Advice TO Young Men.

There is no harm IN certain moderate
and occasional amnun. Of innocent pleas
nre. But a young man who has his own
,say to carve in life, can spare neither
fhe time. the strength, nor the expense OF
much local pleasure. In the country.
where the style of living is simple, one
can get all the gayety he needs without
spending much money. We Recommend
to every young man who Is starting In
life the most rigorous economy in expen-
scs: in clothes, food. and equipment.
Young men usually 10 not take their meas
ure of economy from what they can ac-
tually endure, but from what society
around them lie accustomed TO demand.
By far the greatest number OF young
men have only their hands, their good
character, and their motber-wit for capi-
tai. Success will require ingenuity, in
dustry and rigorous economy. The prac-
tice Of thIse qualities for Ten years onght

be the time for pleasure, bun that Is no
ruason why q man should squander the
best part of his life. Youth is good for
pleasure; but it is the very time too for
