NEVER GIVE UP.

In most cases, the wise and good men
viii com down. but never give up. The
heroic thing to say is this: Things are bad,
but they may be worse, and with Gods
blessing [ will try to make them better"
Who does not know that by resolute adhe
renee to this principle many battles have
been won after they have been lost2 Don't
the French say that the English have con
quered on many fields because they did not
know when they had been beaten; in short,
because they would never give up?
Pluck is great quality Let us respect
it everywhere; at least whenever enlisted
on the side of right Ugly is the bull dog,
and indeed, blackguard looking; but ad-
mire one thing about tit viii never give
up. And splendid success has often come
at length to the man who fought on through
failure, hoping against hope. Mr.. Disraeli
might we'll have given up after his first
speech in the House Of Commons; many
men would never have opened their lips
there again. l declare, 1 feel something
sublime in that defiant 'The day will come
when you will be glad to hear me, when
we read it by the light Of events. OF course,
only extraordinary success could justify the
words They might have been the vapor-
ing of conceited fool.
Calico, compelled to appear to come
down, did not give up. Still, it moves.
The great Nonconformist preacher, Robert
Hall, broke down in his first attempt to
preach, but he did not give up. Mr.. Ten
nyson might have given up, had he been
disheartened by the sharp reviews of his
earliest volume George Stephenson might
also have given up when his railroad and
his locomotive were laughed out of the Par
lament committee. Mr. Thackeray might
have given up when the publishers refused
to have anything to do with Panty Fair-
The first articles of men who have become
the most successful periodical writers have
been consigned to the Balaam box. Posi-
bly this was in some measure the cause of
their success. 1t taught them to take more
pains. It was taking down. 1t showed
| them that their task was not easy; IT they
would succeed, they must do their very best.
And if they had stamina TO resolve that
though taken down, they would not give up,
the disappointment was an excellent disci-
pline. | have known students at College,
whose success in carrying off honors was I'M
ezampled, who in the first one or Two com
petitions we're ignominiously beaten. Some
would have given up. They only came
down; they went at their work with a viii,
and never were beaten more. County Par,

AMERICAN VS.. ENGLISH LONGEV-
Try.

Engish travellers in the United States
have often deplored the degeneracy ofthe
Anglo-Saxon stock on this side of the At
lantic. The body, they have said, loses in
>toutness, the features grow narrow and
pinched, and the vitality Of the whole sys-
tenn is diminished English editors and
political economists have made many ser
uon from this text, and have argued that
in two or three centuries the Anglo-Saxon
race in this country may become extinct
Eminent physicians among Us have ac-
cepted the truth of this statement, Oliver
Wendell Holmes among others, and have
attributed the change chiefly TO climatic
influences, but in part also to social habits.
1t might have been well, before investiga-
ting the cause, to settle the facts. There
can be little doubt of wide departure in
form and feature from the English type but
in the matter Of health and longevity the
advantage is on our side. So, at least, sta
tistics prove, and there is no appeal from
their authority.
The records of life insurance companies
furnish ample and satisfactory data for
comparison The experience of twenty of
the most prominent English and Scotch
companies, compared with the combiued
American experience, is as follows: Starting
with 0, 900 lives at the age of ten the Ameri-
can loss the first year is 75; the Eng. 70. At
age twenty, American loss is y; English Sc.
At age forty, American loss is IT; English
81. At age sixty, American loss is 1855;
English lS4. At age eighty, American loss
is 209; English lS6
Thus, at every period of life below eighty
years, with the single exception of the sec
ond decade, which is very fatal among us,
American vitality is superior to English.
As the mother-country has always prided
itself on tha robustness of its sons, it will
be hard to yield the palm to the socalled
degenerate Yankees. But westward the
| course of empire takes its way.
