HELP YOURSELF. - Fight your own
battles. Hoe your own row. Ask no Ia
vors of any one. and you'l succeed five
thousand times better than one who is al
ways bcsetching some oue's influence or
patronage. No one will ever help you as
you eau help yourself because no one will
ever be so heartily interested in your ai-
fairs. The first step will not he such a
long one, perhaps; but, carving your own
way up the mountain, you would each one
lead to another, and stand firm in that
while you chop still another out. Men
who have made fortunes are not those who
have had five thousand dollars given them
to start with. but boys who have started
fair with n welearned dollar or two. Men
who have acquired fame have never been
thrust iuto popularity by puiis begged or
paid for, or given iu friendly spirit. They
have outstretched their own hands, and
touched the public heart. Men who win
love do their own woninr. and | never
knew man to fail so signaly as one who
induced his aiectionate grandmamma to
speak good word for him. Whether you
work for fame or for love, for money or for
anything else, work with your own hands,
and heart, and brain. Say Il will" and
some day you will conquer. Never let any
man have it 10 say, IL have dragged you
up" Too many friends sometimes hurt a
man more than none at all. AS for wo-
men, this applies TO them as well. a wn-
man who fights her own way upward. nj.
ways succeeds. Beliu by saying, I'm as
good as anybody, if not leetle better"
Don't say it aloud, but act it. You can
teach school, or start a manuiactnry. or
little shop, or paint or surihble. and live
by it as wei! as the best man, if only YOU
know your forte, AMI donot pitch upon the
very thing you have no genius for. Shut
up your troubles and your emharrassmcnts
in your own heart. Ask no man to help
you because you are woman-all the same
good men will, out of the kindness of their
hearts-and such aid, unasked for, car
harm no one; and your first success,
achieved by your own hands, will be SO
sweet that you shall hardly have words in
which to speak il. Ask help Of Heaven
and often-you will be heard but of man
as seldom as you can. | never saw the
words, She helped herself" wnman's
tombstone by way of euogy. But should
like to have it truthiully engraven upon
mine at least. | should like to deserve it.
