NSTICK TO IT.n

The very doctrine of all others. "!Stick 10
it," Who ever knew a mortal to enrol him.
self under this banner, and come out the lit.
tie end of the horn! Nobody, we'll be bound
Its principle, acted up to with rectitude, pur.
pose, heart and soul, would keep any man a.
bove water and in blue sky.
"Stick 10 it," It's the very history of sue
cess in epitome. All history, all experience;
the triumph of mind, art, literature, every
great and noble work is its direct and appro-
pirate illustration. He who would be, do
gain, make, save, achieve anything in what
ever department OF life, trade, politics, religion
philanthropy, or love, must make it his first
and last object of solicitude-the Alpha and
Omega of his aspiration and action.
Tell US, young man, who ever did a thing
worth note, that did not "stick to it," Look
around you among your acquaintances. and
see who is, and who is not "Someihing." In
him who is deservedy famous and honoret
you will find the man who, years ago, in the
strength, determination, energy, and light o.
an all conquering resolution said, "IH stitch
10 IT," and who did, and has stuck to it ever
since.
What has made great lawyers, statesmen
divines, artists, What has made Webster
a Chonte, Brougham, a Kossuth! Simply
and solely, and truly, by choosing something
real and vital, and sticking 10 ii. And il yol

NEWSPAPERS.

The celebrated writer, "Junius," thus
speaks of newspapers. We commend it to
the attention of all:
"They who conceive our newspapers are
no restraint upon bad men, or impediment to
the execution of bad measures, know nothing
of this country. Our ministers and magis-
trates have really little punishment to fear
and few difficulties to contend with, beyond
the censure of the press and the spirit of re.
sstance it excites among the people. While
this censorial power is maintained, to speak
in the words of most ingenious foreigner
'both ministers and magistrates are COMPEL.
ed, in almost every instance to choose between
his duty and his reputation A dilemma o.
this kind perpetually before him, will not, in
deed, work miracles on his heart, but it viii
assuredly operate in some degree upon hi
conduct"
