Plain Truth.

II is painful, as we walk along the streets
Of our city, to see so many idle young men
We have inquired of many who have travelled
within the past twelve months, and they have
informed us that there are more oilers to be
seen in Norfolk, than in almost any other
place of its size in the country-and we ma
turally ask ourselves, why is this? ae
1t was to be expected, upon the disbanding
of large army, that many young soldiers
would, ON their return, be out of employment
for some weeks or even months. 1t has been
now nearly sixteen months since most of our
boys" returned, and many Of them are still
to be seen in crowds about the hotels, and
Longing on the streets
We have heard many of them say, 1--WE
have tried to get situations and can't" cor
we would work if we could get anything to
Ito" and other expressions of like meaning;
that 49, if such excuses for idleness have any
meaning at all. 5f1 t4GJk oAa
We fear that if we could get at the truth,
these young gentlemen have not been trying
very hard to get into business. A friend met
young man few days ago, and asked him
what he was doing? The reply was, did
try to get into Mr.. IS store, and also into
MIR. IS counting-room; but the former Of
Tered me two hundred dollars, and the latter
two hundred and forty, and could not starve
on such wages as those. Such stingy en-
p"yers will never get me to work .or them
Tor nothing" =. sa2me .sai' li
- NOW this thoughtless young man did not
.eaect how he was injuring his own charac-
99r ny telling these things to his own hurt.
ne ald not see that starving" 'on two hum
urea and forty dollars was much more re-
spectacle than eating out of house and home
s s relative hardly able to support his own
isnilly' 1t seems to us that had he possess
Iu any independence whatever, he would
nave worked gladly for one hundred dollars
ysar, rather than have eaten the bread of
dependence. siass sd
Inc truth was, he thought he was an in
aepehdent man. but he lacked its spirit;
e'Se he would have shrunk from idleness :;
nc would have sooner worked for five dollars
month and lived on bread and water in a
of another, ~
we will suppose, however, that situations
b ne as scarce here as these idle people would
lave us believe what prevents. them from
sung elsewhere and trying their fortunes
or! nut some of them might say "we cant get
@"ay;-we haven't the means" Haven'tyou

troublesome customer, was we are informed,

ELEVEN VALUABLE BUILDING LOTS FOR
SALE. ff is..i--f
Owing to the great and increasing demand for
stores, Offices, and Dwelling Houses.
In the central part of the city, the owner has
been induced to offer for sale
THAT VALUABLE UNIMPROVED PIECE OF
PROPERTY AT THE CORNER OF MAIN
AND NEBRASKA STREETS, ...lt
On which the old City Hall and Jail formerly
stood.
This property stands next to the centre Of bust
ness in the city, and is so located as of necessity
it must Immediately be brought into requisition
for business purposes in view of the rapidly i'm
proving condition of the city, and consequent ex-
tension of st res for the accommodation of trade.
The location of this property is
Midway between the Market House and
the Depot of the Norfolk and
Petersburg Railroad, .III

Which the increasing business of the city already
calls loudly for. A Hotel built ON this entire
property could be arranged to have Lpt H.
TWO FINE STORES ON MAIN STREET
AND THE HOTEL ENTRANCE,
Besides Eight or Ten Stores on Ne
braska street, .di l,a.U.
All of which could be rented at once, so great is
the demand for business locations.
If not sold entire, the property will be divided
of into eleven Building Lots of rs feet front EACH
and sold on terms to suit purchasers. The Lots
fronting on Main street will extend back 100 fee5,
ard those on Nebraska street extend back from

The owner deems it unnecessary to say anything
here IN regard to the rapidly increasing value OF
this property. Every one familiar to the urgent
demand which already exists for Stores, offices,
and Dwellings must at once see its desirability.

the feet God gave you to walk with, by which
you could foot II, till you could get some
place where you could earn your salt; or could
you not work your passage by sea tosome part
of the country where you could 40 something
for Yourselves? This has been done by needy
Young men before, and they have succeeded
in the world:-a finale which we fear VIII
hardly be reached by those who are TOO '"-
doent to try the experiment ...-
But if there is something so very attractive
in this region, that you cannot leave IL, you
certainly can walk out into the adjoining
counties. and ask the first farmer that you see
If he will not employ you. You would not
have to ask many; for they would quickly
give YOU work, at good wages too. We know
of several of our best young men, who before
the war, had been pampered IN luxury, but
who vet have had the manliness to 60 to work
at the plough's tail. Are those lounglng
at street-corners, better tbaa those young
men, either in education, family, or social
position?
But many of you need not go out of Nor
folk. Any young man can get "a position at
the work bench of the carpenter, or sling the
sledge hammer of the blacksmith OF ma
chniSt. 5.
Most of these people say, 1--WE have no turn
for mechanic" meaning of which is,
1--WE are too lazy" Some of them, too, think
that there is something degrading in work
ing at a trade las if the occupation Of
CHRIST and st. PAUL, who were both me-
chanics, could be degrading to any man
whatever
We may ask these trainers Of excuses for
their i1leness, 'fare there not young men in
the work shops of Norfolk, who are as respec-
able as you, look at them in any light you
please ~ We can moreover inform these
people that every industrious young mechan-
c stands far higher in the opinion of every
man of sense, than do those who won't work
to support themselves.
This aziness and foolish pride will have to
be rooted out from: among US. Those who
are such fine gentlemen that they cannot
work, must be left to suffer.
A few days passed on an empty stomach
will quickly make them do something to sup
port themselves. Those who out of a false
sentiment countenance them in idleness, are
doing great injury to them and to the COM
munity in which they live.
The habits of ideness engendered by good
circumstances before the war, or by the irreg-
ular life of a camp must be shaken off. We
must remember that the world has taken a
tu,n-round in the last six years. and that if
men wish to keep up now, they must work,
and work hard too. ..H34Gu
We hope that these few plain reflections
plain but not harsh-may be of some good
effect, and that they may aid in bringing
about an order of things more consonant
with our present condition. We hope that
the time is not far distant when all our young
men may be induced to work if not by re-
Election at least by public opinion,
