Stick TO it and Succeed,

Perseverance is the main thing in life.
To hold on and hold out to the end is
the chief matter. If the race could be
won By squirt, thousands would wear
the blue ribbon; but they are short
winded, and pull up after the first gallop.
They begin with flying. and end in
crawling backward. When it comes
to the collar work, many take to jibing.
If the apples do not fall at the first
shake of the tree your hasty folks are
too lazy to fetch a ladder, and in too
much of hurry to wait till the fruit is
ripe enough to fall of itself. The hasty
man is as hot as fire at the onset, and as
cold us ice at the end. He is like the
Irishman's saucepan, which had many
good points about it, but it had no bot
tom. He who cannot bear the burden
and heat of the day is not worth the
salt, much less his potatoes
We ought not to be put out of heart by
difficulties; they are sent on purpose to
try the stuff we are made OF, and depend
upon it they do US a world of good
There's a sound reason why there are
bones in our meat and stones in our land
A world where everything was easy
would be nursery for babies, but not al
all fit place for men. Celery is moi
sweet till it has felt frost, and men
don't come to their perfection till dig
appointment has dropped half hun
dred weight or two on their toes
