Undoubtedly the hardest problem that
presents itself to young man is what
profession to choose. He finds himself
here IN the world, with no chance to
back out if he wanted TO, everybody
rushing ahead as though they had been
kicked, and he has got to catch the feet
ing moments as they pass, or stand aside
and.let some one else catch them. Ev-
erything goes. But when he begins to
examine into matters, he is appalled, at
the chances there are against him. Ev-
cry profession seems to be full, with
hardly standing groom left. There seems
to be more doctors than patients, more
lawyers than clients, more editors than
the law ought to allow, and more In all
professions than seems absolutely neces-
sary. The young man does not see
where he has any field. What he wants
is room according to his strength. The
ring In which he is to fight his battle 81

and the atmosphere seems fixed. The
only chance seems to be in waiting until

will give employment to thousands, like
telegraphy, and then rush in and secure
prominent professional position before
the crush begins. What is wanted is
something genteel, and at the same time
lucrative.
We have been rejecting on this great
want that exists ON the part of rising
young men, feeling sure that if we could
think of some new field of operations we
would merit the encomiums, not only Of
the young men themselves, but of pos.
terity, and encomiunns are what we want.
We believe acandidly that we have
thought out a new business, in which
there is millions, and in which. thou

opportunity to crown a life of labor with
an age of ease. The new scheme is hon.
esty. There is hardly business man
of any kind who has not at some time
felt the need of an honest man, but did
not know where to send for one. Now,
suppose one of these young men should
open an office in Wisconsin street, and
put out his sign, 81. Smythe, Honest

ness. People would come to him from
all over, requesting his services for odd
jobs that they might have in his line,
and he would fairly coin money. So long
as he furnished fair sample of honesty
he would have plenty of customers; and
then he would be free from all that petty
strife and competition that is the, bane
of those in other professions. He would
