onco thought of tho chango whljh was
In storo for me. In tho hopo that I
should ono day make my mark In the
world, I was sent to college; but there I
wasted my timo In idio dreaming and
expensive amusements, If I had been
a poor boy, with necesslly staring me
in tlie face, 1 think I should havo done
better. Uut somehow I fell into tho no
tlon that life was to bo ono continued
holiday. I gradually becamo fond of
wiuo anu company. In a few years
my parents both died; and you can guess
tlio rest. I soon wasted what little
they left me; aud now it is too late to
combat my old habits. Yes, sir, Idle
ness ruined me,"

Never "kill time" bors. Ho Is your

If they ire lltllo ones, life will bo a
pleasure, and abovo all a success
mean a truo success. You may not grow
rich, but your life will be a real success
nevertheless.
If, on the contrary, you waste vour
early years, live for fun only, trllie
wiin your opportunities, you will find
after a while that your life Is a falluro
yes, . even if you should be as rich as
OlW-iUS.
One nf tho sadest tlilmrs Is to meet
man who has let goldeu opportunities go
by him Just entering tlie battle of life
yet entirely unfitted for his position. Ho
is to do untied, and yet blamed. In this
favored land every one can learn to read
and write, for Instance. Uut how ot

assured, young friends, it will bo

may bo read with much profit by every
class of our community;
Ono of the coniequenoo? of the con
dition of business for tho last year or
moro has beci tho enforcement of eco
nomy; and another has been the reall
zatlon ot the fact that the largo profits
which have been hitherto drawn from
trade are no longer to bo relied upon
with certainty. The two consequences
taken together will balance each others
and though tho scales vibratos with Jer
ky and uncomfortable hitches, thlngi
will eventually find their level. Less
profits In business allow less margin for
expenditure. Less demand for money
for luxury and for tho mere expense ot
living should result eventually In con
tent with smaller profits. The publio
estimate of dollars and cents has been
enlltely on too princely a scale for
some time, .dnd slowly, painfully, but
surely, "contraction" In unnecessary
or useless expenses has been taking
place In all quarters.

raised scale of wages created a fever, In
the lelapse of which all Industrial pur
suits are suffering. Over-production
and over-Importation, and free scatter
ing of money by almost every one,
wliile they had it, elevated the popular
estimate of tlie proper nitoof living ex
peuses far abovo any safo calculation.
Much ot the embarrassment of which
complaint has been made, and of which
complaint Is still made though tho mur

Is not to say that there has been no
embarrassment, iut tho truth Is, that
with tho fever over, people complain ot
the abated pulse. Aud It seems to have
been furgotten that tho conditions of
