Cur old friends, and former partners, Mr..

men.
Mr.. s. s. L'HoxxEDrEu made to the patron. q,
the Gazette and the public modest and apDro-
pirate parting address. We quote 'front.':
II is now twenty-seven years, since, as New.
Boy, he first made their acquaintance. N,

them to take him into partnership at the age AZ

alt Is now twenty-seven years, since, as N.,,,
Boy ne made their acquaintance." How di,se,
this mention Of his first humble start, n.
hesitation mars its force, no false pride Is...n.
its value. 'Six years Of close application. =,
an apprentice, gave him favor with his emDlov.
ersa nd induced them to take him into partnersh;.
at the age Of twenty-ons." How simple this n,,
ration! Mr.. L'HoNnkDIEU refers to his lo,.l,.-
lot, and his higher position. with the same pI.,.
ness and mOdesty. Well, he tOiled hard az
faithfully, and won success Wealth
crowned his labOrs; bat 1t was the fidelity -
the news-bOy-the intelligent Industry or a.
apprentice-acted out in the life of the M.
which has made his character alike hono-,l1|
and enviable.
WequOte again from Mr.. L'Hommsdi-,,.

The PrOPrietors Of the Gazette, wha,t ,h.v

Mr.. L'Hommedieu. Some Of them are die.

speaks Of the ''PrOPrietOrs'' Of tbs Gazette .iR-

eheerfully give the credit Of this good work
We cannot estimate the blessings which aOv
from "right dealing with apprentices BY en-
ployers. When they are just, they do society {.
benefit which is perPetuated from generation to

which any man might be proud.
One other view struck us on reading Mr.. l.
Hommldieu's address view which We would
Especially urge upon our friends Of the South
We may see here what labor can accomplish.
and how much it is honored in itself. How
many young men in Kentucky would be anger

and only he, is a man, who can lay night hold Of.

get at the true source Of human power or hu-

fully developed in his manhood.
May our young men, rich and poor, bear in
mind this, and all similar examples. and realize
that he who would be successful, good, or great,
must LABOR and RESPECT LABOR.
