SUCCESS IN LTFE-ADvICE TO
THE YOUNG. )

The popular idea of success in life is
an ERRONEOUS one. It does not consist of
worldly riches of honor, but it is within
the reach of all. Success in life is simply
the result of the proper exercise of the
faculties which are given US. And sac
cess is more or less marked as these !al-
ents are great or small.
Good habits are essential to success,
for every departure from the laws of
health, or morality is precursor of fail
ure in life. Regularity in eating, and
regular sufficient hours for sleep. are
necessary to physical success. Late hours
indeed are closely allied to immortality
and vice. Healthful costumes, comfor-
table, seasonable, sensible clothes are
elements of success in life
Good breeding and amiable manners
are necessary to success. We succeed as
we please, we please as we show respect,
as we sympathize with, as we appreciate
our fellows. He that avoids giving
offence will have friend to conquer
success for him.
Keeping good company is a good
habit, because we are moulded by our
associates. From them we learn, and as
selected, so shall we be successful or un-
successful This good will of our fellows
is breeze that often watts us to success.
Courtesy and gratitude win for us this
good will gratitude is sight-draft for
large amounts of friendships. g. .m.gmyv
Exactness and punctuality in business
are one of the essentials to success.
We should attend first to our own bust
ness, and when that is attended to we
may, if we have time left, attend to our
neighbors. Then we should keep up to
the times. He who grasps the good
among the new is always captain, and
in the front rank We can hope for mo-
success unless we are thoroughly in love
with our business Labor and the love
of the same. move the car of progress
and insure success ~ Fly
We should keep thoroughly informed,
and to this end we should pay for and
read a good newspaper. Thus we may
be ready to grasp many opportunities
that otherwise pass unimproved. Wei
should always keep informed to guard
against danger. Another rich source OIL
information is conversation. Temperance
is one Of the corner stones. to success.
Temperance is the moderate indulgence
of our appetites When we indulge our
appetites judiciously pleasure results Il
when We seek only pleasure from such
indulgence, we cannot reach it, Pleasure,
sought is never found. Economy, the
avoiding of waste, is among the qualities
of the successful. Usually the rich are
rich in economy; the poor are poor In
extravaganza. Cheap and sensible
pleasures are among the features of
economy. Great is the multitude of per-
sons who are poor but would be rich if
it did not cost them so much to. earn a
dollar. &tF8 ( ~ azs ~ go
Order is another element of success.
The orderly man has time table, and he
runs to it. With tools and hours, he will |
often do the work of four men. Self |
control must guide to success; without it, |
all else is ishipwrecked. Integrity in
man is as necessary as are sound timbers
In the ship. Patience is quality that
bridges the gulf of time and carries US to
the hour of success Concentration
makes the dull really bright. The aim |
less and purposeless drift through life
and meet with no success,-their lives
go t. protest for non-payment of thel
claims which society has upon them
With concentration must be blended per
severance; the finishing blow brings
success, but long line of ancestors pre-,
cedes the finishing blow. Study gives
knowledge, and knowledge is power,
aud the harvest is, success. We cannot |
succeed alone, and the habit of doing
good to others is an element Of
success now and hereafter. y DO we
desire success, here is the way, the good
old way, our fathers trod the path Of
good habits. There is. do better, no
shorter way, and in this land and age
the opportunities for success are open to
