Know tnyseu," was spoken of old at Delphi? and, tho ir:i the orace has long been nvte. the words are of eternal v iileance. No better advice was ever given to man, Philos ophy finds its highest province in the study of our own natures. Knowledge thus gained and that lone, will teach the round boy to avoid the square holes as he would shun falsehood ' and dis. honor. It has been well said that no man ever made an-ill figure who understood his own ta'onts, nor a good one who mis. took them, Most werk is uncongenial and the grea.t majority of men and women think they would be happier in some other place. To almost everyone the day of choice comes, , what career? , W ha. t shall my life's work be? If in etmctand heart ask for carpen try, be a carpenter if for mdieipe, bo, a physician. With & fe choice and earnest work; young man or woman cannot help but sueee,f d. But if there b n itistmet? or if it bo weak oy faint, gn shoulei choose cautious ly along the, line of his best adapt ibllity er opportunity. No one nee doubt that the world has use f of him, but great honor-. and fortune are not for all. True Success lies in acting well your part and this everyone can do, petter be a firgt rate hod-carrier than a second rate anything, One hour a day withdrawn from frivolous nursuits and rro "wwy employee, WQUia enaqie man of ordinary capacity to master a complete science One hour a da would mako an igner nt -nan a well informed man in t3 j years, One hour a day would earn enough to pay for two daily and two weekly papers, two leadi ng ma?ines and a, ' de ? i books.

Uow many young men become poor Clergymen by trying to imitate their fathers, who were good ones? or poor doctors and lawyers for c the ..: same reason. - The country is full of men who are out of pi ace V "disappointed', soured, ruined, out of office, out of money, out of courage," out at elbows, out in the cold, M The fact is, nearly every college grad uate who succeeds in the true sense of the word, prepares him. self in school, but makes himself after he Is graduated. The best thing his teachers have taught himl is how to Study. The mo ment: he is beyond the college walls he ceases to use books and helps which do not feed him and S3izes upon those that do. The world has been very kind to many who were once known as dunces or blockheads, after they have become very successful; but it was very cross to them while they were struggling through dis. Cpuragement and misinterpreta tion. : Such lives do not show, however that a numskull is sure to climb to the top. Because tho last boy in his class became .the great Henry Ward Beecher, there is no reason to conclude that the tast Doy m tne next elm or the next, m list -b ecome anything great at all, There must be some HfQ in the boy, or he will not rise under any circumstances until the day appointed -for the resurrection of the dead, If he starts out in life as a failure, he will end as one -unless he-'gets thoroughly wakened up in some way, Give every bby o r girl a fair chance and reasonable en couragement and do not condemn them even because of a large de gree of downright stupidity; for many so-called good fornothing bpy sy blockheads, numskulls; dullards, or dunces, were only boys out of their places round boys forced, into square holes. TWO CLASSES. In a spirit of contentment the human race can be divided into two classes, those who scold and those who get scolded. - None of us are contented with our lot. The carpenter wants to be any.- thing but a carpenter and the mason anything but a mason and the banker anything but- a banker and everybody would-be happy if he were only something else. The violet wants to b e a sun-flower and the apple orchards throw down their blossoms be cause they are-not tall cedars and parents have the worse children that ever were and everybody has the greatest misfortune and everything is upside down, or I going to be.
