton. member for Salfcrd. in the course of the discussion on the Ten Hours Bill, detailed with true athos the hardships and fatigues to which he had been subjected when he was a factory boy in a cot- ton mill. and described the resolution which he had formed. that if ever it was in his owsr he would endeavour to ameliorate the condition of that class. Sir James Graham rose immediately after him. and declared amidst the cheers of the Roses. that he did AVE”. 30" 17'1"“! 8°"l°° SAUCE lot before know Hr. Brotherton's origin had been so hemble.bnt that it rendered him more proud "(I w’wnmm’ than he had ever before been in the House of Com— mons. to think that a person risen from that condi- tion should be able to sit side b side. on equal terms W“.

LECTURE BEFORE THE ROMAN (.‘ATIIOLKflflENEVOLENT AB- SOCIATION, BY RICHARD O'UOHMAN. —— Cooper Institute was well filled on the evening of March 11 by a select and intelligent audience to listen to a lecture by Hon. Richard O‘Gorman on Oliver Gold- smith. The lecturo was delivered under the auspices of the Young Men's Roman Catholic Benevolent So- ciety. and the proceeds are to be devoted to the erection of a monument in Calvary Cemetery on the plot belcng~ ing to the Association. The lecturer was introduced by the President of the Society. and. in opening his lecture. said he had been unable to ascertain the name of the philosopher who started the theory that i: was a bad thing to attempt to do to-dsy what could be done to-morrow ; but following that theory himself recently. he allowed the time to drag on until a few days ii a, passing up Fourth Avenue. he was startled to see is name in a very large poster. one end of it obscured bv a graceful sketch of young ladies dancin in the “Black Creek." He was ed by this to remcm r the fact that it was his duty to deliver a lecture before them that evenin . and then he began to think what a startling position e was in. He went in search of subjects for the occasion—dismal sub- jects. Ila went to Albany. and was present at some meeting of the Legislature. (Laughton) lie read the lecture of M Agassiz on the question as to whether men were mat or monkey; but these things still had something comic in them. At last he gave himself up to the study of the Congressional debates. and then he at on good dismal round. (Laughter and applause.) he result was that 0 got seriously ill; the thing was too much for him. He called in a physician. who told him that an indiscriminate use of ardent news apcrs tended to a rush of the blood to the head. find on see he gave up those studies he could not recover. (Laughton) If. therefore. they found anything in his lecture provok- ing a laugh. the would please make allowance for the Condition he hs-lbeen brought to. He did not know that they had ever marked that there was in almost every society a class of cople whom it was very hard to understand. In Eng and they called them scapegraces. in America. loafers. but in reland. where that class of individuals was found. they dealt with them gently. and called a man of that kind a genius. (Laughter and applause) The little llslly- mahon. a little more than a century ago. possessed a perfect specimen of‘ this class. file father. a minister of the parish. had shortly before died. leavin behind him a widow. and a scanty stock of goods. ‘he Rev. Chas. Goldsmith came of the some queer stock. It was a sort of boast of the family that they never acted like other people. The second son. christened Oliver. had finished his course in Trinity College as a sizcr. or cor scholar. and was then at home enjoying unlimited idleness end the dignified title of bachelor of arts. He was then 20 years of cg] , and few men of his years had 'css to boast of. In p ysical a pursues he was quite ugly. and his temper was fit it and wayward. llis mental endowments gave but little promise of redccm~ ing his personal defects. In college. his career had been an utter failure. Strange stories had preceded him at Ballymahon of various freaks and follies. An oflicer had invaded the precincts of old Trinity to serve a writ on one of the students. but was seized and made to swallow the parchment and then ut under a pump of water. He he also distinguishe himself among the students by writing and singing street ballads. The young man was without means. and was as proud and sensitive as be was poor. and the stray shillings he often earned by the sale of these doggerels were ojten needed to save him from actual starvation. But ough poor. he had a tender and benevolent heart. and was ever ready to aid others. He had been known. in e parokysm of piety. to take 06' his coat in the street and give it to some poor stretch whose necessities were greater than his own. and one winter he gave, away his blankets to a poor family. and cutting a hole in his bed. stowed himself snagl among its feathers. The family fiat had gone forth t at he should be a churchmen.— There was even a pleasant fiction among them that he was deep in theology. but " sufficient for the do is the evil thereof." comprised about the whole of he theo- logy. Some choice spirits there were around Ball mahon.—- There be strung together and organised a clu . and they sang Irish songs. and told Irish stories. and drank innu- merable tumblers of Irish whiskey punch. Two years of this idle. careless, 'olly life passed by. For his own an. he would have sen content to dream away his tfe at Ballytnahon ; but the family would not allow him. They were bent on his being an ornament to the minis- try. IIe presented himself to the bishop of the diocese for ordination. and was. of course. rejected. to the in- finite chagrin of the family. and no doubt to his own satisfaction. An uncle of his then procured for him a ositicn as tutor in a small family. He eta ed there on enough to get some thirty pounds and a one. and wit these be determined to start out in life on his own account. He determined to go to America. He bid his friends good~by and started for Cork. But in that city he met a young man whom he knew; was tempted to take one ll of the cup of pleasure before he took his departure. l e took one sip. two sips. three sips. and soon fortune found him. not on his way to America. but ridin .Iltll apcnitent heart up to his mother‘s house. with Is mono all gone. and a jaded horse whom the owner called ‘iddlcbsgs. He did not receive a very cordial welcome. and turned from the door and never entered it again. His uncle a sin came to his aid. and advised him to settle down to t c study of the law. He gave him £50. and with this Oliver started for London. Unluckily. on the road to London he passed through Dublin. the place where he had spent his college do I. Here he met a youn man who played a amc cf ve and ten. and in a s on time Oliver went ack without the £60, and with a heavier load of disgrace upon hint. A sin his friends hel ed him. and advised him to o to It) Snburgh to study or a physician. In Edinherg he spent eighteen months. affecting to study medicine. and forced to get money by giving tmtion. lle then went to Leydcn. ostensibly to attend lectures. but spent most of his time in dissipation. lint afterwards, borrowing a few guineas from an Irish fellow-student. he set. out to seek his fortune in the wide world. lie had with him a flute. and in the remote villages and mountain chalets he at on very well hyflaying. but whenever he tried to c arm more educate ears his failure was complete.— liut there was for every man his own destiny. which he could not escape. and Oliver's fate beckoned him on until it brought him to the scene of his labors. One raw Februar night. he found himself in London without a home. a s illing. or a friend. Here he lived a wretched life for a time. the worst of which was never known by his friends. Iiut on one occasion, being at the bed-side of a sick journeyman printer. he learned that his employer was an author. and soon obtained from him a position as roof reader and corrcetor for the press. Afterwards e accepted a situation as usher in Dr. Millner‘s school. at I’cchhain. There he became acquainted with a man named Grlfliths. for whom be en- gagedto write criti use. He was then 29 years old when he thus sold himself for bread. He then compiled a book entitled "An inquiry into the present state of elite literature in Europe." lie wanted to get it pub- lished by subscription. but failed. llsaven had pity on him at last. and sent him a friend in the person of Sam Johnston. whose sequintance he made three Thomas I’cl‘cey. Percey chanced to read one of oldsmiih’s essays written for bread, was struck with its sparkling. unaffected style. and spoke of him to Johnson. Gold- smith guve a little sup er in honor of the occasion. and the friendst began t t night lasted until one of them was cold in t e grave. The lecturer here gave an interestin sketch of John ston and the other content orsries of oldsmith. Burke. Hogarth. Ite colds. and awkins, who. With others. be- lon ed to t a famous club which their names have ms e historic. “The Vicar of Wakefield” he wrote and laid away in his drawer. where it remained for some time. but music in debt to his landlady. she sent the bailifl'aflcr him. when Goldsmith, through the aid of Johnson. sold the manuscript. paid the landlady, and locked the bailiff down stairs. “The Goodonaturcd Man“ brought him £800. But though his' income was increased. his debts kept pace with it. an be was eon- stautl in an anxious state of mind. whic rcycd upon his Vitals. and. with his other bad bab ts. induced disease. which gradually brou ht him to the grave.— l.ifc'e fitful fever was over. ant the poor.

Mr. Q‘Gorman was attentively listened to throughout. and his sallies of wit and beauties of description were fre- quently applauded by an admiring audicn on. FENIAN MOVEMENTS. [Correspondence New York Herald.) Borneo, March 16, 1867. Next to Chicago. this city is unquestionably the stronghold of Feuienism—that is, the kind of Fenian- ism known west of New York city, which embodies as its cardinal principle the erection of an Irish re- public on the ruins of the provincial confederation. and its transfer afterwards. when its blessin s have been duly appreciated, to the more cogenia air of the Emerald Isle. The Fenians. with this idea. and no other idea has half a dozen supporters here. number fifteen hundred—a small force, perhaps, but it forms such a determined and thoroughly dicipliucd nucleus that on the locale of invasion being sounded it could easily rally five times the number. The men composing this body drill as regularly as’the militia; they are for the most part a soldicrly and veteran set—such fellows as ask only a plug of to- bacco to rush on an errand into the jaws of death. into the gates of hell. or any more dangerous place where li e is at a premium. A great many of those who fought as Greek to Greek in the late war are enrolled in Fenian ranks here and feel a singular in- clination to cross over in any good cause at all and measure their mettle with the Britishers. There is no foundation. however, for the rumors afloat that they are about to make an immediate ir- ruplion into Canada from Bufi‘aim St. Alban's or any other point along the border. In Pittsburg. Fort Wayne, Cleveland, Toledo. Chico o and here they are only one-third prepared to begin the move- ment they contemplate ; and as they are determined not to move until the greater part of their rifles are converted into breech-loaders, their entire force unlformcd. and the money raised for transportation to the border. it is needless for the Canadians to put. their donglin volunteers to the discomfort of answer- ing every false alarm. It will occupy a little time longer. giving a disinterested notice to both govern- ments, ere the Fenian venegunrd, thirty thousand strong. can take the field. Even if they were at present prepared I doubtif the Fenians. hardy fel- lows though they be. feel any inclination to fight amid the snows or to endure the disagreeabka quence of ancnmping in Canada. where surly winter lingers so long in the lap of spring. In P'ittsbul' the Fenians profess to be able to raise two full regi- mcnts.and equip. arm and transport the same in one night to this city. Transportation from here to Canada‘s icy strand may be generally considered not of the question, ifa really respectable force is to be embarked ; but if the public were only partially aware of the ample means in that respect at the dis- posal of these cesicmptihle Fonisns. and the plan laid down for making said means so far available that even the lynx-eyed Custom House officials of Buffalo will find it lively work to disaver where they are or where they go to. the movement might be rescued from the odium of paltriness in which it is held. It must. however. be admitted that if Colonel O‘Neill had not sent the (Jason's Own dying atapaee of two-forty from the old of Ridgeway this organization would have, to use a classical ex- pression “ healed out." It is plain that the Queen’s Own have a great deal to answer for to their countrymen who intrustsd them with the post of honor. Their ignominions retreat. so rapidly. too. that their pursuors gave up the chase. inspired an egotiem and confidence in the Feuiass thm eeceuragsd more than ever the action that the conquest of Canada was among the things perfectly possible. The events of last year. the in- terposition of the strong arm of the United States Government. the recklessness and want of arrange- ment in the plans of the invaders. and the ridiculous disproportion of their means to the end to be-rattain- mined were all lost sight of in the victory of O'Neill. from which source the Fonians draw the comforting assurance that if they go it strong this time. the Queen's Own multiplied twenty times will be beaten in the same ratio. One tn. however. is certain—that if they put in the field the thirty thousand men they speak of. in three divisions. aiming first to cut off Canada West (an operation not so very dilileult. according to the opinion of military officers.) and that concert of action 1;. . foremost consideration. together with a certain de. gree of during directed to a strategic object. it will give the hapless Canadians auough to do to preserve their flrcsides from desecration by the irrepressible Fenians. The proposed erection of a monarchy in Canada at this particular time gives infinite joy to the Brothers- hnod. They believe it is the handwriting on the wall, which proclaims the passing away of the firi- tieh Americas possessions. or the last straw oath. airedy over-strained vertebra of poor. bothered. and much-to-he-pitied Canada.
