Plain Talk For Young Men.

Remember, my young friend, that the
world is older than you are, by several
years; that for thousands of years it has
been full of smarter and better young
men than yourself; that when they died
the old globe went whirling on, and that
not one man in ten million went to the
funeral OF even heard of the death. Be
smart as you can, of course. Know as
much as you can; shed the light of your
wisdom abroad in the world; but don't
try to dazzle OF astonish the people with
it. And don't imagine a thing is so simple
because you may happen to think it is.
Don't be too sorry for your father be-
cause he knows so much less than you do;
he used to think he was as much smarter
than his father as you think yOu are
smarter than yours.
The world has great need of young
men, but no greater need than the young
men have of the world. Your clothes fit
| you better than your fathers fit him;
they cost more money; they are more styl-
| ish. He used to be straight and nimble,
and perhaps thought his father old-fash-
ioned. Your moustache is better, and

''pa.'' But, young man, the old gentle
man gets the biggest salary, and his
homely, scrambling signature on the bust
ness end of a check will drain more money
out of a bank in five minutes than you
could get with a ream of paper and a cop
per plate signature in six months.
Young men are useful and they are
ornamental, and we all love them, and we
, couldn't engineer a picnic successfully
without them. But they are not novel
ties. They have been seen before. Every
generation has a full supply of them, ant
will have till the end of time; and eacf
crop will think themselves quite ahead o.

for your old, odd ways. Don't be afraiC
that your merit will not be discovered
= People all over the world are hunting TO
you, and if you are worth finding they

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA.

Il am dying, Egypt dying."-ShaAespeaTt
I am dying, Egypt, dying,
Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast,
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arm, oh, Queen, support me,
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear;
Hearken TO the great heart secrets
Thou. and thou alone. must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legions
Bear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked and shattered galleys
StreW dark ActiUm's fatal shore:
Though no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt to do their masters will,
1 must perish like Roman
Die the great Triumvir still
Let not CRSaP's serTile miniOns
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman's hand that slew him
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Here, then, pillOwed on thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly flung world away!
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assaiI my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Oetavia,
Weeps within her widowed home,
Seek her-say the gods have told me,
Affairs, augurs, eircling wings,
That her blood with mine cOmmingled
Yet shall mount the throne of kings.
And for thee, star eyed Egyptian.
Glorious sorceress of the Nile,
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the splendors Of thy smile.
Give the Cesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel twine;
can scorn the senate's triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.
am dying, Egypt, dying;
Hark! insulting foeman's cry;
They are coming-quick, my falchion!
Let me front them ere die
All! no more amid the battle
Shall my heart exulting swell;
Isis and Osiris guard thee
Cleopatra! Rome! farewell!

smoothed-shOd person whipped in, halted
at the end of the door, and in sweet-sug-

An era of commercial prosperity is
destined soon to dawn upon tho Southern
States, by the erection of fourishing
manufacturing interests in our midst
The reasons which indicate this change
are forcibly expressed by the Philadel-
phia North american, which says: "There
is very little doubt that cotton manufac-
turing in the North will become thing
of the past within q generation after
prosperity is restored in the South. It
will no longer pay to carry tho raw ma
terial hundreds Of miles and transport
coal and supplies to the colder climate of
the North, when both can be saved by
tho erection of factories on the spot.
New England will lose her cotton mills,
just as she lost her glass factories, when
the manufacture was begun at Pittsburg,
and the freight on coal and sand saved.
The future of the South is in her own
hands, and she alone holds control of her
destiny" AS soon as the excitement of
the next presidential canvass is over, if
the Southern States retain their Demo-
cratic governments, rs they no doubt
will, the work of building up factories
will begin, and as they get into success
fuf operation, general prosperity will
begin to dawn upon all occupations in
our midst,

Ii the New York newspapers are to be
believed, United States Commissioner
Davenport arrested 5onio six Or eight
thousand persons in New York just be.
fore or during the last election, on the
alleged ground that they were not prop
erly in possession Of their registration
papers. This was done to assist the Re-
publicans in carrying New York, and is
spoken OF as very great oppression and
inconvenience to the citizens generally.
1t was, however, TO help the Republicans,
and therefore Mr.. Davenport remains in
office, and very little fusa has been made
about it, although % New York Herald
says plainly that he ought to be removed.
An impartial observer, to have noted the
election proceedings both North and
South, would think from the amount of
attention alleged Southern frauds are
receiving, while SO little is said of those
at the North, that it was much greater
crime to commit a fraud in Southern
election than in q Northern one. The
reason of this, however, is that the cry
is raised against the South to prevent
Investigation of the greater crimes COM
mitted in some of the Northern elections.

USELESS nEsoLUTIoNs. (.

Even the Senate of the United States
docs foolish things sometimes, and among
them is the rsssssso G: thc fo!!!oo.w::;;;; scso-
lutions, offered by Senator Edmunds, on
the re-assembiing of the Senate after the
Christmas holidays:
Resolued. AS the judgment Of the SEN
ate, that the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments TO the constitution
Of the United States havo been legally
ratified, and are az valid and of the same
paramount authority as any other part Of
the constitution that the people OF each
State have common interest in the en-
forccment of the whole constitution in
every State in the Union, and that it ia
alike the right and duty of Congress TO
enforce said amendments, and to protect
every citizen in the exercise of the rights
thereby secured by laws Of the general
character already passed for that purpose,
and by further appropriate legislation, 80
far as such enforcement and protection
arc not secured by existing laws; and
that it is the duty Of tho executive de-
partment Of tho government faithfully
and with diligence to carry all such laws
into Impartial execution, and Of Congress
to appropriate all moneys needful to that
end.
Resoiued, further, That it is the duty Of
Congress to provide by law for the full
and impartial protection Of all citizens Of
the United States, legally qualified, in
the right to vote for Representatives in
Congress, and to this end the Commi:tce
on the Judiciary be, and it hereby is, in
structed to prepare and report, as soon
as may be, q bill for the protection of
ruch rights, and the punishment OF in
fractions thereof.
Tho Senate is not judicial body for
the construction of law, and therefore its
opinion as to the constitutional amend
mcnts is not worth any more than the
opinion of the same number of private
citizens of equal ability. 1t, therefore,
can accomplish nothing by its dcclara-
ton of the effect Of the constitutional
amendments, and the instruction to the
Judiciary Committee to report bill to
secure protection to citizens in their
rights of suffrage is only intended as a
little cheap party capital. To begin
with, the Senate knows very we'll that
the right of suffrage is now fully protec-
ted and exercised, and in the next place
the Committee will not have time to pre-
pare and report bill that can possibly
be passed before the present Congress
ends. Therefore the whole proceeding
was foolish and child-like piece of bus
incss on the part of the Radical Senators,
who realize that power will pass from
them ON the 4th of March never perhaps
TO return again.
