The present generation ofyoung men
seem TO have strong aversion to eve
ry kind Of trade, business, calling, or
occupation that requires manual labor;
and an equally strcng tendendcy to-
wards some so-called ''genteel en-
ployment or profession. The result is
seen in the superabundance Of elegant
penmen, book keepees, and clerks Of
every kind, who can get no employ
ment, and are wasting their lives IN tie
vain pursuit OF what is not to be had;
and terrible oyer-stock Of lawyers
without practice, and doctors without
patients. The passion on the part Of
boys and young men to be clerks, Office
attendants, messengers, anything, SO
that it is not work Of the kind that will
make them mechanics or tradesmen, is
deplorable sight to those who have
full opportunities to see the distressing
effects OF il in the struggles for such
employments by those unfortunates

A Masonic undcrtaklng In LOnIsyIlle.


FROM the LOUISVILLE COurlor-Joufuhb Aeh
The Masonic fraternity of this city are
about entering upon one of the noblest
works syer undertaken by any benevolent
society In Louisville-the building of n
Masonic Widows and Orphans Homo.
They have secured five and n half acres of
grouud, constituting an ontiro square be-
tween First and Second streets, near Taylor
Barracks, and the site is said to be n very
handsome one. Three acres of the ground
we're donated for the purpose by Il. II.
Shreve, and the remaining two and n half
acres have boon purchased by tho Mnsons
at SO, 900.
II is proposed TO commence ut rs carly n
day M possible the erection of a fine large
building TO cost 500, 900, and to be OF
ample capacity and convenience for the
purpose for which it is intended. Some
Of tho very best men in Louisville have
this enterprise in hand, and there can be
no doubt that It will he pushed forward
with all possible dispatch.
Tho building m and maintenance of in
situations of this kind in Louisville should
receive MI encouragement at no hands OF
those who are able TO contribute To such
enterprises. Well managed, they go fd
toward doing awRy with the necessity OF
Jail and peniteutiary improvements, and
are entirely indispensable in u growing mo
tropdlis like ours.
