Gov, Brown, President of the Western Si Atlantic Railroad, is certainly “fortu- uutu," as we .heard & man remard some days since, iu effecting a combination with the Louisville >V Nashville Uuil Road and the Central Railroad, of Geor gia, by which ho will have for the W. & A. Railroad the benefit of carrying the Western through freights from Cliutta- uoogn to Atlanta. But why say lortunute? '1 his couibi* nation was not an accident—a happen so. It is a result of loug coutiuued and per sistent effort <»n the part of Ex-Governor Browu and his company. Any man may he fortunate in the same sense in which ex-Governor Brown is fortunate—any one nmy have success if they work in telligently and persistently for it. This is the reason why so many men are uu- fortuuate, viz : They set down and wait for something to happen—to take place —that will throw fortune in their way. If you would be fortunate work for it every day aud nigit. Give room by stiiring around for something to happen. Stinginess never made any man rich or happy. Industry, economy and liberality arc the springs of fortune. Touch them freely, and riches and happiness flow as 8ii rely and freely as soqnds from a well strung instrument when the keys are sprung by a skillfull musician. ♦ * * We lean from the papers, and you know how reliable they are, that from apme canse the combination above refer- ed to will not go into operation —proba bly not.
