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 cinnati Times, 10th.
