NEW YEAR THOUGHTS.
Labor tho True Key of Success in kin
Few Excellent MaXims.

S|DoA 'A.o -
Anew Excellent Maxims.
Renewed feelings of ambition are
synonymous with the opening OF the
new year. More resolutions are made
than at any other time, and as often are
they alas! broken. But with some the
resolutions made with the dawn of d
new year have been carried through to
it's close. Numerous lives of honor and
achievement can be traced to some de-
termination of purpose made upon an
occasion such as the first day of the year
affords for fresh start in the journeyof
life. We all desire success; the prob
lem of life is it's winning. Every per-
son carries in his or her own hand the
kew that unlocks either the door of sue
cess or failure.
The true key of success is labor, and
it requires strong, resolute Will to turn
it. 1t is hard, earnest work, step by
step, that insures success, and never was
this truth more potent than at the
present time. Positions of Trust and
eminence are no longer secured at
single leap. Men and women have ceased
to succeed in a hurry. Occasionally
there will be an exception, but the in
Stances are rare. kouCCeSS, d Niieci nos
said, is the child of confidence and perse-
verance, and never was the meaning OF
word more clearly defined. The secret
of many successful careers is the
thorough performance of whatever has
| been undertaken
An excellent maxim is that which
counsels us never to put our hands to
any thing into which we can not throw
our whole energies harnessed with the
very best of our cndeavors. Porsever-
ance is essential to success, since 1T is
often achieved only through success
sion of failures. In spite of our best
| efforts, failures are in store for the ma
| iority of the race. 1t remains, then, for
us all to do the best we can under all
circumstances, bearing in mind that
races arc not always won by the swift
est feet nor triumph in bnttle secured
| by the strongest arms. 1t Is not so much
the possession of swifUness or strength
as it is the right application of them by
which success is insured.
In starting out upon the journey of
| life it is well:
First, to obtain every kernel of llnowl-
edge within your reach.
Study people for the knowledge they
can impart to you.
Read books for what they can teach
you. Next, see what your temperament
best suits you for.
Mark your tendencies and apply them.
Be sure you have not mistaken your
calling.
Once certain, apply yourself to your
/ chosen work.
Then work hard earnestly and inces-
sanity.
Don't consider any thing beneath pJus
Be patient, honest and PHEASANT in
manner.
Treat all persons alike, high or low.
Have a smile for all, a pleasant word
for everybody.
Success may not come at first, but il
will not be far off, and when ii; does
come it will be the sweeter'for its delay.

in Bethlehem, Pa. was highly educated
and accomplished and a woman Of
wealth. She had very romantic ideas,
and her infatuation for Indians was
extreme. In 1865 Chief Lewis Down
