page sleeping on sofa. About to wake
him, he perceived the end Of billet hang

mother of the young man, who thanked
him for having sent her part of his wages,
to assist her in distress; and it concluded
by beseeching God TO bless him for his filial
goodness. The king returned softly to

Carry a Thing Through.

Garry thing through. That's it; don't
do anything else If you once wideawak-
edly begin thing, let it be carried through
though it costs you your comfort, time, en-
ergy. and all that you command. We
heartily abominate this turning backward,
this wearying and fainting OF soul and pur.
pose. Hspeaks imbeeiH,y of min, want
ofcharacter, courage, true manliness.
Garry thing through. DON'T begin
until you are fully prepared for its accom-
plishment Think, study, dig, till you
know your ground, see your way. This
done. launch out with all your soul, life,
heart and fire, neither turning to the left
nor light. Push on gigantically-push as
though you were born for the very work
you are about beginning, as though crea>
ton had been waiting through all time for
your especial hand and spirit. Then you
will do something worthy yourself and
kind. II
Garry thing through. Don't leap and
daily from one thing TO anorher. No man
ever did anything in that way. You can't.
Be strong minded. Be plucksh, patient,
consistent. Be hopeful, stern, manly
When once fairly in work DON'T give up.
Don't disgrace yourself, by being on this
thing to-day, on that to- morrow, and on
another next day. We don't care if you
are the most active mortal living; we dom,
care if you labor night and day, in season
and out; be sure the end of your life will
show nothing if you perpetually change
from object to object Fortune, fame, sue
cess, and position, are never gained but by
piously, determinedly, bravely sticking,
growing lively to thing until it is fairly
accomplished.
10 short, you must carry n thing through
if you would be anybody or anything. No
matter if it denies you the pleasures of
society and the thousand yearly gratifica-
lions of life. No matter of these. Stick
to anything and carry it through. Believe
you we're made for the matter, and that no
person else can do it at all. Put forth
your whole individual energies. Stir, wake,
electrify yourself, and go forth to the task.
Only once learn 10 carry thing through
in all its completeness and proportion, and
you will become hero. You will think
better Of yourself, and others will think
better ofyou. Of cours they will. The
world, in its heart, admires the stern deter
mined doer. 1t sees in him its best sight,
its highest object, its richest treasure
Drive on, then, whatever you undertake.
Consider yourself amply sufficient for the
deed. You'll succeed, never fear.
