The Royal Path of Life - Or Aims and Aids to Success and Happiness #224709

WE point to two ways in life, and if the young man and maiden, whose feet are lingering in soft green meadows and flowery paths, will consider these two ways soberly and earnestly, before moving onward, and choose the one that truth and reason tell' them leads to honor, success and happiness they have wisely chosen the Royal Path of Life. The other way is too well known to need description. It is a sad thing, after the lapse of twenty years, to find our selves amid ruined hopes — to sit down with folded hands and say, Thus far life has been a failure! Yet, to how many is this the wretched summing up at the end of a single score of years from the time that reason takes the helm! Alas! That so few who start wrong, ever succeed in finding the Royal Path life proving, even to its last burdened years a millstone about the neck.
