But there is 1 no excuse for a young man failing to get em- plqyment in this blessed country .Atlanta ConstitatJon, Not long' ago I saw a nice young man who is yet m his teens going around town hunting for a place in a store. He looked anxious and iimkl, and didn’t seem to have much faith in finding a place. The boy belonged to a broken down ar istocratic family, and suddenly realized that he had to work for a living. He had never plowed or hoed or dug or chopped twood, or curried a*horse, or done anything else but go to school and visit around and have a good time, but now he had vrorn out his welcome and realized that the realities of life’were upon him. He must go to work. His bauds are soft and feminine. He bad very L good clothes, was handsome, and would have made an attractive’ clerk in a dry goods store. Hut there was no place, and he had no experi ence. A few days afterward, as I was meandering 'aro'una, I saw him miii ig mortar for a brick mason. He was pulling away as hard aB he dould, but I noticed that he had gloves. I didn’t like that until I learned his hands were blistered bo bad that he had to wear the gloves or quit. He was bright andVheerful—said he was getting seventy-five cents a day, and was promised a dollar as soon as he could do -as much work as a “trigger.” He said he enjoysd his meals and slept splendid, and had four dollars in his pocket that he had earned; the first money that he had ever earned, and he felt richer and more independent than be had ever felt before. There is .grit in that boy. He: has met the eneiriy and the enemy is his. He has whipped poverty and dependence at the start, and if he will keep on that line his for tune is made—I mean the line of work. He lias begun at the bot- ■ tom and will work up. He won’t spend those dollars—they cost too hi ich to throw away on foolish ness. They cost sweat arid tired muscles and aching bones and blistered hands and humility, but he is getting over that uoir. It nearly killed him for the society girls to ride by and see him at work;* They know him, and one said, T thought he would have to coma down.” Another said, “Poor fellow! I am 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 # young men. I?hey are afraid of what the girls will say. They had rather loaf around among their kin or pretend to, be reading law than to go to work- work is not exactly respectable. This false pride is a Contemptible weakness and disgusts me so I feel like taking off my coat and hiring out to tote'mortar or dig in the ditches for the gas pipe just as an example. I counted twenty-sii negroes all in a row digging in those ditches and not a white man among them. A working boy won’t have to do that kind of work long. He is watched and tajkad about, and very soon somebody wants him, and he gets a , betler place. He crawls up. It is an old saying that if a young man saves his first thofisSiid dollars he will get rich—that is so in nine -cases out of ten—yes, if he will save his first hundred he will succeed, and any young man can save.that much in a year if he will let whiskey and society girls . alone—society will keep a poor young man poor. It keeps married folks poor. I am ihiuking now of a mMried man who is bowed down with debt, while his family are trying to keep on the ragged edge qf society. A milliner makes their clothes, .and they are just ooliged to ride in a carnage when they, go visiting, Such people aie the town talk and don’t know it." There are nice young men iri every, town who have been clerking for yekrs .arid ’ haven’t laid up a dollar. They must take a girl to every show that conies along, and spend five dollars on every dance, for those who danee must pay' the If lie does not have it it is his own fault. If.he can’t get rich fast he can slow. If lie will begin young and .work hanj and behave him self ne will accumulate a plenty for his old age. Old age wants some Mbtieyl It wants rest and ought to have it. “Otiuin bum dignitate” is the latin for dignified leisure, but I heard Judge Under wood say it meant “rest comes by digging.” Dig first and rest af terwards. Old age don’t want to get up on a cold winter morning and make the fire and cook break fast. Yesterday morning a little darkey tapped at our bed room door and said, “Mammy say her sick an’ she can’t come dis morn- in’.” And themjl heard a female voice reply, “Oh, dear me, there it is again. I thought last night she was filing to'get^sick. She is such an aggravation. I wish she would quit and stay quit. Here it is seven o’clock, and not even a fire made.” Aud so the breakfast was like the trains, an hour late, and the children were late to school, and got marked, and everything was but of joint, and haven’t got straightened but yet. Eight dol lars a month and perquisites won’t keep a cranky cook in order. In such emergencies 1 used to get up and cook the breakfast myself; but I Wdii’t do it now, I’ve struck. I’ll do without it first. I want my otinm cum dig. Mrs. Arp shan’t do it, either. She wants her otium, and is entitled to it. We have ari- other darky close by, and so the case is not desperate, bat it is pro voking. There is a good deal of provoking in this vale of tears. Last night I started to town. The silver moon was shining nearly vertical, and its I. stepped off the piazza to the pavement, I thought I saw our black dog lying on the Step; and so I stepped high to step over him; and Mrs. Arp says she, “what are you stepping so high for —you remind ifie of a blirid horse with the string-halt.” “I didn’t want to step oil jthe dog,” said I, indignantly. She just laughed, and said, “children, did you see ^prir pa trying to step over hiil shadow—tiiere is nd dog there;” And they all laughed but me.' Such things always disturb my se renity. Go to work young man and lay up some money ftir your old age— for the time when the grasshopper will become a burden and the cook will quit before breakfast, and foil will think your shadow is a dog. “What about the girls?” says a friend.

If they can’t make mbh£y; let them £uit sp.4n3in| it. 1 know Young ladies in’ this: town" whose fathers are. on a strain,; and yet they woii’t make their own dresses."

The minister’s wife sat on tKe front porch mending tSe clothes of one of her numerous progeny. A neighbor passing stopped in for a social chat. A large work bas ket, half full of buttons, sat on the floor of the porch. After varion* remarks of a gossipy nature, tile visitor said: “You seem to be well supplied with buttons, Mrs..Goodman.” “Yes, very well indeed.” “My gracious! If there ain’t two of the same buttons my htisbarid had pn his last winter suit.

There was once a lady, sober in mind and sedate in manner, whose plain.dress, exactly represented her desire to be inconspicuous, to do good, to improve every .day of her life in actions that should.^.benefit her kind. She was a serious per son, inclined to improving conver sation,, to the reading . of bound books which cost at least a dollar and* half (15 cents of which she gladly eontribut'edsto the author), and she had a distaste to the "gay society which was mainly a flutter of ribbons and talk and pretty faces; arid when "she;’ meditated, as she did in her spare moments, her heart was sore over the frivolity of life and the emptiness of fashion. She longed to make the world bet ter, and without any prigishness she set it an example of simplie ty arid sobriety, of cheerful acquies-* cence in plainness and iriconspicu- ousness. .. One day, it was in the autumn, this lady had occasion to buy a new hat. From a great number offered to her, she selected a red one with a .dull red plume. It did not agree, with the rest, of her ap- parfel ; it did riot fit her- apparent character. What impulse led to this selection she could not ex plain. She was not tired of being good, but something in the jaunti ness of the hat and the color pleased her. If it were a tempta tion, she did not intend to yield to it, but she thought she would take the hat home and try it. Perhaps her nature felt-the need of a little warmth. The hat pleased her still more when she got it home and put it on and surveyed her self in the mirror, Indeed, there was a new expression in her face that corresponded to the hat. She put it off and looked at it. There was something almost humanly winning and temptatious about it In short, she kept it, and when she wore it abroad she was not conscious of its incongruity to her self or to her dress, but of-fche in congruity of the rest of her appar el to the bat, which seerued to have a sort, of intelligence of its own, at least a power of changing and con forming things to itself. By de gree one article after. another in the lady’s wardrobe was laid aside and another substituted for it, an swering to the demanding spirit of the hat. In a little while this plain lady was not plain any more, but most .gorgeously dressed, and possesseo^with the desire, to be in the height of fashion. It came to this that she had a tea gown made out of a window curtain flamboyant pattern. Solomon in all his glory would have been ashamed of himself in her pres ence. But this was not all. Her dis position, her ideas, her whole life Was changed.. She read nothing but stories in paper covers. In stead of being sedate and sober minded, she was frivolous to ex cess; she spent most of her- time with women-who liked to “frivol. She Sept Lent in the most pensive way so as to make the impression- upon everybody that she was bet ter than the extreme kind. From liking the sedatest company she passed to liking the gayest society, and the most fashionable meth od _pf getting rid of her time and she is now an ornament to so ciety. ■ * Albany News and Advertiser Here is the best on* that has yet been heard on the Chatanqnaf An old woman wandered into the sit ting room, of one of onr. most prominent ladies, and announced herself with . the query; . “Say, Miss Lizzie/ when is this here She- talker gwine ter take place?” She "was iriformed-that the opening cer- mones would b® next -Monday. “ Wellj l’iri Mighty glad 'they’re gwine ter let the wimmen folks talk, 35 .she said, “I neyer has talked eg Much as I wanted to, and if they’ll only give us a chance when -they have-the She-falker- I’ll be satisfied.” The Trinity church SBC.- J _ property, xt is very particular hdw-*- jprirtf besides.

To every trade, to every business transaction, to ’all; differences of what ever kind or character spring ing up betw.aeu individuals there are two sides. In all such matters It is a trait)of"human character to look almpst .exclnsively upon the side of individual or self-interest. This fact, coupled with a. miscon ception of lihe true law of self-pro tection and .self-preservation leads us into a line of defense indicating that there is but one side-the question at) issue. ; This is true, and especially observable, tin) in stances or differences involving character. We too often endeavor to build up our own fences on this line by pulling down the fences of our neighbor. We draw the pic ture in accord with pur views re gardless of what .the results may be to our neighbor. We base our acts and. say-so3 upon the view presented by looking at one side. We do not put ourselves in onr neighbor’s shoe's and «take a fair and impartial view of the other aide". This course of conduct usu ally widens the" breach and pro- duses harmful results. This serious mistake is more generally observable" among class es of persons who are usually de nominated gossipers and tattlers, of whom we hope it riiay be said “they are not increasing.” These persons, whether ever on tile qui- vive for for such or not we know not; soem to be well versed in all the little breaches of etiquette and improprieties that- bubble to • the Surface in social circles. These they catch up and float out upon the other side^to see what the re sults may- be. They communicate the foiblea].)of olhers, with the in terpolating precaution “don’t you repeat this,” to their confidants, of whom they have many. Thus it is that the little faults and shortcom ings of many find access to the public ear, from which oftentimes harmful and hurtful results follow. Much of this comes from the fact thht gossipers will not put them selves iri the shoes of those about whom they goasiji, and look on the other side. Applvto ->v. ©AYI$ & FELBEK, June 14—tf.
