any man viii look around and notice who
have got rich and who have not, out of
those he started in life with, he viii find
that the successful have generally stuck
10 some one pursuits. Two lawyers for
example begin to practice at the same time.
one devotes his whole mind to his profess

ing, and waits patiently, it may be for
years, till he gains an opportunity to show
his superiority. The other, tired Of such
slow work, dashes into politics. General
", at the end doftwenty years, the latter VIII

have handsome practice, and count his
tens Of thousands in bank stock or mortga-
ees. Two clerks attain majority simul>
faneously. One remains with his former
employers, or at least in the same line OF
trade, at first on small salary, then on a
larger, until finally, if he is meritorious,
he is taken into partnership. The other
thinksit is beneath him to fill a subordinate
position, now that he has become man.
and accordingly starts in some other bust
ness on his own account, or undertakes 4
new firm in the old line Of trade. Where
does he end? Often in insolvency, rarely
in riches. To this every merchant cal
tastify. A young man is breda mechanic
He acquires distate for his trade, how
ever; thinks it tedious way to get ahea'
and sets out for the West or for California
But in most cases, the same restless, dis
contented, and speculative spirit whicl
carried him away at first, renders contin
uous applications at any one place irksom
to ohim; and so he goes wandering abor
the world, sort Of semi-ciyilized Aral
really vagrant in character, and sure
