He is not lo6king for positions; positions are looking for . him. He does not complain, he acts. He accomplishes results, and these ac complished results speak more loudly in his favor than acres of subsidized news papers, What the world wants, what the world rewards, is the man who docs things. Discouragements and failures are meaning less nothings to him; results are the. sub stantial things for which he strives and attains. There is a settled air of assured success in his manners and movements. There i3 no trouble in selecting him from a crowd. He can be picked out just as unerringly as his opposite, who abides with discouragement and failure, and they leave a more attractive imprint on the countenance. Men who can do things in industrial, commercial and financial life are as scarce as their opposites are plentiful. Opportunities are uot scarce; they are plentiful, more plentiful than ever since history was written. They await the poor boy who does things without looking at ihe clock. People who are always looking at the clock never amount to much in any thing. Men who do things never consult the time to see if they can stop; they know time "was made for slaves," not for virile men who enthusiastically do things. Em ployes who frequently consult the clock will always be employes with no hope of rising. The man who does things may in his absorption forget his meals or his bed, but his opposite will be ever ready ahead of time for both or either. Ex. WRITE TWO-THIRDS OF THE WORLD'S LETTERS. People who speak English write two thirds of the letters of the world, says Bran1 street's. There are substantially 500, 000,000 persons speaking colloquially one or the other of the ten or twelve chief mod ern languages, and of these about 25 per cent, or 125 000,000 persons, speak English, About 90,000.000 peak Russian. 75,000,000 German, 55 ,000,000 French, 45.000,000 Span ish, 35,000,000 Italian and J 2,000,000, Portuguese, and the balance, Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Flemish, Bohemian, Gaelic. Roumanian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Norwegian. Thus, while only one-quarter of those who employ the facilities of the postaldepartmentsof civilized government? speak as their native tongue English two thirds of those who correspond do so in the English language. There are, for instance, more than 2Q 000 pnstofflces in India, the business of which, in letters and papers, aggregates more than 300,000,000 a year, and the business of these offices is done chiefly in English, though of India's toffd population, which is nearly 300,000,000, fewer than 300,000 either speak or under stand English.
