Thurlow Weeds Advice to Young Men

1uuIIUW w ecu AUVlCo 10 1Oung Men,
1t was wise law of the ancient Jews
that the sons of even the wcalthiest men
: should be made to serve apprenticeship to
some useful occupation, so that In case of
reverse of fortune, they nil sht have some
thing to fall back upon" The same
exists In Turkey, where every man even
the Sultan himself, must learn a trade
How fortunate would it be now, had it
been law in this country. " Would to
God L had trade" is the cry of thou
sands of returned soldiers North and
South, who find themselves ruined in
pocket, with no immediate prospect of
gaining livelihood 1t should teach
parents that whatever else they NAV give
their sons, they should give them a trade.
These words Of wisdom should be writ
ten in letters of gold and made familiar
to every head of family. One of the
social evils of our day-perhaps the great
est-is that so few of our sons are appren-
ticed to trades. With trade, all young
men can commence the " battle of life"
with prospect, if industrious and frugal,
of acquiring either a fortune or compe-
tency. A trade is capital, with which a
young man commences business. After
a few years of industry, a mechanic if he
has ability for other occupations, he can
easily adapt himself to the change DIR.
Franklin was printer. The late Daniel
Cady was a shoemaker. Professor Henry
was a silversmth.
Parents in moderate circumstances, or
even in prosperous business, who refuse or
neglect to give their sons trades, doom
the most of them to life of dependence
a reliance upon clerkships, at the best,
is precarious. Still more precarious is
the life which so many live of depend
ence upon Office This, whether seekers
of high or low Office, is the last fate to
which a thoughtful parent should subject
son. But, generally, the worst thing
that can happen to this class is success
Once smitten with tasts for Office, all le-
gitimate occupations become irksome-
The man, old or young, who gets into Of
flee, and as inevitable corollary, gets out,
is untitled for other employment for life.
1t is rare indeed, that man who has
been a few years in Office ever settles, or
endeavors to settle down to labor 1t is
painful, beyond expression, to see the
miserable battalions of idle men who be-
leauger all the public Offices for employ
ment. And this in a country, of all 9TH
ers, where labor is not only in request,
but is largely remunerative, and where
lands teeming with wealth, invites labor,
and offers homesteads IN. y Com.

Advancement of Workinemen

Always honor a man who ennobles his
calling, whatever it may be. franklin
made 1t nobler and easier for men to be
printers In all time to come because he
remained printer. | presume you have
all heard of the Dowse Library. 1t, with
fine collection of paintings, was once
the property of an old tanner, who deter
mined that his friends and neighbors
should know that he could be a man of
taste, scholar, a man of culture-tanner
that he was. So he collected his books.
few at time, and what is more to the
point he read them. And being a taa-
ner, he had naturally taste in the line
OF leather, so he waited patiently Until he
could have them all bound as he wished.
And as he grew older be became very
wealthy, and had before he died the best
library of any one in that section of the
country.
When | go to Boston, whatever else [
fail to see, L always go to the Antheneum,
and pay nay respects to that old library.
1t may be true that the ten thousands
are more plenty. There are not so many
geniuses and great men, but there are
vastly more true men, worthy men, intel
ligent men than ever before. Here we
are jealous of the few, and prominence is
not so readily granted to the ambitious as
where the average Of society is low.
The tendencies of our time are far
higher and better than formerly. The
natural temptations remain, to be sure
but it seems to me that in all industrial
and professional callings there is purer,
more high ambition than formerly. Vir-
tue is more honored, dissipation is repro
bated and Christian character is far
more common among young men than in
my boyhood. Twenty years ago, if one
should speak in public assemblage, it would
be taken for granted that he was clergy
man, lawyer, or at least professor; but
now it is not uncommon to hear a man
talk intelligently and interestingly %
matters of law, Of ethics, of various sub
jects, whose hands are yet hard from the
plow, whose skin is yet grimed with the
dust of the forge.
Labor is honorable among us, idleness
dishonorable. Men will be free in Eu-
rope as soon as the masses are intelligent
and moral-not before. Make much then
of manhood; make its wrists too long for
manacles, Its hand to strong for prisons.
Our young men are those to whom we
must look for help. They are stronger
to-day among US than ever. They are
stronger for war, they are stronger too
for good. They may help society in ma
ny ways They may help by an ambition
of intelligence rather than of pleasure
Let them read, study, educate themselves,
thereby making true men for the State,
true men for their calling, true men upon
whose wit and wisdom the country can
rely in time of trouble or embarrassment.
They may help by redeeming their oecu-
pations from vulgarizing tendencies A
trade is what man sees fit to make it-not
what other men think best to call it
They may help by giving men power
not to escape from certain callings, but to
ennoble them.

The Lords PRAYER

Did you ever think, short though it is,
how much there is in it? Oh, it is beau
tiful! Like diamond in the crown of
a queen, it unites thousand sparkling
gems in one.
1t teaches all of US, every one of US, to
look to God as our parent" Our Fa-
ther."
1t prompts US to raise our thoughts and
desires above the earth" Who art in
heaven"
1t tells us that we must reverence our
heavenly Father -'' Hallowed be thy
name"
1t breathes the saints reward" Thy
kingdom come"
And a submissive, obedient spirit
Thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven"
And a dependent, trusting spirit =
f" Give us this day our daily bread"
And a forgiving spirit" Forgive us
our tresspasses as we forgive those that
tresspass against u.s."
And cautious spirit" Deliver us
from evil"
And, last Of ALL an adoring spirit
For thine is the kingdom, and the pow
or and glory, forever and ever. Amen"

An interesting little boy aged eight
years, son of Mr.. David Bailie, went into
the store of Geo. Blake & Co, dealers in
Sewing Machines, No. 322 Lackawanna
avenue, Scranton, on Wednesday even

What transpired after that We prefer to
narrate, as near as We can, as it was told
US by the child and his parents who are
intelligent, pious, and respectable people:
lie said he took two balls from a box,
and was going to show them to an older
playmate to know which one was the kind
to get. George Blake, or clerk by the
name OF Holegate saw him with the balls,
and Blake took them from him cuffed
and shook him very hard, dragged him
down cellar where it was very dark and
shut him up in a stone hole, and Blake
told him if he cried he would put stick
In his mouth. He said he begged and
asked them to let him go home aud his
father would pay for the ball 1t was

not to-Eet the rats eat me up, and guess

This is the substance of the child's.
statement
Mr- Bailie searched for the lost child
till midnight. Mrs. Bailie, very ner-
vous woman, was nearly crazed on account
of her Charles absence, and at four
o'clock the next morning was searching
for him About FIVE o'clock he crawled
out of his prison through the coal hole in
the side walk and started for home His
mother saw him coming down the avenue,
and called him. He seemed bewidered
and did not know her. She spoke TO him
again when he recognized her, and with
cry OF agony sunk to the ground, the
effect Of exhaustion and fright She took
her pale and trembling child all covered
with mud and filth aud carried him into
the house, and after being washed, warm
ed and the proper restOratives admins
tered, he became calm enough to tell his
terrible suferings alone in stone vault
during the long and dreary hours of that
fearful night:
We shall make no comments, for if the
child's tale is true they are not needed
if untrue, the legal prosecution about be-
ing commenced against George Blake
and his man Holegate will bring the facts
to light and exonerate the parties. But
we will close with the remark made to us
by the father: "My son is subject to

The Massacre of Fort Phil Kearney.

The following account of the Fort Phil
Kearney massacre is taken from a pri-
vate letter of Sergeant of the Second
Cavalry to a friend in Louisville:
Fort PHILIP KEARYEY, DAKoTAH}
TERRITORY, Jan 81, 1897.
My DEAR FRIEND Since writing you
my last communication from Fort Lara
ME, D. T., there has occurred one of
those terrible and appalling casualties to
human life that makes the heart stand
still and benumb the faculties with hor-
ror. On New Years evening, and while
enjoying the pleasure of a military ball
a scout from this post fort Phil. Kear-
ney, d. I. J came dashing up to Gen. J. J.
Palmer's quarters, with dispatch from
Gen. Darlington, that the Indians had
massacred ninety-fOur men and officers
of his command.
Many present were the personal friends
of the slaughtered men and officers.
Next day we were ordered to proceed to
the scene Of bloodshed forthwith. Does
any citizen or soldier, unacquainted with
a Winter in the Rocky Mountains,
know even remotely, the literal signifi-
canoe of that order to march $50 miles
in the depth of Winter to leave good
quarters and comfortable fires for the
bleak mountain crest, the snow-drifted
gulches and gullies, the abrupt preci-
pices and Obstructed canons We
started from Fort Laramie on the Sd Of
January, and after sixteen interminable
days and nights on the route, arrived at
this post. To describe that march would
be simply impossible. Suffice to say,
that fifty or sixty men and officers had
their fingers. ears and feet badly frozen,
so much SO that anputation will be nee
essary in many cases. 1t took us two

GIVE NATURE A LIFT.

People expect too much Of Nature. They
trihe with their health and their constitutions,
and then are surprised that they tall sick.
The pressure of constant mental or bodily
labor, upon the animal powers, is tremendous.
Very few systems and constitutions can bearup
against this pressure unassisted. Add to this
the unhealthy influences which Turk unseen in
the air We breathe, the water we drink, the las
situde produced at this season by the change
from the rigOr of Winter to the warmth of
Spring, and it would seem to require almost
sup0rhuman visor to keep in perfect health
without reinforcing the physical energies.
But how reinforce them2 Certainly not with
adulterated stmulants. There is no poison in
the outer air, or in the atmosphere of furnace
heated rooms, or workshops, or factories, SO
pernicious as those deadly burning fluids.
Why use them, when
