IO NOl.No VI eve
Young man, did You ever ask your
self why there are so many people III
the world unemployed, and why SO
MANY fill drunkard's grave! There
is employment for the entire world; yes
honorable employment, yet we often
see Young men of abilities, physical ana
mental, loaiiug around, lulling away
the spring time of their life IN utter
worthlessness Young man, consider,
remember however true it may be that
Our country is controlled by your su-
periors, and the positions Of honor and
usefulness are at present beyond your
grasp, the granduess of your future rests
upon you. Remember the world was
tot made in one day. Neither can You
make your fortune nor gain reputa'
ton in day Bide your time and per
severe. Perseverance and energy Will
be sure to lead to success.
If in your power, by all means choose
a profession, aud it will honor you.
Work is no dishonor and lazincss is no
credit to any one. 1t is good to have
wages, but half pay is better than Idle
ness and vice Remember there Is
greater demand for Young men now
than ever before. For young men,who
are not for sale-for with these the mar
ket is surplied-trne, honest young
men, sound from centre 10 circumter-
ence, and whose conscirnccs are as
steady as the needle to the pole. Men
who know their positions and fill them.
Young men not too lazy TO work, not
too proud to be poor, and are willing
to eat what they have earned ard paid
for.
Talent is a good thing, and if You
have it improve it; but ii you have not
rot it, then make the best use OF tact.
Educate yourselves, or yoa will go
down TO the tomb of oblivion-perhaps
to ruin. While, if You educate your
selves, YOU will be an honor TO your
selves and TO your country. Education
is worth more than gOld-it is a con-
slant friend through life, and at death
consolation. Be independent as far as
YOU are able Live for something and
for yourselt-it is too expensive to hire
others to do your thinking and let your
machinery decay in rust. Attend to
YOUR own business, and be sure TO let
other peoples alone. Have but few
contidants-the fewer the better, and
always be true to your friends. Fear
not your enemies, and remember that
your character cannot be materially III
jured except by your own acts.
Young men, cut this out and paste it
in your album for future reference. Do
good and leave behind you a monument
OF virtue that the storms of time cannot
destroy. Strive TO have your name to
shine as q brilliant star in the classical
skies. Write your name by kindness
and love on the hearts of the thousands
with whom you associate, and you may
rest assured that YOU will never be for
gotten.

Among the Tennesseeans now in

White, of Hawkins. He is here to
look after a little cotton claim, and
of course examines the docket of
the Claims Commission with great
care. The other day he found out
that the case OF j. White was about
to come up. Now the Honorable
James is very energetic and active
man and especially so when he thinks
he sees where White comes in. So
he hurried around and got his proof
together, had his counsel on hand,
and was just prepared to make an
eloquent address upon his claim,
when it appeared from a side remark
of the clerk that the j. White whose
case was under consideration hailed
from Arkansas, and consequently
that the gentleman from Hawkins
had no interest therein. The gen.
tleman from Hawkins did not say
much, but his countenance fell as
he musingly observed: just my

to his room he pondered long and
earnestly upon the mutability of hH-

To the Editor Of Hawkins County Department:
/ write you this in order that our citi-
zens, and especially the fruit-growers,
may be on their guard in the future! A
few days since, DR.. o. NJ. Brown, while
riding by his orchard observed that one
of his best apple trees was missing, and
upon further examination found that it
had actually been taken up and trans
planted in one of his neighbors' orchards,
there to grow and bring forth "good
fruit" to the honor and comfort of its
illegal owner.
What, in your opinion, are his chances
for making it a success? Could tree,
even if it had borne ever so good fruit,
continue to do so? / think not. Our
"goOd brother" may search his Bible
from Genesis to Revelation, and he will
find no Scripture to encourage him in
his new enterprise And now, Mr.. -,

ing shown as you are, take my advice:
Move that tree again, Ctwon't hurt iD.
