Examples Of What ThOrOughness aud Per
severance Can Accomplish.
There was once In Harrow school Q
very poor boy. the son Of a small
tradesman in Harrow, who was very
much hurt by thoughtless taunts
about the poverty OF his family. and he
used 70 say: "Never mind; I intend
before / die TO ride In coach and
four" not Q very noble ambition; but
long before DR.. Parr died he had be-
come the greatest scholar Of his age.
and habitually rode In . coach and
four. When Warren Hastings was q
boy he used to grieve at the fact that
his family had lost their paternal es-
tate at Daylesford. and TO say: Il will
buy that back" He grew up to be the
great proconsul Of the age; he bought
back the estate. and he died at Dayles-
ford. Ihad the honor Of knowing Mr..
George Moore. You may remember
that he came 10 London q poor. un-
known, unbefriended Cumberland lad.
When he entered great commercial
establishment his ambition was: II In
tend to marry my masters daughter
and become my masters partner. :"
Both those things he accomplished.
He not only became q very wealthy
man. but. what was infinitely better. q
man Of great service to his generation.
About sixty years ago there was a boy
Of Jewish extraction, q clerk In q So
licitor's office, and TO the intense
amusement OF his companions he used
TO say: II intend TO be Prime Min
lister Of England" and in spite
Of scorn he became Prime Minister,
and his name was Benjamin Disraeli.
Ninety years ago there was q boy In
Statfordshire who had been told ex-
actly what ! am telling you-that any
boy who determined TO be this or that
could be, and he said: ''lf that be
true. / will test It; and am deter
mined 10 be Prime Minister Of En-
gland" That boy became Prime
Minister. and his name was Robert
Peel Some fifty years ago there was
q very rude and ungainly- looking boy
who seemed as II all his limbs were
out Of joint; when seven years old he
was shoeless and penniless, who at
seventeen was driving a canal boat, at
twenty was q rail-splitter. at twenty
two was at the head Of q small shop
which was very successful. but who
used TO amuse his comrades by saying:
Never mind; I intend to become
President Of the United States" His
name was Abraham Lincoln. II Is
logged that does II. and It is thorough
that does t. After all his failures
Lincoln thought he would take to the
law. He bought law book, and after
breakfast he used to go out and sit
under a tree, and with his legs higher
than his head. move round the tree
In the shade from morn to dewy eve.
In that way he mastered the law book,
and in time became one Of the greatest
Of the modern Presidents Of America
