■ WORK AND BE HAITI.
JilLS- AI:« 's AUViCS.
Not Ion? ago 1 fituv a nice young
maft who is jet m his teeu* going
round town hunting for a place in
a store, lie looked anxious- and
timid and didn't stem to have much
faith in finding a place. The boy
belonged to a broken down aristo
cratic family and suddenly realized
that l.e had to work )or a living.
He had never plowed or hoed or dug
or chopped wood, or curried a horse,
or done anything but go to school
and vis : t around rnd have a good
time, but now he had worn oat his
we'come and realized that I he reali
ties of life wire upon him. He
must go to work, IIis hands were
soft and feminine. He had very
good tidies, was handsome and
would have male an attractive
clerk in a dry goods store. But
(hero was no place and ho had no
espeiience. A few days afterwards,
as I was meandi ring around, I saw
him making up mortar for a brick
mason. He was pulling away as
hard its lie could, but I noticed that
ho had g'ovi s on. I didn’t like
that until 1 learned that his hands
were blistered so bad he bad to wear
gloves or quit. lie was bright and
cheerful—said ho was getting sev
enty-live cents a day ana promised
a dollar a -soon as he could do ao
much work as “a nigger.” lie said
he enjoyed his meals and slept
splendidly, and had four dollars in
pocket that he had earned, the first
money be Lad evi r earned, and he
f it richer and more independent
than he had ever felt before.
There is grit in that boy. He
lias met the enemy and the enemy
is bis. lie has whipped poverty
and dependence at the start, and it
he will keep on that Hue his fortune
is made—I mean tbo line of work.
He has begun at tho bottom and
«i!l woik up. Ho won’t spend
those dollars—they cost too much
to throw gway on foolishness.
They cost sweat and li e ! muscles
and aching bones and blistered
hands ami humility, but ho is get
ting over that now. it nearly killed
him for the society girls to ride ty
and see him at work. They’ know
him, and one said : “I thought he
would have to come down.” An
other said, “Poor fellow ! I um just
as sorry’ for him as I can be. He is
so nice and dances so charmingly.”
That is what is the matter with
a good many of the young men.
They are afraid ot what the girls
will say. They had rather loaf
around among their kin or pretend
to be reading law than go to work
work is not exactly respectable,
This false orido is u contemptible
weakness and disgusts me. A work
ing boy wont have to do that kind
of work long. He is watched anu
talked about and very soon some
body wag's him and he gets a bet
ter place. He crawls up. It ia an
<dd saying that if a young man
■ar cs Lis first thousand dollars be
will get rich—that is bo in nine
cases out of ten—yes if he will save
!>ig first tnndrod, he will succeed,
and any 7 young nun can save that
much in a year if be will let whis
key and tobacco and the society
girls a one—society will keep a poor
young men poor. It keeps married
folks poor. I am thinking now of
a married man who is bowed down
with debt, while bia family are try
ing to keip on tho ragged edge of
society. A milliner makes tl eir
clothes, and they are jnst obliged
to ride in a carriage when they go
visiting. Such people are the town
talk and don’t.know it. There are
nice lu young been men clerking in every fi.* town who and j
ce years,
haven’t laid up a debar. They! j
-must tr ’ a girl to every show that

“What about the girls,” says a
friend. Let the girls quit their
foolishness, as Sam Jo nos says. If
they can't make money, let them
quit spending it. I know young
ladies whoso fathers are mi a strain,
and yet they’ won’t make their own
dresses. They have them made by
tbo milliner. They prance all over
the town, and gad about and read
novels, aid don’t doa blessed tiling
to help their father maintain the
family. A girl whose fattier is on a
strain ought to make her own
clothes and bo wo more besides. If
she doesn’t know how, she should
learn. Every member of the family
should at least cam their salt and
pepper and pickles and chewing
gum. A girl of eighteen who can’t
make her own clothes is not fit lo be
a wife, much leas a mother. Rich
or poor, they ought to do some
thing useful. Get up early and fly
round and sweep and cluseand look
after the dining room and the
lamps. After bn akfast go to that
sewing math no and it hum and
June like your grand mothers did

noon pul on your nice hour made
dress and go to see somebody’ you
want to see somebody who v ants 10
see yon, and talk sense when you
get there. Oh, for more model boys
and model girls lo raise tho next
crop from, Young man, don't you
marry a young girl who is too proud
or too lazy to make her own clothes.
Ycnnglady, don’t you marry a man
who drinks or who spends ail that
he makes, If following this advice
stops the breed, let it stop.
