Walk As If You Were Somebody.

Never allow your physical standard to dTop. Keep up your courage; walk as if you were somebody were -going to do something worth, while in the world, so that even a stranger will note your bearing and mark your superiority. If you have fallen into a habit of walking in a listless, indolent way, turn right rbout at onca, and make a change. You don’t want to shuffle along like “ailuves we often see sitting around n park benches, or lolling about the treets, with the.r hands in their ockeis, or haunting intelligence ofices, and wond* 1 •ng why fate has been so hard with them. You don’t -ant to give p- j'e the impression hat. you are discouraged, or that you ire already i lling to the re r. Itraigliten up. t on! Stand erect! Te a man! You are a child of the •>S’ !'(*’•?. '‘ 'it have nyal bio'd in your veins. Emphasize it by your jeJnng. A man who is consetc ;s )f his kinship with God, and of i Ispower, and who believes thoroughly in himself,- with firm, vigorous step, with his head erect, his :hin- in. his sho liters thrown back ind down, and hi 3 chest well proje ;t----od in order to give a large lung capacity; he is the man who does thin.'s.. You cannot aspire, or accompli .li great or noble things so long as y .u issume the attitude and bearing of a coward or weakling. If you would ye noble and do noble things, you must look up. You were made to look upward to walk upright,. not to lo >k down or to shamble along in a senihorizontal position. Put character, dignity, nobility into your walk.—Success.
