THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.
Read and treasure up the wisdom contain
ed in the following senteaces
The bat<se Of life, in by far the greatest
number of cases, must necessarily be fought
up hill and to win it without . struggle
were, perhaps to win it without honor. If
there were no difficulties, there would be no
success; ifthere were nothing to struggle for,
there would be nothing to achieve. Difficult
ties may iotimidate the weak, but they act
only as a stimulant to ,aen Of pluck and res
dutior. All the experience Of life, indeed,
serves to prove that the impediments thrown
into the way of human advancement may,
Cor the most part, be overcome by steady
good conduct honest zeal. activity, perse-
verance, and above all, by determined res
olutlon to surmount difficulties and stand up
aaafully against misfortune. Letyousg men
who ore ready to yield to trifling obstacles.
