EXCELSIOR.

HOW TO MAKE A FORTUNE.

Most nations inhabit countries ready-made. They land on an island, or they press onwards into some unappropriated wilderness, and there they sow fields and plant vineyards. But the nation of Europe, by far the thriftiest and most frugal, has in a great measure created its own country. By running out into the shallow sea dykes and embankments, and then pumping off the brine, the Hollanders have reclaimed a vast surface from the watery waste; and now on spots where fishes used to be caught, and where ships rode at anchor, cattle graze, gardens blossom, and people go out and in among the thriving villages.

To the people of the Netherlands their territory has been an excellent teacher. Says the shore gently shelving, "Take pains, and I will repay you. Drive a few piles, and wattle and puddle them, and at once you have an estate—a little croft of your own on which you may grow roots and herbs, or pasture kine. And if you take the produce to the nearest market, you will get money; and with that money you may hire labour and take in more land from this shallow ocean, or this oozy marsh; and thus, adding field to field, you may at last bequeath a goodly freehold to your grateful children." Which is just the philosophy of Industry. Every one of us is born on the edge of an ocean, not very deep at the margin; and under that ocean there

lies a boundless expanse of wealth, knowledge, moral worth, ascendancy over others: but every man has to conquer his own acquisition for himself. Many lazy or sanguine spirits. are content to lie half slumbering on the shore. They hope that some happy morning fame, or a fortune, or a fine estate, may rise to the surface and come floating to their feet; and, whilst they drowse and dream, life wastes away, and they die inglorious and poor. But others begin the battle of existence like these brave old Batavians. They say, "I have a goodly heritage; but it is still under water. It is still a matter of faith; for it is a thing not seen as yet: but I must raise it from the deep; I must bring it to the light. I must redeem a little portion to begin withal; and when I have made sure of that first instalment, it will be a little capital on the strength of which I may proceed to conquer more."

Such, we repeat, is the philosophy of Industry. Solomon expressed it when he said, "The hand of the diligent maketh rich." The Saviour expressed it when He said, "To him that hath shall be given." It is by a process of steady industry and cheerful perseverance that the most learned man has reclaimed his information from the abyss of ignorance; and it is by a growth in goodness,-by line upon line and by improvement on improvement that the holiest man, with God's help and blessing, has gained for himself his present excellence and well-earned reputation. And it is of great moment to be rooted and grounded in this first principle this universal law of individual progress. It is of great importance especially, our dear young friends, to you. The principle is, that however poor, ignorant, or prone to evil, we are born, God gives to each of us a glorious opportunity. If true to Him, and if rightly alive to our great advantages, we may make our fortune. We may become rich intellectually, morally, spiritually.
