DON'T LEAN UPON OTHERs.-Half at
least of the disappointed men one meets
are victims of ill-grounded hopes and ex-
pectations, persons who have tried to lean
upon others, instead of relying upon
themselves. This leaning is poor business.
1t seldom pays. Energetic men and they
are the classes generally looked to for aid,
do not like to be leaned upon. 1t You are
travelling in a railroad car, and great
hulking fellow lays his head against your
shoulder and goes to sleep, you indignant
ly shake him off 1t is the same in bust
ness. The man who does not at least at
tempt to hoe his own row, need not ex-
pect any one to hoe it for him. 1t is
nonsense for any man to pretend to the
dignity of being unfortunate, who has
depended upon others when be might
have eloven a way TO fortune for himself

enter room filled with those whose heads

to remain herself, and thus be unlike ev-

black, will produce the greatest effect
when surrounded by the most gorgeous
costumes. These serve, as it were, as
frames for the former, and women are
