The following extract from the 1ritin ge
of John Neal may have met the eyes OF
many of our readers before; but it is worth
repeating, and the truths it conveys are
worth remembering:
There are people who, having begun
life by setting their boat against the wind
and tide. are always Complaining of their
bad luck, aud always just ready to give
up, and for that very reason always help
less and good for nothing; yet, il they
would Persevere, hard as 1t may be to WORK
up the stream all life long. they would
have their reward at last. Good voyages
are made both ways.
A certain amount of opposition is 6

is better than uothing. No man eveI
worked his voyage anywhere ia s deaC
calm. The best wind for anything. in a
long run, is side wind. If it blows
aft, how is he to get back? 81
Let no man wax pale. therefore, be-
cause Of opposition. Opposition is whal
be wants and must have to be good fol-
anything. Hardship is the native soil o

what they propose do and secondly their chances of
success once they become satisfied of its feasibility
1t must be admitted that there are too many of our
people who are not sanguine of being able to free

satisfying that particular class that we write on this sub

that is to say those of Irish birth and their children

based on the of York State taken in 1865 from
which it appeared that there were then sevea hundred
thousand persons in that State who acknowledged to be
of Irish birth Here have in two countries that is
