THE RESULT OF IT. Twenty
clerks in store, twenty hands in a
printing office, twenty apprentices

in village-all want to get along
in the world and expect to do SO.
One of the clerks will become q
partner, and make fortune; one of
the compositors will own a news.
paper, and become an influential
citizen; one of the apprentices will
become a master builder; one of
the young villagers will get a hand
some farm, and live like a patriarch
but which is the lucky individu-
al! Lucky? There is no luck
about it. The thing is almost as
certain as the rule of three. The
young fellow who will distance his
competitors is he who masters his
business, who preserves his integri-
ty, who lives clearly and purely,
who devotes his leisure to the &C
QUESTION of knowledge, who gains
friends by deserving them, and who
saves his spare money. There are
some ways to fortune shorter than
this old dusty highway; but the
staunch men of the community. the
men who achieve something really
worth having, good fortune, good
name and serene old age, all go in
this hard, dirty road.
