Docs the young man who persists in
being n loafer ever reflect how much less
i. would cost TO be decent, respectable
man? Does lie imagine that loaferism
is more economical than gentility? Any
body can be a gentleman, ii he chooses
to be, without much cost, but tits mighty
expensive being loafer. 1t costs time,
in the first place, days, weelzsan months
of it; in fact, about all the time he has,
forno man can be a first-class loafer with
out devoting his whole time to it. The
occupation, well followed, hardly affords
time for eating, sleeping, dri-, we
had almost said drinking, but on reilec-
tion we will except that. The loafer
finds time to drink whenever invited, at
the cost Of friends. Once fullyembarked
on the sea of loaferdom, and You bid
farewell to every friendly sail that sails
under an honest and legitimate flag.
Your consorts will only be the bucca-
neers Of society. II costs money, for,
though the loafer may not earn cent
or have one for months, the time lost
might have procured him much money,
if devoted to industry instead Of sloth
IL costs health, vigor, comfort, all tho
true pleasures Of living, honor, dignity,
self-respect, and the respect of the world
when living, and, finally, all right Of con-
sideration when dead. Be gentleman,
then it is far cheaper.

sOME MEXIcAN STATISTICS.
4 NcighbOrins Republic OF which
Know Little.


Mexico is Federal republic, com
prising twenty-seven States, one Terri-
tory and one Federal district, that Of the
capital. The total area is 741 BIB square
miles, with population of 10,00O,000.
This population is classified, each race
and mixed grade having it's own sepa-
rate name and special status. The pure
races are classed under three Spanish
names, as white, Indian and negro. The
various race mixtures furnish ihe MeNi-
cans with twenty-ono sepamtely-namcd
grades. There are about 80. 600 foreign
whites, 1000, 600 native whites on Gro
oles, 5000 600 Indians, and the balance
are mixed races, with few pure me-
groes. One-tenth Of the Mexican nation,
occupying chiefly the table lands, and
residing mostly in the cities, own uenlly
all the developed mines, lands and other
property. The remaining nine-tenths
are the laboring classes.
With the most favorable results it
must be years before the railroad com
panies shall reap their full reward, set
1t is not impossible if no financial de-
prcssion shall interfere, and provided
the Mexican Government proves ablo to
meet its subsidy promises, that such
roads as shall he economically built ana
honestly managed may at least pay cx.
penses from the beginning. ln this con-
