'Attest J. H. WAvrbK.'-ClOtjtf . , Look Ahead. ' Young man, if you will carefully peruse the following article, copied from the Portland TrU. bune, you will perceive why so many business men fail of success in the prosecution of their undertakings. '-'The reason why so many.ypung men fail in b.u.siriess, arid burden themselves wiih debt in the onset of life, is neglecting to look ahead. How many enter into speculations, ;or make a purchase of goods without thinking on, or car ing for the consequences. We have frequent ly marked the course pursued by many worthy young men, now embarrassed and without cred it, wlipj in hot reflecting on their course and not looking lo the consequences, thaveembark ed in a business with which-they were totally unacquainted, and seemingly prosperous for a time, but eventually failed, and lost the confi dence ,of their creditors, without a possibility of ever being free from debt. UA man wilh a small capital will commence business for himself; and without looking ahad to the day when his notes become duej live ex travagantly, and spend a large amount in horse hire, and on parties of pleasure; and the first intimation he has, that his credit is lost, is the authoritative voice of the sheriff at his counter? who has commenced taking an inventory 'of hi3 goods. Hundreds of like cases are yearly oc curring, which should teach young men an im portant lesson ; lo look ahead; to make small purchases ; to slick closely to their business, and to live within their means. By one; mis calculation ; one error in judgment ; one breach of confidence, a youth may be ruined, and nev er again have the privilege of conducting bu siness in his own name. . "Look around you, and tell us who are our most prosperous merchants and mechanics 1 They are those who are prudent and attentive to business ; who have entered into no specu lations without forethought and iavestigation of those; who invariably look ahead, when any project is presented for their countenance '-and support. There, is no one case in fifty where a young man fails in business, which cannot be traced to his neglect to look ahead when urged to make large purchases, or solicited to enter into speculations. Young men Jearn wisdom. Never nerer lift a finger lo act, without look ing lo the consequences, without . asking your self if you can consistently, with yoUr cred it and your, obligations to others, dpi thus and so. Thenour :wpfd for it, you will succeed; it cannot be otherwise. Your creditors seeing the judicious management of your affairs, and your attention to business; "will be a thousand, times more ready to lend you assistance, and if not perfectly convenient, will often favor you in the payment of their demands. Remember, then, the secret of success; and in every un dertaking have the consequence and the end in view. Tlie Way of Success. True hope is on energy of character. A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope, because it knows the mu'tability;of hu man afiiairs, and how slight a circumstance may change .the whole course of events Such a spirit, iioo, rests upon itself. It is not confin ed to partial views, or to the one particular ob ject; and if at last it should be lost, it has saved itself its own integrity and worth. Hope awakens courage, while despondency is the last of all evils; it is the abandonment of good-the giving up of the battle of life with dead, nothingness. .)He who can implant courage fh the Jiumarf soul, is ils best physician. To seek lo govern men by their fears and their wants is an unworthy purpose. The' de; sire to rule by means of cowardice is itself, cowardice. Love inspires courage and hBpe, and thus is doubly the giver and presenter of life. Whatever teaehes .Us boldly to combat tfoa manifold doubts and assaults of life, enables us to win the crown of victoy- Special cajra, ounht thoretore to be taken in education to teach what true courage isas well in social .and dor mestic, as in public afhairs and by wlat means it may bo best sustained. - ' ; , i .
