words OF counsel . Youna Men.

The old Cincinnati Gazette, under the head
ing of "a Word to Young Men-How to Be
come Rich "-utters the following timely
teachings Of wisdom, worthy to be read and
treasured by the great class Of persons to
whom they are specially addressed:

be habitually disregarded without destroying
all good hope Of success.
Few young men, we fear, feel as they should

and in the best possible manner, their present

lead to something better, and that quite as

charge of inferior duties that more important
ones can be reached; and young men, instead
Of repining and becoming restless because
they must begin life in the low places, should
