A HINT FOR YOUNG MEN.-Not long
ago a young man of this city had most
favorable opportunity to enter a bust
ness house in this State, at a large in
crease over his present salary, with the
prospect of soon getting a place in the
firm. His recommendations were first
class, and the officers of the institution
we're decidedly pleased with his appear
ance. They, however, made him no
proposals, nor did they state their favor
able impressions. A gentleman of this
city was requested to ascertain where
the young man spent bis evenings, and
what class Of young men were his asso-
ciates. 1t was found that he spent sew
eral nights of the week in billiard
room on Main street, and Sunday after
noon drove hired span into the coun-
try with three other young bloods. He
is wondering why he didn't hear from

The money panic has continued dur
ing the week past, extending in the
country in some places, and many busi-
ness concerns have discharged a large
number of hands for want Of currency,
and on account of the effect on their
business, but it is believed the panic is
subsiding and that confidence will again
be gradually restored. Much of the
stringency in the money market is I'M
founded and created entirely by fear, and
not because money is wanted for use.
The stock exchange in New York was
reopened on Tuesday and business re-
sumed. There is much whistling by the
graveyard in some circles, but as a whole
there was an improved state of feeling,
and in reliable financial circles the crisis
was regarded as past. The duty OF the
hour is to wait, not run to the banks,
much less the savings banks, and if each
creditor will but feel it to be his duty to
do his share of waiting, and let this feel
ing extend the whole length of the line,
we shall soon all come out right.
Great mischief is often done by a run," "
not because the money is wanted, but
only for fear they are going to lose it.
Such fear is fictitious, and is more likely
to iniure the creditor or depositor, who
thus bites off his own nose, than any
other party. Therefore quiet, waiting
and patience are the watchwords, and
confidence will soon restore itself.
