Excerpt: ... CHAPTER K THE CORNER-STONE OF A SUCCESSFUL LIFE. RICH man once undertook to erect a magnificent mansion. W With free and lavish expenditure, he raised its walls: and J>g-b adorned it, within and without, kg to suit his taste. When finished, it was a stately and majestic pile of ti architecture. But, before it was ready for occupation, large aperture? became visible in the walls. The floors and ceilings began to sink, and it was proXfrM DEGREES nounced unsafe for habitation. The unwise owner had been in such unpardonable haste, as to neglect proper precautions in laying the foundation. He had built that massive structure upon an unsound surface, instead of digging down deep into the ground, after the solid rock. There was no remedy, but to take it all down, and begin anew. This he was unable to do, having already exhausted a large proportion of his entire fortune in its construction. He was obliged, therefore, to leave it to decay and ruin, -- to mourn at leisure over the irreparable folly he was too hasty and too thoughtless to avoid at the beginning. I want the young man to give this, my simple par. able, an application to his own life, since he is and must be engaged in the construction of a character for two worlds. His actions and motives are to compose its materials. These, as they accumulate, will give it form and subsistence. It will be good or evil --a shelter or a curse -- according to their quality. Composed of evangelically virtuous and noble acts, it will afford quiet, honor and comfort, in this life; and in the life to come, an abode with the blessed. Composed of unprincipled and irreligious conduct, it will yield him unrest, shame, disgrace, in this world, and eternal infamy in the next. How vastly important, then, for a young man to lay

Book Description
Excerpt from The Young Man's Counsellor: Or, Sketches and Illustrations of the Duties and Dangers of Young Men, Designed to Be a Guide to Success in This Life, and to Happiness in the Life Which Is to Come I love to look upon a young man. There is a hidden potency concealed within his breast which charms and pains me. I silently ask, what will that youth accomplish in the after-time of his life? Will he take rank with the benefactors or with the scourges of his race? Will he, erewhile, exhibit the patriotic virtue of Hampden and Washington, or the selfish craftiness of Benedict Arnold? If he have genius, will he consecrate it, like Milton and Montgomery, to humanity and religion; or, like Moore and Byron, to the polluted altars of passion? If he have mercantile skill, will he employ it, like Astor or Girard, to gratify his lust of wealth; or to elevate and bless humanity, like some of our living merchant princes?
