DEPEND ON YOURSELF.

The editor of the Albany Knickerbocker is
sensible fellow. There is more truth than pc
etry in the following, which we copy from hi,
81 icy paper:
bad luck, as well as mischances and msfor.
tune, are all the daughters of misconduct, and
sometimes the mother Of success, prosperity
ard advancement. To be thrown upon ones re.
sources is 10 be cast into the very lap of for
tune. Had Franklin entered Philude phia with
thousand dollars in his pocket, instead OF one
shilling and nnepencc, in all probability he
would have gone on "spree," instead of hun
tlng up employ ment, and died at thirty five
fl ON driving tandem teams. and drinking bran
dy -smashers, instead OF living TO the green old
age OF eighty, and dying philosopher, whose
amusement was the tanning OF thunder bols,
and boiling up lightning, Had Napoleoa's
father been the owner OF the princely estate,
his son would never got to be Emperor. A
good kick out of doors is better for a boy than
all the rich unces in the world. One never
tries 10 swim so hard as when he has to DO 1t
| or drown
