A SENSIBLE YOUNG MAN.-The late Col.
Jolt was himself practical mechanic. BY
ls will he left to his nephew an immense
lo'tune. At the time of Col Colts death
The nephew was learning his trade of ma
tAlnist in his uncle's shop, working diligently
bis OVeralls day by day, subject to the
Ane rules as other apprentices On his
lnclc's death, he became millionaire; but,
Choosing a guardian to manage bis property,
e continued at his labor, and faithfully SER
1ed his apprenticeship. Now, as he walks
he rooms of his fine house, or drives his
handsome team, he has the consciousness
That if his riches take TO themselves wings
Iad fly away, he is furnished with the means
Iof getting an honest livelihood, and may
lHake fortune for himself. He was greasy
Inechauic and he is not ashamed of it, nor
Itraid to face the music again. Labor and
u accompanying dirt are. neither dishonora.
BE nor degrading laziness and its almost
Isecessary evils are disgusting and destroying.
Dirty hands and sense ofindependence are
preferred to kid gloves and conscious.
SeSs Of being mere droan in human hive,
Tools rust from neglect; wear out from use.
neglect is criminal; use is beneficial. So
sHh mans capabilities. Better wear out
