WORKER MUST LOVE VOCATION.
First Requisite for the Attainment Of
Success In Any Line.

A prime qualification for success In
any art, trade or profession is the
love Of it, though love alone will by ne
means bring success in 1t. The love
must be reciprocal; that is, the voca-
ton must desire Its follower, for rea-
sons which must remain as much
mystery to him as to any Of his wit
nesses. "She was Noteworthy says
Heine. in treating Of more passionai
case, and he loved her; but he was
not Noteworthy, and she loved him
not" The fond youth, univerSity-bred
or self-made, may have ever 80 great
= desire for journalism, but Journal
ism will have no desire for him, uA-
less he has the peculiar charm for II
which commands affection IN all cases.
He can only prove the fact By trying
and by longing to try with longing
that excludes the hope Of every other
reward beside the favor Of the art he
wishes to sspouse Riches, fame
power may be in the event, but they
are not to be in the quest. The wish
to succeed in II for It's own sake must
be his FIRST motive, and the sense q
success in It must be left to add them

So far as be strives for them, they wiz
