Wearing Apparel.

An American lady visiting friends in
Canada started for home the other day,
and, crossing the st. Lawrence River at
Cape Vincent, the Customs officer de-
sired to look into her trunk. She offer
ed no objection to the proceeding, and,
seeing her so willing, the officer asked
her if she had any thing in the trunk
besides wearing apparel. A prompt
negative came from the fair traveller.
Her answer was scarcely uttered, how
ever, before the officer had the trunk
opened, and there, lying at the very top
of her dress and lingerie were a dozen
bottles of the finest Hennessey brandy.
"Do you call these wearing apparei?"
queried the officer, his eyes meanwhile
resting longingly on the bottles. " Yes"
replied the lady, they are my has
bands night-caps."

Why Young Men Fail.

One reason why young men fail is
because they undertake much they do
not know enough about to secure sue
cess. Another is because they will not
apply the necessary study and labor in
perfecting practical plans and in care
fully carrying them out in detail. To
put the itea in plain English so as to be
perfectly understood, we believe lazi-
ness to be at the bottom of more failures
among young men than any other one
cause. We have frequently heard
young men whining and grumbling
about lack of appreciation, inability to
find congenial employment, and sigh
ing for capital with which to do BUSH
ness upon. That sort of bosh may al
ways be set down to pure, unadulterated
laziness. American genius is the abil-
ity to work and the courage to dig up,
and the youth who creates permanent
success as a farmer, mechanic, mer-
chant or other professional man goes
to work at whatever his hands
can find to do and does
it so well that every body wants
him to do that or something better.
The young gentlemen who stand round
nursing their incipient mustaches ex-
pecting the respect and good will of
their fellow-men and riches to hunt
them up, will be sadly disappointed
The multitude of names and high
sounding phrases given to common
every day laziness causes us almost to
forget the presence of the old coward
If there is any thing more useless or n
diculous on the face of the earth than
a robust, lazy young man, waiting for
the busy world to stop its work and
help him to a competence, we have
never seen it. The fact is, people place
a very fair valuation upon each other,
or rather the aggregate judgment of
the world is not far from right; in most
cases men whether old or young are as
often over-rated on the general market
as they are moderated, and while the
young man may feel the wonderful
power and genius he imagines he
possesses, the cold-blooded, business
world takes him for what he is practi-
cally worth; it rates him for what he
can and does do, and not for his dreams
or his aspirations. 1t is good to have
aspirations, but it along ways better to
have the industry and sense to go to
work and make place in the world
Every young man may safely set down
in his little diary and carry over from
year to year that every success worth
having must be earned, and that the
best plan to pursue, to secure a less
than mediocre place, is to wait for the
success to come.
Let every young man take for his
statement to his fellows, the robust fact
that the world treats him better than he
merits and the philosophy will help to
clearer vision. We repeat, that the
greatest reason why young men fail is
that they are too lazy to dig for success.
-Kansds Farmer.
