Robert BIissart the labor agitator
said to-day: "Just as John Browns
death was the first death IN the re-

sure to come. Tho boycott is our
most effective weapon and we shall
see If Gould can withstand it. The
strikers are going TO be supported
by u.s." AT the clothes cutters
meeting on Saturday each man was
assessed one dollar weekly for
them, and we have 1900 members.
Jay Gould was asked if he had
discovered IN what way the mem
bers of the Central Labor union
proposed to boycott him, replied
that he did not and was rather
curious to know. Looking down
at his clothes he remarked, 81 have

yet, in a glorious country like ours,
there are many avenues in which
they can carve out their fame and
fortune Every man is what he
wills to be. There are SO many in
stances OF obscure youths rising to
eminence that there is the greatest
encouragement for young men to
put forth every effort to better their
condition. Not that all can be ex-
pectcd to reach the same degree OF
success, or arrive at the same goal,
but the idea is that the highest po-
sition may be aimed at and sought
for. The want of natural talents
may be largely supplied and in
creased by close and constant ap-
plication, and SO far as obtaining an
education is concerned, the trueism
Of the old adage that where there $
will there's way has been
proven time and again. A large
portion ofthe eminent men OF the
country have obtained their educa-
ton under the greatest difficulties;
and in spite oi them; and frequently
unaided by friends; and the same
ambition to achieve distinction has
carried them on to their present ex-
allied positions. And in this respect
history will repeat ITSELF" The
young men who are now exerting
themselves to overcome the diff
culties which surround them; who
are giving their attention to the cul-
tivatlon OF their minds and the for
nation Of good characters; who re-
fuse to be carried away by the pas
sion of foolish amusements, will BIZ
the leading and successful men OF
the future. Now, if the youths Of our
land could have this fact impressed
upon their minds, and could fully
realize what opportunities they have
to become leading and influential
men, how different would be the
course of the great majority OF them
who are pursuing an aimless life
content to occupy in society a
mediocre position-waiting Micaw-
balike, for something to turn up"

not that if the day Of judgment was ap-

be season of house. cleaning and cold

l have no doubt that the bric-a-brac
would be slowed away securely IN an

times accuse women of being thought
less. vet that was careful wife and

she alone in what men call eccentric
cussedness. There is the case of another

quart of milk on the day of Virgins

we say that our wives are thoughtless
and have it on the authority of mar
