The uuexampled depression in al
most every kind of business has told
sadly upon the young men of the coun
try. Such has assuredly been the eff
feet in every city and town in the South
There are, probably. from five hun
dred TO one thousand young Qen out
Of employment This is no FAULT Of
their own, but has resulted from a
succession Of misfortunes which have
forced their employers to curtail ex-
pepses to save themselves from ruin.
4 poor young man out Of employment
has TO pass through terrible ordeal,
but if he possess courage aud philoso
ply. like Ant9us. he will spring from
the ground with renewed strength, and
pass through adversely and rise to new
efforts aud new triumphs. Ia misfor-
tunes there is nothing like vigor, cour
age, the persisteney which always Sc
cures its ends. Young men out Of
employment should feel that
"The only real elem ent of luck
Is genuine, solid, old Teutonic pluck"
The misfortune with young men is,
they never abandon their accustomed
avocations until constrained to do 80
by hunger and rags. Young men out
of employment should not scruple as
to the kind Of work offered them
Mawkish, senseless sentimeutality
should Aot restrain them. As the
Richmond Hkig has it:
"Why those who accumulate fortunes
in the West by manual labor are to be
respected there, and scoTned if they at
tempt the same here, we cannot exactly
tfompreheId in country so thoroughly
democratic, nor have we any sympathy
with a sentiment founded upon SO absurd
a prejudice. The kid-giove charlatan, the
mushroom of day, who has yet the odor
OF talIow about him, may affect to despise
the trade TO which he is indebted FOR the
position in society which his money puEs
chased-aud of which he is totally ufr%
worthy but The true gentfemun, the naRn
of innate nobility of SOU, the born pa
trician, is influenced by no such narrow
sentimentalism. No, let our young men
stay at home and engage in any legiti-
mate occupation that may insure a COM
peteucy, even though they have to take
OF their coats and roll up their sleeves
end go TO work. Better this than rough
ing IL IN the West; better a thousand fold
learn trade than sink all self-respect BY
becoming a fawning sycophant at the
footstoel of power, and living on hope de-
ferred until the heart grows sick in anx-
io,is expectancy of a few crumbs of offi-
cial patr6nage Anything, we repeat,
but this; tor even though the coveted
ofice be obtained what assurance can
there be that 10 morrow you are not set
