creatures of Gods power.
Failures result from want of goodness. All
prosperity should ripen the soul. He who be-
comes rich, or acquires honor power, and does
not thereby become better man, makes mis-
cradle failure.
The first and prime element of success is health.
Health should be taught to be the duty of every
one. ALI the ends of life require health, and
without it we cannot accomplish the objects to
which it is our duty to aim. If one is sick in
body, he is almost always sick in soul. The
mind suffers with the body Talk of martyrs
Every dyspeptic carries more faggots in his stom-
ach than ever heaped around the stake at
Smithheld. Many suppose the soul in the body
is like the birds nest in the tree; its bark may
dry up and its leaves fall to the EARTH and yet the
nest will remain just as safe and well as before.
But not so. The soul is to the body as the
flower is to the tree Let disease seize upon the
body of the tree, and soon the sap and nourish-
ment will cease to flow upward, and the flower
will fade and fall to the earth, or the half-grown
fruit may hang to its parent branch, as a sad wit
ness of the destroyers power.
There are many conditions in which you can
not reach the soul. 1t is first necessary to rouse
the physical man. When strength begins to re.
turn, his spirits revive. 1t is necessary also to
lift people out of the dirt and cleanse their bod
les, before you can effect any entrance to their
soul, There is also large immortality of intel
lect occasioned by arrangement in the human
system Many hereEies are born in the stomach.
AT morn we carry the world on our shoulders
at noon we lay it down and at night we want it
to carry US.
The monk andsrecluse retire from the world,
not because they can in retirement worship with
mO or hot farr hxy
mingling with the world: but because they have
failed in life, and become enemies to society.
We are apt to set our mark too low. We are
apt to be content in the basement, while others
push upward to the second, third, or fourth story.
Education is necessary to insure success but it
matters not hoU we have it, if SO be we can use
all to the greatest advantage. The principal
thing is to be able to employ all the education.
There are some things l can do with my little
finger, others that can sdo with the next, and
still more with the index finger and thumb but
l can do vastly more with the whole hand. In
whatever we engage we should take hold with
the full, firm hand.
God has constituted us, as it were, with thirty
pair OF wings, by the using of which we may en-
gage the mind upon one subject for time, then
fold that and spread another pair on which to be
borne up for a season; then fold them and spread
another pair, and thus continue constantly to en-
ploy the mind. Many man employs but one fac
ulty. seeks but one object, and when he fails in
mark is frequently made that ga man is ruined /"
| What, asks his friend, is the matteri Has he
| lost his wife No. Has his child died No.
| Has he lost his reason o, no; but he is a ru-
lned man he has lost all his property The man
| ruined! BY no means. The merchant may be
| ruined but let the man walk forth in his
! strength, with an honest heart, and determined
/ purpose, and he shall become a better man than
before. He has iron nerve, and an education that
will enable him again to start well and succeed.
/ He ic cd nnhl kpn I
| feeds on pride, and when the means of gratifying
/ it are gone, he is of all men most miserable He
| has made failure. Then there is the man of
taste, always looking at everything through one
medium, and that disordered one. The voice
must utter just such tone or the speaker will be
regarded as man of no taste. For him every
literary production is rich or poor Just in proper
tion to the number Of beautiful adiectives and adj
verbs which it contains. II these are not select,
ed and arranged just TO his taste, the whole pro-
ducton fails to afford him any happiness, and for
| him it is failure. He may be set down as the
tasteful man. Could he stand at Sinai's mount,
| and listen to the sound of the trumpet and the
voice speaking from the burning cloud, his first
and only thought would be to watch for the adj
| ieetives and adverbs, and he would be most like
~ to regard the whole with disgust if these were
not selected and arranged just according to hit
| taste.
Another lives in the circle of love. Within
that unbroken circle rest all his affections, all his

hopes are blasted, and he makes failure and be-
comes bankrupt.
1t is the duty Of every one TO teach their chill
dren to grow happyin eYerysphere OF life; to draw
happiness from every object in nature The
world was made for mans and why should he not
draw happiness from all its store-housesi va7i
The whole world may be divided into two
aliases, and these named sGccahtine and acid OF
these we all partake. Seventy five per cent be-
comes acid to US, simply because we will not have
it otherwise. Much that is acid to one is sacch-
arine to another who has been educated Alright
We should learn to love and be loved People
often complain that no one seems TO have any
love for them. In such cases il will always be
found that he who complains most of others man.
meats the least love for others. We cannot win
| the love OF others without cherishing kindred
| feeling in our own bosom for others.
1t is the duty Of every one to be successful
even 10 Affections. Simply because we are disap-
| pointed is no reason why we need fall Our plans
may not have been well laid it may be better
that we should seek the accomplishment Of our
interests N some other way, or by some other
means. II disappointed in one course, let us
not be discouraged, but carefully scan our plans
and see wherein we were not conect.-The man
| who makes money is not the successful man but
he who uses il for the good Of society, he is the
| successful one. He carries cheerful face and
| makes many heart happy.
The last and most sure element Of success is
| the religious element. Man is the creator Of
God He was constituted with religious ele.
ments predominant In his nature, aud no one
who does not cultivate and cherish this element

acquisition of wealth. On the contrary, would
