THE DIGNITY OF LABOR

The Rev. Robert Christie, of
Lexington. Ky, has delivered 10
that city an excellent discourse to
youag men on the dignity OF labor.
Having spoken Of labor as a pri
mary duty. and as path to ipde-
pendence, he next pointed oat how
it lead to promotion, aud thus illus
t.ated his idea: III care not how
humble the branch of business may
be, there is not trade or u branch
of labor that some man has not made
the stepping stone to wealth, to in
huence, TO greatness Andrew
Johnson went from the tailor's board
to the presidential chair; Burnside
rose from the same level; Henry
Wilson went to the presidential
chair from the shoe makers bench ;
Mackenzie, late premier of Canada,
was once stone mason. There
fore, if you would advance, get a
trade, no matter what, for you will
leap further from the lowest branch
than from a dead level. Don't wait
for a change in outward circumstan-
ces. Don't waste your time in La
menting your humble lot or blaming
sad fate. That old Roman spose
the troth who said, THE fault dear
Brutus, is not in our stars, but in
ourselves, that we are underlings."
Archimedes said, "Give me a stand,
ing place and will move the
world" And great many young
men are content to echo the wish OF
the philosopher. They say, Give
me a place suitable to my ability and
| will exert an influence. Goethe
says to all such, "Make good thy
standing place and move the world. !"
You must be rooted firmly in your
own strength before you can move
or influence anybody. Only weak
ling has to be lifted into any posi-,
ton. The youth who is industrious,
Intelligent, temperate and persever'
ing, holds the key to all positions.

AMONG other scorching remarks
made by Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, in reply to Mr.. ConkIing 8
speech on the army bill and the
South, he said "Nr. ConkliDg had
told the South to go to work. The
South was at work. Delicate wo
men, not black, but white, toiled in
the cotton fields all day. There
we're no tramps, thank God, in the
South. No man might lack food and
shelter" Whereupon the New York
Star says: ayes, it is a fact, that
while very many white people at the
North are pinched for food, and
tramps and beggars are seen every
where, and while Republican dema-
gogues are crying out about negroes
suffering in the South, there is no
mau, woman or child, black or white,
but that can get food and shelter ia
that section of country. And, in
deed, no where are common laborers
better paid or more sure OF work il
disposed to labor. But to cslumniate
the South and Southerc people is the
old policy of such Republican lead
ers as ConkliDg, Edmunds, aud 9th
or stalwarts, and no doubt it will
continue to be SO. IL is the South,
the South all the time, before the
war, after the war, when slavery ex-
isted, and since it has been abolished
nothing but the South. The Re-
publicans have no other platform
and nothing else to go upon"

GO WEST, YOUNG MAN.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye is do

to 60 West and grow up with the
country. This is the advice it gives
them: Eyes, son, yes, yes; go out
West and buy farm. There is no
life so independent as that of the
honest farmer. DO not be discour
aged if the work is little hard at
FIRST. The grasshoppers will eat up
all your first planting, but they will
devour it so early 10 the season that
you could plant second time. They
won't eat that planting until just
about three days before harvest.
Then you will have nothing to do all
the fall and winter, and you can put
in your full time starving. The
next years crop will be destroyed
by constant rains and foods. The
third year drought will burn every
thing up that has root or a leaf
within ten miles of your farm. The
fourth year, however will 60. You
will raise blooming crop, got it all
ia and safely housed, and sit down
happy and contented, waiting for
the market to rise. Then a prairie
fire, as big IS butt end of the uni
verse, will come aloag and burn up
everything you have in the world
except the clothes ycu have on.-
