' The great aim of life ia to 'succeed. The spirit of emulation in man makes him shrink from the idea of failure, while the satisfaction anticipated from success Bpurs him on to greater efforts. .From the fact that nothing is so sue cessful as success, that is, that nothing is so taking to the popular mind as to see one succeed, the beut of human in clination is to succcd,, even though it be l (at the expense of merit The prounip tfea is that, if a man succeed, he ia meritorious, and, ignoring all attendant circumstances, this; judgment is cor rect. r But take a case. A , physician 'of the body is engaged to a young lady who ivraa afterwards intimate wttria pnygict an of souls.- In the exchange ot cour iesies, the minister has occusiou to wriie to the young lady, and the doctor takes offence at the' letter, and writes an in sulting reply, which induces the minis ter to contend for the hand of the lady, and, either, owimj s to the wakn-s of the fairsex; and thir. respect tor tle cloth, or because he is the better man. he wins. Of course the doctor's heart did not break, for such is not a charac teristic of the profession. ' Now. grant ing lhat the dominie did succeed, was he not devoid of all honor and merit in the case? Or, to put the case differ ently, is not he who decoys another man's intended, even though h" wins, just as heartless a creature as he who entices another man's wife f This, much is, however, clear, that merit and success are different things. There may be success and no merit: as there may be a great deal of merit with success; while, on the other hand, there ma; Le great merit and on auccega at all The distinction between success rand merit is a thing that is too often lost eight of in the battle of life,' and , especially so in reference to the young and inexperienced. The grounds of success may be nothing but the banest ! of means, accompanied with a good 'amount of tact, or, perhaps, the merest accident, while the groiods of merit must be in themselves valuable, as. for 'example, 'when one man, by roguery, succeeda in . business, and an honest dealer falls. Jf - : r.H For all practical purposes, men may be classed under three heads. First, ihe aimless, which constitutes that , fjreat crowd of beings .which i con ten r to live on what they can get frum day to day, or what fortune or good luck jsay eend them. : It is made up of both rich and poor, high and low. They arc ,: creatures good, a and creatures, bad, ffhich, like the knots and the bugs, live Ctxt their days by doing a certain quan iify of 4 knawing ' and humminir, and fhen die, and the world never known hat: theo-hav lived. These people succeed in only one "thing, that is, in "reachlogthe end of their days, -andas St is the only thing undertaken by thera, they : deserve, the gratitude of the rommuiiity, at least, for this. '.; Another class of men are those who hit iimslbut, who are impatient, and want tact. These men- plan well, but : fail ; In execntiorf f If they sometimes "had Datieace to waitbrif they possess ed tact to adapt when a portion of their eohsrae goe3 '-wrong, thej Jnight yet at tain f ."wmq .measaro of success. " Being impatient; they are afflicted with an at . tendant evil, that of being over san r feline. -Their p'ahs are always made up largely pf bright hopes, and when they 7 i!od hqw?n nth more diScqlt it is to ' realize than to anticipate great thinas, .'they lose faith in their otfn schemes. x tad, abandon one that is half tried, for 'LZdhzT that is no better in itself, but charms merely because it is new and UDineu. iiua muss in men auuuuipiiBii most in connection with others. They have talents for organizing, and are use ful as employees, or as silent partners, or stockholders in companies where they can work under a supervising head that has executive ability. These good, generous people never can see that Montesquieu's maxim, 4 Success, in most thing depends upon knowing how long it takes to succed," applies to them ioditdually. As sure , as lliey meet with&otue'measure F success, they become so elated that they at once des troy it.j Just as sn re as one of these exuberant fellows makes one hundred dollars, he will feel so ric.t that he will spend twice the sum The third class are the men of purpose and tact, jhoe who plan well, and exe cute weil. They are the successful men of the world, and Constitute the pith and stamina of society. They are the bottom stock of the social compact. They are a cautious, ' slow, but sure race -They are the men who know tht they seldom lose anything valuable by taking time for i on.deratioo. and that j of'teu, much is lost through haste. They know how to wait for success, and. while, waiting, they buttle to succeed. When once they reach success, people wonder, and well they may, for but few know the trials thse deserving men undergo. Let such us think it only fuu to be meritorious and succe-sful at the same time read the history of inventing the sewing-ma hine, the history of In diarutiber manufacture, or the Life of Horace G'eeley' the) will seek for no tetter proofs to dispel the illusion. Success, now, in the true am highest s-nse, is a success th it combines tneri just in proiOrtiou to the measure of success It can he uttaiued on through careful and prolonged efforts, at the same time tl e purpose being giod and the means ittpl yed legitimate. The world i so dazzled with n show of suc cess in nvery department of life, tha5 young people have little or no patieuce to wait before they win Sham and show receive so inoch, applause, that there seems to be danger 'est humbug lurn out to be the most deserving of fovor. The central. idea of American ediic iiion is success at any cost, and by almost any means that will escape the clu'ch of civil law. The general im pression is, that there can,, be . no such thing as success in businesfr if tt be done f-iirly and honestly Success serves as a cloak to cover all sorts of evil schemes. He who succeeds is fure to reeeive the congratulation of hi. Iriends, even though it be with a twinkle of the -eye that speaks what the tongue dare not utter. Steady. honest, old fashioned integrity is so rare and at pucha discount, that young men entering busiuess are swept away at once dy tne current oi rceognizea trickery nd deception A man's word i h oked upon as a thin to bt kftj-jjuat so f ir s it is convenient to do so. Puntuality. the only real point in an agreement, is the lu.-t thing thought of. To be ready with an excue is the highest aim of of popular virtue. The honest man, it one be ever fonnd, does nothing but what everyone may expect of him. white he who dece'ves in nine canes, and ats justly in one, is counted very meritorious, the nine cases of de j ccptiou serving to et off, by way of contrast, the one trnstworthy iiet, and i to secure the prodigals appreciation. Integrity becomes a commodity, and. like everything else, succumbs to the idea of success There is no justifica-1 tioo of these evil practices nought or desired, further than that it is custom Everybody does it, therefore, everybody must do it, is the prevailing sentiment. To get the better of a bargain, when known to be by deception, is .reckoned as skill, and not to be ready to seiz an advantage is counted stupidity. But let the popular notion be what it may. let rogues grow fat and rich, and dazzle with their show of success, it m ust ever remain an immutable truth, that there is uo real success without merit." To barter reputation for gain thinking that riches eleva'e a man, is "a delusion. . . It is thno that the rising genera ion awake and improvo upon the example of their fathers. Let' there be an age of meritan age of meritorious success Let there be an age when, to succeed by honest tact and skilUul' ihtegrity, shall be the highest -honor... a man can reach Let there,; for once, be a gener ation of honest men in the history of the Itepuoue, ana it win tor ever be . . . remembered as the golden age, and thereafter, -whoeer, through merit, shall be crownca witn success, win oe Styled'alhertiTgi.

'Zephyr Home," Cherokee, Iowa, . : . November 11, 1870. Denr Regitter It has been so long a time since the world was thrown into couvulsons of delight by my facile peDf that I cannot longer refrain from using it. And yet it would seem a downright presumption for one of my sex, whose original and unrefined tastes had cued her to seek a homestead retreat in the North-west, to seize her quill for such a purpose. Indeed, it could not result otherwise than disastrously to your pa per for such' an one to gain admission to your columns, but for the dazzling scintillations ot wit and humor, ever streaming from tho starry hostuf con tribu(ors it has been the rare fortune of the tteqister to enlist in its cause. Hu then, you kiiow, the splendot'and mag nificence of the Heavens comes not alone from the major stars, but from the 'Hwiukle, twinkle little stars" a well. ' I do jnot aspire to do more than " twinkle." j Oh, no; toswn-til-lafc is out of my range, ludeed, I never did keep late hours, which, doubtless ac eouuts for my ability to "take a home stead." - - U . : ' " N. B.- Heads of families, individual over twenty-ne years of age (irresec live of rnce, color or sex), and othersim account of .military considerations, arc peimitted to enjoy this b nificent riht For one and ttte s.me reason 1 am oor the head ol a family, nor the h-ppy issessor'of a military record, but am warced by my faithtul mirror, nod the record in the old tiuiiy Bible, that i am that I jam nam, yes, 1 dare say it, twenty one years of age.as the homestead law requira-. And as you. my brave editor, may jbe assured, by this remark, able exhibition ot genuine courage on my part, in daring to utter the truth on mj delicate a; point, I would have manu factured for uiy self auch a record, .buf tor the couti;mjitide social theories that ru'ed my sex out of every otoe" than Aunt Kezziah's umbersall and pepper-box brigttdo," and the very same that now crowd her out of the ra-ks o' the politico-cial rnk by keeping her away from the ballot bo. But enough just now on the subject of woman's rights. I have said that 1 enjoy the hfppy privilege ol being a homesteader; allow me to amplily this point a little It is not everywhere knon by a certain class, who, of al others ought to know it, that the "dele nee less and uo protected" butt of all jokes, yclept an old maid,' is entitled to the benefit of the Homestead act of 1802. That she can take, occupy and improve, if she will, the same number of broad acres that the pantaloon lords of creation are wont to ruje over. (See Lester on Lauds, vol. 2, p 277); and that there are so many thousands of such persons skinning out an existence from hand to mouth, on paltry salaries of from one to three dollars per week, craved and had at the hands ol the aforesaid pontaloon tri'oe, is enough to cause one of that unfortunate class, to grasp her quiil, and demand to be hear I, even through the news"pajers sufficient , to impel her to turn proclaimcr, and say to her sis ters, there j'are thousands of acres of land in the most fertile onions' of Iowa, sending forth invitation after in vi'ation, on their flower perfumed breath, "to come and occupy and im prove ; aye1, touch us with the inspiring hand ot industry, and we shall Iaugl with golden bar vests for -the.c" And why, don't iyou respond by coming? Oh," you I answer, I am a woman !' Not so. xour trouble ts, you lack the spunk aod grit of true womanhood. These elements you want, and then you shall no longer remain dependents, but will venture, to assume the offensive against ihe 'enormities and oppressions heaped upon you. ou allow yourselves to be laughed and ; snubbed down, by the narrow-minded simpering snifflers. who insist that your place is bumping oyer the sewing machine, or splashing in the dish-pan. Fie I Your place' is where, youi can make the most mouey honorably ; where y'U can evolve the greatest amount of practical work 'de velop the greatest amount of muscle and brains j Those who would have you believe that yeur, sphere is exclusively in' the delightfully odorized atmosphere of the kitchen,' wash room and nursery . are afraid of just such developments as these. .

You are needed here, and will be appreciated; if you come with a purpose and a will equal to tne demands of the times. Set an esampie to that worthless class of gcnileman loafers" who infest our large towns and cities by coming here and opening farm 'hornet for yourselves --self sustaining homes, fortune making homes just such homes as you need and can have by an endeavor worthy of your sex. Hy doing this, you will be able to hurl back the insult so often cast upon ' the weaker vessel," ; hat she is dependent, etc. Dependent, to be ure, but only on Ood and her own brain aod mucle. Dependent! Yes hut only as others who aie depeudem -independent ! Obtain the name of some honesr agent, and. through im procure yur lands, or send one of your number to persooallyselcct them Move on to i hem at the proper time, providing urselves with team force, and such tgricultural implements necessary to iegiu with.

There is no question, therefore, hut ihat the Duke U Aosta, is henceforth i he legitimate oerei;n of 8pan. Thf people had an inalienable riirht to choose their form of (ioverorout, or to count lesion certain peisons to make the selection for them; and the latter courm of action having resulted in. the election of a kinir, we re bound to recourn'z?. although wo may not approve of it As American Hepnblicans, wc should, of course, prefer that the Spaniards had adopted our institutions, hut we do not dpny their right to Wo otherwise. W are much afraid that this choice will prove the source of innumerable mis ibrtunea for Spain. She had just one good chance of rising out of the "'slough of despond," where she had l iin for cen turies, and. instead of taking advantage of it, she has thrown it wiiiuliy away. The country will be more lucky than we expect to se it if it escape a terri ble and exhausting civil war. It may be torn to pieces by factions in the con Hiding interests of Don Carlos, Mont pensier, Isabella, the Prince of Asturias and tho Republic. Notwithstanding that the last mentioned U represented only by a minority, and that ;probablv not a very strong one, it would undoubt edly have been better for the country if it had been triumphant, because it alon3 could set on foot a really atable Government. All the others must, by their uature. tend toward a Republic by poocees of development, and for th t reason they can only represent antatc of transition. There is no higher class ol Government than a Republican one. and, arrived at that. . Spain 'would have J avoided the necessity of a revolution. Now thera is one, whefher peaceful or violent we cannot say, before her in the future. If the Spanish Republicans are prudent, they will refrain from any enoeavbr to , produce disturlancc, and will leave the triumph of their cause to be worked out by ther force of public opinion. Of this, at least, they uiayrest assured, rnoiiarchy in Spain, or; any where else, cannot be a perujanent institution.
