the art of it long and persevering prac-
tice. You must also think OF this before
YOU begin. In connection with your
study, there is also another thing to be
cared for, and that is-your health. If
your body is all the time sick and out
of order, your mind cannot possibly
work with sufficient viger to accomplish
any fine results. So as before
said, you should study physiology land
medicine, too, if possiblel and learn to
keep your body in good condition. Your
body is really nothing more than ma
with on earth. Like any other machine
for instance. q locomotive on the rail-
road |, it must be kept in good running
order, or the speed will be slow and per-
haps a fatal derailment will result. Prac-
tice out of doors great deal. Enough
sunshine and fresh air Eif you have nour-
ishing food, as suppose you dol will
not and cannot fail to bring good health,
After this, sleep well, and you can never
be sick, unless from some epidemic,
which no one can be sure of escaping.
Let me paraphrase an old verse, so that
you can easily remember all these points:
"JOy, temperance and repese,
Good food and warm clothes,
Bright SUP and fresh air,
Plenty OF work and none ofcsre,
Lock the door in the doctors face,
And give you beauty, health and grace"
You will see one new word in the first
line. That is temperance. Now, temper
ance does not simply refer to the use or
misuse of spirituous liquors. You must
take it to mean temperate or moderate
way of working, as we'll as living. l take
it for granted that you will never be SO
foolish as to commence drinking liquors,
for pleasure, SIS too many musical people
have done. Leaving the question of
morality out of sight, it is very stupid
thing to do, especially for young person.
Wait, at least, until you are old
or, when you may need them to save
your life. While you are young you have
life enough, and if you use them then
they could not later in life or in case of
severe sickness save you. Let them alone,
if you wantto have happy life. Tenn
perance, therefore, means that you should
do all things in moderation. Do not work
too much, for that would be just as fatal
as laziness, so far as your future success
is concerned.
To begin rightly, you see you must have
right principles, or all your labor and
study will amount to nothing. Some
other people, who do not apparently work
any harder than you do, will succeed, and
you will not; and, when it is too late, you
will sit down and wonder why
The reason, in all probability,

and carefully, and then wait
for the success which is sure to
come in proper time.
