Succesw In (.lie.
A shrewd, intelligent man of the world—and
one, too, who had been entirely successful; for
from a small beginning, be had risen to the
highest place in the department to which he
had been attached, and made the fortune of his
whole family, brothers, sons, ami nephews, us
well as his own, once said to me, “The longer
I live the more I am convinced that over-sen
sitiveness is a great mistake in a public man.”
l~ .— i.i ..ii ....... -i,- Jo.:..,.
succeed in life. Now, I wish tube understood
that what is here expressed by the word over
sensitiveness, does not signify over-scrupu
lousness. Be as scrupulous as you will, but
do not be over-sensitive on the scon- of pride,
or vanity, or dominant egotism. Every suc
cessful man, you may be sure, has hail much
to mortify him in the course of his career. He
has borne many rebuffs; he has sustained
many failures. What if men do not under
stand you, are not inclined to encourage, ami
exercise the privilege of age, or superior posi
tion—bear with it all. Juvenis, your time will
come; you may take your cliancc out of the
world when you are a little older. Bah! how
does it hurt you ? “Hard words break no
bones,” saith the proverb. Aud they break no
spirit that is not the feeblest. The world may
laugh at your failures—what then? Try
again, and perlia|» they will not laugh. Try
once more, and perhaps it will be your turn to
laugh, “lie who wins may laugh,” saith
another proverb. If you have the right stuff
in you you will not be put down. If we have
the right stuff in us, these failures ai the out
set are graud materials of success. To the
feeble they are, of course, stumbling blocks.
Tile wretched weakling (joes no further; he
lags behind, and subsides into a life of failure.
And so by this great winnowing process, the
number of athletes in the great Olympic of life
is restricted to a few, and there is clear space
in the arena. There is scarcely an old man
amongst us—an old and successful man—who
will not willingly admit that he was made by
his failures, and that what he once thought his
hard fate was, in reality, his good fortune.—
And thou, my bright-witted child, who think
est that thou canst carry Parnassus by storm,
learn to possess tity soul in patience. If suc
cess were to crown thy efforts now, where
would be thy great success hereafter? “It is
the brave resolution to "do better next time,”
that lays the substrata of real greatness.—
Many a promising reputation has been de
stroyed by early success. The good sap runs
out from the trunk into feeble offshoots of
suckers. The hard discipline of the knife is
wanted. I repeat that it is not pleasant: but
when thou feelest the sharpness of the edge,
think that all who have come before thee have
been lacerated in like manner.
John Knox and nis Conjugal Rela
tions.—John Knox wdto fancied himself a
very independent personage, and of whom it
is traditionally reported that he never trem
bled before the face of man, made, somewhat
late in life, the discovery that the face of wo
man,Jaffer she has been put in full possession ol
conjugal rights, is something more than terri
ble. The austere reformer who fulminated his
anathema against the “Monstrous Regiment of
Women,” and who showed himself, to use the
mildest possible term, the reverse of polite in
his demeanor toward his annointed queen,was
tempted in his old age to wiki a young damsel,
and conducted her to his home in the Canon
gate of Edinburgh with such grim rejoicings
as w'ere then deemed admissible, and not sav
oriug of idolatry on t he occasion of a Caledo
nian marriage. But John soon discovered
that, in departing from the precepts of Saint
lu.nl u-lin hnil tilth- likinc for in.-itriinnnv- I,a
had made a serious blunder. She of the house
of Ochiltree could not forget that the renown
ed preacher was originally a vassal of tlie
Hepburns; and, being a lady of extraordinary
energy and no small amount of self-will, she
fairly succeeded in establishing within that
queer little mansion, the bay-window whereof
is stHl regarded as a curiosity, that very same
monstrous female rule against which her
spouse had, in earlier years, most vehemently
protested.
Yet, on the whole, though somewhat addict
ed to gew-guws and fal-lals, we doubt not she
made an excellent wife to the veteran lie
former, and perhaps improved the tone of his
manners ami conversation by teaching him the
practical lesson that somew here or other, there
always does exist a power to which the most
wilful and iui|icrious must submit. Therefore,
all these instances considered, we heartily join
in the cry of “P/arn aut Jhtmr* /” It is not a
men; empty courtesy that allows them to take
the precedence. They go before their hus
bands because they are the natural leaders:
and when domestic strife arises, it is usually
the male and not the female who is the party
chargablc with rebellion.
• * • Upoll (he whole, let us admire and
assent to that exquisite provision of nature,
which, without unduly favoring either sex,
gives the predominance to the stronger intel
lect and w ill; and let those who are conscious
of being henpecked lay this flattering unction
to their souls, that they are no worse off than
Marlborongh and Marshal Ney, and reconcile
themselves to their fate accordingly.—| Black

Novei. Law-suit.—in June last two law
yers of Kingston, Mr. G. and Mr. P., agreed
to come to Toronto in order to attend the din
ner then given to Chief Justice Sir J. B. llole
inson. In accordance with this mutual under
standing Mr. G. took the steamer at Kingston
the day before the dinner, expecting to find ids
friend on board. But Mr. P. was not there
nor was he in Toronto when the other arrived.
Mr. G. felt angered ami aggrieved at Mr. I*,
for disappointing him, and rushed to the tele
graph office in this city and sent the following
message to the absentee:—“You are a humbug,
a delusion and a snare. Never believe you
any more. Pay for this telegram, and lje
thankful it is no worse.” Mr. P. paid for the
message, but entered an action in the division
court to recover the amount of it. The de
fendant was called as a witness and admitted
that he sent the message unpaid. lie submit
ted* however, that the allegations contained
in it were true, that he was justified in making
them, and that if in so doing the plaintiff did
any act which he w'as not obliged to do, such
as paying for the telegram, he could not be
held responsible. The judge thought the de
fence set up was no justification aud gave
judgment for the plaintiff for 50 cents, the
doleful countenance of the defendant indica
ting that he considered himself an ill-used in
dividual. [Toronto Leader.

No lire wood will be conveyed bet ween October 1st.

An advance in the rates of fire wood will take place

arrangement for conducting the wood business, which
are about to be made, the Company will not be able
to take tire wood from certain place* on the line, so
that should any parties make contracts for tire wood
to be carried on the railway during the next season,
they must understand that they wilido so at their own
risk, aud that the Company will not feel themselves
bound to carry it.
Due notice will be given of the rate* of freight, and
