inp & head Oh your slioalders and J
b4iag man Of your own. Ifyou 3
areneadless, orsomebolly else's man,
yon'li neIer succeed. Evcry man
has lis own row to hoe in liie, and j
&ile sconeritis eommepcef tie better
is viii he. II viii not do to stand
b;cl. and wfit for ''tpportunities.'
."Cpportunites' never made a man.
Better cease dreaming that YOU were
horn with "a silver 4poan IN your
mouth, and goto wolk. The world
lies before sou, and, although "ior
,lnn ia u hard 70 II to travel" sou
ought not to hesitate, but pull OF
yaur coat aud roll M Your sleeves
anl strike ont. Ifyon have obsta-
cIes il your ay,ovefcome them. Ii
YOU have IL Zoe to meet, face him
with u determination to hold stiff
npperlipifyoutlir hard. Remember
that there is no such thing us "how-
cry beds of ease.7 The winds OF ad
versity, like showers ofriu, fall npnn
the just and unjust, and a cnntented
man l. as hard to tInd as the teeth OF
!, hen. IfyOu want to be happy you
must work. Ifyon want TO prosper,
yOu must work. Ii sou want a good
name, Il home aud plenty of friends,
YOU must work. There is one thing
Icertain, the buck must bend and the
brow must sweat in hard, earnest, un.
remmitting toll ifyou sllcceettin any
undertaking. The voice Of inspira-
ton saith that "by the sweat OF thy
brow thou shalt eat thy bread alI the
days Of thy life" No matter what
your possessions are, or what your
talents may he, you must labor, aud
! you must be up and doing to bold
what yon hive and add INTO your
stnre. No man can succeed who re-
lies upon the opinionsof0tllers. Adj
vice is good thing to listen TO and
, consider, but successful action must
spring from a mans own Judgment.
"Be surrey yOaare rigIE and goahead"
Have Il moral standard worthy of ac-
!, ceptaiion and live up TO it, and like.
! wise in your business affairs have II
{ rule of action aud work by it. No
I man can succeed who works without
i Il rule and lives without Il purpose
i All nations have rules by which tu
be governed. Without ruies socie
could not exist. Everybody would
be In constant confusion and strife
= So it is with individuals who have nc
fixed rules inthe government OF tlieiI
!, affairs. Also, there must i'e fi&ed
ii purpose in Iife. You must have Il
y race set before yon, and you must
bend all The energies of your mind
:, and body to the accomplishment OF
= that purpose. Whit would be
thought Of the formation of a society
. without any object in view and with
!. out any rul,sof governments What
! more could he expected of such III
institution than complete failure ant
dissraceG So it is with iniividual'
4 who start out without a purpose il
: liIeand Without rules Of self govern
