Young Men.

We wish to have some plain talk with
you, and in this article will cOnfne our
conversation to such as are dependent on
their wages or salary.
You all know that some Iaborers, single
men, who do not earn over 81 80 a-day,
never owe any debts, and save up at least
500 a-year; while others who earn the
same wages are always in debt and save
nothing. You all know married men who
receive about $3.50 a-day, who never owe
any debts and who, in ten years, own the
house they live in; while others who
work with them at the same wages are al
ways in debt, pay rent all their lives and
never had a home of their own. You
know mechanics who earn from two to
five dollars a-day, who, in a few years, not
only own home, but save enough to start
business for themselves while others who
work with them at the same wages are al
ways in debt and never get enough ahead
to purchase a home of their own. So long
as q man is young and has no sickness or
misfortune in his family, he can get along,
but from the fact that he is liable to sick
ness and other misfOrtunes, and may live
until he is too old and feeble to work, it is
all-important that he should guard against
these contingencies. The reason why so
many men remain poor all their lives is
because they never give the subject proper
thought, and if they do, they never put
their plans in operation. Perhaps one
man in ten thousand jumps into fortune
by some streak of good luck, while all the
others must make their fortunes in the
legitimate way. The labOrer who buys
himself home. buys it with what he
saves: he must do it in this way or 90
without. If he never begins to save, he
will never have anything ahead. All for
tunes are saved, but the great trouble is,
the starting point is so easy and trifling
that they never begin, but are waiting all
their lives for something better to turn
up. Suppose a man saves ten cents a-day
or sixty cents a-Week, he will have S3l.ZO
at the end of one year, and $3.50 at the
end of fifty years, as principal, but with
the interest added, he will have over
Sc, 900.
Then, the man who commences attwcn-
ty-one and saves ten cents day, will have
Sc, 900 at seventy-one, which is all that he
will actually need at that age to keep him
the balance of his life. No young man
should start on the voyage of life without
| laying his plans to meet all the contingent
| cies, and it makes but little difference how
small a scale he starts on. If he COM
mences by saving a mere trifie, his natural
| anxiety to get rich will stimulate him to
greater eXertion as he grows older, and eX-
| perience will lead him to independence. If
| you never begin to save, you will never
| have anything saved, and when you begin
| to save one, two or five cents a day, you
| have started slowly but surely, on the road
| to fortune, and your march will surely in
| crease as you grow Older.-NetO Jersey
| Mechanic.

Monroe County Trip.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: During several
days of the past week your correspondent
found it convenient to visit the good old
county of Monroe, which had been made
to appear to our mind in rather an unta-
VOrable light, owing to our acquaintance
with certain criminal prosecutions from
that county, but we are happy to say that
we found everything in peace and harmO-
ny among the citizens; and not only peace
among the citizens, but we saw a dog and
cat playing together as gleefully as though
there had never been war between the spe-
cies. Indeed we never witnessed more
hospitality or a better state of society at
any time or place where we have ever
visited.
The farmers were engaged in reaping
their heavy harvests of wheat which they
say is better than has been for q number
of years, and Notwithstanding the heavy
crops of wheat, very high prices are offer
ed for the first in the market.
We had the pleasure of attending the
closing exercises of Prof Ramsey's
school, which reflected much credit on the
Institution. The stage was beautifully
decorated, while in an arch on the wall IN
its rear was woven in evergreens the BEAU
tiful and appropriate motto Victoria est
Premium DiJigentiuHl. The evening eX-
erciseS were exceeding interesting, cOntin-
uing until near midnight.
Politically, Republicans appear to ell
dorse Grant and Wilson; in fact we con-
versed with no Republican but that de-
| clared himself for Grant. Some of the
Democracy appear willing to support
Greeley, but many of them are waiting
for 1.-THE coming man."
We were pleased to find that the CHRON-
ICLE had an extensive circulation in the
county, finding it in many of the houses
which we visited. w.

SCRIBHEhs EoR MARcH.-The
March number of Scribuer's is bright
with picture, story, and poem. George
Alfred Townsend gives us, in the lead
ing article, a glimpse into that pictur-
esque and romantic, but hitherto little
known region, the "Chesapeake PENN
sula," many of the accompanying illus
trOtions being particularly bright and
attractive. Bayard Taylor has an inter-
esting article on "The Heart of Arabia" /"
with effective pictures; and Mr.. Townley
contributes entertaining sketches of the
celebrated artists, Page and Bierstadt,
in bis illustrated series Of diving
American Artists" Noah Brooks ac-
count Of "The Cruise of the Balboa" is
curious and graphic tale, founded upon
fact; and from Susan Coolidge we have
tender little story, entitled I'm the
Brook" The third of Warmers deli
cious Backlog Studios," statistics of
Statira," by Mrs. Sherwood. and an ar
ticle by Wm. O. Stojdard, throwing
light, by means of the Suez Canal sur
veys, upon the Red Sea crossing Of the
Jews under Moses; President Samson's s
paper on "The False Claim Of Mormon
ism,"-in which he denies that poly
Bamy is justie6d by Asiatic or patri-
archal custom, Mohammedan pr Mosaic
statues,-all these are suggestive in diff
terent ways; but the article in the pres
ent number likely to attract most atten-
tion is Col. Knox's account of "That
Grand jury" of which he is member,
and which has achieved such distinction
for its fearless action in the matter of
the city frauds. Fl. II. and Hiram

We notice that the namo of this dis
tinguished gentleman is mentioned in
different parts of the State in connexion
with the nomination for the Vice Presi-
deney, on the Republican ticket. We
would regret to part with Judge Scofeld
as urimnediate representative in Con-
gross, and cannot but feel that it would
be difficult to fud among the many able
Republicans in the district, man who
could so we'll and ably look after the in.
terests of the District, the State and the
Nation, as he. He has been elected five
consecutive terms, and has represented
the district for the ten years past with
great ability, and entire satisfaction to
the people. During all the time he has
served in Congress no man has stood
higher. During the dark days of the
bloody slavc-holding rebellion, he stood
side by side with the lamented Lincoln
and was looked upon by the President
as one of the ablest aud most patriotic
members of the House. But for the
powerful cooperation of such men as
Scofield in the popular branch of the
government, President Lincoln, with all
his patriotism and power, could never
have succeeded in crushing out that gi-
gantic rebellion; and our country, to-
day, instead of being a power on earth,
would have been by-word and a re-
proach; a second Mexico-and liberal
government would have been demon
strated to be failure. 1t would be but
fit tribute to the worth; the great ca
pacity, and the large experience of Mr..
Sco6eld to accord him the position
named. His name, too, would be a
tower of strength to the ticket in this
State.
We trust the Republican nominating
convention will see to it that the vote OF
Pennsylvania is secured to the Repuoli-
can party, By giving to Mr.. Scofeld the
second place on the Presidential ticket

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our odd
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruf, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR-DREssING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tions, and gives the hair splendid.
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes
MD, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and consider it

intended purposes"
