INDUSTRY.

Our success in life generally bears
a direct proportion to the exertion
we make, and if we aim at nothing
we will certainly achieve nothing.
By the remission Of labor and en-.
ergy, it often happens that power
ty and contemptS disaster and de-
feat, steals marGA upon honor
and overwhelms us with remorse
and shame. n
4 very important principle in
the business of noney-getting is
industry, preserving indefatiga@le
attention to business. Preservine,
diligence is the prosperous stone
which turns everything to gold.
Constant, regular ehabitual and sys
tcbhatic application to bvs.s.'sl.i
must, in time, if properly directed
produce great results? 1t must
lead to wealth with the same GER
tainty that poverty follows in the
train of idleness and inattention.
1t has been said that the best
cure for hard times, is to cheat the
doctor by being temperate; the la
borer, by keeping out of debt; the
demagogues, by voting for honest
men; and poverty, by being indus
trious. To industry, guided by
reasonable intelligence and ccono-
my, every man can look with GER
tainty, as an unfailing source Of
temporal prosperity. Whatever is
useful or beautiful in art. science OF
any other human at tainmcnt, has
conc from industry. In the hunl-
blest pursuits Of life, industry may
be accomplished by the noblest inf
tclligence, 50 that respect, place and
power are opened to its hulnblest,
honest votary. Let no man spurn
industry as his TEMPORAL shield; it
is the safest and surest, he can
buckle it to his arm, and with 1T
he can defy poverty and want,
which more than anything else de-
stroys the independence of man.
Honorable industry always travels
the same road with enjoyment and
duty; and progress is altogether
impossible without it.
! The idle pass through life leaving
as little trace of their existence as
foam upon the water, or smoke in
the air; whereas, the industrious
stamp their character upon tlinii
\ kge and Influence his own, and al
Succeeding generations.
Labor is the best test of the ener
gies of men, and furnished admira
ble training for practical wisdom
i Practical industry, wisely and
vigously applied never fails Of sue
cess. 1t carries man upward anc
onward bringing out his individu
al character, and powfully stimu
lates the actions Of others. Al
may not rise equally. yet each OF
the whole, much according to hi
deserts.
The habit, free from the petty
ailments entitled by sluggishness
and irritation and time employ cd
not wasted in murmurS and dis
cordance.
The spirits, embarrassed by, pet
ty pains and plaques, rise to cheer
fulness. The faculties unimpair b,
disease, unblunted by disuse, NOR
vigorously expanded. The who'll
man active, useful and happy, j
enabled 10 resist the approaches o
infrnity, sickness and sorrow; t
enjoy vigorous old age, and t.
drop after Il brief struggle, his MOI
tai frame to save with improves
powers, into state Of improves
being. While in idlencss, the dis

mind weakened and stupified, in
brides wild and gloomy ideas; tn
better faculties are crushed an
curbcd, and the whole man, at leas
sinks beneath the undermindin
mischiefs of insidious sloth.
