Young man, what are you living for |?
Have you an object dear to you as life,
and without the attainment of which
you feel that your life will have been a
wide. shoreless waste of shadow, peo-
pied by the specters OF dead ambitions !?
You can take your choice In the great
battle of life, whether you will bristle
mp and win n deathless. name and owe
almost everybody, or be satisfied with
scabs and mediocrity. Many OF those
who now stand at the head of the nation
as statesmen and logicians were on Q
unknown, unhonored and unsung. Now
they saw the air in the halls of Congress,
and their names are plastered on the
temple of fame. "a
You can win some laurels. too, If you
will brace up and secure them when they
are ripe. Daniel Webster and President
Garfield and DIR. Tanner and George
Eliot were all, ut one time, poor boys.
They had to start at the foot of the lad
der and toll upward. They struggled
against poverty and public opinion
bravely on till they won a name in the
annals of history, and secured to their
loved ones palatial homes, with light
ming rods and mortgages on them. So
may you, if you will make the effort
All these things are within your reach.
Live temperately on SO per month.
That's the way we got our start. Burn
the midnight oil if necessary. Get some
true, undetermined young lady of your
acquaintance to assist you. Tell her IF
your troubles and she will tell you what
