which wi III soon ovestake many of the young
men Of Davenport il they do not forsake their
evil ways. and turn into the paths Of rectitude.
We have in our city many very fine young
men who have received liberal educations,
have studied some one Of the professions and
who could take prominent positions in society,
il they would but reform aud set themselves at
work to gain reputation and an honorable
name. The course these young men are now
pursuing will most assur"dly lead them to des-
tsuctioD, and they must know ii. Let an OBJ.
serving man walk along our streets in the
morning between nine and ten O'Clock, or drop
into the offices and places Of business OF these
young men, and he will witness many painful
sights. He will see bloated faces, red and
blood-shot eyes. forms trembling as with ague
and altogether, set Of the most miserable ob.
jects he ever had the misfortune t, look upon
These poor fellows spend large portion of the
morning hours in endeavoring to cool off their
parched and burning stomschs, with copiods
draughts of water, but the fire will not be sub

heaped in the furnace. In the evening they

the streets, rendering night hideous Every
few days some one or two of them are brought
up standing in the courts Of justice. and are
either fined or sent to Jail. Their regulations
are thus blasted, and they themselves degra.

We think it is high time come strenuous
measures were taken to turn these young meu
from their present course They are certainly
going to the devil very fast, ard unless some
check is put upon them, they will reach there
in q very short time. Let all persons hav.
ing any influence with these young men la
Dor with them. and endeavor to turn them
from the evil Of their ways.
