He gpe■ through Xhe world
with ad definite object of pursuit in
▼tew, wafted loosely and carelessly
on the iftcsm of life, “ready to re
ceive just any direction that the cur
rent of popularity may chance to give
bias,” is like a ship without a rudder
liable'to be tossed upon life’s main by
every gale that blows. He mokes
himself a mere passive recipient—
and having nofhisg in particular to
advocate, he stands ready to endorse
nny enterprise or opinion which may
suit his fancy, or be tai keeping with
the tide of popularity. Having no
thing special in view, he h always
wafting at the corners of life for
something to tarn np. He never
does mach, bnt prodigiously wants to
do something, he knows not what,
let he is strongly impressed with his
own competency to do what others
can. So he dabbles into various
^things. And thus with experiment
ing and aping the actions of others
waiting for some fortuitous circum
stance to show him his calling, life
passes, and nothing is done. Now,
the first thing for every individual to
do, on setting out in life, is to mar
shal all his powers before him, and to
subject them to a rigid examination
and comparison, to ascertain, if pos
sible, the exact measure of his
a'rength, and thereby, the pursuit in
which he could succeed for his own
weal and that of society. Having as
certained this, be has found his call-
ing. He then has an aim, a good
life, for the attainment of which he
makes everything else subservient. And
the ultimatum is a successful and glo-
rious conquest, and a splendid and ever-
lasting reward. - Greensboro’ Patriot•

H«w Poor Bop Reach The Top
Round.
There are 17,919 names who pay
an income tax in New York city.
Sixty.seven persons who pay tax on
incomes of $100,000 or over. Most of
these solid gentlemen are self-made
men, who have come up from the
lower rcAwd of the ladder. The tnan
who leads the list, A. T. Stewart
every body knows- is an Irish emi’
grant who commenced Lfe with a
capital of less than twenty-five cents.
Indeed, with a few exceptions, most
of the parties on the list were scarce
as well off as Mr. Stewart. Take
Henry Keep; he boasts that he graduat
ed from the Poor-house ofj.-fferson
county. Jay Gound drove a herd of
cattle from Delhi, Delaware county,
when a lad, for fifty cents a dav, i'n
order to get money enough to rlhch the
Hudson river. David Groesbeck, over
thirty years ago, used to mend old shoes
for his brother, who was a respectable
shoemaker in Albany. We all know
