A SAFE RULE.
(.Chicago Ntirt.) It is not a bad plan to do all that you oan In your chosen particular line, And if progress is e'ow and there's little to show . For your work, not to vrarmp&r and whine. It as better to creep ths-u fail short in a leap, You will coma cut tdl right if you stay ; You are bound to succeed if this warning you heed — Keep pegging away. Perhaps onco in a while you will ccc a man pile TJp a fcn-hme in no time — that* true; You'll objiecnra that hem struck in a rich streak cfMuck •And you'll think that might happen to yon. But if "you would advance you must not trust to chance; You will find ms » rule it -won't pay; Just a slow, Bleady pace is the best in fife's race*— Keop pegging away. If you're willing to climb just a step at a time, You ore more apt to get to the top. There ia many a. stroke to- the fell of an oak And the stone is worn through drop by drop. It's a proverb that haste is conducive to waste, And that Home was not built in a day j If you don't go too fast you Trill get there *t last — Keep pegging away.
