Failure or success in Life.

HERE are useful suggestions from
member of the British Parliament, Lord
Derby, who is robust, manly man He
says .J.e.,
Take two men, if they could be
found, exactly alike in mental and bodily
aptitudes, and let one go on carelessly
and idly, indulglng his appetites and
generally leading life Of pleasure, and
let the other train himself by early hours,
by temperate habits, and by giving to
muscles and brain each their fair share of
employment, and at the end of two. or
three years they viii be as wide apart in
their capacity for exertion as If they had
been born with wholly different constitu-
tions. Without normal healthy condi,
tion there can, as a rule, be no good
work; and though that qualification can
not absolutely be secured or preserved
by any rules, little common sense and
care will go long way both in securing
and preserving it. On that point would
give YOU these hints First, That II is not

matter of discipline as of nature, and
who, by keeping well beforehand with
what he has TO do, avoids undue hurry
and nervous excitement, has a great al
vantage over one who follows different
practice Next l would warn you that
| those students who think they have no
time for bodily exercise will sooner or
later have TO find time for illness. Third,
when an opportunity of choice is given,
morning work is generally better than
night work; and lastly-a matter which

NEGRO COLONIZATION. = Romulns
III oore, colored man of considerable
influence with the men of his ruce in
Georgia, has called q convention Of
colored men of the State, to assemble
in Atlanta, for consultation as to The
best means of ooionizing the negroes
in some Western Stats. He is, says
the Atlanta Herald. quite voluble over
the glories of negro town in Texas,
ns described to him by member of
the Chattanooga Convention. This
town, hs says. has 1,600 inhabitants-
all co!ored. The streets are regularly
LAID off and paved. The houses, ut
first mostly log cabins, have assumed a
more substantial and pretensious com.
plection. Carriages und buggies roll
through tho streets, carrying danes
and maidens, not white. but happy and
rich. Bells peal from the churches. a
good government rules the town, taxes
are levied, and all is lovely. Into this
glorious metropolis no white man is
allowed to enter. It is negro town,
aud quite an exclusive one at that.
Romulus believes in the existence Of
this city with all the fervor that chill
dren believe in the existence of ".hs
honse that jack built" Aud ho thinks
that II the negro race were left to itself.
under favorable conditions, it would
build SCORES of such cities in vory
ebort time. Romulus' idea of earthly
Felicity is to have the negroes settled
snugiy In body, living under their
own laws, intact in their community
as the Quakers, the Mormons and the
Mennonites do. AS to what State
shall be selected for the ''swarming, ("
he cannot tell. Arkansas, Texas, Mis-.
sissippi and all the Territories will bo
discussed in the convention. Romu.
lus thinks the convention will be at.

State. and will do great deal OF work,

DKsTITUrIoN AT SCRANTON, Pa
Upon the authority OF Bishop O'Hars
and Mayor Lotus. of Scranton, Pa,
it is said that great destitution prevails
among the Gmilies Of miners resident
near that city. The city of Scranton
contains population of about 40, 900,
the principal portion of which depend
upon the coal and iron works of the
city for heir support. All tho i'm.
mense coal and iron mills we're idle
during the summer season, thus throw

about six months, fully three.quarters
OF the men eng"ged therein. At pre-
sent the managers of these works are
running them on only half and three
quarter time. Workingmen and their
families are now suffering for want of
food aud raiment. During the month
Of October an unusually large number
Of people were provided for, and yes
twice this great number have been
cared for during tho present month of
November. When it is taken into con-

1t is significant demand which
Governor Chamberlain makes at the
close 81 his inaugural message, that no
one will urge him to do an act incon-
aistent with the principles and pied ges
upon which the people have entrusted
him with power. It is at once a
solemn acknowledgment of obligation,
and the expression of apprehension
that he may be solicited to disregard
it. Whoever would make the attempt
is warned in advance that it will BIZ
fruitless. It is just here TINT MIR.
Chamberlain will need all the moral
forces that he can command. He has
but to display them, to stand firm in
his purpose, to attract good Influences
to his side. For every loss which he
may incur because of his refusal to
violate pledges Or betray principles,
for every disappointment he may cause
corrupt place. .hunters, he will gain
immeasurably more in the esteem of
men who have nothing to ask but JUS
tice for themselves and good govern
ment for the State.

ment OF the public debt as made by

deemed. he foroes upon the General
Assembly the development of some
plan by which the redemption may be
distributed over term of years. and
be met without disaster to it's pros
perity.
The Trial Justice system he regards
as costly, inefficient and oppressive.
If continued, however. he will give
the people Trial Justices who know
the law. and exert themselves to pro-
teot the rights aud interests OF the
people. But he rather favors the en-.
forcsInent of tho constitutional re-
quirement that Justices of the Peace
be elected by the people. He recon
mends that the General Assembly shall

Judgment iuoines to the belief that
good policy demands 1t repeal of the
law which requires deposits by insur-
anco companies of stocks or bonds Of
the State or Uni.ed States for the pro-
lection Of policy olders. Hu will uot
in granting partlons and reprieves lose

laws are framed-the repression OF

expressed. Weshall notice them NOR.

thought it we'll to give his most impor-
