SAVE YOUR YOUNG MEN.

From what Not from hard work
and exhausting toll, for this is the
appointed lot of men and we should
not expect to escape from it, by this
right charactc! is formed, and the
earth brought to yield her riches.
Not from protracted and close
study, for thus only are attainaents,
brain power developed, and the pro-
icsscd filed with able men.
Not from rigid economy, years Of
toll and slow increase of wealth 7 for
this is far better than fortunes made
in an hour.
But save them from the fascina-
tons Of the gaming table and es-
peciaIly from the insidious, fearful
course Of intemperance.
Oh, it is burning out the very Vi
tais Of mortality end lnanliness in a
hundred social circles, 1t is de-
stroying by thousands the youth in
our best families. 1t is sweeping
through the country and carrying
away to worthlcssness and crime the
young men who would be pillars in
the church and state, and it is gain
ing power daily.
Ministers, teachers, fathers, moth
ers, sisters, call upon the young mei
to touch not, taste not, the accused
bowl. God save our young men.

PROFESSIONAL LIFE IN NEW
YORK

The number Of lawyers in New
York is variously estimated at from
four to seven thousand. It's some
times said that there is one lawyer
to every hundred inhabitants. If
so, how can they live? One of the
first counsellors of the city said to
me a few days ago, "thero are about
four thousand lawyers in this city
five hundred Of these do all the inn
portant business, and most lucrative
cases are confined to fifty of these"
If this be true and there is little
reason to doubt, why do SO many
students enter the legal profession
The answer given here is that the
law requires little capital. Noyoung
man can now begin business as a
merchant unless he is wealthy. A
man needs small fortune to be able
to rent one room on Broadway, A
young LAWYER can make business if
he is onterprising and popular in his
manners. Most business men en-
ploy attorneys to make all such pa
pers as country merchants write for
themselves. The sale of real estate
employs many lawers in looking up
titles and making deeds. still it is
very difficult for a young practition-
CT to earn, for some years, more than
meagro support for himself; he
cannot enter into family relations
The effect Of such lifo is patent to
all.
The physicians rank next to the
lawyers in number, but they hardly |
amount to more than thousand
They fall more readily into practice
than lawyers; still only one in a
hundred becomes widely known
very few become rich from their
professional income. The ministers
arc last but not least in this enum-
Grafton | do not know the number
Of churches in New York, but sup
pose they cannot exceed four hun
bred. These are but partially filled
on the Sabbath.
a few eminent preachers, ten per-
haps, have crowded houses; the rest |
preach to two or three hundred hear
ers. have been told til It about |
one in ten of the population attend
church. The Sabbath is becoming
a day of amusement. Citizens visit
the park more on that day than any
other. Pleasure and recreation are
more earnestly taught at all times,
than spiritual culture. The minis
tiers therefore, have Il hard field of
labor, but it is quite as respectable,
and, probably, more remuneratiyc'
than the professions of law and med
icine.

BE a MAN.-Foo!ish spending, is
the father of poverty. Do not be
ashamed of work, and of hard work
Work for the best salaries or wages
you can get, but work for half price
rather than be idle. Be your own
master, and do not let society or
fashion swallow up your Individual
ty-hat, coat and boots. Do not
eat up or wear out all that you earn.
Compel your selfish body to spare
something for profits saved. BE
stingy to your own appetite, but
mercifnl to others necessities. Help
others, and ask no help for yourself
See that you are proud. Let your
pride be Of the right kind.
BE too proud to be lazy;
too proud to give up without
conquering every difficulty; too
proud to wear a coat that you can
not afford to buy; to proud to be in
company that you cannot keep up
with in expenses too proud to lie,
or steal, or cheat; too proud to be
narsimonious.

every shop is open and trading, and
become the resort for the men,
where they gather, drink, quarrel,
and fight, as Sabbath days recrea-
ton; nearly half of the earnings Of
these freedmen, is spent in buying
Intoxicating liquors. These lands
are so fertile that small amount oil
labor secures for the freedman and
his family, fair supply of rice and
corn for their support, in addition to
the fish and oysters, furnished by
tho rivers; they spend but little for
clothing, as their ragged garments
and unshod feet bctray. The wants
of the freedmen are very few; much
food and little raiment are all they
crave, to stimulate them to moderate
laber, when these are possessed,
idcncss, and wandering from place
to place, become their highest con
ception of enjoyment; anticipated
want in days Of sickness and APP
preaching old age, do not interrupt
their present qualification. They
trade but little, the value of their
labor, and of the fertile lands upon
which they simply subsist, add but lit
tie to the comfort of the world or to
the wealth of the State ; thoy live and
die, without increasing or diminish
ing the wealth or comfort of their
fellow men, aud truly may they bo
cla6scd among the unproductlve
members of human society. Yet
under the untoward circumstances
surrounding this unfortunate race
and the many evil influences which
have been made to operate on them
since their emancipation, they con-
tinue inoftensivc and civil, seldom
cndangering the peace of any white
person on the highway ; they SEEM
ingly entertain an instructive respect
for the white race and the knowl-
edge that the white mans wisdom Is
needed for their guidance. The
chief obstacle to their advancement
in any social position is their natural
apathy and their dcstitution of am
bition and the desire for acculnulat-
ing-their prominent and ruling
passion being for a quiet and mega
tive existence. What a contrast to
the ruling passions of New Eng
land
This subject, representing the So
cia condition of the State, will be
continued in the next number of the

A GOOD MORAL CHARACTER
There is nothing which adds SO
much to the beauty and power Of
man as a good moral character. 1t
dignifos him in every condition, and
glorihes him at every period of his
life. Such character as this is
more to be desired than everything
on earth. 1t makes a man free and
independent. No servile tool, no
crouching sychophant, no treacher-
Gus honor seeker, ever bore such a
character.

PROOF READING

If the readers of the newspapers
understood one half of the difficulties
in procuring accuracy, instead of
wondering and scolding at mistakes,
they would be surprised that there
arc not more. How few readers APP
preciate the services of the individ-
uaI who examines the "proofs" of a
paper before it is printed. He is
one Of the most important agents to
the production Of a correct literal
ture, and one Of whom no reader
seems to think. His is the most
thankIcss of all the cnployments
among men. Let him bring out a
paper without fault for weeks and
weeks in succession, and nobody
thinks of him. But let him allow an
error to go uncorrected, as we hap
pencd to DO in a fye-line church

diatcIy he is known to be ccnsured
