Do Good Work.

The path to fame BY honest merit is q
slow and tedious one. A manufacturer
who is SO careful about his products
that he has to put higher price ON
them than his Recommendations neigh
Dor can sell for, may be repaid at first
BY small sales and smaller profits. Et
takes long time to build up reputa-
tlon by excellence, but once acquired it
Itismuch al 1 Vitb R Fbs ID
with the manufacturer. If every stroke
he strikes is solid work, conscientiously
performed, hewill acquire reputation,
Limited as it may be, that is sure to pay
IN the end. We would not conceal or
deny the fact that some men labor I'M
der peculiar disadvantages. All men
are not born equal, either mentally or
physically. One is naturally skillful in
one direction, another is expert in many
things. One man may do his.
level best, and yet he will not
turn out as good piece Of
work as his more skillful brother who
only half tries. Let him not be dis
couraged because he is handicapped in
the race, and may not be able to reach
the top Of the ladder. There is room
for honest workmen everywhere even
respectable mediocrity pays better than
brilliancy coupled with trickery.
The native American is distinguished
by bis ingenuity and with half chance
he makes his mark everywhere. Yet he
sometimes loses the race in competition
with less-able men of other lands, be-
cause their careful training and early
drill in their profession, their long and
severe apprenticeship has more than
compensated for the want Of natural tact
and ingenuity.
Perseverance will not conquer all
things, but it goes long way toward sue
cese. While luck seems to favor the few,
most men have to carve out their own
success by hard labor, in which a full de-
termination to do every thing to tho very
best Of ones ability counts for more than
is generally supposed. Above all things,
don't waste time In regretting that
another trade was not chosen. If it is
an honest one, stick to it and it Will pay.

English Grain.

market quotations. Supplies Of home grown
wheats are small, and good samples are more
readily saleable. Other qualities are even
duller than previously. Best English hour is
scarce and comparatively dear. Barley firm.
The foreign grain trade has shown some weak
