This is common phrase In Paris, France,
aud pregnant with meaning. 1t has been
said by some philosopher that all the crimes
of man begin with the vagraney of childhood.
In perambulating the streets of our city, one
may see hundreds upon hundreds of boys,
from twelve to twenty years of age, who have
nothing TO do but to loaf round, and spend
their time in dleness. 1t is sad TO witness
such spectacle in times like these, when the
farmers in our vicinity, aud all over the coun-
try, are much in want Of labor The war has
drawn away large numbers who once Guilt
waited the soil and belong to the producing
classes. Such laborers make the substantial
riches Of any country. 1t is 4" Mother Earth"
that gives us focd.
Now hundreds of these boys in our city
might find profitable employment among our
farmers, who would be glad to hire them and
pay them good wages. And how much bet
ter such employment would be for the boys,
for their parents and for the country. Seed
time has arrived, and our farmers are desti-
tute of their usual force. There never has
been time in the history of our country
when it was more necessary to cultivate the
earth, aud make it yield an increase, than
now.
II appears to US that some enterprising
person in our city, might gather large num-
Der of boys who would be willing TO go into
the country and labor upon the farms this
season. Provided such help were found here,
and notice given through our public Journals
our farmers would gladly avail themselves of
it, and furnish profitable work to hundreds
who are now living in idleness. We throw
out the hint hoping it may induce some one
or more to interest themselves in the work
and prosecute it with effect.
