All that some creatures ever do is just to hold on, as, for example, bar- nacles, limpets, oysters, and bivalves in general. In this way they fulfill their vocation, which is all that could relinquished it into other hands, and lose all they have ever made as the re- sult. Lawyers sometimes hold on to their clients too long,—never letti them drop tisl they have sucked at the blood out of them. Physiciansmay hold on to their patients too long, until they die of the remedy. Some good clergymen hold to their parish- es too long, instead of retiring grace- fully in dueseason, until at last they 1 When we say of a person, "The man 'means well," the words are usually followed by a "but," indicating that a qualifying phrase is to follow.— Among our friends and acquaintan ces w e all know some "well-meaning people," whose presence always fills us with apprehension.

Not a very creditable quali- ty, either in a brute or a man. Some persons hold on to their po sition from the pride of consistency. They are fond of saying, “I never change my mind;" when it is very possible they have not much mind to change. Facts, arguments, demon strations, entreaty, are all thrown away upon such men. There are those who hold on to their money, not for any good it does to them, or anybody else, but merely because it is money, and belongs to them. They like to see the pile accu- mulate, and the only idea they have of the value of a dollar is based upon the possibility of its producing all- other dollar.
