Much that is called luck is not really
suoh. but follows deserving. Real luck
ia a mere matter of chance, upon whlch
we can no more depend for living or
for adya cement than upon the turn OF
a card He who would command good
fortune must depend upon his own in
dustry and character. He may meet
with hard fortune, it is true, but indus
try. zeal, honesty, will surely lift him
ont of it in the long run, and If not his
fortune cannot be altogether bad Wheh
he retains to the end his honor ana IN
dependence The young may properly
recognize that there is such a thing as
luck, but they should place no depend
ence on it. but think only Of lifting
themselves to make good use OF 1t II IL
should come their way. The chances
which may come to every one and whlch
are wholly beyond control are lnnumer-
able but he who speculates upon them
will lose as surely as the gambler, or,
when be wins, show gamblers recK-
lessness in getting rid of his winnings.
There is a German proverb that LUCK
seeks those who flee and fees those VINO
seek it. y The wise man will therefore
not seek it, but moving through the
world as though no such thing existed
will depend upon his own intelligence,
his own industry, his own good pur
poses to command fortune. Thus, self
reliant, he will be ready on the instant
to take advantage of any fortuitous CIR
cumstances to further his designs or be
equally ready to avoid or overcome the
'hard luck" that would overwhelm one
who was not thus fortified. Baltimore

A Musical Dickens.

The appearance of the novelist's elder
sister as pianist on the stage of Drury
Lane theater has not, l think, been no
ticed by any writer Her name occurs
in the playbill ON the occasion of Har-
ley's benefit, May 30, 1897, among tho
performers in a concert introduced be-
tween the pieces, and supported by Miss
Stephens, Miss Fanny Ayton and 9th
ers. She was announced thus: "Miss
Dickens of the Royal Academy of Mu-
sic, the celebrated pupil of Mr.. Mos
cheles, will perform her masters 'Recol-
lections of Ireland.
For the same actors benefit, in the
following year, she played "Anticipa-
tions of Scotland, y also by Moscheles.
Harley appears to have been an early
friend Of the Dickens family, and it was
probably to his interest that Dickens
owed the production Of his plays at the
St. James theater, which happened
while Harley was stage manager there.

COOP AND BAD LUCK.
Their Influence May BE Determined by
the Law of Probabilities.

Their Influence May Be Determined by
the Law of Probabilities.
A great deal of sophistry has been
wasted in vain attempts to prove that
there is no such thing as luck, good or
bad; that nothing happens by chance,
all results coming from some definite
cause. Even though the latter state
ment could be proved or should be adj
mitted, it would not preclude the exist
ence Of luck to the individual.
That which occurs, favorable or unfa-
vorable to him, from any cause beyond
his control, is good luck, and there is no
doubt that luck plays some part in the
history of every one, but it is of much less
Importance than the idle or Indifferent
suppose. The individual may or may
not take advantage of the fortuitous cir
cumstances or luck which he meets.
That depends ON himself, his abilities,
his industry, his boldness, his character,
thousand qualities Of mind or per
son. Moreover as one cannot control
luck, the important thing in life is to
prepare oneself to meet 1t and turn it
to some account. Those who lay too
much stress upon luck seldom deserve
good fortune They are indolent, with
out enterprise or zeal, and spend their
time in complaining Of their own hard
luck or in envious consideration of the
good luck of others.
Lowell in one of his essays says that
"luok may and often does have some
share In ephemeral successes, as in a
gamblers winnings, spent as soon as
got, but not in any lasting triumph
over time. 1t is of course conceivable
that an ephemeral success, arising from
luck, may lay the foundation for last
ing success due to hard labor and de-
serving, but the rule is that unearned
advantages cannot be held; the winner
is not fitted by training and habits to
hold fast TO that which he has gained
Golden pictures the subject truly, so far
as young men are concerned, when he
says that luck is ever waiting for
something TO turn up Labor, with keen
eyes and strong will, will turn up
elmething" The last sentence is one
of great significance to the vounG
