Success in Life.

The great secret Of success in life
consists in bending all your efforts
to whatever you happen to engage
in. Don't let your fickleness lead you
10 slight your present occupation,
and think lightly of it,hoping some
thing better will turn up by-and-by.
The way to get along in the world
is to make every step one that Is
ahead, and each to follow its prede-
cessor. For full fifty per cent. of
the effort of the world is absolutely
wasted in indirect, diffuse, indefii-
mite labors. Yong men start on in
life without purpose or point, cast
ing thought neither on their lit
ness nor unfitness for a particular
calling; now doing this thing, then
that, and after that nothing; one
day going on, another on the right
(which is wrong) or left, the next
backward, and then not going on at
all, which is as baG as the whole
combined. The right line in life is
the one which leads straight ahead.
This almost always secures success.
If you are creeping, do it energetic
ally until you can get on your feet
to walk; but never try to do both
at once. And when once on your
feet, never get on your hands and
knees again; but strain all your ef-
forts to your new life.

Don't Give Up.

A gentleman, travelling in the
northern part of Ireland, heard the
voices of children, and paused to
listen.
Finding the sounds proceeded
from small building used as a
school house, he drew near; and as
the door was open, he entered, and
listened to the words the boys were
spelling.
One little fellow stood apart, sad
and dispirited.
"Why does that boy stand there?'
asked the gentleman.
"Oh, he is good for nothing" re-
piled the teacher. There's nothing
in him. 1 can make nothing of him.
He is the most stupid boy in school,
The gentleman was surprised at
this answer. He saw that the teacher
was SO stern and rough that the
younger and more timid boys were
nearly crushed. He said few kind
words to him; then placing his hands
upon the noble brow of the little
fellow who stood apart, he said,
"One of these days you may be 8
fine scholar. Don't give up, but try,
my boy, try"
The soul Of the boy was reused
His dormant intellect awoke. A
new purpose was formed. From
that hour he became studious and
ambitious to excel. And he did
become g fine scholar, and the
author of q well known comentary
on the Bible; great and good man,
beloved and honored. 1t was DR..
Adam Clark.
The secret of his success is worth
knowing. Don't give up, but try,
my boy try"

Pulling Weeds.

When / was 4 boy / had a Sab
bash-school teacher who was always
ready to drop a word in season. No
matter what we were talking about
at first, it seemed to be the easiest
thing in the world for her to turn
nv thoughts Christward. She would
find sermons in stones, and in al
most everything else,-not long,
tiresome sermons, but just a word
that would keep me thinking till the
next time / met her.
remember one vacation she went
away for a few weeks. When she
came back l ran to her. After a
pleasant talk, she said, just as l
started home, "Well, Charley, what
have you been doing the past weekF'
Pulling weeds for father" l
answered.
Pulling weeds? That is good
business" she said, with smile;
"but l hope those you pulled were
not all for father. You know you
have q garden OF your own that Is
apt to get full of weeds"
"My gardenf" l questioned, not
thinking at first what she meant.
"Is here" she said, touching her
side with her finger. ''For the ene-
my that sowcd them is the EVIL One.
you know. Have you pulled up the
weeds there?" 1t is hard work,
Charlie, I know,-harder than pull
ing for father; but Christ will help
you"
Day after day, as 1 kept about
my tasks, I thought sadly of the
weeds in the garden of my heart;
and asked Christ to root them out
by his gracious power. I think he
is doing its. s. Times.

a crippled beggar was striving to
pick up some old clothes that had
been thrown from window, when
crowd of rude boys gathered about
him, mimicking his awkward move
ments, and hooting at his helpless
ness and rags. Presently noble
little fellow came up, and pushing
through the crowd, helped the poor
crippled man to pick up his gifts,
and placed them in bundle. Then
slipping a piece Of silver into his
hands, he was running away, when
