Look Ahead.

=, Y oung man, II you Will carefully peruse the
following article, copied from the Portland Tri.
bune, you will perceive why so many business
men fail Of success in the prosecution Of their
undertakings
"Ehe reason why so many young men fail IN
business, and burden themselves with debt in
the onset of life, is neglecting to look ahead
How many enter into speculatiOns, or make a
purchase of goods without thinking on, or car
ing for the consequences. We have frequent
y marked the course pursued by many worthy
young men, now embarrassed and without cred
it, who, in no. rejecting on their course and
not looking 10 the consequences, have, embark
ed in business with which they were totally
unacquainled, and seemingly prosperous for a
time, but eventually failed, and lost The conf
dence Of their creditors, without possibility Of
ever being free from debt.
"a man with small capital will commence
business for himself; and without looking ahead
10 the day when his notes become due; live ex-
travagansy, and spend large amount in horse
hire, and on parties of pleasure; and the first
inimation he has, that his credit is lost, is the
authoritative voice of the sheriff at his counter,
who has commenced taking an inventory oi his
goods. Hundreds of like cases are yearly oc-
curing, which should teach young men an i'm.
porant lesson to look ahead; 10 make small
purchases TO stick closely to their business,
and to live within their means. BY one mis-
calculation one error in judgment; one breach
of confidence, youth may be ruined, and neV-
er again have the privilege of conducting bu-
siness in his own name.
Look around you, and tell US who are our
most prosperous merchants and mechanics =
They are those who are prudent and attentive
to business who have entered into no specu-
ations without forethought and investigation
of those; who invariably look ahead, when any
project is presented for their countenance and
support. There, is no one case in fifty where
a young man fails in business, which cannot be
traced 10 his neglect TO look ahead when urged
TO make large purchases, or solicited TO enter
into speculalions. Young men learn wisdom.
Never-never lift finger 10 act, without look
ing 10 the consequences, without asking your
self if you can consistently, with your cred
it and your obligations to others, do. thus and
so. Then, our word for it, you will succeed;
il cannot be otherwise. Your creditors seeing
the judicious management of your affairs, and
your attention 10 business; will be a thousand
times more ready TO lend you assistance, and
if not perfectly convenient, will often favor you
in the payment of their demands. Remember,
then, the secret Of success; and in every un-
dertaking have the consequences and the end
in view.

The Way of Success.

True hope is on energy of character. A
strong mind always hopes, and has always cause
to hope, because it knows the muiability of hu-
man affairs, and how slight circumstance
may change the whole course of events. Such
spirit, too, rests upon itself. II is not confin-
ed TO partial views, or 10 the one particular OBJ
iect; and if at last it should be lost, it has saved
itseIf--its own integrity and worth. ponce
Hope awakens courage, while despondency
is the last OF all evils; it is the abandonment Of
good-the giving up of the battle o(lile with dead
nolhingness. He who can implaut courage in
the human soul,i its best physician. Icy
To seek 10 govern men by their fears and
their wants is an unworthy purpose. The de-
sire to rule by means Of cowardice is itself
cewardice. Love inspires courage and hope,
and lhusis doubly the giver and preserver of life,
Whatever teaches us boldly to comba, the
manifold doubts and assaults of life, enables us
to win the crown Of victory. Special care
ought therefore to be taken in education toteach
what true courage is--as well in social and do
mesiic, as in public affiairs-and by what means
it may be best sustained.

About two in the morning on Friday last,
innumerable meieors of surprising beauty were
perceptible in the heaven. Vast myriads of
shooting stars were seen darting through the
air in S. S. w. directions. leaving long and
brilliant train of light. The whole atmosphere
was Illuminated, and at one period the light
was SO great, as to have enabled 4 person to
read the smallest print with the utmost facility.
This magnificent, spectacle was visible during
period of ten or twelve minutes Calcutta

A Fact.

A man in the town of NJ. N. H., had,
while from home, earned about Sc, returned
the other day to his family with the cash.
His wife told him that during his absence his
family had suffered for food. He replied
will 60 to store and buy what is wanted, and
then we shall have enough. He had refraned
from drink for some lime but On arriving al the
grocery, it was found he had money, and he
was invited to drink lille beer-then some
thing stronger-iill he goi drunk, spent all his
money for rum, and returned to his half starved
family at o'clock in the morning, penniless
The poor wife was greatly distressed, and
on the next evening ventured TO 60 TO the wife
of the rum seller, told the story of her suffering
fanly-and the manner in which her husband
had been made a pauper, &c. whereupon the
good lady filled large basket with pork, bread,
coffee, sugar, &c, and then calling her hus-
band, into the entry, in presence of The drunk
ards wife, said-"Last night you took from
this poor womau's husband all his money for
rum; have now filled basket full of articles
of food, and so long as yon continue to sell IL
quor 10 get men drunk, and take from them
their money, thereby making their families
poor and miserable, will deal out 10 them
from the house all they may want 10 support
them" This was more than the husband
could stand /; the next morning he went 10 his
store and empiied every cask, decanter and
bOtlle of liquor into the road, saying he would
no longer sell liquid fire, but would keep

Distraining for Rent.

"Speaking of Turkey" we heard an exien-
sive tale yesterday. 1t was told us by the
Doctor. A man up town, on going 10 dinner
day or two ego, found a magnificent turkey,
weighing fifteen or twenty pounds, smoking
hot on the table AS he smaeked his lips in
anticipation Of his pleasure. be happened to
recollect that ne had himself purchased par
OF ducks IN market that morning, and began to
wonder how they became transformed into the
dish before him.
"Ben," said he TO the boy waiting upon him,
where the devil did this turkey come 'front.'"
"Why, sa," replied Ben, .".dai al. turkey is
bin roostin' on our fence dis tree night an dis
mornin' seize him for de rent Of de fsncer'
A great niger that! We have shrewd
suspicion that he understands the laws of Tur-
key much better than his master.
