SUCCEsS WITHOUT MONEY.

The consoling discovery is made by
Senator Mason, of Illinois, that money
is not essential to the attainments of
success, for he says this, in Success.
lone of the most successful men
ever knew never had a thousand
dollars ahead in his life. He had no
aptitude for making money, yet he
continually tried to. During financial
panics and failures, he kept his spirit
unchanged and unbroken. He never
held an Office of any kind in his life.
LitigationI he avoided wholly, and he
never INDUCED in controversies. He
had as few acquaintance, think, as
any man / ever knew. ! regarded
him as successful because he was al
ways cheerful, Industrious and tenn
perate, always thoughtful of those a
bout him, and in matter of eonvic-
ton, was absolutely fearless. To
others he gave the same liberty of
thought that he demanded himself.
His motto was: Principle, not ex-
pediency.n When he died he left
barely enough to pay for his funeral
expenses, and yet / maintain that he
was successful. His conscientious
life was an example to others. He
was generous to fault, and probably
would have died in better circum-
stances if he had not been.
The dollar mark is not the stamp of
success. You may attain far greater
success than that, and leave a much
larger legacy"
