No mntter how much or how llttlo
talent a man may have, the first requi
site to his succor lu llfu Is tho choice
of a calling. Tliuro Is no way of nictir
talulng how ninny men out of 1,000
miss their calling, but apparently tho
world Is almost full of simaro men lu
round holes and a largo proportion of
tho manhood of the rnco Is misdirected
and prnctlcnlly thrown away. The rea
son of this Is that there Is nothing moro
dlfllcutt for n young man or for his
parents find friends to do than to telli
what ho Is made for and wli.it ho should
dovoto his llfo to. Tako tho young man
himself first, and ho has two obstacles
to deal with. In tho first place, his best
talent may bo slowest of nil his pow
ers to develop. Some parts of his body
grow fnster thnn other pnrts find It Is
so with his mental faculties. Most fre
quently his mnstcr passion will show
Itself from Infancy, but In many cases
hu reaches manhood before he develops
the gifts or traits which mnrk out his
llfo work. In tho second place, self
knowledge Is tho Inst fnculty thnt nny
human being develops. During child
hood and early mnuhood, when ho needs
holf-knowlodgo to determine what oc
cupation to follow, ho knows absolute
ly nothing about himself. Indeed, n
man Is fortunate If by the tlmo lie Is
gray headed ho understands his strong
and his weak points and Knows what
ho can do and what ho can not do. Of
course, theso two considerations malu
It dllllcult also for a young man'H par
ents to advlso mid direct 1 1 1 id. They
hnvo seen his tastes and Inclinations
change suveral times already ami they
do not know but they may chnngo sev
eral times more. Sometimes n youth's
Instincts will lead him nrlght and mis
lead thoso who linvo tho control of him.
It Is related of a famous painter that
his choice led him lu boyhood to obtain
employment lu an artist's studio and
that tho artist, after watching him a
while, advised him to limit his munition
to grinding tho colors. This accounts
for the largo number of eminently suc
cessful niMi who start wrong niuf
change from ono calling to another be
fore they achieve success. Some great
men have, Indeed, lu this way acquired
a reputation for Instability and gen
eral worthlessness before they struck
the gait that mndo them famous. This.
makes It an exceedingly perplexing
problem for n young man to determine
what ho will do nud tho perplexity Is
tenfold greater now thnn It wna fifty
years ago. Thero were hundreds of
years before that tlmo during which tho
leading trades and professions were stn
bio and almost stationary, but within
ono or two generations, owing to the
ravages of Inventions and labor-Hnvliig
machinery, they have all either disap
peared or been transformed. Thero Is
scarcely a business that a young man
can tako up to-day which may not be
come obsolete lu a few years. In fact,
the only thing thnt Is permnnent Is
knowledge. Tho time will never como
when It will not help a man In the race
of llfo to bo ncqunltitcd with mathe
matics, physics, history, tocography.
physlology.chenilfitry and manual train
lug. Unless ho knows something of
theso sciences ho may lie unable to dls
cover what he Is niado for or to do It
after ho discovers It. Iteyoud this
such Is tho present condition of the
nrts, manufactures, science and poll
tics a young mnn Is literally compelled
to he nu opportunist. That Is, ho must
do what ho ran until ho can do soma
thing different nud better. If lie Is In
