| Experience continually contradicts the notion
that poor young man cannot rise. If we look
over the list OF rich men in Philadelphia, saws
the Ledger, we lind that nearly all of them be-
gan life worth little or nothing Girard was a
poor boy. The late Mr.. Rdgway went to PHI
| adelphia a country lad, almost penniless. What
| is true otPhiladepha is true, also, of New York
and Boston. Aston began with nothing. Alb
bot Lawrence had only a pair OF stout hands,
willing heart, and a good character, for his
| original capitol. To any person familiar with
the millionaires of the United States, Il SEQ e of
similar examples will occur. On the other hand,
the sons of rich men, who began life with the
capital which so many poor young men coyet,
frequently die beggars. 1t would probably not
be going TOO FAR to say that large majority of
such monied individuals either fail right out or
gradually eat up the capital with which they
commenced their career. And the reason is
plain. Brought up in expensive habits, they
spend entirely too much. Educated with high
notions OF personal Importance, they will not, as
they phrase it, "stoop" to hard work, Is it as
tonishlng, therefore, that they are passed in the
race OF life by others with less capital originally.
but more generally, thrift, and industry? For
these virtues, after ALL are worth more than
money. They make money, in fact. Nay, after
it is made they enabs. the possessor to keep it,
winch most rich men pronounce to be more diff
cult than the making The young man who
begins life with resolution always to Law by
part Of his income, is sure, even without extra
ordinary ability, gradually to acquire sufficency
especially as habits of economy, which the reso-
luton renders necessary, will make that a com.

The independent Press.

There seems to be an Impression abroad
among political editors that rnen are politicians
hrst, Tools next, and last of all men OF business
mechanics, merchants, professional men and
what not The fact is, that the very reverse is
the true order. Men are first merchants me-
chanics. professional men, farmers and so forth
-next, some are fools; and of these latter. a
few are politicians. It is in the first capacity
that they subscribe to newspapers Men take
the Journal which suits them best in their pri-
sate capacity; which contains the most news
the most advertisements, and which meets the
most eyes; and furthermore, which is in the habit
OF telling them the truth about politics.
Journalism in the United States is rapdly
passing the stage OF party papers There are
party papers still in various parts OF the country.
and very ridiculous affairs some of them seem -
But they are going down; no one win buy them :;
their doom is sealed. But the independent nress
has not yet reached it iull deveiopement. II is
only IN transition state, its influence is yet i'm

All In Fun.

The Richmond Enquirer makes the plea that
its late articles in favor OF the revival OF the AZ
rlcan slave trade were all in fun. We shall prob
apiy next learn that all the late dsunion plots
ana naransues OF Wise, Toombs, sidel, Mason,
Cingham, and such, were all in tun.that The
assault OF Brooks upon Sumner was all in fun
that the doings of the Border Ruffians, under
poor Fierce, in Kansas, have all been in fun
and that the whole of the late despotic terrorism
OF the South, and the threats and plots of the
terocious disunionists and treasury robbers. are
but the various parts of broad and amusing
joke Perhaps we shall have change in fun in
month or two. Our season of fun will COM
mence with the Inauguration. Our Southern
blood and thunder chaps have had their share.
