Secrets Of Success.

An exchange says that notwithstand-
ing the constant reminder that Sin the
bright lexicon Of youth there is no such
word as fall" the fact nevertheless re-
mains that failure or want of success in
life are constantly occurring 1t contin-
ues
There are numerous reasons for
this, many Of which il is within the
power of young men to overcome. some
fail simply because they have no fixed
purpose. With no particular task
marked out for life pursuit, they are
here friday and there tomorrow, TIL us
the years fit by they realize that they
have done nothing.
Every young person should early
choose the object he or she would
achieve, and then devote every energy
to that end. Young people will do well
u hearken to the advise of those Older
than themselves in making this choice,
but when once made, energy and perse-
vcrance will surely give success. A
want Of perseverance, Is almost sure to
result in failure. When a vocation is
once selected the young man or the
young woman must stick to it. If the
task is disagrceable, it should be remem-
bcred that there is no position in life
without its unpleasant surroundings. If
one task is dropped to pursue another,
it also may be found unsatisfactory.
The young man, for instance, who
is at one thing to-day that disappoints
him and ut another tomorrow which af-
fords no greater delight-now manufac-
turing, then farming, to-day reading
law, tomorrow studying medicine
sooner or later finds himself Jack fall
trades and master OF none.
" Such persons gain no confidence in
themselves and inspire less in others,
and in the end have no reputation. 1T
may be set down rs an axiom that, hav-
ing deliberately chosen line Of life, it
is best to stick to it. To achieve sue
cess one must devote himself TO his call
ing with energy.
=" No Micawbcr has ever accomplished
any great purpose. If young men wait
for something to turn up be they ev.
er 50 patient, they are almost invaria-
bly, doomed to disappointment. There
can be no permanent success without Ia
bor, and the sooner young men realize
this fact and devote their most ardent
energies to the task they undertake the
sooner will the goal be reached.
" Young men, too, should learn tn
have confidence in themselves Parents
should teach their children to think and
act for themselves. The young lad who
has been taught to always cling to his
mothers apron strings is in poor con-
dition to support himself when he goes
out into the world. Although willing,
such young men do not know how, and
what they do must be done under con.
slant direction.
D." Young people should early learn
the responsibilities of life, aud then, if
they also possess energy, perseverance
and good habits, no apprehension need
be felt that success will not follow the
pursuit of any worthy object"

their earnings, which they wisely in

Pay the Printer.

When the cold storms howl around the
door,
And you by the light Of taper,
Sit closely by the evening fire,
Enjoying the last paper,
just think Of him whose work thus helps
To wear away the Winter,
And put this query to Yourself
Have | paid the printer?
From East and West, from North and
Soulh,
From lands beyond the water,
He weekly brings you lots of news
From every nook and quarter;
No slave on earth tolls more than he,
Through Summers heat and Winter !;
How can you for moment, then,
Neglect to pay the printer?
Your other bills you promptly pay,
Wherever you do go, sir;
The butcher for his meat is paid,
For sundries is the grocer;
The tailor and the shoemaker,
The halter and the winter,
All get their pay-then why neglect
To settle with the printer

and example such that even the sluggish and
indifferent soon become interested, and study
becomes positive pleasure.
