Hard Work Will Tell.

One often envies greatness, overlooking the hardships and struggles passed through before the place of honor has been attained. When we read of the lives of distinguished men in any department, we find them almost always where they are through nard work. We hear constantly of the great amount of labor they could perform. Demosthenes, Julius Caesar, Henry IV. of France, Sir Isaac Newton, Washington. Napoleon, and many others, different as they were in their intellectual and,moral qualities, wore all renowned as hard workers. We read how many days they could support the fatigues of a march; how early they rose; how many hours they speut in the field, the cabinet, in the courtin short, how hard they worked.—Harper’s Round Table.
