Taking the Lead. I At this aeaoon of the year a large num. 1 bcr of young men .tend upon the thresh- 1 old of life, looking out, more or lee. anx- 1 1 iouaiy, wondering what I. going to be- 1 1 them. Some ere dettlncd lo bo vie- 1 ' tors, other* to be vanqnlihed. Some will 1 command, other* will obey. Nearly ail will serve at first, but rome will command at last. Some wUl enjoy * brilliant but brief aucceai; others wlU be 1 slow to get their feel on firm ground, ' ultimately they will become important and powerful persons. It is well to know that the anxiety which torments msny good feUows st this time may Itself he a sjrmpton of weakness. On the other bend, It may be nothing of thc sort. Young Ben aa we plainly see In his autobiography, w*a not courageous at the beginning of his business career. His anxiety secma at Umes to bare been excessive, If net morbid; yet he was one of the moat jlchly endowed young rattf that ever lived, end be attained not a success merely, but a dorcn aucceasea, each memorable and precious. There is an anxiety that depresses and misleads; there la another kind of anxiety which ' Inspires and sustains, i No amount of worry can change one fundamental fact Every youth who is , about to enter active life la either a natural master or natural subordinate, and thc business of his first years of Industry is to find out which he is. Most ef us sre born to serve. We are not formed to direct, to organise, to control, to command. We have not the I audacity, nor the patient forethought, nor tbe grasp of details, nor tbe pelf-de-nial, nor tbe quiet nerves, nor the tenacity of purpose, which men must have t to found something large, honest and

g "Few of my men ever think of setting tl np in business for themselves," said an o employer tbe other day. • fl "Why not 1" r "They earn too much. They prefer * marry on fifteen doJara a week, and t! risk tbe future." o They are probably right in so doing, h since nature probably meant them for h such a lot, and they are quite es Kkely, a in that lot, lo attain a happy and peaceful existence as their more courageous t end leas sensed vc comrade who coants ] fortune in e little shop or office of his i own, and wins iter wlien his bead is i bald. What is cal'ed success Is one i thing; happiness la quite another thing; - end, really, there la very little oonnec. i don between them. Successful men all ' know this, and often In their hearts envy the men who have only attained hosor- [ able employment, health and content That ' -gift of the initiative," aa the French call it, la something very strange. Tbe JmurnaBmt told a story lately of Louis Klopach. a young man who had much lo do with originating the system at supplying the newspaperi all over the country with pictorial articles. Hit em- [ ployer, a New York printer having a large business, was losing money, and desired to sell out. "1 will buy you out," said tbe youn» man. He bought put the establishment! ' nine praises, rnquy funta of type, steam y power, good- will, everything, "on tbe 5 instalment phut," paid a certain sum every month, and never falle^ tft come to time. How are we to explain such a fact as thlsf Louis Klopach possessed the "gift of Uw initiative," and his employer •aw that he (fid. He had cottfldcace In

himself, and he inspired confidence. ' But why? Because lie really possessed I the four great qualities which a com- jj mantling position requires — courage, I knowledge, strength and patience. By ■ w natural mental endowment, he was mas- . jn tcr of the place. — Toutli'm Companion. | Clear Case of Predestination. j c! I well remember one fellow, a fine j soldier too, who scorned the burden of j oi night when he failed to steal one (which ! was seldom), lie sat up by a lire anil I v made night hideous with mock sermons ; n , of wonderful theology and doubtful j (j morality. Strange to say. he survived j , the war and is now enlisted in thc army i u of the Lord. At Vicksburg this same i v preacher was responsible for a ready re- , p tort under trying circumstances, lie , was then a firm Calvinisl, and was al. j , ways'resdy lo do battle in defence of ; t s his creed. One day he was silting, with | p a group, in an "angle of thc works dls- | cussing bis favorite dogma of predesti. nation. Just then a shell exploded [ ^ among them and knocked the predesti- | * nartan over without hutting him. When j , ' he recovered his breath and legs he , 1 darted off for the ahcltcr of a traverse jutt in._front of us. His antaganlst , " yelled and twitted him with his want ; * of faith in his own doctinc. He did not ^ puasc in the order of his going, but | stuttered back: "Ct ca-can't stop ; it's . y pre-pre-pre-dcstlncd that 1 must get on the other side of tra-traverse ! " and he * fulfilled the decree to thc letter and with 0 commendable alacrity.— [Army Sloritt £ fa I'UiaMpAia Tim,,. s An Intercept Mula. o- One of the appurtenances of the l'o'e trero Fire Department Is a mule of exid cepllonal sire and remarkable intelli-

called Paddy ltyan. He has some- e< of a history, and has always been al connected with and owned by the city ° department. Wbcn the alarm bell " rings. the mule instantly draws tbe staple J1 which secures tbe chain thrown across " stable; this releases him, and lie at " once runs to his place al the pole; then " draws another pin which permits the 11 harness to drop and calmly waits for the stoker to secure it. (| Some time sgo, when, owing to fa- . tigue. Matt Sullivan, the Captain of Hose 7, failed to awake at,.thei sound of ^ alarm, the mule 'slipped tbe chain ^ and went to'bis place, but, noticing that tbe Captain was not awake, walked to where be was tilting and, "selling hold * . of hb clothing, swoke him, I There It a cat>t the lioae house be- 1 ' tween whom and the mule a very strong ( attachment has arisen The cat, when . to disposed, goes up to tbe mule, who i : generally takes itj by tbe neck End . places It in the manger, whcncell climbs f or jumps upon tbe mule's back, where I it sleeps for hours at a lime.— San fran. , I dm CknmicU. , I • ; "Clara," he aald tenderly, "if bus!- , i nets reveries- should come to me after 1 we are married, and we should get to be very poor, would your love for me grow I" ' Never, George," replied the noble I a girl. w a "And yon could go to the kitchen, n dear, and make a loaf of bread with t those dainty Utile hands ?
