AIMLEss EDUCATION. Here is the rich
mans son, who has been educated at great
expense and pains, and who has graduated
from college, and has come out q gentleman
He has studied not with view of fitting
himself for any avocation in life, but with a
view of being gentleman. He reads not
for the sake of knowing anything, but for
the sake of being gentlemen Soon his
father breaks down; and he, when he is
about twenty-five years old, finds himself
poor mans son, and dependent on his own
exertions. And he says to himself, "What
shall do for living?" He asks his feet,
and his feet say, Il do not know" He
asks his hands, and they say, Il do not
know" He asks his head, and it says,
Il never learnt anything about how he got
a living" There is but one man that can
befriend this poor wretch, and that is the
sexton, Could anything be more useless
than such aperson Can there be anything
more pitiable than such histories? And yet
they are happening every day.

WHAT EVERY YOUNG MAN SHOULD Do
l. Every young man should make the most
of himself. Intellectually, morally, socially
and physically.
2 He should depend upon his own efforts
to accomplish these results.
g. He should be willing to take advice
from those competent to give it, and to fol
low such advice, until his own judgment or
convictions, properly founded, should other
wise direct
4. Ii he is fortunate enough to have a
rich and indulgent father, he must do the
best he can under the circumstances, which
will be to conduct himself very much as
though he had not these obstacles to over,
come
5. He should remember that young men,
if they live, grow old, and that the habits Of
youth are oftener than otherwise perpetuated
in the mature man. Knowing this fact, he
should "govern himself accordingly"
6. He should never be discouraged by
small beginnings, but remember that nearly
all great results have been wrought out from
apparently slight causes.
Z. BE should never, under any circum-
stan ces, be idle. If he cannot find the en-
ployment he prefers, let him come as near
his desires as possible he will thus reach
the object Of his ambition.
8. All young men have "inalineable
right" among which none is greater and
more sacred than the privilege to be "some-
body"
