Adcfce to u Young Man.

Give the poor man chance, Ny SOD,
the poor man takes about all the chances
without waiting TO have one given him. If
you give him any more chances than he
takes, he will soon own every thing, and
run the rich man out of the country. The
fact is, we must curtail the poor mans
chances little. We must sit down on
him, and hold him down, and give the rich
man chaLce. The poor man has had
things his own way too long. He has
crowded the rich man out. But for the
poorman this old world would have cast
anchor six thousand years ago, and he
covered with moss and barnacles tod ~,
like United States man-of-war. George
Peabody was a boy in grocery; Edgar
Allen Poe was the son OF strollins players;
John Adams was the son Of a farmer; Ben
jamiD Franklin, the printer, was the son OF
a tallow chandler; Clifford, the first editor
Of the Quarterly Review, was a common
sailor; Ben johnson was bricklsyer; the
father of Shakespeare couldn': spell, and
couldn't write bis own nsme-nelther can
you; even his illustrious son couldn't spell
it twice alike; Robert Burns was child Of
poverty, the eldest OF seven children, the
family of poor bankrupt; John Milton
was the son of scrivener; Andrew Jack
son was the son of poor 1rishmsn; An
boy of all work, too poor even to have
regular trade; Grant was tanner; Lin
coin keel boatman and common farm
hand, and The Prince OF Wales is the son of
q Queen. Il is his misfortune, not his
fauit, he couldn't help il, apd he can't help
it NV. But you see, my dear boy. that is
all tnete is of him; he's just the Prince of
Wslt>, and he's only that because he can't
help ii. Be thankful, my son, that you
were not born prince; be glad that you
didn't strike twelve the first time. II there
is patch on your knee and your elbows
are 81 ossy there is some ope for you, but
never again let me hear you say the poor
man has no chance. True, poor lawyer.
poor doctor poor printer, poor work
mau of any kind has no chance; he de-
serves to have none; but be poor man mo-
nopolizes about all the chances there are.
Put Labau and Jacob in business together
anywhere, and in about fourteen years ia
cob will not only own about four-tfths Of
the cattle but be will have married one half
his partners family. Go to, my son, let US
give the rich man chance,-BRrdette in
BROOKLYN EdGle.

1t will surprise many of our readers,
says the Southern World, to know that next
to Tennessee, the good old State oil Maine
has about the largest colony of active sous
in the city of Atlanta, and at the head Of
the list stances the venerable and honored
citizen, Col. l.. p. Grant, whose long life OF
usefulness here has been supplemented by
his generous gilt of "Grant Park" for the
benef fit OF future generations. We have no
worthier or more respected cltlZen IMAM
Col Grant, and it is hoped that he may
live yet many years To see his park gift ex'
paud in beauty and become blessing t..
our people. Next TO him comes the Hon.
Jonathan NorcroSs, who saw Atlanta, then
ii wilderness, slowly develop into cross
roads, then into railroad station, village,
town, city, aud finally in,o the Capital ol
the State, In all OF which he took an active
part. In later years, came morrill,, Buck,
