LOCATING ELsEwHERE.-A num-
Der of our young men have secured po-
sitions in Baltimore and elsewhere and
will leave in a few weeks. Such is gen
orally the case. Our young men, who
have the ability to secure positions
abroad, are never really recognized as
worthy of any thing like true remuner-
alton for their services, until they have
departed for other business marts. OF
course, it is not expected a country
town can pay wages equal to the city /;
nor should it be deemed right by EN-
ployers to have good workmen labor for
nothing. The fact is, in truth, that a
compromise between employer and en-
ploye would, in nine cases out of ten,
prove effective in retaining skilled work.
men at fair wages. The practice of
having continual apprenticeship work
il not paying one. Better have one
good workman, and pay him liberal
rates, than to be continually worried
and frettsd by multiplicity of urchins
and makeshifts, who always keep you
in hot water.
