We use the word “grit" because it so fully expresses the idea that we have in mind; namely, an un yielding and unconquering spirit that takes firm hold of those things most difficult to perform, and in the face of the greatest odds works on .and on till success is achieved. This spirit is necessary to all who would attain to anything worth while, and especially to those who, by reason of untoward conditions, are obliged to fight life’s battles single-handed and alone. The following story illustrates our point: Over in Scotland there once lived a stout, tall, busy youth who was known among his neighbors as the “grit bare-legged laddie.’’ One day he called upon the village schoolmaster and said. “1 wish to attend your evening school.” “And what would you wish to study if you came?” “I want to learn to road and to write.” The master looked into the lad's fare, shrugged his shoulders in a knowing way, and said. " Very well, you may eotnu." The lad eould not see into the future, nor had he any dreams of greatness. He had only a great desire to know, lie was eighteen years old then, and eould neither read nor write: hut before* he died he wrote his name among the great and honored men of the earth. He was George Stephenson, and be came the great railroad engineer.— Exchange.
