Young man, if you want to suc-
ceed you must have an object. If
you go on through life in a slip-shod,
almless sort of a way, the chances
are that you will die, as you have
lived, mere cipher soon forgotten
in this world, and if by the provi-
dence Of God you succeed in getting
into the next, you will have to sit
around on the ragged edge unable
to Join in the smallest song which
the celestial choir are said to sing.
There won't be any place for you
and nothing for you to busy your
self about. You won't even have
the satisfaction of being allowed to
assist in taking up the collection,
because you would go to sleep be-
fore you got half way round.
Have an object What does it
matter if you do fall short of it !?
Aim high, and blaze away. Suppose
you don't hit the mark-you are no
worse than hundreds of others But
let me tell you, if you aim well and
keep on firing, after awhile some
thing is sure TO drop. OF course If
you shut your eyes and pull off
both barrels at once, you may hit
something, but the probabilities are
that you won't and if you do it will
very likely be some odoriferous tur-
key buzzard or harmless little pee
wee, that it would have been much
better for your reputation had you
let 1T alone.
Have an object, young man, and
stick to it. You may never be Pres
ident or even Governor, but if you
keep some worthy object in view and
work hard, we'll wager lead nickle
that some day you'll be able to take
your best girl to the circus without
skulking around on the back streets
for fear of meeting your washer-wo-
man, whom you owe for your last
three weeks washing.-S. Louis
Magazine.

GEN. GRANTS LIFE SERVICES.


There was little in the boyhood
or early career of Ulysses Grant that
gave evidence of the great part he
was destined to play in the worlds
history. He cut, it is said, poor
figure as a farmer, his father was a
better tanner than he, and as a busi-
ness man he did not distinguish
himself. His firmness of purpose
and stubborn will, which constituted
an important element in his militia
~ success, formed a noticeable trait
Of his character as boy, Grant
was of Scotch descent, though little
is known of the family beyond his
grandfather. This worthy gentle
man settled in Westmoreland coun-
ty. Pa, in 1894, where the father of
Ulysses was born. Subsequently
he emigrated to Ohio. which was
then the far west. Here he died
penniless, leaving seven children to
battle with the world. The father
of III uses, one of these seven chill
dren, was then but eleven years of

It was at the end of long han, that
commanded the front door and front
gate, where the dog had dropped. His
master patted him atl'ectionately, passed
on and mounted his horse, but Fritz no
more moved than if he were dead.
His master called to him: Goodbye,
Fritz but he lay motionless. The
household gathered about him and tried
to comfort him.
Look up, Fritz l said. See! your
master is speaking to you," but he
buried his face between his paws and
seemed not to hear.
When some one said: Papa is gone"
low moan burst from the dog, and
this finally became a sobbing cry which
did not cease until after m dday.
1t was one of the most piteous sounds
| ever heard. We soothed and caressed
him and brought him delicacies we
knew he liked, but he was dead to our
cOmfortings and refused all food, until,
as night drew on, we began to grow a
little superstitious, lest the dogs grief
should presame some harm to the mas
ter The next day, however, he grew
more recOnciled but only recovered his
spirits upon the return of his master,
whom he was ready to dcvOur with Joy.

collections. Papa jameson has a col

treasure is her rare china; Aunt Mates
affections are set upon choice engrav-
