Ye ung Men and Colleges

"But many young men know nothing
about good homes. except as they read or
hear of them in poetry and song. All
that is done for such persons is done by
their own hands. To-day they may be
debating whether or not 1t is wise for
them to attempt to obtain a collegiate
education. They yearn for knowledge,
but the way seems long and dark. To
such we have a word to say. You can
get a thorough education if you want it
badly enough to work for it. If you
have not even a postage-stamp, except as
you earn it, so much the better. Young
men who make their own money for a
definite purpose, usually know how to
use it to the best advantage; but those
who have only to ask "the old man" for
their cash, often ruin themselves for the
FAKE of spending it. Our higher.grade
colleges. both theological and literary, are
now for the most part. tuition free, and
from two>hundred to two>handred and
twenty-five dollars a year will pay all
necessary expenses in the best of them.
If you will, you can do this amount, keep
up your studies, and lose little, if any
time from your recitations. 1t takes en-
ergy aud industry, and they ale the stuff
our greatest men are made of. Genius
is something, but you will learn that
there is no genius like the genius of en-
ergy and industry, and you will further
find, when you come to measure your
self with men, that there are no rivals 50
formidable as those earnest, determined
minds which reckon the value of every
hour, and which achieve eminence by
persistent application"
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1874-10-01

selves. Identify yourself with this last
class, end sec that you reach your mark.
Build your character upon the Bible, and
reflect an hour, daily, upon the life for
which the present is a preparation. Get
all possible culture from choice books,
frequent association with educated men,
and the occasional society of cultivated
ladies. Hear every public lecturer with
in your reach; you may learn as much
sometimes from stupid speakers as from
the best, patience if nothing else. And
road only reliable newspapers; solid
weeklies are safer than d%ailies. Above
all, remember that your aim is future
usefulness rather than present pleasure.
Lay down a definite line Of action, and
re%ligiously toe it. Study, study, STUDY,
and you will never regret the sacrifice
your education will have required for
you will never have to make such a con-
fession as the following:
II committed one fatal error in nv
youth, and dearly have l abided it. l
started in life without an object, eyen
without an ambition. My temperament
disposed me to ease, and TO the full I
INDUCED the disposition. I said to my
self: L have all that l see others contends
ing for; Why should l struggle? I knew
not the curse that lights on those who
have never to struggle for any thing.
Had created for myself a definite pur-
