Industry is Talent.

We often hear persons explaining how
one man succeeds, while another fails in
the same pursuit, by attributing to one
talent fox lis business, but refusing it to
the other. Yet, without denying that
some individuals have greater aptitude
for particular avocations than others have,
we think that the problem in question
could be easier solved, by saying that the
successful man was industrious, while the
other was not.
Bulwer, for example, is considered
man Of the highest abilities as novelist.
Yet when Bulwar began his career he
composed with the utmost difficulty, often
writing his fctiOns twice over. He per-
severed, however, and now stands almost
at the head of his class, his latest produc-
tlons, moreover, being regarded as the
best from his pen. Every schoolboy is
familiar with the fact that Demosthenes
became an orator only by pursuing SIM
liar plan. Nor are Illustrations of the
great truth, that industry is talent, conhn-
ed to the higher intellectual pursuits.
When Girard trusted :he customer with
out an endorser, who carried his goods
home on his shoulders, the shrewd old
Frenchman was acting on this truth, de-
duced from his own experience Of man
kind. All eminent persons, whether me-
chanics, merchants, lawyers, or statesmen.
were industrious, from Watt and Norris
down TO Thurlow and VIM. Pitt. Wash
ington, Franklin, Marshall, Madison, and
every other distinguished American, were
business men. Industry, in short, is tai
ent nine times out of ten.

Interesting TO Ladies.

Under the title of "Mrs. GrumbIe's 5
SoliIoquy," Fanny Fern contributes the
following TO the Musical " orId and Times:
"There's no calculating the difference
between men and women boarderS. Here :
Mr.. Jones, been in my house these six
months, and no more trouble to me than
my gray kitten. If his bed is shook up
once a week, and his coats, cravats, love-
letters, cigars and patent-leather boots left
undisturbed in the middle Of the floor, lie
is as contented as pedagogue in vacation
time. Take a woman to board, and (It
ii is perfectly convenient she would like
drapery, instead Of drop curtains she d
like the windows altered to open at the
top, and a wardrobe for her hounced
dresses, and a few more nails, and another
shelf in her closet, and bench to put her
feet upOa, and little rocking chair, and
big looking glass, and peagreen shade
for her gas burners. She would like
breakfast about ten minutes later than your
usual hour, tea ten minutes earlier, and
the gong. which shocks her nerves so, al
together dispensed with. She can't drink
coffee, because it is eXhiIarating; broma
is TOO insipid, and chocolate too heavy.
She don't fancy cocoa. English break
fast tea is the only beverage which agrees
with her delicate spinster organization.
She can't digest roast or fried dish A;
she might possibly peck at an egg, if II
were boiled with one eye on the watch.
Pastry she never eats, unless she knows
from what dairy the butter comes which
enters into its composition. Every article
of food prepared with butter, salt, pepper,
mustard, vinegar or oil or bread that Is
made with yeast, soda, milk or saIeratus,
she decidedly rejects. She is constantly
washing out little duds of laces, collars,
handkerchiefs, chemisets and stockings,
which she festoons up TO the front-wln-
dows, TO dry 4; giving passers-by the I'M
preston that your house is occupied by a
jImlchiSSeu8e then jerks the bell-wire
for an hour or more, for relays of the
smoothing-irons, TO put the finishing
stroke to her operations. She is often
afflicted with interesting little colds and
infuenzas, requiring the immediate con-
ISOLATION of dose of hot lemonade or GIN
gertea, choosing her time for these COM
plants when the kitchen fire has gone
out, and the servants are on a furlOugh.
O! nobody knows, but those who've
tried, how immensely troublesome women
are! I'd rather have a whole regiment Of
men boarGers. All you have TO do is 10
wind them up in the morning with pow
erful cup of coffee give them carte 6imlche
to smoke, and a night key, and your
work is done.

The mDear,, Creatures.

"Willoughby," a versatile correspon-
dent of the New York Commercial, thus
graphically describes some of the dscom-
forts which attend the genilemen-traveller
in railroad car :
| had an amusing journey hither. |
come up in the night express train. Be-
ing an old mean an experienCed-trav-
eler, took due precaution 10 secure
good seat: but before | had occupied it
ten inmates, lady expressed so strong a
preference for it over her own, that gallan-
try impelled me 10 prefer an exchange.
Woman's wish is mans law, however
unscriplural the practice may be, so taking
up my rod and gun, suffered the punish
ment with my usual good temper, and
buried the annoyance of my rejection deep
in the pages of Herbert's interesting
"Field Sports" for it was yet daylight,
and | dislike to waste "precious hours"
of railway travel in starting in straight
line, out of the two feet square opening, in
the side Of railroad car, which custom
styles window.
"Soona as the evening shades prevailed, "
a vacant seat fell 10 my lot, and | yielded
TO the temptation to recline. Scarcely had
| done so, before that seat was given up to
another lady, who, | saw, vainly courting
sleep in more upright attitude. Ten
minutes afterward, in obedience to an ap-
peal from yet another fair one, was hun
ting up water at depot for thirsty child,
at risk Of being left behind by the tram,
and very soon afterwards the said child,
six or eight years old, was sleeping with
profound comfort in my arms, It's mother
having expressed quite loud enough for
any gentleman to hear her, an aPprehen.
sion that the child would fall and be hurt.
Do not tell me, gentlemen, that travelling
is wlthoutitS pleasures.
