For The Register.

For the Register
Mr.. Editor.-You favored this village
sometime since with an article on Idle
men and boys. very much admired the
truth and wholesome application of your
remarks. Will you not from time TO
time continue TO attempt something ioT
this unfortunate class who occupy store
boxes and tipping house chairs ard steps.
The worst oi it is that "an idle mans
head is the devils work shop There
is probably not one case in hundred in
which an idle man or boy has not become
the corrupted of others. A man had bet
ter work for nothing than not work al all.
We onre saw an eXample lthls even III
Shepherdstown-a man working for some
days or weeks Without wages, rather than
sci the bad example Of fellow about
town with nothing to do. But all can
find something TO do which will keep
them out If NE streets, or from loafing
anywhere.
There is much yet to be learned which
is worth their knowing, and which would
take them some years to acquire. BY the
industrious use Of lime these ldlers might
become well educated men, ready to oc-
cupy many parts of usefulness, and honor
and profit. Its great error for man
to imagine that his time is bis own, which
he can do with as he pIeases. 1t Is 90
criminal 10 waste ii as Il is for man 10
destroy his health or life. Oar town needs
nothing but industry, Grugalily, and liber
atty, The first two in order TO the last 10
put i, upon such basis Of responsibility
as might cause every citizen TO be proud
Of lis character. Very truly, yours,
