A Woid To Yeung Mea-
Your arc needed, young titan. The
country nerds you, it is no time now to
be twirling y. nr rntan over you header
dancing attendance upon bar or billiard
rooms, you have been lolling on the lap of
laziness long enough. It is high time
for action —life-sustaining, bcalth-invi|}o»
rnt'ng. wealth-getting action.
Work!
Do you have an idea ol what the word
means? Stand up before us and say your
catechism. Were you made to grow and
luxuriate upon tbe green earth like a fun
gus on a dunghill, without so much as
earning the salt that seasons your pota
toes ? Were your hands made, by special
order, to fit dainty kid gloves or cosily
diamond rings? Have you no mission
beyond that of the dapper swell that dan
gles and dashes about in the neighbor
hood < f fair ladies, like a moth arouud a
candle ? Have you no sense of duty to
stimulate you to earnest bravo endeavor
—to induce you to slough ofidle
ness and don the homespun'Or
‘By the sweat of your brow.”
The Great Worker who uttered that
judgment meant it all. He has no room
for idlers iu Ilis vineyard. He has fixed
this price on our daily bread, and tha
revenue cannot remain unpaid without
leaving us culprits in the eye of the Di
yine law. By work we may transform
(lie judgment in'o a benediction, and
shape a curse into a downright blessing.
Be hopeful.
•Ay, that is what you have so learn.
A\ o own that (lie prospect is unfruitful,
Tiiat lhe dreadful upheavings are such as
to induce you to wait and sec what will
be tho result. But you have no time to
wait Every hour is worth a dollar in
greenbacks, and you cant afford to spend
so much. Besides, you have nothing io
do with the past. It is dead. The pres
ent is your time. It is alive and active.
With it alone you have to do. Then,
whatever you find to do, do it with all
your energy and be hopeful for the fu
ture. By taking care of what you haviy;
you cannot possibly lose what, you will
S ot -, -
\ i.sior.
Let that be your motto. Onward—up
ward—higher. Whatever you undertake,
perform it well. If you cultivate the
soil, plow deeper and straightcr furrows
than your neighbor, ll’you are a mason,
lay your htiek firmer anti lay a few more
of them each day than your fellow work
man. ii'you area smith, draw a smooth
er bar, and turn a better shoe, than the
man who hammers at the other anvil.
Be perfect in what you undertake. Good
work will enrich you, while you would
starve to death ort botch work. Strive
to excel. No matter what your vocation,
yourcoyidwt will .establish the relation be
tween you and society. Xo man is hum
ble by b: calling, while the humblest
calling is elevated by industrious and ca
llable manhood
The sum of cur argument is, that our
young men must go to work at some
thing ; preserve in the determination ta
exec), and trust- to the future lor the fruits,
without any fear or failure. Activity,
vigilance and courage is all the capital
left to many, but armed with the three,
the humblest youth will be able to paddle
his own canoe out of thorough and bois
teious stream into Iho smooth, deep wa
of prosperity. —Atlanta ErO.
“No Church Bonnet.” —We heard of
a lady the other day who rendered as excuse
for not attending elnirch last Sunday that
the mdliuer did not complete her “church
bonnet” according to promise.
This led us all thejaore to suspect that
our Sabbath had become the day, and our
fine churches the lialis for the weekly meet
ings of the “Boat’d of Fa-hion.” Well, the
next regular meeting will take place to
morrow in all the “big! -steeple”houges in the
city ; but let everv one be sure to have her
“church bonnet” ready; also her church
dress; furthermore, her eh roll shoes, iu
short, a complete chutch outtit lor lien
■'thole body! The soul is naked euough
God kno,,vs ; her garments are already in
tetters, and hence the great necessity for
a splendid decoration of the body according
to the latest decision of the Board of
Fashion.
J nst in the proportion as Christianity i3
perverted and piety corrupted, does fashion
able extravagance prevail Wo begin to
think that universalism, and all the tation
alisms that have been so active during tho
past quarter of a century have done a bad
job for religion. They seem to have re
moved from the popular mind that whole
some fear of the future which used to oppose
the seduction of the Goddess of Fashion,
and render almost any kind of a bonnet fit
for church-going. People were then glad to
get to church in as good an outfit as they
could conveniently obtain, without stopping
to inquire v hether any one would have any
thing more elegant. They then thought
more of the hegrt than of the head, more of
the soul than of tjie feet, and more of the
salvation of the y/hole body. They then
had some regard for the text which reads :
“Fear not him v,ho can kill the body,
bat rather fear Ilhn who hath power to
destroy both soul and body in hell fire.” ; .
But the time is coming with every one
when she will not inquire lor her “church
bonnet,” but will rather ask for the “Com
forter,” whose protection she had neglected
to secur ■ in Iter infatuated regard tor the
flimsy tinsel of the Board cf Fashion.—Cin
