Always Pick up a Pin.

Hank Howard has ineulcated in the
mind of his little son Jakey all the fun
damental principles of practical econo-
my, and he has just reasons to be proud
of the evidence which the lad already
gives of future life of thrift and useful
ness. The familiar story of that wealthy
merchant who dated all his prosperity
from the time when he picked up pin
from the floor, ia continually In Jakey's
thoughts, and he has himself become
such a psrsevering gatherer of cast.of
pins that from the lapel Of his coat to
Ius waist-band OF his pantaloons he lair
ly bristles like a walking pin-cushien.

HARD WORK,

"What is your secret?" asked a lady
OF Turner, the distinguished painter. He
replied: ~ have no secret, madam, but
hard work" Says DR.. Arnold: "The
difference between one man and another
is not so much in talent as in energy"
"Nothing," says Reynolds, sis denied
well-directed labor, and nothing is to be
attained without it," "Exoellenoe in
any department." says Johnson, "can
now be attained by the labor of a lile-
time, but it is not to be purchased at a
lesser prices" 'There is but one
method" said Sidney Smith, sand that
Is hard labor, and man who will not
pay that price for distinction had better
at once dedicate himself to the pursuit

French proyerD, zone goes very far"
"Nothing," says Mirabeau, sis impossi.
BILE to a man who can will. This is the
only law OF SUCCESS" "HaYe you ever
entered a cottage, or Travelled in a
coaob, ever talked with peasant in the
field, or loitered with q mechanic at the
LOOM" asked Sir Edward Bulwer Lyt-
ton, "and found that each of these men
had talent you have not, knew some
thing you did notw The most useless
creature that yawned at a club, or idled

no excuse for want Of intellect. What

other words, not the power to achieve,
but the Will to labor.

Appeal for Relief,

The Directors Of the Relief Union and
the members of the Finance Committee
appeal to the liberal and charitable citi'
zens OF our city for subscriptions to the
funds Of their treasury.
The winter season is on hand, and this
unusually hard time for the INDECENT is
aggravated by the duIlness of business
and work. The applications Of the poor
for relief are constantly increasing,
while the amount Of donations from year
to year has been constantly decreasing.
During the last winter it amounted to u
sum entirely inadequate to accomplish
the noble aims and purposes of our use.

We most respectfully though urgently
request our citizens to come to the res
cue aud send their donations, without
delay, to 8. 8. Davis, Treasurer OF our
Association, No. I'll West Third street.

that this urgent appeal will not prove a
