fgurativcly speaking. down at heel all

over.
TIE GREAT LEssoN-The first great
lesson young man should learn is, that
he knows nothing. The carlierand more
thoroughly this lesson is learnt the bet
ter. 4 homc,bred youth, growing up in
the light of parental admiration, with
everything to foster his vanity and self
esteem, is surprised to find, and often un-
willing to acknowledge, the superiority
of other people But lie is compelled to
learn his own insignitcancc his airs are
ridiculcd, bis blunders exposed, his wishes
and inc is made 10 cut sorry
figure, until his seIi-conccit is abased, and
he feels that he knows nothing.
When Il young man has thoroughly
comprehendetl the facts that he knows
nothing, and that intrinsically lie is but
of little value, the next lesson is that the
world cares nothing about him. lie is
the subject Of one mans overwhelming
admiration; neither pcttcd by the one
sex nor cnvied by the other. lie has to
take care of himself. lie will not be no
ticcd till he becomes noticeable; he will
not become noticeable until he does some
thing to prove that he is some use to
society No recommendations or intro
ductons will give this; he must do some
thing to be recognized as somebody.
The next lesson is that of patience. A
man must learn to wait as well us to work,
and to be content with those means Of
advancement in life which he may use
with integrity and honor. Patience is
one of tho most difficult lessons to learn.
1t is natural for the mind to look for i'm
mediate results.
Let this, then, be understood at start
ing, that the patient conquest of Difficult
ties Which rise in the regular and legiti-
mate channels of business and enterprise;
is not only essential in securing the snc-
cess which Il young man seeks in life, bnt
essential also to that preparation of the
mind requisite for the enjoyment of sue
cess, and for retaining it when gained;
1t is the general rule in all the world, and
in all time unearncd success is curse.

WHITTIER DRIFTING The New York
Journal of Commerce is thoughtful and
fearful of the changes through which the
county is passing. Radical hate OF the
South, Radical tyranny, and Radical dIs,

Commerce says:
"A wise, and great, and good man,
now gone to his reward, once declared IN
our hearing that the great strength of our
form of government lay in the fact that
it was the nearly unanimous choice of the
people so much so that if by any sudden
convulsion the machinery should be dis
arranged, the people in convention as
scmblcd would rc-cstabisl it precisely
upon the original model. Can this be
said of the government Of to-day? Does
any thoughtful man believe that a con-
vcntion Of delegates elected for that pur-
nose would reproduce as their choice the
urescnt Constitution adorned anew with
the patches recently added, and including
also those now prepared for application,
