what May be Accomplished by Energy and Perseverance.

Cwwtt H. W- Pikckxey, in "Dixie, a published at Atlanta, Georgia, ItTthe following incidents, which came Let the writer's observation, whore leas trod closely on the heel of persever ance and industry :-A man can make a KvW ft nd also make money, in hundreds different ways in this country, and it is , mi-hty good thing that this is so, else .Seduction would be the rule, not the 2 on. 1 know a man who is getting S5 of baby swings. It's a simple, Si thing to make, and he started in Spleanl cheap way to make them, hp nfeoutfit of tools comprising two saws Saw benches, a draw shave, two hand 95 a brace and some bits, a rough Avork Ch He didn't stand around with hands Rg'pockefcs siting fo/ somebody with Ltal to come along and boost him. Not SS He thought these swingsi would HO, so he made one and peddled !t round until he found a purchaser. Then he ma de another and sold that, and thus he kept on until finally people began to think his swings' were a good thing to have in the family, and they began to inquire for tkm, JJ> started eieht years ago, ami alone did all the work of making and sell ing thep. Things with him are very different khday. He has a shop two stones in height, and machinery for sawing, plan ing boring, mortising, turning, and sand papering the material entering into the construction' of these swings. In that shop forty wen find constant employment, and. as I said before, the owner is getting rich oat of it. Counting the Avives and children of the workmen in that shop, there is a population of nearly or quite one hundred and fifty making a liAdng out of one man's \iea, that a baby swing woqld sell' Abahy swing is not a very big thing, bat it is in this case big enough to keep quite a little village busy and comfortably. A .tcp ladder is a mighty handy thing to have around the house. Fiv^e yeans ago three men, by the closest kind of scraping, twisting, and borroAy ing, managed to get together five hundred 4ollar_. They bought soiqe lwnl#r, rigged up a circular, or buzz, rip saw, and started in to make step ladders. lot liwp years, it was a struggle of the. West kind; sales had to be made by per sonal canvass, prices obtained permitted no margin of profit, and the outlook Avas of Kch a discouraging nature that their Ms and neighbours pitied them first, _a prophesied dead failure, and finally J-%hed ijb their folly in sticking by a losing g_». i here came a change, however. A prominent house-furnishing goods firm one flay rate-ipm for prices on live thousand Mere, The size of this possible order very nearly took them off their feet. They had sense enough, however, to understand that this big house Ayould not give them the order unless prices were made aAvay down, so they sab down and figured the thing over, and having decided that matter, awaited the result, Avhich turned in th«ir favour and they got the order. Then they went to Avork; each one took his coat on*and pitched in; they Avorked sixteen hours a day until that order Avas filled, and it wa. filled in time, and each ladder ivas wtly. made* The only expense they realised was for lumber, screws, and paint. They had done all the ivork themselves. This was the turning-point in their business 'Wr. Within a month from the delivery of these five thousand ladders they had con tacted with the same house for a monthly supply of two thousand five hundred. They on their feet now, and began to push ™ngs. They are turning out to-day, Avith ween men, ten thousand step-ladders each month, and have been doing.this for more than a year. A step ladder is a little ™ng, but these men are making money out oithem. About fifteen years ago, m one of planing mills in Chicago, a strip of *$% catching, in some unaccountable ■wnerv-oi. abuzz saw, was hurled with raience against the leg of one of the work fi r ™kingifc and badly mangling the tin .1 in^ury in inoapacita -S__r ft? for Performing the labour re s'5? . of ™n in the mill, and he Avas com r7 to e |ee_ other means of livelihood. ■__? 0{ mechanical attainments, his tW 0™.78^ naturally sought outlet in ?™*f.» he built, after his own "W ft scroll or fret saw, foot power, and Jmm a seat on it, as he was unable to m for any length of time, and began for {n„_l nd Puttin S together articles ifruK.- oniainent and utility.
