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 comes u eg, and 4 pend five dollars on every 4 :| nce, lor those who dance must pay the fiddler. Capi , tal is very pasts’cular noW-a-days. krr, ? drink ox smoke or gamble—one who gave bis money and doesn’t run about every night. Family influ eii'e isn’t worth a cent now. A young man stands on his his habits, his association?. I know a young man who lost his place muise he kept a bottle in his •So he quit fur a year and was “ •t.L) . lit . . U gOOU.

The wife feels as much con cern about her husband drinking as he does about her taking morphine. Young man, there is a, blue book in every town and your name is on it. But there is no' excuse for a | A"° U11 S man fusing to get empfiy- 1 men! in this blessed country. If he does not it is his own fault, if lie can’t get ruh fast be can slow. Jf he will begin young and work 1 »rd and behave himself ho will accu mulate a plenty for his old age. Old ago wants s:en:o money. It wants iest amt ought to have it. “Otiiim cum dignitato” is the Latin for dignified leisure, but I h ard Judge Underwood say it mean', “rest comes by digging’.’ Dig first and test afterwards. OI<J age don't want to get up a cold winter morn ing and make llm lire and cook the breakfast. Go to work young man and,lay up some monoy for your old age—for | -^corae lhe timo wl,ou burden tll(! and ^whopper the-cook will will a quit before breakfast. “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 the spinning wheel. In the after 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. Bine Am*.
