Why They Often Fail.

Young men often fail to get on in this
world because they neglect small opportu,
mites. A young man VINO gets subordinate
situation sometimes thinks it is not neces.
sary for him to give it much attention. lie
win wait till he gets place of responsible
ity, and then he will show people what he
can do. This is very great mistake
Whatever his situation may be, he should
master it in all its details, and perform all
its duties faithfully. The habit of doing
his work thoroughly and conscientiously Is
what is most likely to enable young man
10 make his way. With the habit, a per
son of only ordinary abilities would outstrip
one of greater talents who is in the habit OF
sighting subordinate matters. But, after
all, the mere adoption by a young man OF
this great essential rule of success shows
him to be possessed Of superior abilities.

pounds each for whole herd is sometimes
reported. With such record, who would
expect TO find that man railing at efforts to
spread profitable knowledge among our
farms Who would not feel it as the lower
ing of noble standard to see such man
endeavoring to excite prejudice against a
fellow-laborer by appeals to low instincts
and narrow ideas Yet that is the position
into which Brother Tinkham of the Free
man seems willing to put himself.

Oyer.Pr0ductiOn.

During the antislavery agitation 1t was
asserted that, were the negroes made free,
the South would consume far more of north
ern products than before, because free men
want and will labor for the means TO buy
far more manufactured goods than were
purchased for them as slaves. Experience
since emancipation has in some degree justi-
fed this theory, though affairs in the South
have not yet settled down to the full normal
condition of thoroughly free community.
But the example of the South was not
needed. All experience shows that in those
countries where there is the greatest freedom
and most equal distribution of wealth there
is the most abundant currency and ex-
change of all the products of labor.
We hear at this time great deal about
over-production, and we even hear it urged
upon the farmers not to seek to raise the
average yield of their fields, hocks and herds,
lest there should be still greater I" over.
production and prices fall still lower
1t is strange that people should so over
look the logical conclusion of this kind of
reasoning. The products of the labor of
country constitute its wealth. The argu-
ment alluded to above means, If it means
anything, that we should cease to produce
wealth, in order to prevent ourselves from
becoming poor.
Let the people understand that the stag
nation of business which has resulted in
low prices is not owing in anywise to over.
production, but to the wild course of specu.
lation and extravaganza that has made a
few men rich beyond measure, and left vast
multtudes with almost as little ability to
purchase the products of the factory and
the farm as had the slaves of the South.
And now we are looking, as almost our
only hope, for the return of prosperity to
the immense crops of the present year, and
the money they will bring. Strange that
over-production should be at the same time
the cause and the cure of our hard times !
Every enterprise and every industry in
this country, except agriculture, has been
seeking TO build itself up, and ensure its
prosperity, by special legislation oil some
sort, in the form of protection, patent rights,
monopolies, land grants and subsidies. All
these industries are fiat, and their opera
tives in sulks or open rebellion, while the
products of the labor employed in the only
unprotected, unpatented, unmonopolized and
unsubsidized industry we possess, agricul-
ture, is looked to as the only hope for the
revival Of prosperity. Is there no lesson in
this for the American people to con in these
times of trial ? Is il not plain that we
should retrace our steps, enfranchise trade.
abolish monopolies, repeal all grants of spe-
cial privileges, forego subsidies, equalze
our laws, and "proclaim freedom through
out the land to the industry, as well as to
the person, of every citizen

Great men In this world are sure to be;
But Tom, he's little above fool

And he sets his mug OF cider down,

Than both Of his brothers do In three.

Nor hoe potatoes, sure as you're born
Nor mend rood Of broken fence;

While Tom, Of course, was left behind,
For his mother said he had no mind.

And when the enemy's flag went down,

But he went to work on the farm again,

This was Gerald's revenge, and very
thorough revenge he would have thought it
too, could he have seen poor Ned go down
on his knees at the table, and sob as il his
heart would break.
Ned did not sleep much that night, but
early the next morning he set off to go to
Gerald Manning.
At the meeting of the boys some tears
were shed on both sides, and this without
either of them being at all nnmanly. That
the peace and understanding between them
were perfect, we can hardly doubt; nor caa
we doubt either for one moment that Gerald
felt he had in the best sense of the words,
given back to Ned " as good as he gave"
BE not overcome with evil, but overcome
evil with good"
