we copy the following striking sentiments
upon the subject Of just and equal legislation
from the late message Of Gov. Wright of New
York:
"That legislation which equalizes the bene.
hts and burdens of government extends the
same encouragement to the enterprise and in.
dustry OF all in every situation and employment,
and attempts to secure no special privileges 10

ly secured to themselves. On the contrary at.
tempts to confer favors by law upon classes or
localities, produce competition destructive to
profitable industry; strife not to earn, but to
gain the earnings Of others. Such policy may
accumulate wealth in a few hands more rapidly
than equal Legislation, and may TO the superb
clal observer. present the greater show Of pros.
perity, but the appearance lie artificial and delu.

GOOD ADVICE TO YOUNG WOMEN


Trust not to uncertain riches, bu, prepare
yourselves for every emergency in life. Learn
to work and be not dependent on servants TO
make your bread; sweep your floors, and darn
your own stockings. Above all, do no. esteem
leo lightly those honorable young men who sus.
tain themselves aud their aged parents by the
work of their own hands while you caress, and
receive into your company those lazy, idle
popinjays, who never lift finger to help them
selves, as long as they cau keep body and soul
together, and get funds sufficient to live in fash
ion. If you are wise you will look at this sub
ject in the light that we do; and when you are
Old enough to become wives, you will prefer the
honest mechanic, with not cent to commence
life to the fashionable loafer, with capital OF
ten thousand dollars. Whenever we hear re
marked, 'Such young lady has married for.
tune" we always tremble for her future pros
perlly. Riches left to children by wealthy pa.
rents turns out to be curse instead of a bless.
ing. Young women, remember this, and instead
of sounding the purses of your lovers and exam.
ing the cut OF their coa,s, look into their habits
and their hears Mark if they have trades,
and can depend upon themseves-see that they
have minds which will lead them TO look above
butte rfy existence. Talk not of the beauti.
full white skin and the soft delicate hand, the
splendid form and the fine appearance of the
young gentleman. Let not these foolish consid.
eratlons engross your thoughts
