Always yigilant.

In early life Audubon, the naturalist,
was financially ruined, so that when
his debts had been paid he found him
self without dollar, yet he was abso-
luely undiscouraged.
"Was I Inclined" he asks, "to cut
my throat in foolish despair? No! l
had talents, and to them instantly re-
sorted"
There he stood at the parting of the
ways, and be struck into the path which
was to lead him to fame and reasona-
BILE amount of prosperity. But it is to be
remembered that he never for a moment
relinouished his pursuit of observing
the life Of wood and fields, and to read
one short extract from his autobiogra-
ply is to learn why he met with success
rather than failure:
Zone of the most extraordinary
things among all these adverse circum-
stances was that ! never for q day gave
up listening to the songs of our birds or
watching their peculiar habits or delin-
eating them in the best way l could.
Nay, during my deepest troubles /
would frequently wrench myself from
the persons around me and retire to
some secluded part of our noble forests,
and many time at the sound of the
woodshrush's S melodies have fallen on
my knees and there prayed earnestly to
our God. "-Youth's Companion.
