THE CONDITIONS lor SUCCESS.

~ et .
1t matters not what business you may
follow, the great fundamental conditions Of
success are the same. By observing the
same general principles, niau may obtain
an eminent aud controlling position at the
bar or in the pulpit, in the workshop or on
the farm. If YOU take. earnestly hold of
life, as capacitated and destined to q high
and exalted purpose and end; If you
watch closely the minds bent aud the mat
ur4l aptitude for employment, adopt early
some pursuit and follow steadily through
DAYS of darkness and encouragement no
well as when everything OF an external ma
ture looks Inviting and prosperous, you
will inevitably win success. The wise
choice and the persistant pursuit are ai-
most sure to bring, if not wealth, then that
which is better, an unfailing competence.
When merchant has succeeded in build
ing up splendid trade after years of la
borious devotion to his calling, the multi
tude are attracted by the outside show -
the. look upon his large and choice assort-
ment of domestic and foreign fabrics -
they see the tIlrongs of customers: :Epouripg
in aud out; they envy the merchants eIc-
giant tnrn-oats, his we'll furnished mansion.
his stocks in.the bank and that general
air OF confidence which SUCCESS gives.-
They declare, perhaps, that if they had
only gone into trade on that spot, their for.
tunes would have been secure. But SUD-
pose they had In all human probability
they would long ago have been bankrup,S
whereas they have just managed to keep
their heads above water, and may be thank.
fol tiat they are ouI of the POOR house.
The fact Is. they lacked the verv essentials
of business success. They exhibited nei-
ther earnestness, patience or perseverance,
indispensable elements, all, of that life
which wins i'll what, Yer direction its en-.
ergies are turned. They were content to
wish and dream, while others were striking
telling blows for themselves in life's great
laboratory. There was time when the
weil-to-do merchant crawled, when. by
industry and fugality, he laid the founda
lions of his abundant estate. But the en-.
,vIous man ho imagines that he might
have done the same thing. jumps this day
of small things, and looks only on success
ach eyed The steps leading to it were
tolsome and often disheartening in the
extreme.

The HONEY MooN-Why is the first
month after marriage called the 'honey
moou?' Doubtless on account of the
sweet lucauy which controls the heads
of the parties during that brief and de.
lightful period. What a pity that they
should ever get quite rational again9 That
sentimentality should give place to senti
ment, sentiment to sense, love yield to
lngic, and fiction to fact, till the happy
pair are reduced from the Eden of romance
TO the Sahara of reality-from Heaven to
earth land perhaps a Peg lower ]! :
Strange it may seem, there have been
couples who have quarreled in the first
month of matrimony, and have got back to
their astonished parents before the go5d

wife proceeded in silence to take out the
clothes, when suddenly her eyes fell upon
a small dress. and, quite overcome, she
broke ont in convulsive weeping. The
husband, hitherto, an Indifferent observer,

cause. 1t was the dress of their only
