welcome; he is welcome to my home, he
is Welcome to my heart, but with all his
good qualifications he is not a man of
business, while his opponent is, with all
his political hostility to me, a man of
good business qualities. My private
feelings have nothing to do in this case,
l am not Geo. Washington, but Presi-
dent of the United States. AS Geo.
Washington l would do this man any
kindness in my power, but as President
of the United States l can do nothing for
him., Well would it be for our land
and nation if every successor in the
Presidential Office had observed and
would now and hereafter observe similar
virtuous principles in administering the
affairs of state. Public morality would
" be in SO deplorable a condition as at
. present time.
DrtsTalmage preached a sermon not
long ago, IN which he aft med that there
was more need of honesty nov thar ever
before; tried honesty, complete honesty;
more need of this to-day than 10 those
times when business was q plain IF ,ir.
and woolens were woolens and sIlAs noIe
silks and men were men. Character is
another power that should be carefully
cultivated, and there is no time like
youth in which to lay the founda-
ton of good character. In the
common sense opinion of mankind,
every mans character is in his own
Life deposits in character are not so
much what we accomplish as what we
struggle to do. The building of charsc-
ter, like building a wall, does not spring
up suddenly into mature being. 1t rises
IiaEson tier, and it's quality depends very
much upon the materials we put into it,
and it's durability will depend upon the
twaysthe materials are cemented together.
1t is constantly making. There is not a
conscious moment in our lives when
moral choices are made that it does not
build up or break down our character.
1t goes on, being added to or subtr9cted
from. day after day, unconsciously to
ourselves.
We can see the analogy to all this in
real life on every hand. Here is a man
who bias to struggle with poverty from
his childhood. While yet a boy he is
thrust into business by the hard hand of
necessity. He begins at the bottom and
struggles against odds aud climbs step
by step. His ideal is to be a strong,
honorable, successful business man and
to achieve this end he denies himself
luxury and ease, tolls early aud late, aud
holds himself relentlessly to his task.
Now, the success this man may achieve
-ie business is by no means as important
as the confict he has passed through to
build for himself a noble character.
Life ia agift from God, which can be
wasted ofds Ga that every one
might feel thstfts weight was more than
the weight of years. Would you make
the most of life, choose it's highest road.
Wonld that l might impress u pom the
minds of the young within the sound of
my voice to night the great necessity of
moral culture in early life, impress upon
them the sacTedness of their moral
nature, for upon this basis is founded
their future success.
Dear young people, my closing remarks
are to you. Now you are in the period
of apprentice sbir. Your future depends
upon the manner in which you spend the
present. Youth is the time to prepare
for the battle of life by being virtuous
and upright, lovers of good companions,
~assiduous in the culture of the mind and
heart, both morally aud spiritually, then
will success be most certainly yours.
He who has been blest with a pious,
moral and ii dustrious youth may dwell
with delight on the past, enjoy :he pres
ent and look forward with confidence to
the future. Do not think of to days
failures, but of the success that may
come Tomorrow. Remember that no
effort we make to attain something beau
tiful and good is ever lost, Sometime,
somewhere, somehow we shall fud that
for which we seek.
The man with a weight on his leg can't
hope to win in the race. A man with a
weight on his health can't expect to COM

are not handicapped. If his brain is

tude. Constipation can be cured easily
and certainly by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are not at all
violent in their action. and yet they are
more certain than many medicines which
are so strong that they put the system all
out of order. The great advantage of the
pheasant Pellets is that they cure
permanently.
