SLFErING UNDER The CLoTuEs-There i,

Causes of Failure.

THOSE who fail in life are very apt to as.
suIne the tone of injured innocence, and
conclude too hastily that everybody ex-
cepting themselves has had hand in their
personal misiortunes. 4 literary man late
~ published book, in which he described
his numerous failures in business, naively
admitting, at the same time, that he was
ignorant OF the multiplication table, prob
ably because he would not Ia Ke the trouble
to learn il. But, instead of attributipp his
failures to himself. this cminen, man sat
down deliberately 10 cast all the blame upon
the money-worshpping spirit Of the age
Lamartine also did not hesitate TO profess
his profound contempt for arithmetic; but,
had it been less, probably we should not
have witnessed the unseemly spectacle Of
the admirers Of that distinguished person
age engaged in collecting subscriptions for
his support in his old age.
There is Russian proverb which saws
that Misfortune is next door to Stupidity
and it will generally be found that men
who are constantly lamenting their i'll luck,
are only reapinc the consequences oftheir
own neglect, mismanagement, improvi-
dence, or want of application. DR. John.
son, who came up 10 London with single
guinea in his pocket, and who once accu-
rstely described himself in his Signature
10 a letter addressed 10 noble lord, as
Lnuroeus, or dinnerle.s has honestly said.
All the complaints which are MADE Of the
world are unjust; never knew man Of
merit negiected; it was generally by his
own fault that he failed of success"

val, content TO ''trust TO luck' and let to-mor-
row provide for itself. To such we say, stay at
home until you learn better sense, you will
stand good chance of acquiring an education
more rapidly than agreeable. We have barely
sufficient provisions IN this country 10 subsist
those already here until the season Of advantage
ously Transporting new supply-which can
hardly be sooner than the middle of May, or about
the time that mining operations can be resumed
bv the masses, EreTy man who reaches here be-
fore that time should bring supply Of provisions
d claihIng sufficient until the first Of June, and
aso come with the expectation OF doing little or
nothing before that tune. There Is little use IN
leaving the Missouri river before the latter part
OF April or the first Of May, unless il be those
who lave friends here, or who come with view
, Of speculation, and with plenty of money.
We hope the press Of the Western States Will
assist 10 impress upon the minds of the people the
folly of an early and insane rush toward the gold
mines, and thereby prevent recurrence OF the
scenes Of last spring.
So sure as there is such rush, at such season
as was the last, we will again see backward
rush, and the old cry Of "humbug" will again
ring in or ears.
