Bv Kara Ivai'u. Z1;?? l,ko?1 Kf,M j w will wur tte. ceta," ilk. Marvel. There is the secret of success : it Is thn grapple that brings success to vour undertaking. Most people think it chance, or luck, as they call it. They point out as examples portions who have risen to places of honor and trust in Mir claim that they have had good luck, and nai uiose who Have failed have had bad luck, say that the goddess luck has treated some with disrnnoi!f. ami thrown all her honor in to the of the scale, and left the other cmptv. Now tbis is all wrong; it may be tnia mat. in our uarKer Hours, in our desponding moods, we think so. but it i not; if any one so inclined will study the life of the groat men orthe world, he will toon lind that their only attained by a hard st grappled for it; some attained it more easily than others, some did not attain If at all ; but those who did not grapple for it, only sunk tho lower iuto the depths ol degradation buccess! What is it? Is it chanm or good fortune, as most people think or is it a combination of both, with great deal of hard work thrown in? Let us look for one moment at the vast amount of uudcrhaud wirc-nullhi" wir-l ried on every day by mammon worship ers to gain an upper hand. Many are the ways taken to gain sue- : in me, ami oiiuu up a name for tucmscivoe in the world ; soma sharpen iiieir whs Han neai m iiumor and wir cHsm ; uicy umrsi tneir weapons iuto everyining, ma oy mat means bring ineiuseive imo note, uthcrs think to urni themselves honor and fame, to win success, ana mace tneir names ..r. - t . i among the great, by finding fault, criti rising, and tearing down and degrading ..n !i't i ... . . r? arunuur u jiussiuiu, uul SO0U nilU that their projects are a failure, and then they sink away and bemoan the crueltv of the world ; others embark in financial business and hope to win success in that way ; and very often they do. but it is lamentable fact that many fail; why j a t . .. nicy ihii uiey Know uest themselves. auer an is over, aim it is too late, too ... - . late ; but the most of the causes are be cause they thought there was a roval road, and let their business take care of itself almost, and when tho race was over, found to their cost that they were left iiirougn tneir own fault; others have embarked in the same line, paid strict attention to business, watched the markets, put their wares on the public when it paid them best, withdrew them when prices were low, and so on throufrh many years, and at last reached the goal they long had sought. In this latter class may lie placed Vanderbilt, Stew---iHri HI1U me Asiors oi mis couiitrv, and . 4 1 11 . . . . the Iiothschilds, of Europe. ror otlicrs tins niouc is too slow, and they embark in speculations; seek their fortnues iu the rise of stocks, and on the gaming table; they play with all the vim of desperate men, which in truth they are; the cltance of lasting success in this line is very uncertain, and is seldom attained at all, though some men have attained success this way and kept it. Iu this Istter class place Jim Fisk, who placed his first thousand dollars that he had in ;the world on tho exchange, and in les than a week lout every cent; that was the success he hid in his flrstcnterprise; a great many would then have quit the business altogether, and the world would never have found them investing another dollar in stocks, and they would never have attained success. The first failure of risk onlv made him the more determined to succeed: and he did, and at length came out victorious as the champion of the money markets ; others are continually changing from one busi ness to another and they never amount to anything: others seek to ascend the hill and keep some one down at the same time, and find to their cost that they never get up themselves.

Jan. 25, J7C. Akra-na-Pooue. A Few Precepts from Confucius. " Be severo to yourself and indulgent to others; you thus avoid all resent ment." "The wiso man makes equity and justice tho basin of his conduct; the right forms the rule of his behavior: deference and modesty mark his extort or: sincerity and fidelity serve him for accomplishment. 14 Love virtue and the people will be virtuous; the virtue of a great man is like tho wind ; the virtue of tho humble is like, the grass : when the wind passes over it the grass inclines itR head." Children should practice filial pietv at home, and paternal deteience abroad ; they should be attentive in their actions. sincere and true in their words, loving all with the whole force of their af fection." "Return couitv and justice for evil done to you, and pay goodness by goodness." i "Without the virtue of humility, onoi can neither lie honet in poverty nor contented in abundance.'' Real virtue cnjieists in integrity of of heart and loving your neighbor as yourself. " "What I desire that others should not do for me, I equally desire not to do to them."

She will be able to conduct future operations on her own capital ; when you become an inebriate unable to support yonrself. shunned and despised hv all respectable persons, your wife will have money enough to keep you until you get ready to fill a drunkard's grave. Cremation Abroad. Cremation, which does not flourish in America, is making progress over the water. The furnace at Milan consumed 27 corpses, the cost ot burning being but 19 cents in eacfi case. In some parts ofi uerraany tne l'ro test ant Church has prescribed a ritual for cremation. Holland has a strong society. London is erecting a furnace.

of the Indianapolis Sentinel, is writing for that namr okctclm of the members oflof the Indiana legislature, and, among others, gives the following in reference to the Senator from this District: Senator W. A. Travlor was horn in Pike county, Indiana. Februarv 5th. 1843. His father is fil! living; his mother is dead. "While voting in vearfS ho gave himself to books and stud v. pushing his way as best he could in this way in thought and knowledge, and early in his manhood he entered upon the honorable work a teacher, which occupation he continued until he had Ispent seven years in the service.
