THE STORM.

The recent wind-storm was contin-
uously severe beyond that of any which
has visited this section within the ex-
perience of our oldest citizens. Our
harbor was rendered almost unnaviga-
BILE, to any but the very smallest crafts,
by the unprecedented low tide For a
quarter of mile, from either shore OF
the Bay, persons could walk dry shod
OH the waters bed All travel was
greatly impeded- The Str. Ranger, in
crossing the sound, Saturday night,
came near laundering. She was heavi-
ly loaded with cotton, for the Norfolk
Southern Road, sixty-two bales Of
which were washed from her decks.
The drifting property was recovered on
Tuesday. With this exception No
damage to property was done.

What Shall Our Young Men Do ?
IL. S. in Middleburg School Herald.l

L.. ). in Mlddleburg School Herald
Our fathers will leave something for
us to do, The world will never be COM
plete without the actions of our young
men. There are unexplcred regions
in every science, there are powers yet
unutilized, heathens yet unconverted,
lands yet uncultivated, in fact there is
room for improvement every where, in
every department ofthought and action
and who shall lift the veil and turn on
more light but our young men of the
present age. This age is said to be
progressive one and demands progress
sive young men to lead the way. 1t
should be the aim of every young
man to get on a higher plan than those
who have fought the battles before us.
The first and last great end of every
youth should be to become men not
merely in body, butin intellect and in
the qualities which render us worthy
the name of men. Choose an occupa-
ton and try to do more in it than any
other man. If you are blacksmith
hammer out your pleasure at the anvil,
More ambition is needed to oil up the
squeakiug joints of the machinery of
life and give it new impulse If you
are lawyer, put ambition in your
argument and bring success by con-
slant pouring over your law books
merely choosing a profession is not all
that is to be done by our young men
does any one suppose that adoctor who
never reads and keeps posted can ex-
pect to handle a new case? Can a
mel chant who does not keep pace with
! the mercantile world make a success Of
buying and selling? Can the farmer
who follows the old manner of planting
and reaping that his father taught him
expect the success of him who uses i'm
proved implements and moving on
with the agricultural world? In these
things there is room for our young
men to do something, much is depend
ing upon the character of our young
men for in them lies the nations.
What our young men do is an index
to the kind of husbands they will make
and the kind of homes they will have.
We have no need for any drones in the
hive of business. No fops and dudes
are needed to sweeten the cup of life,
but young men of worth who grow up
into men of power are ALWAYS salable
for they are the ones who make the
sparks fly from whatever they under
take. We cannot all be Washingtons;
but we can all be men, and to be
man does not imply the least thing ir
creation. As young men we should
ever remember that whatever ladder
we undertake to climb it will be iul
part OF the way but there is room at the
top. When we have solved the prob
lem what shall our young men do VI
have the key that unlocks the door o
: our future.

Bringing Out a New Novel.

Suppose I, as an America. author, write
novel, and arrange with publisher to bring
it out at the price of one dollar volume, or
fifty cents paper. If he has confidence in
the book, the first edition will be 900 copies;
my share of the proceeds, on the ordinary
ten cent basis, is 800, payable at the end Of
the year. II live by my pen, l must sub
sist during that year on nothing at all; and
when get my 500 must pay out of it my
debts for that past year, and, probably, my
present funeral expenses; for who can live
on thirty five cents a day, even if he were
not obliged to starve to death before he could
enter upon the enjoyment of that princely
income3 But let US be extravagant and
utopian-let US say that my edition IS 5000
copies, instead Of ,0O0 In that case-which
perhaps occurs as often as once in thousand
times-my reward amounts to the sum OF no
less than $500; assuming, OF course, what is
never the fact, that all the copies sold are In
the dollar cloth form, and ncne in the fifty
cents paper.

Young Men.

The following quaint advice from
the Burlington Ha7okeye-man has the
"pith of truth IN it:
Remember, son, that the world is
older than you are by several thou
sands; of years it has been so full of
smart and better young men than
yourself that their feet stuck out of
the dormer windows; that when they
died the old globe went whirling on,
and not one man in ten million went
to the funeral or even heard of his
death.
Be as smart as you can, of course
Know as much as you can, without
blowing the packing out of your cylin-
der heads; shed the light of your
wisdom abroad in the world. But
don't dazzle people with it, and don't
imagine thing IS SO simple because
you say it is. Don't be too sorry for
your father because he knows SO much
less than you do ; remember the reply
of Dr.. Wayland to the student of
Brown University who said it was an
easy enough thing to make proverbs
such as Solomon wrote. "Make a
few," tersely replied the old man.
And we never heard that the young
man made any. Not more than two
or three, anyhow. The world has
great need for young men, but no
greater need than young men have of
it. Your clothes fit you better than
your fathers fit him; they cost more
money they are more Stylish; your
mustache is neater; the cut of your
hair is better; and you are prettier,
oh, far prettier than "pa." But,
young man, the old gentleman gets
the biggest salary, and his homely,
scrawling signature on the business
end of check will drain more money
out of the bank in five minutes than
you could get out with ream of
paper and copperplate signature in
SIX months.
Young men are useful, and they are
ornamental, and we all love them,
and we couldn't engineer picnic
successfully without them. But they
are no novelties, son. Oh, no, notn-
ing of the kind. They have been
here before Do not be SO modest as
to shut yourself clear out; but don't
be SO fresh you Will have to be put
away in the cool to keep from spoil
ing Don't be afraid that your merit
will not be discovered. People all
over the world are hunting for you,
and if you are worth finding, they will
find you. A diamond isn't so easily
found as a quartz pebble, but some
people search for it all the more earn.

rowed, and as much more, too, as the
lender demands. This is wholesome
finance! 1t substitutes usury for in
terest, and pays creditors money to
which they have no right whatever.
Mr.. Harrison's theory must strike
the man who works for his living, and
who owns no government bonds, as Of
fering q very peculiar sort of relief to
the people. The laborer is to be taxed
for more than the government needs
taxed on his clothes, his food, his
fuel, his tools and his house, and the
excess thus collected is to be paid to
bond-holders to induce them to sell
their bonds. This is protecting" the
American laborer-paying the bond
holder more than anybody in the mar
ket would give him-and taxing the
rest of the people to accomplish the
feat. A long course of this sort of
protection would protect four-ffths of
our citizens into the poor-house and
make millionaires of the other fifth.
The fact is, no man would put forth
such preposterous suggestion as this
who did not feel desperately conscious
that he was in an indefensible position.
1t is SO unreasonable, so unjust, SO
silly, at this juncture of our politics,
that we wonder how any man can Sc
riously make himself responsible for its
utteranCe. 1t is as if man who had
bored hole in one end of a ships
bottom should try to set things right
by boring another hole in the other
end. The evils of extravagant and
unnecessary taxation cannot be neu-
tralized by extravagant and unneces-
sary governmental expenditures. To
take unjust taxes from all the people
and then to pay them back to favor
ed few is SO mad project that we
cannot conceive Of its acceptance by
any rational mind. And yet this is
the project which Mr.. Harrison pro-
poses. And this is all that he has to
say for himself.
