Young men, go to work! There is no
time to idle now. You must carve out
your own fortune. You have no inner
itance on which to depend. You must
reconstruct your own fortunes by indus
try and perseverance, and toll. Labor
is honorable, and the ignoble are those
who will not work. Get you a home.
Fence a field, and pillow it, and plant it,
and gather around you the comforts of
home. And when you have made a
character for industry and thrift, ask
some young lady to share your home
with you. We would say to every young
lady, mark these young men who are
lounging around, attempting to live by
their wits, or on the interest of their
debts; and when they ask you to share
the fortunes of life with them, just let
them pass on. No young lady can con-
sent to marry young man without bus.
