Four Days for Legislation before the Holiday
Adjournment-Thc Clerks Afraid Of Mr.. Fes-

Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1866-12-14
Cause Of Failure.

We very seldom look clear through u
mans career. We seldom commence at
the point where he began to let down con-
science, and trace his decline through its
various stages till the character is under
mined. Why, two-thirds Of the men that
break down are not crushed by pressure.
There is pressure that will break almost
any timber. Oak will bear so many tons,
ash so many, and hickory so many but
take piece Of timber that is eaten out by
dry rot or by worms, and put pressure up
on it, and the moment it is called upon to
bear weight of twenty-five pounds, it
snaps And in many cases where men
break down the reason why they break
down is that they are worm.eaten. There
are thousands Of men that are deceived in
bargains, who would not be if they had
the head that honesty and morality give.
There are thousands Of men that place
their trust in things which are not 10 be
relied upon and that are continually stumb.
ling, who would do well enough if they
were conscientious and upright. Some are
weak minded, some are short-sighted !;
some undertake more than they have the
capacity to do, and there are failures from
these causes; but declare to you that
among the men that fail, the greatest num-
Der are men that fail from moral delin-
quencies; from ten thousand little flaws
that take away the stamina, the robust
ness of character, and the soundness of
judgment which are indispensable to sue
cess. And it is very desirable that young
men should know these things.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1866-12-14
Gymnastics.

The subject of physical culture has but
recently received the attention it deserves.
1t has been introduced with success into
some of the first schools of the country,
aud the day is not far distant when it will
be more generally taught.
Its utility, especially to those engaged
in sedendary employments, cannot be 1aes-
toned. "A sound mind in sound body
is an old but true maxim, and in proper
tion as the body is made vigorous and
healthy, in that proportion will the mind
be in state to develop its powers and tc
receive instruction.
In view Of this, the Principal Of this
College has lately introduced, at no addi-
tional expense to the student, Lewis sys-
tenn of gymnastics.
This department must meet the appro-
val of all. For while physical education
is conducive 10 health it is also a source
Of real enjoyment
