For education is not simply the training of the mind in literature and science. It comprehends, in its true sense, everything that develops the powers of man and evokes his energies ; everything that shapes his pur- poses, fixes his habits, and moulds his character, whether in his physical, his intellectual, or his moral being. And Lincoln had, in his youth, three schoolmasters, whose lessons perchance he could not afford to lose, even if the highest refinements of the university were offered h...im in exchange, — three stern, but profitable teachers. Poverty, Hardship, and Toil. These knit his frame, and gave him that strength of nerve and sinew, without which he could never have borne the burden of those cares of state, the heaviest ever laid on mortal brain ; these taught him energy and self-reliance, — two of the best lessons man can learn, — endowed him with that strength which can only be gained by surmounting obstacles, — gave him a knowledge of men and things, such as few attain, except those who like him have to hew their own pathway through the forests of life, — and taught him to sympathize 13 with the toiling millions, who constitute the larger portion of our race, Nay, even as regards his intellectual culture, in this age, when the multiplicity of books presents such strong temp- tations to superficial reading, and gaining a smattering of many things rather than proficiency in a few, that was hardly an unkind fortune which supplied his eager mind in boyhood with few books, especially when they were so fit : the Bible, Pilgrim's Progress, iEsop's Fables, the Bio- graphies of Washington, Clay, and Franklin, and Plu- tarch's Lives of the illustrious men of Greece and Eome I To these books, thoroughly read, some of them over and over again, and well digested, as they were, how much may he have been indebted lor that fixedness of moral and religious principle, that pure and lofty patriotism, that shrewdness and sagacity, and that fondness for apologue and racy, telling illustration, for which he was so dis- tinguished.
