How TO MAKE A FoRTUNE.-Take earn
cstly hold of lie, as capacilatcd for, and des-
tined to high and noble purpose. Study
closely the minds bent for labor or pro-
fession. Adopt it early, and pursue it stcadi-
ly, never looking back to the turned furrow,
but forward to the new ground, that eve:
remains to be broken. Means and ways are
abundant to every mans success, if vii! and
action are rightly adapted to them. Our
rich men and our great men. have carved
their paths to fortune ard fame by this eter-
nal principle principle thai cannot fail to
reward its votary, if it be resclutely pur-
sued. To sigh or repine over lack Of inheri-
tancc, is unmanly. Every man shonld strive
to be creator instead Of inheritor. He
should bcqucath instead of borrow. The
human race, in this respect, want dignity
and discipline. 1t prefers to wic'd the sword
of valorous fo-efataers, to forging its own
weapons. This is mean and ignoble spirit.
Let every man be conscious of the God in
him, and the providence over him, and fight
his own good lance. Let him feel that it is
better to earn crust, than to inherit Golfers
of gold. This spirit of self nobility, once
learned, and every man will discover within
himself, under God tho clements and capaei.
ty or wealth. He will be rich, in self-re'
source. and can lift his face proudly to meet
the noblest among men.-N. Y. Sun.
