!. Resolred, That we, the Republicans OF

recipient Of many bitter epithets which he said
reminded him forcibly Of the old adage OF love $

substitute, which was lost by nearly unani,
nous vote-ouly four votes in favor, but full
meeting The next thing in order was the
substitute, which was adopted with on y three
dissenting votes. About this time the pro
ceediugs Of the meeting became tumuItous
and noisy, produced by the dissatisfaction OF
outsiders, or people from other wards, who
came, apparently, with the determination OF
controlling the action Of the ward. The meet
ing, then, on motion, adjourned to meet again
on "Wednesday evening next, at the same tine
and place.

This question was propounded short
time ago to young man, who had been for
several months, unsuccessfully seeking en-
ployment as clerk or salesman in some of
our leading houses. Complaining of his i'll
luck, one of his friends, who knew his me-
chanical talent, but doubted whether he
could make himself useful, either as a clerk
or salesman, put the interrogatory to him
which we have placed as the caption Of this
article. The reply was, that trade was not
so respectable as a mercantile occupation.
Under this delusiye idea, our stores are
crowded with young men who have no Ca
pacity for business, and who because of the
fancied respectability of doing nothing,
waste away their minority upon salaries
which cannot possibly liquidate their ex-
penditures
Late, too late in life, they discover their
error, and before they reach the age of thir-
ty, many of them look with envy upon the
thrifty mechanic whom, in the days of their
boyhood, they were accustomed to deridc.
The false views of responsibility which pre-
vailed in the sol disant fashionable society OF
the present day have ruined thousands of
young men, and will ruin thousands more
