How easy 1t would have been for these failures 10 have made some methodical calculation as to the territory they were to supply, the number of people, the qnanti- ties required and the competition to b, met, and thus have llepl with in the limits of safety and h reach of an open road for retreat, paved with good credit for another time and place.
 The heedliness that marks the pathway of these mercantile fail ures also finds its votaries in every other calling ot fife.
 To the young ladies he sad:
 When your brother, sweet heart, or maybe, after awhile husband, , talks to you of his ambitions and bis prospects with the jealous hope known only to youth, if you will try you eau spy ou his weakness and gently guide him to Surer methods to gain better ends. If he IS wild and full of tollieS. don't lose patience, for if there IS any mettie in Linn the duties and eSponsibIli- ties ot life will work a complete re- generation ot him before he goes very far; but 1t frequently takes your interest in him to brl' t him to his senses before he h.s lost gUl- den opportunities and is forced t0 carry regrets into older years. f he IS dlssioated you are the only hope of his reform, for if he ls not moved by your interest iR him. nothing else will rouse hIs debauch ed and sleeping pride. If that brother, whose welfare IS your JOY and sustenancc, becomes addicted 10 the vice of ihtempcrance, which IS the curse of our country, don't scold and storm at him, but wait until you can catch his guilty eye in soberness and lead him out among the flowers; show him a marchancil rose, and ask him if God ever created anything more beautiful? Tell him the human face is just as sublImcly bcau,ItaI when cultivated and that the breath of health is like the perfume of roses: that the use of intoXicant~ de- yelops in adverse ratio the facult;e of the brute which occupy the real anl base of the brain, just as so- bricIy, temperance and study devel- op the front and top of the brain, giving beauty to the face, lustrc to the eye, purity to the thoughts, and q conscious power for llght that forms the sublimest courage; that his success in life depends upon himself, and hIs moral conduct IS the only arbitcr of that success, and that you love him If that don't set hlm to thinking what he IS here for, nothing else will; and when he listens and obeys, the very stars twinkle with renewed joy at v UT grandest success in life. That is the regeneration that pays the highest premium, that IS the re- form, and the only one, that will make this wo, ld any better.
 Truthfulncss IS the capital stock of success; nothing else can still q disturbed concicncc, and give that peace within which passeth under standing" When EX- President Cleveland was first a candidate for the Il yhest office in our gift, an at, tempt was made to drag him down by the publication of a scandal, and Henry Ward Beechcr and others desired to investigate the matter. Mr. CIeveland's prompt response, of "Tell the truth" won every man ly heart in this broad country, whether they agreed with him DO itically or not, and he has set such all example of tru.hfulncss and can dor to the youth of thls country that cannot fail in aiding them to higher and better lives.
 
 Be true 10 yourselves and the COT sciousness of it w ill sustain you and cheer you beyond all the cxstacy that can be awakened by the cheers of the multitude. Success then be- comes tangible thing which you possess, and it's possession will ra- diate from you every Nisagc ana broaden the road and tighten the load for others.
 Energy or motive power is neces sary 10 succe $. The cultivation oi activity and a willingness 10 labol will catch the attention ot abnsiness man more quickly frequently than an abundance of experience and bright talents. A man of fine nor al character approached me fol work; he said he was willing to do anything to make himself useful and his services rcmuneltiave. told him 1 wanted a man at once 10 take position that would re uure him to commence work at three in the morning and employ his time until noon. 1 saw he be gin to squirm. told him the DO sitlon would pay him two thousand dollars q year, if he would only push the work and give 1t close at.
