some Things as We See Them

There are many positions 10 life wh ere
close observer Of human nature lsafns
much Of he composition Of bic kllon
beings-of theig temperament, thsir
strength or weakness, and their 6fmne sss
or vsciIlatipg tendencies. When on .
il seen with 90 object in view aud per-
s-veres 70 the accomplishments OF that
object, apparently without the conscious.
ness OF bis energy, success wilk surely
come within bic grasp. Il 10 oltsn the
| case that men. are seen. 70 wait tor BALI
an hour 10 some. public place in anticipa-
,iou of having bis wants supplied. When
he suddenly springs oRat rapid rate,
as though some new idea bad struck
him. and the bali hour 10 gone. % weN
as the purpose for which be spent il,
when By using Q little more tenacisy
aud remaining 6rm Ave minutes longer.
their 6rst intentions would have been
accomplished. Young men when drss
entering upon the active pursuits Of lie.
also show to the world 10 comparative

natures II they apply themselves reg.
uIarly, willing TO live sad LET lisss

Many q young man gives up in dsspais

without means must expect. Tor . time
to meet with hardships and rebuffs, but
let there be Gxedness of purpose and
she golden harvest will be gathered. i
10 too often the case also. that young men
appear to be doubtful about the worlds
having knowledge of their existence ig
they do not assume sportivs cir. gil
the atmosphere With the fumes Of their
cigaretts, and waste more time 10 one
week than ought to De lost 10 three
months. Tbisis very grave mistake.
The yoppg mao who applies himself
studiopsly 10 bis VOCATION. will soon
make himself known to the world 10 9
manner that will couple bis name With
the houored ones Of society aud the pow
or of bis influence will be fali. g men
| who prove Q success must be felt. Tia
res,less and unstable are viewed in .
different light BY the publicis eye aud
share 40 opposite fate when the rewards
are beiog allotted to each, for while ous

another false notion young men b.
Many Of them appear to think the'

perience OF many. "Maks be

none the less true. A young ma while

or thsa spend bis money as be earns IL,
for what appear to him at the ti,ae. as
pleasures. Let our young men take a.
au example, il they determine 10 follow
in the footsteps of any one. . man Who
has been upright in his daily walks and
by industry aud perseverance has made
hiHself success in life. We say, il %
