yourself on line facing Malmaisoll, where
the enemy is. You will march upon their
garrison with equal step. When sufficient

We earnestly entreat every young man,
after he has chosen his vocation to stick to it,
Don't leave it because linrd blows are to be
struck or disagreeble work to be performe d .
Those who have worked their way up
to wealth and usefulness do not belong to the
shiftless and unstable class, but may be
reckoned among such as took off their coats,
rolled up their sleeves and conquered their
prejudices against labor, and manfully bore
the heat and burden of the day. Whether
upon the old farm, where our fathers toiled
diligently, striving to bring the soil to pro-
ductiveness; in the machine shop or factory
or the Thousand other business places that
invite honest toll and skill. let the motto ever
be: Perseverance and Industry. Stick to
one thing boys. and you will have success.
