HOW TO sUCCEEu.

Take earnestly hold Of life, as capac;.
tated for, and destined to high and
noble purpose and end. Study closely
the minds bent for labor or a profession.
Adopt some pursuit early, follow it stoad-
lily, never looking backward to tie turned
furrow, but always forward to the new
ground that ever remains to be broken,
Means and ways arc abundant to every
mans success, If will and action are rightly
adapted to them. Our rich men and our
great men, have carved thor paths to for.
tune and fame by this rule-a rule that,
cannot fail to reward its votary if it 10
resolutely pursued. To sigh or repino
over lack Of inheritance is humanity.
every man should strive to be a Gro
ator rather than an inhcritor. He should
bequeath rather than borrow. The
human race in this respect, wants dignity
and discipline. 1t prefers welding the
sword of valorous forefathcrs TO forging
Its own weapons. This is mean ignobie
spirit. Lot every man be conscious of tho
god in him, and the Providence over him.
and fight his own battle with his own
good lance. Let him feel that it is noblor
to eat crust than to inherit Golfers
This spirit of nobility once learned, and
every man will discover within himself
under God, the elements and capacities
of wealth. He will be rich-inestimably
rich in self-resources, and can lift his face
proudly to meet the nohlest among mon."

PASS III ALONG.

Yes, pass it along, whether you believe
it or not--that one-sided whisper against
the character Of a virtuous female. You
say you don't believe ii, but you viii usa
your influence to bear up the false report,
and pass it Oh the current. Strange crea.
lures are mankind! How many hearts
have been bled by n whisper -how many
benevolent deeds have been chilled by
the shrug Of q shoulder; how many ipdi-
v'duals have been Stunned by gentle
mysterious hint; how many early graves
have been dug by falso report. Yet
you will pass the SANDER along; YOU will
keep it above hot water by the wag of
your tongue, when you might sink i.
forever. Destroy the passion for telling
q tale, we pray you. Lisp not a word
that may injure the char ,cter of another.
If the female has erred, forgive her and
forget the past. She has wounds enough
without the fangs Of SANDERS tongue.
Be- determined to tell no story that is 70.
peated to the injury of another, and as far
rs you are concerned the. SANDER will die.
But tell it once, and it may go on the
wings of the wind---increasing with each
breath, till it has circulated through the
State, and brought to the grave ono who
might have Iced and been a blessing to
the world.

COLOMBO THE GIRLs

WISCONSIN,.

What we have seen of that State, gives
us an idea of Il yigor unsurpassed IN the
entire North West; Of resources Of mine
and mind, of soil and muscle, that will
render it one of the most prosperous and
noble States in the confederacy. The
thought and means it freely gives TO
schools; the thriving towns it is constantly
building; not an idle stream will eventu-
ally meandcr through its bosom; not q
bed of ore it will not disturb; not field
it will leave uncultivated. True, there is
labor to be done, but Wisconsin possesses
the muscle to achieve it. In many por-
tons of our own State, prairie gardens
unroll their thousands of acres as scroll !;
We have only to guide the pillow and open
the full hand, and haryests rustic all
around.
In Wisconsin they need little more
patience, little more toll. Their great
ness, like the growth Of the maple, is
something gradual at first, but what bean
ty will there be, BY and by, in its shade;
what strength in its column what majesty
in its proportions. Its swift running
streams will have an GRAND as they run
its slopes and hills will be clothed in the
green and golden robe of civilization; it:
graceful mounds Will he crowned with
temples Of learning, and homes of b. ppi
ness and peace will cluster in lit valleys
All in all it will be beautiful specimen
of State architecture, surrounded by Mad
ison, its capital, fashioned in the true
Corintbian of liberal handed Nature

ERCE COUNTY, WISCONSIN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER H. 1857

know me not; for one day these curses
will b. turned to blessings" Ay, and
that, when seated on his hard bench. to
take the food needful to prolong his life
F., until the object should be accomplished
for which he had given up ali that could
tend to its enjoyment he prayed for a
blessing on his coarse faro; and l know,
too, that after each more biting proof Of
scorn from those around him, he asked
from the same Almighty source, strength
to "endure to the end"
A very old man was Jacques Guyot
when the end came and he met it with joy
and hope for he had lived long enough to
finish his sef-imposing task. Stretched on
the wretched pallet he smiled and talked
to himself. "Ah jacques said he ''they
will never more call thee accursed. The
last stone has been cast at thy worthless
carcass-for worthless it may be called,
since even the worms will scarcely be a.
Bile to banquet on the scanty covering of
thy bones. But oh! what joy to think
the miser has not lived in vain! And
then too said he taking in his hand
Madelines little pitcher, swell hast thou
performed thy part. Though but thing
of clay the sight of the has reminded me-
each day and hour that having given up
her to whom thou didst once belong,
no greater sacrifice could be demanded of
me; and more than that-it ever brought
before me the memory Of the one press
ing want which inspired tho resolution
God has in his goodness given me strength
to fulfill. Twill indulge just one weak
ness and having taken my last draught
from thee, no other lips shall touch thee"
So saying he drank the water it contain
ed and gathering all his remaining
strength shivered it to atoms. One hour
after and the miser lay dead. Only life
less clay as that shivcred by his last net,
now remained Of Jacques Guyot.
Assoon as he was missed from his haunts
the propriety Of examining his house
suggested itself to the towns-people, for
there were many who would not touch
him while living who would gladly have
acted as his executors. Fancy then
the crowd around the door-the forcible
entrance-the curious ransacking each
room till they Mt last stood beside all that
remained of the object of their bitter
loathing. The authorities Of the town who
led the way took possession Of paper
which Jacques ere he lay down to die had
placed in q conspicuous position. 1t was
his will duly executed and contained these
words: 'lIaving observed from my
youth that the poor of Mars lilies arc i'll
supplied with water which can be procur-
ed for them only at great cost l have
cheerfullv labored all my life to gain them
this great blessing and | bequcath all l
posses to be spent in building an acque-
duet for their use
Jacques had told the truth. The curses
turned into blessings, and his death
made city full Of self-reproaching
mourners. Many man has won the
name of hero by one gallant deed; but
he who made conquest Of a city by the
he oism Of long life methinks deserves
the name indeed. And thus have told
YOU to whom the inhabitants of Marscilles
owe their acqueduct.
