Rotr on" For the first five years
of 10y professional life, once said gentle.
man TO US | had to row agains, wind and
tide And what did you do ? was our
question. DO replied he do, why !
rowed on, TO be sure. And so he did row
on, and to good purpose too, until he
came 10 the open sea took favorable breez.
es aud brought his voyage TO most sue
cessful termination, leaving behind him
mos, enviable reputation Of worth and
wisdom -imprcssiug the mark Of his strooe
mind and excellent character, deep aud
clear on the community in which he lived
aud obtaining an immortality, worth moro
than a monarch's crown, 10 the respectful
memory Of thousands. His remark de.
serves 10 be remembered as q motto. The
great business of oil IS 10 row on With
uua,nchng courage, and steady persever
ence. Alllrades and professions have their
difficulties, and almost every individual
meets with discoura2ements-.the only
way, therefore, 10 20 ahead, is to row on.
Decision OF chsfacier-de,ermin Of
slll-ihs resolution 10 press on, when sure
We are on the right track, or in pursuit Of
q good and hocorable end-,hs Is the Sc
cret Of living, SO as 10 come out at last safe
and sound. There are hons 10 every
path, and they must be net and conquered
or the hope at ultimate success must be
abandoned. A poor man, with tribe Of
children, finding work hard TO get, and hard
when Il is got. sometimes wall ALMOST des
pair every thing will seem TO be against
him, but let him no, be cas-, down--let him
row on, and by and BY matters will very
likely grow brighter. As with tho poor
man, so with all meo. Head winds are TO
be expected; contrary currents will come (;
the tide does not always run with Us, bot
neser mind, row on; poll The harder, TIL
the oars bend again, and victory Sil wait
upon and reward patient endeAyOrs.
Aye; "Rop on !" Pull but the stronger,
tao more the waves buffet sou and the gales
howl. Lus,y arms, good oars and stout
heart are The only hope "a haid aird II
you let your sineW slackeu, YOU 90 ashore,
and are dashed TO pieces. Courage then.
Pull away Be OF tina, good cheer which
a hear, resolved steadily TO mrei our du,y
ever keeps about US. They who, 10 The
widest tempest,
bate not one lot
+ OF hear, or hope but still look up, and steer
/ Right onward"
are the only ones who deserve or can expect
TO survive the storm.
Woman rs. " Lr1g We have sever.
oil times IN conversation, been corrected
by the fasiidiously refined for uslng the
word Woman. instead OF lady. Woman, II
say they, Z" Is a coarse common word."-
It's no such thing. II is the bes, word in
the English language. Suppose Scott, 10
his noble tribute TO the eek, for their devo.
ted tenderness 10 US when Under afllclion,
had written,
"oh, ladies, in our hours Of ease" &c.
would be not have destroyed the richness
of the passagcl We think so.
/ Ladies' are, to our mind, creatures OF
education, fashion and refinement, made up

aud the dressmsker; Aiags oi elegance,
ard gmce, Nhich We mas admire wrtho1;

cd aud lovely ,romeA,' however, are be.
ln2s, with earm, true hearts, aud pure,
holy and gushing Affections, whom 10 know
IS not only 10 admire, but to revere and love.
We tax our powers Of pleasing lddy--we
would If need be, pour out our blood like
water for a WOMAN Memphis Enquirer.
