In Abillity to Stick to One thing
Untiil it Is Accomplished a Fa
tal Weakness oi Character.
It is a trite saying but one that
cannot well be repeated toooften,
that most of the successes acbiev
ed in life come to tbo-e who iden
tify themselves resolutely with!
one line of endeavor and follow it
patiently, day in and day out
How many a brilliant youth has
failed to accomplish the great
things expected of him because
he has never been able to stick to
one purpose! How often a man
of fine education, bright intellect,
an 1 engaging manners reach the
end of his mundane existence
without having made even a com
fortable living!
We all know the dabbler. The
dabbler is the man or woman who
is always forming magnificent j
plans without clinging to any one
of ihem long enough to carry it
to its conclusion. Owen Mere
dith has well described this fa
miliar species in verse, saying of
one of his characters that.
'Withhresolute figureheknock
ed at each one.
abided at none"
It is the quallity of patience
that is, after all, the most essen
tial to human achievment With
out this quality, all the intel
ligence and education in the world
will go for nothing so far as
practical and substantial results
are-concerned. The dabbler usu
ally 'has sense enough to know,
in a general way, that there is no
royal road to knowledge. Hecin
run the epigram off for you as
glibly as you wish, Neverthe-
ess. he acts all his life as if there
were such a road, just as many of
us do with regard to the mystery
of death. We all know that death
s certain, and yet few actually
reallize that they are going to die.
Some witty philosopher has ob
served that no human beiug re
ally believes that he will ever
pass away. Just so your dab
bler- He never imagines that he
is committing the fault that he
would be so quick to censure in
others.
The mere fact of inability to
stick to one thing until it is ac-
comolished shows an inherent
i. ,
weakness ot character that will
be fatal in any walk of life. There
are those who sneer when warn.
ed against the dissipation of their
forces in visionary schemes.
They sententiously remark that
the material things of existence
are by no means all of it, and af
fect to have a supreme con
tempt for the practical being who
look first to action and achieve
mptit.' As a rule, it will be
found that those who affect this
indifference are well provided for
by the fruit of the industry cf
others. They are generally, per
sons of fortune, whose dignified
leisure is disturbed by no appre
hpnainns with reeard to the
source of the next day's food.
We may theorize as much as
we will and we may indulge in
philosophical generalises to our
hearts' content but it remains
true that our first and gieatest
need is that ot making a living,
and the education of our children
and the development of their
character, so far as we are able to
shape them, should be always
undertaken primarily with regard
to this necessity. If our children
are to earn their bread, they must
be able to fix their attention upon
one thing and keep it the te long
enough to understand it The
man who attempts little and does
it is far superior to him who un
dertakes all sorts of great tasks
and flits from one to the other so
rapidly that he leaves them all
unfinished. Thedabbler's ability
to conceive of a multitude of
magnificent enterprises is his
curse. Though a man possesses
all tbe learning of the ages, it is
as nothing if he has not also the
quality of. steadfastness. Nor
