TON G8EgFiN---G00D ADVICE.

"Ahnut three years ago, young
man presented himself,o Mr.. Corwin
for Il clerkship. Thrice was he re-
fused, aud sill lie male a fourth effort.

mi,ation awakened u friendly interest
in his welfare, and the Secretary ad-
viscd him in the strongest possible
terms, to abandon his purpose, and 60
to the West, if he could do better o"t-
side tho departments. My Young
friend" said he, "go to the North
West, buy lGC acres Of government
lunds-orii yon have not the money
to purchase, squat on it; get You an
axe aud ma,tock. put up u log cabin
f,r your habita,ion, and raise little
corn and potatoes; keep your con
science clear, aud live like Il freeman,
your own master, with no one to give
you orders, and wirhou! dependence
upon auybndy. Do that and you will
