There is Room in the Upper Story.

A Young lawyer OF our acquaintance,
wfo had been brought up on 4 farm,
and who had studied for his profession
in an out .of.the way county seat several
wears ago, surprised his friends one day
by declaring that he had decided to
leave the old, sleepy town where he had
always lived, and locate at the capital OF
the State. His friends demonstrated,
and assured him that the profession in
that city was already crowded with as
piring and able lawyers, well established
in business, and that there was no r., m
for a Young man like him in suei, ..
place. He listened patiently II the r
arguments, and then he cOOlly reptile /
that he had never yet seen either q
hotel or a profession in which their WIS
not room in the upper story. He would
90 to this capital and occupy the upper
story among lawyers-a place that was
never crowded; the lower and mediocre
ranks were always crowded everywhere.
He acted upon this resolution, ami lie
had the ability to do as he said he
would. He soon took his place in the
upper story, not only among the law
yers of that city but OF the State, and lie
has always found room enough for the
exercise OF his talents, no matter how
much competition be may have come in
contact with.
In recalling this incident to mind, il
has suggested maxim that is especially
true in all kinds OF stock-breeding: "Tht
best ol,rays pdys. The man who raises
the best trotter or race-horse, or draft
horse, or carriage-horse, or the best COW
or steer; or makes the best butter. cl
cheese, or produces the finest wool, oil
the best mutton, or the best pork; OF
who brings his produce to market in the
best condition, can always bid defiance
to competition and command his own
prices for what he has to sell.
There is room in the upper story
always and everywhere. In all the
various breeds, OF all kinds OF livestock
the man who approximates the uppsi
story in the quality Of his stock and in
his methods OF feeding and management
will always find plenty OF room, viii
