have started out to be success In life, and
the othef day in reading newspaper found this
! little stanza. What do you think OF it?
This fact, repeat, has more truth than creed:
/ The just and the humble can never succeed.
The key to success BE defiant and bold
And you viii have honors. position, and gold"
A Soldiers Boy.
This reminds MS of what certain American
Senator has said, who has kept his personal
honor unsullied, though spending a lifetime in
the public service: The youth who inscribes
no other motto than success upon his banner
viii be apt TO trail it in the dirt of low con-
fict"
Were ever truer words spoken than these, or
words more universal IN their range? Success,
is to succeed-literally, 20 go along. But suppose
that in order to 90 along, or . get along ia the
| world" one must 20 over broken promises,
violated obligations, friends with their necks
IN the dust, fathers and mothers moaning and
/ starving for ernmb of comfort in their sor-
rowing and deserted old age; over homes
robbed and oyerthrown; over the prostrate
! forms of little children and widows sinking
| under the blows of the usurer with the lash of

Suppose ne turn his face upon the lessons his
mother taught him. clinging, white-robed and
loving TO her knee: Thou shalt not steal; thou
1 shalt not kill: thou shalt not ccvet: thou shalt
not bear false witness against thy neighbor; /;
! thou shalt do unto Others as We would that
others should do unto youi" Suppose he de-

and the saloons, his lips polluted with lies and
his heart hardened against the appeals OF inno-
cenee and mercy And suppose that from this
oozing pool of bribery and corruption and un-
godiness and degradation he shall at last brush
the slime from his garments and scale the high
flights of worldly honori

worth all it has cost him-the sacrifice of all
that is good, and pure and true, a1d lovely z
With the scorn of men in his ears and the
curses of the betrayed in his heart, who would
envy him his ill-gotten gains? Who would

lying cry, obeyed at any cost. is but the wall of
doom destined TO Shrek along his path to the
Judgment Day.
1t is not true that O so-called successful" {"
life is necessarily success. 1t is more often
the greatest calamity that could befall poor
human soul. Honorable success is worthy the
aspiration Of any man. Success that involves
dishonor. questionable methods, half-surrend-
ers. equivoeatiOn, duplicity, falsehood, should
be shuRDed rs the veriest pitfalls of hell.
1t is not long since we saw a mother call her
son, just coming TO mans estate. to her side.
What she said to him was this: " My boy, you

achieved money and influence through corrupt
practices and the sacrifice of personal honor.
"Yes," he said; and she made answer: !" Be
as unlike him as possible. If you cannot
succeed on the side of truth and honesty, get
down in the gutter and dig. Work on the
, grade with the most ignorant laboring man
Do anything that will keep your hands clean
, and your heart pure. But know that thi;
. moment l would rather see you in your coffin
than that you should roll in wealth and luxury
at such fearful cost"
DUTY" not success" is the slogan of vir
tue. Place no other inscription upon your
banners. set your bugles TO no other call. You
may never be rich. you may never be prince

an honest man. What is yours you viii have
} justly earned. If honors come, they will be th,
brighter because you deserve them. If defeat

bars, or in your solitary chamber, with the hant
Of remorse upon your throat.
