Elements of SUCCESS

Success Is the true criterion of ability
Though eflen won WITHOUT, merit and lost
without dishonor, men persist in thinking
they are indissolubly connected And men
are right. Though some fortunate acci-
dent may raise dronc to enlinencc. or
snin for dizziness r-trilliaat- posi- .ion- yet
great acLievqaGts are tic, result eely Of
work and exalted merit. ac;s g,y./
Some men gather rags and dirt from the
streets; others build cities, found empires
and revoiutionize the world. One earns
his bread by the hardest ieil, and feels
happy if ght fndsihiin shcltercf from the
cold and tirc storing another plans adyen-
lures WHICH yield him millions, or directs
the course Of sQuadrons on seas thousands
of miles away. Both are men-nothing
more, nothing less. Each have homes,
nerves and muscles; and perhaps ia phys
icallrespccts, the rag piclseriis the superior
of the merchant. Whence, then, this diff
ference? II is from mind, One e. q sort
of thinking animal-'hc ether has called
into power bis reasoning faculties, that
sublime intelligence which controls cyents,
sees the end from the beginning, aud
moulds the future TO Its will- 81 ,.,;r
To achieve success in any pursuit, there
must be mind to plan and energy to exc
cute. Without these a man isllike ship
without a ru5der, tossed about by chance
and uncertainty. With these, success is as
sure rs destiny, But to achieve great re-
suits a man must not waste his energies on

sues. J. He must lave belancss torconceive,
vigsr and intelligeneeto execute. Above
all. he must be actuated by high motives
and aim at objects which, othefs haye not
the courage or virtue to adventure. ~
The man whe docs this, has netting TO
dread. II Unforeseen events may, frustsate
his plans unloolxedfor disaster may bear
him down; and envy or malignity may con-
spire TO crush him; yetihe will rise by, the
irresistible energy of his own viii, above

No men arc more Justly entitled TO fair
prices than truly competent and lquallfled
teachers And this, not barely because of
the value they give in return, but because
of the great outlay oftme and money nee
cssary to prepare for their profession.-
Some teachers have spent dozen years
in their profession, and have laid ont many
thousand dollars, a capital of time and
money sufficient to have made them rich
in merchandise ofa any mechanical art.
Few persons can estimate the value of
things where the results are produced with
case aud in moment. They must see the
labor performed. Most men can readily
believe that railroad, canal or ship is
worth all the money asked for it, but they
cannot understand why painting or a
statue should be held at so many thousand
dollars. Nor can they but be amazed that
Paganini should expect twenty guineas for
a single tune on the violin. ,G ..-s
A plain, but frank hearted and sensible
farmer once called at the Office of a cele-
brated chiefjustice in the South, and asked
him u very important question that could
be answered in an instant-yes, or no.

The farmer was well satisfied. The de-
cision was worth many thousand dollars.
The client, now about toretire, asked the
justice the charge for the information he
had received.
"Tcn dollars, replied he.
''Ten dollars ejaculated the astonished
farmer, ''ten dollars for saying 'No?'
"Do you SEE. those rows of books, my
friend?" rejoined the chief justice; 81 have

their contents to answer No.

be we'll pleased with his reception.
lie arrived at this place from the West
on the 50 p. NJ. train, and was immediate
ly met by some of our citizens, and escort
ed TO the hospiiable home Of S,las Moore,
ESQ.,, where he was made the honored re-
cipent of the mansions hospitalities.
Major Cumback has doubtless addressed
larger audiences, but we venture to say
none more enthusiastic or apprcciative.
An excursion train from Bedford contri
buted large crowd of enthused "Rads," q
band, and any amount of complete sympa-
thy with the speaker. The spacious chap
ell room of the seminary building was COM
pletely filed at an early hour, and Major
Cumbacl, in speech of two hours, dura-
tion, abourding in happy hits, unanswera-
BILE facts and sparkling humor, succeeded
in arousing storm of overnowing excite
ment and applause, such as we have never
before witnessed even among the denizens
of that most excitable efall places-Mitch-
ell.
1t is useless to attempt any analyzation
of the address. VIII Cumbacks felicity of
expression and power of placing himself in
electric rapport" with an audience, is well
and widely known. The impression he
made on the people who saw him for the
first time was one to be proud of. Few of
our public men base their professions on
the high grounds of stern morality and
justice which he assumes and backs up by
his blameless and actively christian life
The entire devotion in his behalf which he
has aroused here has elements of moral
admiration in its composition aside from
mere political feeling, which we have new
er before known n speaker to excite. If
Cumback does not take the place of that
political shame a-IIendricks- in
the Senate Of the United States, he will not
receive the just reward his talents and ser
vices demand. 'isi' MORA

Who is there that lives past twenty, that
does not live too loose? First goes our
youth down into that deep, deep sea which
gives back none Of all the treasures that it
swallows up. Youth goes down, and in
'noccncc with il, and peace is then drown
ed, too. So, many happy, Joyous feelings
that belonged alone TO youth, like the
strong swimmer from some shipwreckcd
bark, struggle awhile upon the surface, but
are cngulred at last Strength, vigor, pow
ers of enjoymenis disappear one by one;
Hope, buoyant hope, snatching at straws to
keep herself afIoat, sinks also, in the end;
then life itself goes down, and the broad
sea of events that has just swallowed an
other noble ship, flows as calmly as over,
ard myraids cross and re,cross on the same
voyage, the spot. where others perished
scarce day before. So life is a continued
loss from the cradle to the grave, and these
losses taken away one by enc, should adj
monish ils that nothing Is stable here, bat
heaven is TO be gained only by the loss OF
earthly things that please for a moment
and then vanish forever. m9tI ~
