ALWAYS RooM Up-SrARs.-A young
man, who was thinking of studying law,
said 10 Daniel Webster: "Mr. Webster, |
understand the profession of law is quite
full, and that there are more lawyers than
ore needed. Do you think there is any
chance for me?" "There is always room
up stairs" was the reply, and as true as it
was ingenious Only few persons reach
the high places, and these are always in
good demand. "There is room enough up
stairs" First-class farmers and mechanics,
as well as physicians, lawyers, etc, always
lind plenty of room, plenty of work, and
good pay. Whatever calling you choose
and it matters little, if it be an honest Que,
resolve to go into an upper story; but do
not try to jump there by a single leap, OF
you may fall disabled Rather begin at
the bottom of the ladder, ard patiently
step upon each round.
