So we heard a great, strapping
young man eXclaim the other day.
We concluded that he wanted a little
practical sdvice, and VIC will give it
to him.
You want capital, do you? And
suppose you had what you call capt.
tai, what would you do with it?
Haven't you hands, feet, muscle, bone,
brains, health, and don't you call that
capital? What more capital did God
give anybody?
"Oh, but they arc not money!" say
you. But they are more than money,
and nobody can take them from you.
Don't you know how TO use them q?
If you don't, it's time you were learn
ing. Take hold OF the pillow, or hoe,
or jack-plane, or braad-axe, and 90 to
work. Your capital will then, in due
time, yield you u large interest. Az,
but there's the rub; you don't want
to work; you a money on credit
so you can play gentleman and spccu-
late, and end by playing the vagsbond.
Or you want a farm with plenty Of
hands upon it to do the work while
you run over the country and dissi-
pate ; or you want to marry some rich
girl who may be foolish enough to
take you for your good looks, that she
may support you.
Shame on you, young man! Go to
work with the capital you have, and
you'll soon make interest enough
upon it TO give you as much money as
you need, and maze you feel like a
a Ii you cannot make money on
what capital you have, you could not
it you had a large amount in cash. |:
you do not know how to use bone,
muscle, and brains. you would not
know how 10 use gold. Ii you let the
capital you have lie idle, and waste,
and rust out, it would be the same
with YOU il you had gold ; you would
only know how 10 waste it.
Then don't stand about, q great,
helpless boy, waiting 10, something
to turn up, but go to work. Take the
first work you can find, no matter
what IL IL, :" that you do il we'll
always do your best. If you n
the capital you already have, you will
soon have plenty more to manage;
but il you cannot or will not n ~
the capital God has given you, you
will never have any other TO
DO you hear, young man?
Some of our bourbon friends are
very unhappy because Senator Ed
mnnds lie not stumping the country
far Blaine.F Not TO speak of the pa
tent fact that they would be much
more miserable il he were, il is per-
haps only necessary to tell them that
the senato- is not in the habit OF
stamping, and that he has made a
speech or two this fall that quite
