ENCOURAGEMENT TO YOUNG
MEN

What encouragement 10 industrious
habits and perseverance is the acquisition
of knowledge and the improvement ofthe
mind AS we look back on the past, we
read of hundreds who have risen to sta
lions of honor by their own exertions. -
There is not an instance on record,
where a man put forth all his energies
and determined to be something, who did
no. reach the top of his ambition. II is
not those who have what is called Hber-
al education, who are the most useful
men in the world, and who alone can oc.
cupy stations OF trust and honor. On the
contrary, the most talented men IN our
country belong to that class who receiv-
ed their education at the work bench, the
plough, the press, and the anvil. Who
are the most prominent men in our Con-
gressional and Legislative halls--in the
pulpit and at the bar? Those who were
Graded n poverty, and fought their way
through much sorrow and tribulaion--
VINO met with hard rubs on every side
who were espised and sneered at by the
proud and the rich. Poor and lriendless
young men, do you ever feel discouraged
Do you sometimes sink to the earth in
despair Suffer not the indulgence Of
these feelings, but renew your energy by
persung the histories and following ic
the footsteps Of those who have gone be.
fore you. You have not more to contend
with than others-and the prospect is
bright and glorious in the far distant fu-
ture. Hope on, and persevere.
A few years ago Luther Severance and
James Harper were bringing water by
the pail-full, to wash type 10 printing
office--they were knocked about here
and there; and scolded to by the older
boys. But they did not sit down and
weep, and declare they would run away
from their masters. No-they stuck to
their trades, year after year, ill they be-
came of age. Where are they now?-
Severance is in Congress, and Harper is
at the head Of the largest publishing house
in America, and was recently elected
Mayor OF the city of New York by large
majority. So much for energy and in
dustry.

NATIONAL PRIZE BANNER.

Der of distinguished Wings from different
States of the Union, held IN this city 10 the
early part of May, were published some
time ago in the lntellgencer, and appriz.
ed the Wings Of the Union that PRlzE

ed, on the 4ih Of March next, 10 that
State which shall at the nexl Presidential
election (this Tally give the larges, propo-
tional increase of lis Wing vote over its
vote Of 1910. Such a prize is surely
worthy 10 be contended for by the Wings
Of the States, and proud Of her .ro-
ply may that State be W hich shah win
il.
We understand that the committee, up
on which are some of the most distinguish
ed Wings in the Union, are taking active
measures 10 procure the necessary funds
and have the Banner prepared in a sly 10
worthy the occasion. We have heard
Of several States which are determined to
make an effort, at least, to win 1t, and
will make an effort with confidence OF
success. Among those we have heard
named are PENNSYLVANIA, MARYLAND,
RHODE ISLAND. New York. New JERSEY,
and llile DELAWARE. We are not sure,
from what we hear, that MISSOURI will
not stand very fair chance for the prize,
which, after ell, may fall to the lot Of some
State from which less is promised than
from those named.
In some States the subscription to tho
Banner is limited to ONE DOLLAR, the
names Of the subscribers to accompany
it.
