= An exchange paperue cannot call to mind
the name gives utterance to the subjoined
truthful sentiments:
In this country no young man need be unemployed.
Wealth and responsibility conditions to which he may
attain He has right to be Ignorant he has time
to be Vicious; and generally speaking no man has right
to be poor IN
There is much in the foregoing, over which
all young men should ponder. In this favored
country, not one Of them, with health and q fair
share Of intellect, should be unemployed, nor
will any remain unemployed without they are
nnmitigatedly lazy er incidentally vicious
Employment, at fair rates Of remuneration, il
within the reachsof every industrious young
man. The almost countless channels Of industry
offer tempting Inducements on every hand. Iii
| fact, the demand for labor is greater than tho
supply; and consequently, prices have advanced
beyond all former precedent The agricultural
districts, the manufacturing districts, the mi
ming districts, the multiplied trades and avoca-
tions, the marts where commerce reigns the
undisputed king, the mighty West, and even The
illimitable domains of old ocean, call continually
for labor-labor- labor. The manifestations Of
the demand are SO numerous that no one need
be without employment. There is business for
every capacity-fro the plowman and day
laborer to the worker in finest mechanism,
requiring the greatest skill, experience and
ability. The most costly manufactures and the
most delicate fabrications Of art and SCIENCE
all hold out Inducements to labor, competence
and assiduity IA
But, while all Of these, and many more We
could name, are admitted facts, we are very free
to say that too mayfair too many-young
men seek the crowded city for employment
when they should have remained in the country,
where tina chances for making money, retaining
their native independence Of thought and d.
ton, their health, good habits and respecta-
bility, are much more numerous than in the
thronged metropolis. F
Allured by enticing tales of city life, city
pleasures, and the prospects which the city holds
out for speedy advancement to fame and for-
tune, hundreds, in fact thousands, of honest and
ingenious youths, annually repair to the great
whirlpools Of trade in hopes Of bettering their
condition. They are pleased on arrival. The
novelties delight them. They present their let
ters, are politely received, snd are oyerioyed
a few day pass away satisfactorily. They jail
again, and are less cordially greeted. Business,
like time and tide, waits FOR no man. Thus,
days grow into weeks and weeks into months.
until the hopeful young man, who arrived il
town with such joyous anticipations, becomes
detected, dispirited, and as his means Of support
gradually waste away, becomes desperate, reck.
less and oftentimes goes to Unavoidable de-
struction Such, in hundreds Of GASES, has
been the fate Of those who would, under other
circumstances. have been useful, Intelligent Ind
honorable citizens.
Better, Il thousand fold, have remained in the
country, where the inyigorating breezes invite
TO health, and where the employments are IL =
most genial character, than tempt the hazards
Of the fierce tide Of competition which eyery
man has to brave when lie enters a commercial
metropolis. In the one case, there is safety, Sc,
curity and comparative independence ID the
other, exhausting and never ending toll, with
out any certainty whatever.
