P«*ople wh«» h ive b**en bolstered up
and leveml all their lives are seldom
good for anything in a crisis. When
misfortune come* they loox a round for
something to cling to or lean upon. If
tbe prop is not there down they
go.
Once down they are as helpless as
capsized turtles, or tiuIiors«*«l tiieu in
armor, and conimt find their feet again
without assistance.
Such silken fellows no more resem
ble self-made men, who have fought
their way to position, making diffit ul-
ties their stepping stones, anil deriving
dererm ination from defeat, than vines
resemble oaks, or sputtering rtish lights
the stars of heaven. Efforts persisted
in to achievements train a man to self-
reliance. and when he~ lias proven to
the world that he can tru.-t himself,
the worl 1 will trust him.
It is unwise to deprive young men or
the advantages which result; from their
own energetic acifcn by “boostin”
them over ohsracles which they ongiit
tocurinount alone.

Advice t*> HU Wire
If young married couples would fol
low the domestic plan laid down by
Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
there would be less contention in house
holds, and perhaps, fewer divorces in
c* *111*18. He said to Ids second wile
shortly after marriage. ‘My dear’ I’m
a stubborn fellow, and you may antici
pate trouble. Now, in tlie begintiing.
while I-am submissive 1 want to give
you one piece of advice. If you fol I* »\v
it, we will get on mighty well. It is
his: Make me do as 1 darned please.”
