A DAILY MESSAGE
COMMON SENSE! Common sense is not so very comm m after all. -Aiany of our very good friends are lacking in this asset. Every day we get illustrations of iliis fact, but to-day brought me one particularly striking. There passed by a man who had pm up a fine struggle against great od Is in u business which had finally failed. “ 1 suppose you heard that he lias failed?” said the person to whom ' was speaking. “ I heard that his ‘business’ failed,” 1. replied. “AA’ell, that’s the same thing, isn’; it? ” came the rejoinder. Now, the fact is Lliat that man’? business failed; he did not; and i isn’t the same thing—not by a long way. The fellow in question was intelligen and industrious, at work early and late ’ he was beaten by a failin'.’: market. ?’o bis business failed—tlm+v all. He didn’t. For be is still alive, and has experience, energy, ambition, and pluck. And no man lias failed w has all these assets. It needs only a little common sensi to realize tho difference between ;■ hopeless business and a hopeful man, Aiany it man’s success started in ; business failure. —M. PRESTON STANLEY.
