From Tho Sunday Telegram.l
CON e.!

There's no need to hurry home;
& No enc waits for me to-day
Lying in the little room,
Waiting there to chide my stay.
All the chill that strikes my heart
When think that yesterday.
Only yesterday, she said,
When l turned me to depart.
''Do not linger by the way,
| shall listen for your tread"
Now-no need to hurry bone;
No one waits fer me to-day.
God be pitiful to me:
In corner of my room
1t is sight most sad to me,
L will greet me when come
From my daily labor home
IT'S the little empty bed,
Where she patiently lay and said
'.Do not linger, shall wait
Sadly, till ] hear the gate
Creak again to let you in"
But to-day-no one will wait.
Can | round the viewless air,
With the keenness of my sight,
To the form that rested there
Through the hours of day OF night?
Can bid it take the shape
Of her forehead and her hair
And the fancied semblance drape
In the robe she used to wearf
l do know the vacant room
Holds the echo of her groan,
And repeats it in my ear
flushed to all but me, alone.
But the corerlet is smooth.
And the pillows all so straight;
Nay, l only know she's gone,
And for me, there's none to wait!

Wnntedi Young Men.

II is said that the market is overstocked
with men seeking employment, and yet there
is always demand for intelligent, reliable
and energetic men to fill the places of trust
and position. But they must be members
not only of the genus "hon,o," but of the
species ''vir;" for such there always open
places wanting TO be filed. Henry Ward
Beecher thus describes the sort which are
wanted
Who arc the men that are needed in this
world? Young men that shall bear bur-
dens. We have enough mullen-stallSs, we
want oak trees! We have enough mush-
rooms, we want timber. We have enough
men who are willing to do anything for the
sake of getting along; but what are they
worth They are bridges for men to walk
over. They are tools. Men use them like
sand paper, to scour with, and then throw
them down and trample them under foot
A young man that does not know how to
say "No;" young man that has not power
to resist the cup when it is presented to
him-what is he but poor, miserable wash
cloth, but rag, dishonored and put to the
vilest uses? Who cares for him, or mouns
over him, but some Christian mother or
Christian minister? But young man that
knows how to say ''No;" that knows how
TO resist evil that knows how 10 give buf-
fet for temptation--is not he hardening him-
self? Is he not making his bones tough
particularly his back bone? He is becom-
ing columnar. And it is such as he that are
sought after in business.
A man says, ''Here is a difficult depart
ment in my establishment, and would pay
almost any price if could find man that
could trust" Says the man whom he ad-
dresses, Il know an impractcable sort Of
fellow | think might suit you. He will stick
to what he thinks is right at all hazards.
You cannot turn him from it by any power
on earth" Says the other man, Il want
lignsmvip man send him to me-" Let it
once be known that man cannot be ca
joled that he will not lie, even for himself
that he will not steal, and has prejudice
against stealing; let il be known that he has
been tried and that there is inward principle
in him, and let us put him up at auction,
and l will get million bid on himl Men
are the things that are most needed in New
York. Why, there is no timber in the mar
ket that is gathered up so greedily as they
are. There is nothing SO much needed in
business, in all departments of it, as moral
principle And yet merchants will teach
young men to lie; and, for the sake of none
tary profit cajole customers. And when, by
and-by, these young men grow up, they be-
come, on their own account, filchers, stealers
and liars. You think that the young men Of
this generation are corrupt and worthless
They are; but the blame rests on your
shoulders You were their schoolmasters.
You taught them to lie and cheat in your
interest; and now they do it in their oMpI
Now your own chickens come home to roost.
Merchants North and South have been rails

without principle. And young man, If he

head teacher; and the other equally as de-
termined that their children shall not be in
structed by Black Republican.
Now, this is all wrong; men seem to for
get that while they are satiating themselves
with prejudice and avarice, their children
are reaping the ripe fruits of their indiscre-
tion and folly, which, when garnered up in
the store-house of the mind, in due time,
will be ready to be scattered broadcast
among the people. This state of affairs is
to be deprecated; but simply deprecating
them will not work out our immediate OBJ

Mr.. Bannan, editor of the Pottsyile (Pa.)
Miners Journai, who was in Europe du-
ring last summer, gives the following as the
wages paid in the coal mining districts of
England:
The wages paid at the iron works and
coal mines in the Black District between
Birmingham and Wolverhampton, are as
follows:
Puddlcrs receive los. for pudding ton
of iron, out of which they pay 3s. to the as
sistant leaving IS for pudding ton.
Laborers receive from IS. Cd, which is
the common price for laboreIs in England,
to 3s AT iron works. The highest price ever
paid at Bagnall's iron works for laborers at
any time was 3s. Cd. per day.
Miners working 10 hours receive 5s. Cd.
per day. Laborers working in the mines
for ~ hours receive 4s I'd. per day brick
layers 5s. per day, carpenters is. Cd. to IS.
per day, and shoemakers Is. to IS. per day.
Farm laborcrs receive from IS. to l2s. a
week, and fin themselves. They have also
to pay from Is. to 2s. week for rent of
cottage. Shepherds and gardners receive
from l2s. to l6s per week. There are farm
laborcrs who receive in the sumc portions
of England as low as IS. per week, $l.75 in
gold, out of which they have to find them
selves and pay shilling Il week rent for
cottage. The farm laborers always have a
little garden attached to the cottage which
gives them some vegetables, and they also
have the gleanings of the fields for proven
der for a pig. The common laborers who
receive G2 cents in gold day, say that the
farm laborers, with the perquisites they get,
are about as well off as they are. Wages
are higher in England than they are in any
country in Europe.
These are the wages paid in England, and
those interested can compare them with
the wages paid here.
While mechanics and aborers are receiv-
ing much higher wages here than they are
in England, miners at many of our collicries
are receiving less wages this winter than
they are in England, taking into considera-
tion the higher prices of living here.
| Food which enters largely INTO the con-
| sumption of the working man in England,
| taking more than two-thirds of his wages,
| is but shade lower than it is in the United
States-poultry and game are higher in Eng
| land-manufactures of every descripiion'art
full onc-third lower. A large portion of the
working men in England cannot consume
meat more than once or twice week. The
rations of the common soldier in Englant
are far superior to that of the working man
and consequently those fond of good living
enlist.
The rent of land ranges from lGs to G6 pc
acre, according to location and quality. Tn,
average rental of England is about f2 pc
acre.
