If a peraoD is engaged in a line of bnsiness in which he makes little or no progress, not being partiealarly adapted for that sphere, the best he cau do ij to try something else, which his natural abilities are better adapted for. This is dangerons adyice taken in a general way, as it eccourages a changing from one thing to another and would tend to increase the num- ber who have no settled occnpalion, •and of whom|there are already to many in the world. Of coarse it is useless for a man to follow the painting busmess who is color blind, neither will he succeed at music if he has no ear for melody, and -in sach cases time is only thrown ^way. There are thousands of young men in the world starting out in life, and it is ot the greatest importance that such carefully find what they are best adapted for, then commence, and con tinue at it with all his might. The man of one idea is the man that makes his mark, while he who is, everything by starts and nothing long, seldom rises in position or wealth. The future of the country depends on the young men of to day, and accord- ing us their aims are correct and their efforts well directed will the result be. 'The man is not interested as much in the future prosperity of the country -as in his individual succeas, and the 'best way to suoiess is to find our best hold and never let go. Choose an honest calling and then keep at it, jou will thusiinsure ultimate individual suscess, and a country made up of such citizen cannot but prosper. From our own cormpouioKt.

The Reformers of the Centre riding met in solemn conclave in Markdale on Tuesday last. There was a good atten dence, every township being represented The chief bnsiness of the meeting was to nominate candidates for the Commons and Legislature for the coming elections which resulted as follows, yiz â€" Mr Robert Gilray, Barrister of Toronto, brother of Thos, Gilray, Esq., reeve of Euphrasia for the commons, and Wm.

Mr. Brown's addresses to the electors will appear next week, Holland Centre. The following are the opening senten. ces of the address on this subject, by Mrs. Skinner Miss President, fellow wimmen, and male thrash generally â€" ^I am here to-day for the purpose of discussing woman's rights, recussing her wrongs and cussing the men. I beheve the sexes Were created per- fectly equal, with the woman a little more equal than the man. I also believe that the world to-day would be happier if man never existed. As a success man is a failure, and I thank my stars that my mother was a woman. [Applause.] I not only maintain their principles, but maintain a shiftiess husband besides. They say man was created first- Well, suppose he was. Aint first ex periments always failures? K I was betting I would bet $2.50 they are. The only decent thing about him was a rib, and that went to make something better. And they throw in our faces about taking an apple. I'U bet five dollars Adam boosted her up the tree and then only gave her the core. And what did he do when he was found out True to his masculine instinct, he sneaked behind Eve's Grecian bend and said, "Twan't me, 'twas hey," and woman has had to father eyerything and mother it too.

Having received tile aihaiimonB nomination of the largest and most influential Conserva- tive Convention ever held in the Biding, viiioh met in October last, and having since received the most enooarae^ug assurance, of support from the electors generally, I beg most respectfully to annoonce that I feel it my duty to accede to their wishes and aciept such nomination. I have been a resident of the Biding for thirty-eight years. Daring the greater part of that period I have been, more or less • actively engaged in the administration of your monicipal affairs and while occupying prominent positions of trust in your County Council I haye invariably been guided by a desire to protect and promote your interests. My long residence in the Siding and prac- ticttl knowledfre of the working of our municipal institutions enable me the more readily to anticipate your special require- ments, represent your grievances and obtaia reUef from oppressive legislation. If elected as your representative, I will endeavor faithfully to discharge my duty by giving effect to wholesome legislation and wili ad- viicate a more economical administration of the finances and of the Crown domain. As there is not space in a short address to fully explain my yiews I shall endeavor to attend meetings in the various Townships of the Biding before the elections and there discuss in detail the various questions now before the people. In conclusion, I shall advocate eqaal rights and privil^es to all classes and creeds of Her Majesty's subjects. Being a resident of the Biding and like many of yourselves engaged in farming operations, our interests are identical I shall do my best to advance them. Belying on your cordial and generous bui port to elect me as your representative I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOSEPH EORKE.
