Hours OTEcris.

In one Of his beautiful lectures, George
S. Hillard thus depicts the perils of young
men in the great cities. Unhnppily it is
equally applicable to lesser towns; and If
we had the ability, we would bring the
subject home TO the young men who read
the Telegraph with a power that would
make the impression indelible. If youth,
with its exuberant impulses and gushing
sympathies could but realize what the eX-
perience Of later years will teach, when 1t
will be, in many cases, to late to retrieve
the past, how many would be saved from
the whirlpool which engulf5 its thousands
yearly, to become the ornaments of so
ciety and the benefactors Of their race.
He says:
TO young man away from home,
friendless and forlorn i'll great city. the
hours Of peril are between sunset and bed
time, for the moon and the stars see more
evil in single hour, than the sun III his
whole days circuit. The poets visions of
evening are all composed Of soothing and
tender images. 1t brings the wanderer to
his home, the child to its mothers arms,
the OK to his stall, and the weary laborer
to his rest. Bu; the gentle hearted youth
who is thrown upon the rocks "f pltiless
city, and stands homeless amid a thou
sand homes, the approach of evening
brings with il an aching sense of loneliness
and desoa!ion, which comes down upon
the spirit like darkness upon the earth. In
this mood his best impulses become a
snare to him, and he is led astIay because
he is social, a6ectionatc, sympathetic and
warm hearted. If there be young man
thus ciruumstnnccd, within the sound Of
my voice, let me say to him that books are
friends of the friendless, and that library
is the home of the homeless. A taste for
reading will always carry you into the best
possible company, and enable you to con
verse with men who will instruct you by
their wisdom and charm you by their wit;
who vii! soothe you when fretted, refresh
you when weary, council you when per-
picked, and sympatlise with you at all
times. Evil spirits, in the middle ages,
were exercised and driven away by the bell,
book and candle--you want but two OF
these ugemts-the book and the candle"

as to the fare furnished, he .faceiously
