SUCCESSFUL MEN. Who *re theyf_Th«y'are those men who, when boys, were compelled to work, either to help themselves or their pareuts, and who, when a little older, were under the stern necessity of doing more than their legitimate ^share of labor; who as young men, had their Wits sharpened by having to devise Ways and means ot making their time more available than it would be tinder ordinary circumstances. Hence, in reading the lives' of eminent men who hkve greatly distinguished themselves, we find their youth spent in selfdenials of food, sleep, rest and recreation. They sat up late, rose early to the per­ formance of imperative duties, doing by daylight the work of one man and by night that of another. Said a bank­ er of high integrity, the other day, and who started in life without a shilling. "For years I was in my place of bu dness at sunrise, and often did not leave it for fifteen or eighteen hours." Let not then any-youth be discouraged if he has to make his own living, Or evfen to support a widowed mother or unfortunate relative; for this has been the road to eminence of many a proud name. This is the path which men have often trod--thorny enough at times, at others so beset with-obstacles as to be almost impassable; but the way was cleared,sunshine came, success followed--then the glory and renown.
