Failures In Business

The man wlio has never failed in business c.tnnot possibly know whether he is honest or not ; he cannot possibly know whether hi has any " grit " in him, or is worth a button. It is the man who fails, and then rises, who is rDally great in his way. Pater Cooper failed in mailing hats, failed as a cabinet maker, locomotive builder, and a grocer; but as often as he failed he " tried and tried again," until he could stand upon his feet alone ; then orowned his victory by giving a million dollars to help the boys in times to come. Horace Greeley tried three or four Unes of business before he founded the New York Tribune, and made it worth a million of dollars. Patrick Henry failed at everything he undertook, until he made hiinself the orator of his age and nation. The founder of the New York JJerali kept on failing and sinking money for ten years, and then made one of must the profltable newspapers on earth.
