Adding no brightness to it,-ars like stars

Adding no brightness to it--are like stars
Seen in the ocean-that were never there
But for the bright originals in heaven"
Who that survey American society
thoughtfully does MOI observe he class
which commands the highesi privilege,
there is con,emptuous disregard of the ef-
fective arts. a disregard which allows
many a young man 10 die loafer and
gambler, who would have honored bis
name, end done the State good service as
an artisan. This deplorable sentiment
does not have its origin slngly in an aris-
tocratic feeling nourished by the purse
proud; il NAV be traced to the want of
high enough regard of their cupstions
among workingmen, themselves.

generation spring those on whom the ne
cessity of daily toll for daily bread 10 not

es!s, moi Of tender hearted care, so strictly
guard their dear boys and girls from what
they deem their own hard lot, that he
Youngsters are taugh, to be proudly effem-
mate. Here lies the secret which solves
the mystery why so few Of the sons Of
the rich men Of our day, are competent
to fiIl honoraby the high places their faith
ers occupied.
Now, the sum Of these reflections is
that the sons Of working men Of 10 day,
who canno, bring up their boys in idlenesa
will occupy the posts of trust and prof.
to which the idly reared may fall heir,
and ,ha, the means Of correcting the evils
which render our best society frivolous,
selfish and oppressive, is within the grasp
