Success in Life.

Success in life is only attained by
persistent industry and untiring de-
votion to whatever business we engage
in. Thurlow Weed, one of our strong
est self-made men of the day, says that
when he was young man, working at
ID printing-press in New York City, it
was his custom, as we'll as that of Mr..
James Harper, who worked in the same
office with him, to do, in summer, fair
half days work before the other men
and boys got their breakfast. They
would meet by appointment, in the
gray of the morning, and go down to
John Street. They got the key of the OF.
ice by tapping on the window, and
their employer would take it out from
under his pillow and hand it to one of
them through an opening in the blind.
"A pressman," says Mr.. Weed, "who
could do twenty or even ton per cent.
more work than usual, was always sure
of situation. James Harper, Tom Ken
nedy-long since dead-and l made the
largest bills in the vicinity. We often
earned as much as fourteen dollars per
week, liberal wages, when you remem-
Der that good board could be obtained
for ten dollars per month" When we
look at such an example as this, we are
amazed when we contrast it with those
of so many of the young men of to-day,
who are 50 dazed by their passions and
the devil, that they do not see where
in their own best good consists. They
seem out of place in this busy world. In
stead of being up in the morning to
work, they are wasting their time in
sleep long after the sun is up, lengthen-
ing out the night at the wrong end to
make up for the time stolen at the other
end in dissipation of various Sorts
Gambling and billiards, champagne and
the turf, strong drink and fast women,
are as surely destructive to business re-
putation as arsenic or prussic acid is to
physical life. A few may indulge in
them, and not die; bui of what use in
the world are such emasculated crea-
lures, except to enjoy themselves after
a fashion, and die unmissed, because
they leave no place of usefulness vacant
Youth and young manhood is the time
for work, to climb up the hill. And
there is happiness in work, if one takes
to it heartily and cheerfully. There is
a manly pleasure in attacking and over
coming difficulties, and a grand conscious
ness of duty done ennobles the conqueror.
Ii young men would achieve success,
they must fight for it with indomitable
pluck and persistency. By industry. by
self-control, by self-denial, by economy,
by undertaking integrity, character is
made; and character is the best part OF
capital.
