prosperity can generally stand it tho
best.
l am convinced that. as an incentive
for labor rivalry beats mans inspira-
tions every time.
1t can all be summed up in s~elf-reli-
ance. 1t more used to asking than
granting, you become accustomed also
to obeying and not being obeyed.
The majority of so-called .'scandle"
that aftlicts society moro often springs
from weak souls and empty heads than
from really sinful, envenomed hearts.
Don't tell what you ought to do OF
intend to do. Aside from a sitting hen,
nothing is more uncertain than the
person who always intends but delays
to do this or that.
There Is no good reason why people
who differ from you in opinion, who
have ideas of their own hat do not
happen to blend with yours, should be
dubbed '.cranks, and yet l believe thar
it is the prime incentive for the appel
lation in most cases.
My young friends, remember that
you are at last what you have made
yourself. Somebody may take credit
for your making, perhaps. but some
body will in That case take credit for
what he has not done. 'Tis your
struggle, your victory or defeat, your
reward or dishonor.
If faithful in small responsibilities
they generate into larger ones. Pro-
motion from your present round on the
ladder to the one above it, and the one
above that and to the top, may not be
rapid, but is generally permanent and
certainly merlted, which is at least
some satisfaction.
ldon't believe that the majority of
young men are naturally all bad. At
any rate, if one-half the amount of
encouragement were given them to do
right by worthy people that is given
them to do wrong by vicious and I'M
worthy people, the number of candi-
dates for redemption could, l believe.
be decidedly lcssened.
An most cases failures are 10. nope
less misfortunes, and, though often
bitter. nevertheless profitable expert
ences, even if the lesson be severe.
But few people learn SO etlcctua:iy
what their capabilities are, or what
making ones way" means as by ex-
perience, and of these ninety-nine out
of every hundred will be benefited in
q greater or less degree for the reproof
1t depending very much upon how
we'll the knowledge gained is applied.
Do not be too hasty in arriving at
conclusions, especially upon first OBJ
%servation. People will always appear
to be as good as they really are if they
know that others observe. If taken of
their guard, when fancying they are
alone. they appear as bad as they
really are. A ten minutes, observa.
ticn then will tell you more in regard
to the real character of the man or
woman than could be learned in ten
months when they are prepared for
Inspection.
When young l was too ambitious to
get plenty of the root" and, follow
ing out my inclinations, often over
worked. and then put in a season of
granting, aided by salts" But ago
is often accompanied by wisdom.
Now l let others do the heavy work,
while | do the grunting over the
light work. Half the wisdom of life,
l have found out. lies in not working
all the time, unless you have to, with
out now and then a season of enjoy
ment.
In this day and age of our Lord
the majority only make a living any
how, and many there are who are not
SO fortunate. 'Tis only now and then
that any n person amasses great
wealth. Don't make r. y9rr mind
to become opulent 'yit!tout hard WORK,
and you may be gratitied if you can
then keep your head above the high
water mark, amid the tribulations that
for some good and sufficient reasons
undoubtedly are to be met with in
every and all branches of business.
Young man, in my opinion, thinner
man was a seer when he declared:
"Who lives with wolves must join in
their howls." If you associate with
questionable characters, you are
counted as n of them-in sympathy
with them or their misdemeanors,
even if neither; il they ''howl," you
are supposed to voice their sentiments,
though you may not openyour mouth.
The company you keep has much
to do with your securing a remunera-
tive position in life. Charity will not
secure you a position, for charity is
II thing and business another. -Jud
Lafagan, in Chicago Ledger.
Popular Notion of Beauty.
Our popular notion of beauty is dis
played with unconscious exactitude in
the saws which declare it .'only skin
Deep" a SNARE" and "handsome is
that handsome docs" The tendency
of English people to moralize is not to
be repressed even in such a matter as
this. They refuse to grasp an abb
Stract idea. Beauty mnst he ellied
