i To Develop Talent. —Place a man in a position that will fearfully tax him and try j him. A position that will often bring the blush to his cheek, and the sweat to his brow, a position that will over-master him at times, ; and cause him to rack his brain for resources. Place him in a position like this ; but every | time lie trips go to ins rescue ; go not with I words of blame or censure, but go with man- ! ful wards of encouragement; look him boldly !iu the eye, and speak them with soul and j emphasis. This is the way to make a man iof a boy and a giant of a man. If a man has pluck and talent, no matter whether ho ever | Idled a given position or not, put him in it if j worthy, and ho will soon not only fill it, but I ont-grow it. Bid put one in a position with a faint heart—tins is the way to kill him. Put him in grandly, with most unmistakoabk I confidence. Drop no caveats, but boldly ! point Die wav, and then stand by with a will and countenance of a t rue friend. Tims | try twenty men, such ns have been named, 1 ensd nineteen will succeed.
