ENERGY OF CHARAcTER.-Energy Of
character is the philosophers stone. of his
life. and should be. engraved upon every
heart-lt is that which has peopled the
temple of fame-lhat which has filled The
historic pages with great names, and the
civil and military world-that which has
brought race from barbarism, drawn the
veil from science, and developed the Won
drous powers of nature--it makes men
great. and makes men rich. First or last
it brings success. Without it Webster
would have been New Hampshire law
yer-Tom Ewing buckeye salt boiler
Ben Franklin a journeyman printer
Without it,. Demoslhenes, would have
slammcred on 10 his grave, and Cincin-
natns died common soldier. Shakes
pcarc would have been shot for poaching
Pope died selling tape; Roscoe lived
selling heer. by the SMALL and Napoleon
gone out the world Corsicau bully
With it each one has not only done much
good for himself, much for his day aud
generation, but much for the world in the
past, the present and the future. 49,.
Energy of character will do the same
thing for any man in small way 'ha, it
has done for those. Give The lawyer en-
ergy Of character, and he will succeed at
The bar without talent 1t is the secretly
which The merchant, the artist,the scholar
aud the mechanic arrive at distinction and
wealth. lf,hey fall once. they try again;
no contrary winds beat hem down: or: it,
down, they will not stay down. The man
who has energy of character; will rise in
spite Of fortune and in spite Of opposilions
Give man energy, and he is a made man
pul him where you will. II is this fact
that gives MS confidence that the American
people will rise from their present depres-
sions as soon us the blast has blown over
that lhrewn them down. In defiance Of
banh suspension, bad currency, and every
other evil that malice and ignorance can
fix upon them, the penple Of this country
have energy enough 10 rise aud to prosper.
He who gives UP in despair, and cuts a.
way the SHEETS Of bis canvass, because he
finds contrary. winds in his passage, is but
poor navigator ".
