SIX BIG BLUNEERs.
The first blunder was born in
Paradise, and since then there
have been blunders Of all sorts,
literary, scientific, agricultural;
political, etc.
This blunder Of Adams is a
blunder iretrievable. We have
that one to commence with.
The other plumbers we are re-
sponsible for. / will speak Of
six:
BLUNDER FIRST.
Multiplicity Of occupations:
Don't try to do too many things.
Do just one thing with all your
soul and you are a success. |
had q friend who was q poet, a
painter, a speaker, a farmer, and
he did everything we'll, but he
was ali exception. We can't all
be exceptions. Here ale two
things to pnt in your note books:
LIST, Find a sphre; 2nd, X sep it!
Let the brick-layer stick to
his trowel, the carpenter to hts
plane, the lawyer to his brief
and the minister to his pulpit
Except when he lectures). Don't
have a variety Of occupations.
The lawyer for law, the merch-
ant fol- goods and Punch for
joking.
Sometimes a man is prepared
by sheer trouble, and graduates
in the University Of hard knocks.
You may be good in one thing,
but when you spread out you
fail. Concentrate, young man,
concentrate; one great idea is
better than 500 little ones.
Every man should do one
thing well-spiritually, mental
ly, physically. Il you have
something to do, do it. God
sends no man on a FOOLS errand
From God comes favorable Cir
cumstances, AMI they come In
regiments and brigades. Ride
up the line! Give the command
Forward, march!
When we 20 as God wills Us

stop us. care not for educa
ton, nor for mental calibre
only pu: forth all your work
in one direction and you will
he a tremendous man; look GU
for him.
BLUNDER NEXT.
Bad humor: Why do you fire.
and worry: It is the most sense
. less, the least paying and mos
. destructive of faults. There i
, not single argument in it
favor. There is but one excus
for it-weakness, yes, to be, il
a bad humor is an evidence o
, weakness. You can't help i,
Then you are a failure.
Two men start in life, on,
without equipoise, another will
. good humor, and the man VIII
controls his temper though h
, may be inferior in ability will
, come out ahead.
