Principles o. Success.

There is nothing which i NOR
certain of being duly rewal Ied,
says the Manufacturer Gazette
ethan honest, persevering indus
try. No man can hope to vii
success who is not possessed o
patience snd perseverance, ant
with willingness to work his wa,
up along the road that leads to
final success in life's endeavor.
"At the present time there is al
together too much grumbling
growing, and fault-fnding. Young
men seem to think they should be
helped to success, and many even
think it should be brought to them
and thrown in their laps, and
these generally go through life
waiting for it to be done, and al
ways growing because it is not"
public Office may seek the man.
We say it may, but success never
does. If he wants success, he
must not only seek it, and seek
diligently too, but must do more,
ne must deserve it. There is too
muSfssssHc oIn petition in the field for
ne to hope even for a small share
of successful reward unless he is
able to win it by his own personal
application and effort"
''The field is broad and the way
is open to all, and the chances
were never better than now, and
there are no excuses that can be
offered for the man who will not
avail himself, except his own indo-
lence and laziness."
Let us see how some men go
to work to win success. A young
man enters a mill, factory or shop.
He has the promise of his employ
er that he will be advanced as he
becomes useful He becomes ac-
quainted with cher young men. /
He enjoys ther company and i
shares their amnsments, and, as c
is too often the cap, these amuse- s
ments lead to a NEGLECT of work t
and his employers interests. It t
is not q question as 70 how well~ e
and faithfully be csr serve his en- t
ployer and gain his syn promotion t
but how quickly h can get v
through his work and out with h
the boys. His whole the outside S,
of working hours is Even to h
amrsements. His mind isabsorb- "
ed in this, and after Will he is
dicharged. Then he proceeds to h
upbraid his employer and urse al
his tate, when the whole thing is d
of his own bringing about. Sch fl
a young man viii never be secceA- d
full, unless it be as a gambler an te
outlaw al
Another young man is in thea
employ of a large corporation, in
company with q large number of {
other workmen. Some dissatisfied t
and disgruntled employee begins L
to talk of low wages, oppression l
and tyranny. Others join him, (
and the young man listens until '
he is of the impression that he, I
too, is being deprived of some t
thing, and joins the army of NAL !
contents, and sights his work, q
loses his interest, helps to stir up ,
strife, and is finally dismissed with
others, and then seeks to vindicate l
himself by abusing his employ er L
and lamenting his condition. Are {
these examples of successful men? t
Can any one hope to rise in the 6
world who pursues such g course?
The lives and conditions of thou I
sands who have tried it speak {
more plainly than words can do,
and are a warning to others" d
Concentrate the mind upon the b
one object of success, and, come g
what may, let others do or say {
what they-chooge, never desert q
that object, never be wheedIed out :
of your purpose by any seemingly t
plausible argument" '
''These are no mere words of ad- 7
vice or idle talk, but are facts
founded upon principles as old as s
time, and proved by examples to- !
ward which all may point with e
pride, andwhich we may all seek G
to follos With an assurance Of sue /
cess, if fliowed truthfuIly and to +
the end" :
