Correspondence Of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, September I'll
Wellington, after the great victo-
at Waterloo, over the champion
general Napoleon, said to Butcher,
"That a great victory was the sad
dest thing on earth except defeat"
This is certainly a fact, universal
ly conceded, when considered with
in the strict meaning of the SEN
tence. Victory is often used synony-
mously with success; and when
used in that way the above asser-
ton becomes confronted with
myrid nonapprovals: because sue
cess is to be praised, to some ex-
tent, no matter how trivial its
mission, or how ruinous its aim.
To really attain success, one must
be promptly equipped tor the con-
test; and I mean by this only, that
he should be possessed of the vim
and energy sufficient to carry him
through. A man may have all OF
the filthy lucre he may desire, and
may have had golden opportuni-
ties in which to rise, and may be
strictly college bred. but the sue
cess that is expected for him may
be far out of the reach of his abili-
ties.
He may lack perseverance,, or
he may have bad associates, or he
may have some wrong inclination,
any one of which deficiencies will
lead him to the foot of the noun
tain that he thought he would be
able to scale. Hence he will be
afforded an opportunity for dire re-
Election.
Again, follow the young man
whose chances have been less fat
tering, and whose friends have not
been legion, but who is energetic,
brave and honest and who is al
wsys found at his post of duty and
and when he starts out in his walk
of life, you can see him carefully
treading his way to the top round
of his friends expectations. Young
doctors, young lawyers and young
business men in general, must be
found in their Offices and places OF
business. Let a caller come in and
inquire for the young business
man, lawyer or doctor, and be met
with the response, SHE is out on
the streets somewhere" it fills the
caller with some degree of disap-
pointment, and when he needs a
lawyer or a doctor, after that, he
will 60 where the young man is
found who sticks TO his task and
stands to his guns. Success, like
any other object, to be properly
and successfully attained, must be
met with open hands and honest
hearts. Hands willing to grapple
with all the adversities incident
to the fight; and hearts ready to
forget and forgive the unkind cuts
that await a young man on 80 un-
certain a journey. While the
writer is a believer in the cid say.
ing, "That opportunities make the
man." yet 10000 young men are
unable to grapple with the oppor'
tunities that hover around them,
where one takes them and masters
them. May the young man, wheth'
er richly possessed OF not, when
standing at the close of the Water
loo of their lives, he proud to say
that we have done our best; and
that success is the brightest page
of our lives. A YOUNG MAN.
