IDLE YOUNG MEN ATruE SoUrH

Idle DUNG Nj EN- AT THE SOUTH
The Lynchburg Virginian says
"Thcre are vast numbers of young
men in the South living in idleness
which we regret very much to see.
This, says cot nporary, was toler-
able when they possessed fortunes,
but now that M It of them are pen
niless, it is an evil ofvast magnitude.
We know that in many eases these
young men would be glad to got
work-of o certain kind. They
would practice law or medicine, or
engage in mercantile pursuits, or
manage :. farm, or get up and deliv-
er lecture but finding no opening
in these occupations, they are lying
on their oars and doing nothing, The
young men Of the South must come
down to manual labor-they must
come to the conclusion that honest
work with the hands is better than
no work at all.
