THE YOUNG MEN.

The grave question has been formally
asked in our community of late, "How
shall we reach the Young Men 10
which the press, in its character as tue
GREAT Trainer and collector OF puDiic sen
1;ment. must make up us answer.
Tbs question is one calculated to I'm,
press profoundly rejecting minds, ana
TO elicit the sympathies OF an rlsh'-leei,
inc human hearts. LORD bacon said
tho, # he were called upon to predict
~ o,nd;,ion of a country twenty-five
Lars hence, he should "siudy The char
S.,sr Of its young men," The great
,,h;losopher was right-never were truer
words spoken. II we wish to realize
our highest hopes for cur young men
we must address ourselves resolutely to
the task OF studying their characters as
they actually present themselves. The
quick eye of the practical man takes in
the leading features of the business sit
uation; studies the needs of the commu-
nifty, forms his plans accordingly, and
as the result of his sagacity grows rich
and influential The physician sum-
moned TO the bedside OF a cancerous pa
,ient, at once inserts his scalpel and re-
moves the disease, to the great relief OF
the sufferer, without indulging any pet
theory as to its nature and origin. 80
in all our efforts to reform and Influence
Young men; we must study their neecs
and habits. Young men are eminently
social and genial in their impulses, and
if we are TO reach them TO any extent II
must be through means addressed 20
this aspect of their character.
Now the fact is that most OF our
Young men 60 out in the evening. Are
we 10 attempt the herculean task OF re-
torminy their respective family circles
so "a 10 make home more pleasant to
them. Clearly not. We must See
where they 60 and find out what they
seek We must exert ourselves TO H.
duce them to cultivate better and puier
associations and supply them with
amusements and pleasures from which
the depraysd and violating elements
have been eliminated. When this is
done, we may be said to have young
man in situation in which an Influence
NAV be exerted for his highest and best
good. In proof of the pracllcabllity OF
such a scheme, we may cite the example
and success of the Y NJ. G. a. through
out the land. These Christian young
men seek 10 draw others away from
their vicious and wicked associations.
AID to bring them under such moral,
literary and religious influences as shall
develop their characters into good and
upright citizeus, and, better still, into
earnest and consistent Christians.
No mere conservatism can hold It's
o,n amid the active forces of society.
Young men can not be influenced by
dry and musty theories nothing but
practical, aggressive work will reach
them.

A Talk WIN a War Governor.

"Governor," said to Ex-Governor
Pierrepoint, Of Virginia, "as Republi-
can and man of observation, what do
you think of the chances of the Repub-
lican party for the next Presidency"
"That depends entirely upon circum-
stances. With harmony and first
class ticket success would come as sure
as sunlight,
"Governor"-to that veteran Grant
hater-"would Grant restore harmony
and head first-class ticket, such as you
contemplated"
The Governor is churchman and
don't swear, but he looked very fiery
furnace of indignation as he replied with
much feeling:
"No, sir! I do not contemplate
Grant as the possibility. l am talking
about Republicans-Grant never was
Republican. He took what good things
the party had to give, and he took other
gifts. l said there must be harmony
a united Republican party. There could
be neither harmony nor union with
Grant as a candidate. The old aboli-
ton element-to which | belong
doesn't forget Grants treatment, and
will not submit 10 him if it can help it.
The element will be a lion in his path. "
81 take it that YOU belong to the
'stalwarts,' Governor"
IL am for the old principles of the
Republican party"
"Well, don't you know, Governor,
that the moneyed men of the 'stalwarts
have sent Grant abroad 10 coach him
for 1892"
II don't know that, though it may be
true. 1t makes no difference, the party
won't take up Grant. If it did, be
would be the worst beaten candidate
that ever ran. The people will have no
more of Grant and the corrupt influences
which surrounded him. If he were 10
90 into the White House again, you
would see the same crowd around him.
Gov. Pierepoint has not forgotten the
treatment he received at Grants hands
when he was governor OF so much OF
Virginia as wouldn't "go South" By
the way, if it had not been for ''old
Pierp," as l have heard him playfulIy
called, it is doubtful whether West Vir-
GINA would have got loose from her
mothers apron strings. | am not going
to argue whether she would have been
better or worse off if she had staid at
home.
l asked the Ex-Governor what he
thought of the Hayes administration.
at would get along better" he said
''if it had party to back it. No adj
ministration can succeed without par
ty. | remember to have been with Ben
Wade when news came that a very re
spectacle body of New York merchants
were considering movement to noml-
nate a certain man for the Presidency,
irrespective of party.
Wade listened patiently, and replied
with characteristic vehemence: You
can no more run an administration
without party than you can run hell
without fire"
"Then you endorse the dictum OF
Ben. Wade, Governors"
Il do, though in milder terms: -

No UsURY Law WANTED IN West
VIRGINIA.-We are told that an effort
will be made by the Legislature this win
ter to pass usury and also a stay law.
The legal rate of interest in this State
is six per cent, which is an honest rate
If it were made legal to only charge
TWO per cent. it wonld not help matters
any, and they who think it would
show their ignorance. Interest is based
on the necessity of the borrower and
money is lent to great extent in this
way. A has money and is called OH by
3 who desires to borrow. u. wants 10
know what interest he has to pay, and

great work, last week, in giving dc
scripiion of the trip,among other things,
says, the canal company has OH its rolls
a total of 443 employees, of whom Is are
lock-keepers, the rest averaging about
two to the mile, to keep up repairs, &c.
Mr.. Lewis G. Starhope, who accom-
panied the party from Cumberland to
his home, in Williamsport, is the sup
eriutendeEt of Que hundred miles of the
work, his assistant being Mr.. &. V.
Hammond. Mr.. Starhope is a practi
cal man, habituated to the command of
other men, thoroughly conversant with
the needs of the work, prompt in the
remedy of disasters and fruitful in ex-
peditnts. lie was formerly contrac-
tor, and has spent much of the active
part of his career on this highway. And
the canal is great highway running
side by side with the Potomac river
and the great iron highway Of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, throughout
the wild and picturesque valley which
the stream has made from its sources in
the mountains. Even at this date, as
the season draws to a close, the canal is
an artery of traffic full ofbusiness activi-
ty. Every ten minutes OF the day boats
pass and repass each other, going to
tidewater or returning to the mountains
for burdens of coal, lumber, &c.
Preliminary steps have been taken in
Western Maryland and Virginia for
the construction of the Bloomington
and Fairfax railroad, which is designed
to be another feeder to the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal. The incorporators OF
this enterprise are Messrs. Lloyd Lown-
DIES, .Ir., A. 2. German, NJ. Bannon,
Patrick Hamill, Jno. Humbird and w.

sixty miles long, of broad gauge, begin
ming at Bloomington, in Garrett county,
Md, and extending to the West Virgil
MIA State line at the Fairfax boundary
stone. The line will follow the course
of the North Branch of the Potomac

acknowledgement Herald.
