BeAp There are many different ways OF
getting on in the world it does not al
ways mean making II great deal of mo-
ney, or being great man for the peo-
! pie to look up to with wonder. Leaving
off bad habit fora good one, is getting
ON in he world to be careful and say.
ing, instead of thoughtless and waste
full, is getting on to be active and in
dustrious, instead of idle and lazy, is
getting on; to work as diligently in the
masters absence as in his presence, is
getting ON IN short. when we see any
one properly attending to his luties,
persevering through such difficulties to
gain such knowledge as shall be of use
to himself and others, aud Offering q
good example to his relatives and ac-
quaintances, we may be sure that he is
getting on III the world Money is a
very useful article in its way, but it is
possible TO get on with small means, for
it is IA mistake to suppose that we must
wait for a good deal of money before
we can do anything. Perseverance is
often better than full purse. There
are more helps toward getting on than
is generally supposed; many people lag
behind or miss the way altogether, be-
cause they do not see the abundant and
simple means which surround them on
all sides, and so it happens that there
are aids which cannot be bought with
money. Those who wish to get on in
the world must have stock of patience,
of hopeful confidence, willingness to
learn, and disposition not easily cast
down by difficulties and disappoint-
ments.
