WHY so FEW SUCCEED.

I.;fs 10 a continued battle, il which defeat
"a suffered more often than victory is Won
Along its finty path the footprints Of o'sas-
ter are every where seen, and by the wayside
are tbickly strewed the graves OF the lailen'
Wby is it that 30 few succeed? Why Is the
hopo with which youth set out SO often desc
lated, and the goal Of ambition so rarely
reachedf The strife is too often commenced
without preparation for the struggle The
Young, impulsise, and ardent think they have
but to reach forth :heir hand to pluck the sruit,
that, like the apples of the llesperidcs, Is opiy
to be gained after the highest endurance ana
the most patient perseverance,. Seldom does
genius give the tongue offame .hatsecures DIS

we are now progressing, the time Is not lar
distant when such a thing as boys will be en-
tirely unknown. Now the lads OF ten wear
the manners of maturity, aud the girls 0!

cal development. To the want OF physical
culture there is also to be added a neglect oi

THE MADDEST MAN IN TOWN.

We met man yesterday who was on the
top round of the ladder of anger--in tac'
about the msddest man we have seen for six
weeks. He is married man, and like most
married men has relatives ION his Wie's side, y
residing 10 the couutry. The relatives atore-
said have visited our hero several times In
the city, on which occasions he has taken
very particular pains to show them around
take them to the theatres, museum, AID ex-
hibit to their rustic wondering vision, the en-
tire elephant 10 all his magnificent propo.
tions-have their daguerotypes taken DC, Dc.
For several years there has been standing
invitation 90 the part of our friends relatives
to "bring bis family up" and stay a month
or such matter In the rural Districts. Well,
some time ago be consented, and accordingly
sent his wife and little ones to the sociable
bosoms of their kin, where they stayed three
" sks. Yesterday, a bill was presented to
our bero-a bill amounting to just S5I 80 for
his family's board 10 the country during
those three weeks.-We shall not attempt to
describe the boiling, Tuning, raging aud
chafng, storming anger Of the Indignant
husband and father. He was moody, frctiul
savage and infurate by turn. lie was milf,
ed ineensed, inHamed, nettled, provoked, rei-
fled, irritated, resentful. Hie gall, ire, chcier,
nassion, spleen. burst like volcano from hie
lips. Petulance, scerbi!y and double distil-
led wrath and rage exploded on his Tuning
tongue; and as his exasperated language hiss
cd forth bitter invectives on the coDtempti-
BILE avarice and misery meaness of some peo
ple," bis fercepess of countepance looked like
some terrible tornado about to tear up the
world by the roots. o., be was mad--as
