A Good Name.

A young man does not always
find 1t easy to get on in the world
without education or family in
fucnce, or personal friends, or
property, or health, but he will
find in the long run tina: it is easier
for him to make his way among
men without any or all of these
advantages than to make substan-
tial progress in the world without
the reputation Of a good character,
even though he has all these other
possessions. Characters stand for
something every whore, in spite of
its frequent sighting. Men who
are themselves lacking in a good
character appreciate and value it in
others. A band of robbers would
want an honest treasurer.
The young man whose word can
not be believed, whose honesty is
not above suspicion, and whose
personal life is not what it ought
to be, is not the young man that
the business world has open places
for. He may have health and
wealth and family position and %
host Of friends, but if he is without
character he is at a disadvantage in
every position in life. When q
youngman who has lost his good
good name makes an honest effort
to recover 1t finds that his way up
ward is hard one-great deal
harder, in spite of all other helps,
than it would have been if he had
made a right sta,t without these
helps. Friends are comparatively
powerless in their efforts to win
confidence tors.one who has proved
himself unworthy CT it on former
occasions. Then it is that the
young man is likely to realize as
never before that "a good name IS
rather to be chosen than great
ritches," even as a worldly invest
ment, because it is so hard to get
on Without a good name, to regain
it when once surrendered, every
young man who has that possession
ought to count it above price, and
to have great care lest he lose it..
