lie VINO would WlD the gOlUSn
prize of success in life, must rely
upon his own clear intellect and
strong arms, and not upon inherited
money, prestige or friends. Every
thing in this severely practical age
is gagged, more or less, by the
power of individuality: one must
struggle for his own advancement
Families rise and fall, fortunes are
amassed and re distributed with
amazing rapiditv in this new coun-
try of ours. We have often been
pointed to persons who have
achieved success, and apparently
without an effort, and we have been
told that these were the favored
children of good luck"
Believe it not If the facts were
known, it would be abundantly evi
dent that they, too, were subjected
to great and terrible struggles in
order to gain their little SUBMITS.
True, fortune may favor the game
ster and Spectator; but this only
carries out our argument that firm
reliance upon our individual power
to meet the emergencies of our stu
alton in lie is essential to success.
The gamester trusted his nerve and
knowledge gained by previous ex
perience, and won; the speculator,
by a careful examination of the ten
denotes of the times of the market,
depended upon his own judgment,
made his investments, and realized.
But in neither case can permanent
success be predicted of the winnings
of the gambler or the gains Of the
spectator.
1t is true saying, that "God
helps those who help themselves -
There is nothing to be gained by
appealing to family or even per
sonal prestige. in the business life.
The hero of a half a hundred bat
ties, who, but few short years
ago, came "marching home" at the
head of his war SCARED veterans,
and who was hailed by the loud
acclaims of thousands, is to-day a
mere wreck. wanderer without
home or place. And why? The
reason is plain. He had gained a
personal prestage in warfare. In a
different business, he had depended
on that prestige and not himself;
that is, upon individual effort The
eclat of his name brought no Gus
tom to his shop, and so he failed
and went down, until now the
name once renowned has ceased to
be even whispered; he is forgotten,
life has bees a failure
Then look at the result of a de
pendence upon wealthy and infiu-
entail family connections. There is
scarcely any one who can not name
some one who commenced life with
a large dependence upon the name
and fame of ancestors, and no de-
pendence put upon their own intel
lects and muscles, and they have
observed that the end of all such
was a disastrous failure. Self-de-
pendence is, therefore, a real duty,
and all who would gain success
must, IN a large measure, cultivate
the art of self-assertion. 1t is in
perfect consonance with the spirit
of the age for one to blow his own
trumpet; and unless one in the
largest degree relies upon his own
educated capacities, high achiev-
ment is imDossible.-G uide to SIC

For Southerners the .itnportan-
question is whether President Gar
field will continue the moderate polr
icy of the Hayes administration O.
adopt the Stalwart ideas of Conk-
ling and Blaine? Fortunately, how
ever, with both branches of Con
gress so close he will have comparat
lively little power for harm, even
should the Democracy fail to retail \
control of the National Legislature.
The chances seem to be that the
Garfield Southern policy will be
negative rather than positive, aud
that the South will consequently be
permitted to continue straight on in
the path ei industrial development.

What Farmers should Re.

AS general rule farmers have but
little spare time to read. 1t would
be greatly to their advantage to
read more than they do. They
should take time 20 read something
on all branches of farming in which
they are engaged. OF course no
farmer can blindly follow the d.
rectious laid down in books and
papers, bnt he can Law hold of those
general principles of agriculture
which good books and good agricul-
tural papers supply; aud so modify
them as to meet the particular ext
gencies of his own case. There is
a great deal of wisdom embodied in
books on farming and they should
be used as all good Things are used
with discretion. But the farmer who
does not read at all, who takes no ag-
ricultural papers, who knows moth
ing of the outside world, who feels
no interest in what others are doinr.
cannot be called a successful farmer.
He may, perchance, have cultivated
MS fields SO that they yield large
crops; but he has not cultivated him.
self, has not made the most of his
manhood.-Spirit of Kansas.

made anything success without
devoting to it true toll, thought and
