In the battle of life there is no in.
yincibleo foe. There is 20 difficulty
that win not yield to earnest, perse-r
lvering labor By this, every obstacle
in the road to the highest possible po-
sitions every hindraneeI to the most
glorious achievements may be removed
If this is true, what boy, that has
brains enough to be ambitious, should
despair of success. Though he may
aim very high, and look longingly up
to those who occupy the summit Of
earthly excellence, while. his circum-
stances are the most unfaYorable to
even q moderate success, still he has
no right TO depair. he who looks at
the point he desires to reach, and lex-
claims with, q mournful sigh, II can
never. de, itp either1i is ? co'Yy1a9grdly,
Ibabyish fellow, or else has seen the
difficulties that lie IN his way Through
a fog, .by which they, were magnlifed.
To which Of these classes an individual
belongs must be determined BY him
self, # while, contemplating ten the po-
sition he fair, fam would AL as 2 very
pleasant and desirable oneg he shriqks
trembIingly back from, the tolls Of jhe
upward path, he may safely conclude
that he is the baby, He despairs not
because he deems the highway to sue
cess utterly Impossible but because,
poor fellow, he has not nerve enough
to brave its roughness. On the other
hand, if that sigh Of, despair comes
from q conviction that the. obstacle to
success cannot possibly be surmounted,
the individual Is g member Of the
second class. He is not a cowardly
but mistaken man. He needs only
to be reminded that every man whom
the world calls great, has conquered
all that now loom SO threateningly be-
fore him by ,indefatigable, exertion.i
BY the, same labor he too may ensure
/ z, final and glorious triumph.
While, however, there is nothing
with which man can meet in his pro-
gress toward greatness, that may not
be mastered, yet really serious Difficult,
ties meet him at every turn. The most
fearful and discouraging can be com,
PEELED to yield, but the least Of them
viii not yield until 1t IS compelled. -
There is no place, then, for ehild's
play, in this struggle with the natural
disadvantages of man condition The
labor which alone Is Of any value. is
earnest labor. That boy who would
be great must be earnest acorker. -
He has no time to throw away in idle
ness. It will never do for him to take
his ease now with the determination
to go work IN earnest when he becomes
man, No, no, he must do some
hard work before that period arrives,
or his fate is forever sealed-he Is self
doomed to failure. How much better
is it to Labor, even hard, than to make
failure Of life, and ruin all its glow
ing day dreams S.
Perhaps some one replies that he he
has tried again and again to sprm9unt
the obstacles before him, and has I'M
deed lahored earnestly, and yet he has
not succeeded, He has not labored
long enough--he must perseTere. A
spasmodic energy will accomplish but
