ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.
? The annexed letter from Wendell
Phillips, our most finished orator,
contains some valuable advice to
young men about public speaking:
"APRIL, 1868.
"DEAR S1R-Your note came
while 1 was out West. l hasten to
reply, now I'm at home. think
practice with all kinds of audiences
the best teacher you can have.
Think out your subjects carefully,
read all you can relative to them,
till gour mind, and then talk simply
and naturally to an audience. For
get altogether that you are going to
make speech, or that you are
making one. Absorb yourself into
the idea that you are to strike a
blow, carry out a purpose, effect an
object, impress an idea, recommend
a plan; then, having forgotten
yourself. you will be likelier to do
your best for your purpose. Study
the class of books your mind likes !;
when you go outside of this rule
study those which give you FACTS
on your chosen subjects, and those
which you find most suggestive.
Remember to talk up to your audi
ence, not do,Da to it; the common
est audience can relish the best
thing you can say, if you know how
to say it properly. Your discipline
heretofore (as a journalist), and if
you continue it, is better than any
college, especially at your age.
''Be simple, be in earnest, and
you will not fail to reach the masses,
especially if your heart is large
enough and sympathetic enough to
receive all truths and all struggles.
I think your plan of Liberal
church is excellent. Fit yourself
for it by taking part in all the move
ments that interest the masses, and
you'll succeed. God speed you.
WENDELL PHILLIPS"
REQUIREMENTS TO BE A PHYSICIAN.
Oliver Wendell Holmes some
years ago wrote as follows to a
young man who requested his ad
vice about becoming doctor:
ssMY DEAR FRIED: To be ply
sician the following requisites, ifnot
absolutely necessary, are very de-
sirable:
81. A sound constitution. The
wear and tear are very great; and
cares, broken rest, irregular meals
and exposure of all kinds demand
great stamina.
ss2. An unselfish nature. You
must always think of your patient s
welfare, not of your own comfort OF
habits.
SO. You must be content to wait
a long time before you establish a
paying reputation.
81 Much of your work being dis
tasteful, wearisome, wearing to the
body, and almost fruitless to the
mind, you must gradually harden
yourself to the routine, and for this
you ought to have an easy and ac-
commOdtlng temper.
"5. You must be in constant IA
miliarity with suffering of all kinds,
which must either make your feelings
tough or keep you in distress.
'Medrcine is very exacting. ]
don't believe much in literary doc
tors. L would not have one that
was in the habit of scribbling verse
OF stories, or anything of the kind.
"Yours very truly,
o. W. Holmes

The Roman Catholic Bishop Dom
enec has announced through his
chaplain. Father Burke, in the pull
pit of the Cathedral, that all parents
of children attending the public
schools at Pittsburgh, Allegheny
and vicinity, are requested to take
away their children at once, or re-
ceive public rebuke. Should this
command be disregarded, he will
excommunicate them, and deny
them the privilege and benefit OF
the Church. This action has arisen
from the recent controversies con-
cerning the use of the Bible in the
public schools.

A Preacher With Nine Wives.
From the Warren CO.. (aiO.) Banner, Oct 21.
About five weeks agoaa mission
ary Baptist preacher. calling himself
Richard Hovey, went to Iruxton,
Lincoln County, Missouri, preached
every night and sometimes in the
day. After preaching some three
weeks there and in the vicinity, he
was taken suddenly i'll, made his
will, willed some sixty thousand
dollars worth of property to various
individuals, and thirty thousand
dollars to Miss Emma Holiday, of
Truxton. AS it happened. he recov-
cred from his illness, and, on the
4th instant, was married to Miss
Emma, and they went then to Flor
ence on a preaching expedition.
After preaching'several days he pro-
posed to attend the Montgomery
Fair, but instead went to Danville,
where he got drunk, said he had
eight wives beside Emma, and inten-
ded to have another before two
months. At Danville he let his
wife know that he intended to leave
the country; she being interested
for herself and the owner CT tire
horse and buggy, refused to go with
him, and took the reins and drove
to Florence, where she told Hovey
that she was done with him, and
sent for her father. Hovey learned
that he would be arrested for obtain
ing money on his forged certificates
of deposit, and took leg bail through
a corn field. Richard E. Hovey
halls from New York State, is alb .9ut
folty nine years old, missionary
Baptist preacher, fine speaker,
weighs about one hundred and for
ty pounds, has black hair and whis-
kers mixed with gray, teeth uneven,
dark complexion, and is about five
feet nine and half inches high.

The Story of a Shirt-Clay Dean.
We have all heard of the "Sonp

of the Shirt and most of US know
it by heart, and more of us should
pay heed to what it so nobly teaches.
That was by Hood, and the best
thing Thomas ever gave the world.
Now we have the story of a shirt, of
entirely different nature and on
widely a different subject. This is
by the editor of the Winterset Sun,
is founded on facts, sis facts" and
has to do with the sweet-smelling
Henry whose last name is Clay Dean.
1t runs thus: "Years ago, when
Mr.. Albert West was one of the
leading Democrats CT this country,
Henry Clay Dean came to the Win
terset to make Democratic Speech.
Mr.. West, who has an unfaltertng
aversion to dirty shirts, informed
the committee that Dean coula not
speak unless he put on clean shirt.
Dean was the possessor of only one
of these useful articles. and that was
on his back. The only remedy was
to borrow, and Mr.. West was the
only Democrat whose physical pro
portions were sufficiently developed
to require shirt long enough to fit
Dean. Henderson Clay was accord
ingly ensconced in the bankers 'fne
linen" made his speech, and depart
ed in triumph, bearing off five dol
lar shirt belonging to Mr.. Vest
That shirt was never heard from un-
til the fall of 1868, when Dean again
came to Winterset to make another
speech. That time he took up his
abode with our genial friend George
w. Sewers. Now George has
cleanly desire to see folks look tidy,
and Deans shirt was an abomination
in his eyes. He therefore suggested
to the orator that he would do well
to get on the inside of clean one
before addressing the people. Dean
acquiesced in the theory of the
change, but lacked the clean gar
ment necessary to put in practice
George promptly rendered him one
of his own. Dean accepted the of
fer, and made his speech arrayed in
Georges best shirt. Dean weighs
about three hundred and sixty
Dean has large surplusage Of alb
domen; George is built as trim
as race horse. The consequence
of this dissimilarityin size made it
impossible for Georges shirt to fit
Dean, if worn in the ordinary man
ner. But the orator was full of ex-
pedients, and by putting on the
shirt wrong end down and tail end
up he made the rifle astonished
his hide by bringing it in contact
with clean linen, electrified the au-
dience by the size of his shirt col
lar, and at the close of his address
continued his travels to another
point, taking our friends shirt with
him. Mr.. Dean loft his soiled gar,
| ment in the room, and when, pre-
paratory to being washed, it was
carried out on chip into the sun
light, there, on one corner of it's
narrative, appeared the name of AL
bert West. Eleven years that shirt
had abode on the back of the ora
tor. The great rebellion, the total
eclipse, the Pacific Railroad, the
election Of three Presidents-aH had
passed away before our eloquent
hero found time to change his shirt;
and when the great change was made
he kindly returned to the spot where
he got his first clean shirt to invest
/ in his second one" e."-Des Moines
