verge of death have reproached them
selves with the keenness of rebuke which
language is too poor 10 convey
The lofty Queen Elizabeth, as she lay
dying. cried out. Millions of money for
one inch of tinler' How many such
inches had she thrown away! The pierre
ing cry came too late, her time was
gone. Time is like a ship which never
anchors; it may bear us on like rough
trotting horse; and our journey may have
it's dark nights and it's jack O. lanterns
but there will come a rudy morning
at last, a smoother road and an easier
gait.
To be successful in life we must be en-
terprising. energetic and industrious.
Enterprise oils the wheels of energy
and industry. Industry gathers together
with a frugal hand the means whereby
we are enabled to develop our plans and
purposes.
Energy gives us force whereby we may
gather courage to persevere in the lines
decided upon. and bids US go forth
against opposing circumstances. Enter
prise suggests ways and means TO over
come difficulties that threaten to over
whelm us. and bids us explore entirely
new fields.
Thus armed and with a mighty pur-
pose in view we should never be salts
fed with present attachments. but strive
to seek new knowledge and plod patient
membering the nights are beyond.
We must not stand signing. wishing
and waiting, but we must go to work
with energy and perseverance that will
set every obstacle in the way Of success
flying like leaves before a whirlwind.
Providence has a hidden charm In
difficult undertakings which is appre-
ciated only by those who dare to grapple
with them: but this can only be true
when. by our own eXertions and the
strength of our own self-reliance AMI
enterprise we have achieved the result.
Every one ought to desire to succeed in
life. To have succeeded is one of ife's
greatest consultations. To have made a
failure Of life is more TO be regretted
than anything else.
Success is whiting reach Of every man
and woman; though one man not accu-
mulate a fortune yet he may be success
full.
Wealth. position and fame arc only in
cidents which may or may not accom-
pany success. True success is something
above and beyond them. SO it is ones
own fault if he makes a failure Of life.
And while we are striving for success
we must not think only of our own
selves. but of the welfare of others. and
help them to conquer the Alps of diff
Guilty and thus strengthen our own life.
We must live SO all will honor and re-
spect us We can speak words of cheer
the erring.
We can help remove obstacles from
the paths of the weak and speak words
of enCOura cement. We can incite the
minds of those around us by correct eX-
amples and pure life. We can bid those
who are well-nigh overwhelmed by waves
Of affliction and sorrow. TO look up and
see the sunshine breaking through the
riffs in the dark clouds that have shut
in around them.
All this can he done by every one. and
a mans good deeds will have an in
fluence upon him and determine a de-
gree of his success.
Every one then, regardless Of his con-
dition in iife, should set his aim high
and resolve to remit no labor necessary
for its realization. Cheerfully take up
the trials and burdens that life has in
store Cor him and carry them forth to a
glorious CODSummatiOn. be the dis
couragements what they may, and then
There shall be no Alps.
