THE NEW MOUTHS.

In less than two weeks the country will
be flooded with the 1885 Nmy Of graduates.
What viii we do with them is very pe-tin-
ent question, but not halt so pertinent as
the interrogatory what viii l do for my
selfS' that hundreds must Of necessity ask
themselves. For all such it would be well
if they could muster up sufficient resolution
to 90 to manual labor if they can gel it and
stand it. No man should think because he
owns the sheekspin he is ineligible to hard
work. It's just the reverse. His education
;ught to make him the more independent
Ind better fitted for his duty whether hard
or easy.
Ifhe can get out on q farm and in the
harvest field, or in the workshop and learn
trade; il, in short, he can do anything
bat keeps him from lOsfng or waiting for
nething to turn up, he will be lOOPer cent.
5s.ter of when the good tunes again strike
the country and clerical and professional
labor are in demand. Just OF present, aud
very likely for some time to come, there IS
stagnation in all branches Of business that
is widespread and universal and which hiss
not had It's equal in years, All this Is the
result Of oysrrading and over-production.
A sort of mushroom growth that was bound
to be nippe1 with the slightest frost in the
way of bad crop, long drouths, severe
winters or great influx IRON
abroad Of psuper labor, or its
near kin. The people have been
living too fast and too luxuriously. Two
men have been doing one mans work in
private as well as public life, and all because
we thought we had the prosperity to indulge
in this pleasant relief But as there is set
Element day in all things. the time had to
come sooner or later when people must find
out where they stand. That time appears
to be at hand, and everybody is casting up
accounts, taking an inventory and striking
q balance in order to see where they are,
or where they are going to land.
..As the graduates Of the various UNIVERSE
ties and colleges this month have not yet
opened an account with the world, they are
in splendid condition to strike out for them
selves without being hampersd BY fOssihzed
accounts or bad debts At the outset the
graduate ought to hug the shore closely
