What Mr.. Greeley Said to tic
YO:ln. Mau.

A young Ensl;shman Of our a:-
quaintance, who recently came to this
country under the impression that be
could make money easily here, though
he had no very distinct idea how, wrote
to Mr.. Greeley, alter exhaustiny every
other resource, asking mis- advice. He
described himself as literally educated,
u graduate from Oxford, but without
experience or skill in any particular
business, AND, Of course, out Of money.
Mr.. Grce}cy's reply, which We have been
allowed to decipher, begins by saying
to the young man, II utterly detest
and abhor the kind Of education you
have received" which, he says en-
braces everything except that which it
should embrace-thc mastery of some
business that will yield support. Mr..
Greeley thanks God that he himself
graduated from "a New England (vcry)
common school," not that he under
values the knowledge to be secured in
universities, we take it, but because
colleges fail to provide adequately for
the future Of the man by making him
a skilled workman in some recognized
business which will certainly yield him
a support, and the suggestion is one
we'll worthy Of attention. MIR. rec
ley thinks every man, no matter what
his station in !ife may be, ought to
know business at which he can earn
a livelihood with his Aan;7s-that every
man should know trade, in fact; and
in general way he is doubtless right.
But what do our colleges train men
for? They give us, incidently, doctors
and lawyers in such abundance that
the half Of them never secure Il footing
in their professions, while the non-pro
fessional graduates are turned out lib
orally educated" as the phrase goes,
but utterly destitute Of any kind Of fit.
ness for life. They can read Greek
Latin, they know the calculus, an.!
have a limited acquaintance with the
mixed mathematics and the sciences.
But how many Of them know how to
make even ten dollars week at any
kind Of business? How many Of them
can utilize their liberal educations?
How many Of them could command
salary on their merits without ifucnce
and patronage Men who are in jour
nalism see more Of the misery wrought
by our defective educational system
than others do, because men Of cduca-
ton, out Of money, invariably try litcra-
turc, under tie delusion that any man
with an education can write for tn pa
pers. They come by scores, confident
Of their entire qualification, while they
admit that they have no experience,
and some Of them even confess them
selves void Of an idea rs to what they
shall write about, imagining that the
men who arc to pay for their matter
can afford also to supply them with its
framework and spirit.
People talk a great deal about tho
aiscrics Of the poor and the struggles
Of the working classes, but there il
probably far more real suffering in the
struggles Of those who want to work
but 10 not know how. We can con-
ceive Of no more unhappy person than
the man whose ideas have been refined
into almost morbid scnsitivcncss by u
liberal education; without money and
with no skill at anything profitable. ~
complete education is a noble posses
sion, but tho education which docs not

The New Year gracoth his coming
With splendor and romp untold;
No garments with gaudy coloring
OF crimson, md blue, and gold
But his royal robes are trailing
In folds Of tho purcst SNOW
While delicate fringcs follow
Tho sweep Of their silent dow!
The sleeping fairies awaken
At sounds Of his merry call,
And Irvine fantastic garments
Over oak trees, brown and tall.
They dance with mystic footprints,
Above the ice bound stream,
Whose babblins voice is silent
Love hushed III its winters dream.
Ovor our windows nightly,
Thoy hang rich webs Of lace;
Each tiny thread is woven
With infinite skill and grace.
Though the airy meshes may vanish
At smile Of the midday sun,
They will weave US u fairer curtain
When the busy day is done.
So the young King, ascending
The step Of his royal throne,
filings round US his gifts of beauty,
And bushes the Winters moan.
Oh listen ye loyal subjects,
Who his plcntcous bounty share,
For hear his clear voice calling,
Through the frosty, wintry air.
o mortals! I come to you gaily,
With carols Of song and mirth!

Aud sladdcns my sweet, new birth.
But soon through the mysterious portals,

And tho Past with wan, weary fingers
Shall fold her dark shroud DER me.

Gather green branches Of olives,
And loosen the peace breathing dove.

And labor for good and for all,

With tho shadow Of Sins sable pail!

Some spirits I'll bear to my King;

With fruits Of my glorious reign.

Blithe and merry. and free and gay,
A happy child in her sportivo play,
Laughing wild in her lnirthful glce-
What is so fair, SO sweet to see?
Nothing to her are frost anu snow!
They only give her brighter glow.
And clear and blue is the winter sky
Is the light in her mischier-loying eye.
Oh childhood blessed, that knows no care,
Whose tears are never the tears Of despair;
Shall We ever again the dear days know,

st. Paul correspondence,
Sr. PAUL, Jan. 10, 1872.


Legislature has taken = recess Of three
days, during which the presiding off,
GERS OF the respective branches have
selected and announced the several
standing committees. The business of
the session is fairly begun, and there
seems to prevail, quite generally, dis
position to accomplish something, while
there is sufficient leisure to enable them
to do it we'll.
A bill was introduced last night au-
thorizing the issuance of bonds by the
City Of St. Cloud to aid in building
railroads. = It excited a sharp debate
aud an effort t. pass it under suspen-
sion Of the rules was temporarily I'M
successful. The bill was referred to a
special committee, and when it comes
before the Senate again its friends may
expect thorough examination of the
whole question Of local aid to private
corporations. Mr.. Ccsgswell and Mr..
Beeman have already attacked the bill:
and they will not fail to do 50 again,
when an opportunity occurs.
Mr.. Child has introduced bill to re-
strain tue sale Of Intoxicating liquors,
the consideration of which promises to
! ooe Of some interest. I will send you
copy Of the bill for publication as soon
as it gets into print.
There is some talk of amending the
law in such manner as to have session
but once in two years. I think such
bill will meet with favor among the
people, but I doubt whether it can be
made legal in any way except by an
amendment to the Constitution. This
session will cost the State not less than
100000, and the people who earn the
money will find it difficult to realize
that the results justify the outlay. We
need but very little legislation. The
policy Of the State is now pretty we'll
defined upon all vital questions, and
appropriate laws are now in force to
make that policy effectual.
One of the great evils which results
from annual sessions is that Of constant
ly amending the laws of former sessions.
Even lawyers cannot keep themselves
informed of all the changes, and the
people do not try. The special legis-
lation which has become SO common in
this Site, is probably productive of
more i'll consequences, than all else that
emanates from the Legislature. The
various municipalities of the State have
loaded themselves with burdens from
which quarter century's prosperity
will scarcely avail to relieve thcm.-
The people ought to have the power to
properly aid any enterprise which
promises to render them an equivalent,
but experience has shown that men are
quite likely to ovcr-cstimate the value
Of desired improvements, and, there
fore, do far more than they ought to
secure them. 10 meet such contin-
gcncy, law should be enacted, cstab-
fishing a maximum per cent. upon the
assessed valuation above which the peo-
pie cannot go in extending aid to local
enterprises. While furnishing y much
needed check, it would, at the same
time, afford apple opportunity for the
exercise Of sound discretion in esti-
mating the value Of corporation schemes,
and give the people the advantage Of
"sober, second thought" More anon.
