To Young Men and YOUNG women.

There always seems to be demand
for young people who know how to do
some one thing we'll. Any young per-
son who is thoroughly good and in
telligent Htenogranher, or bookkeeper,
can generally find profitable employ
ment. This accounts for the numerous
enrolments at Goldey College, Eighth
and Market streets, an institution
which ia widely known as one OF the
most thorough in the country, and
whose influence and endorsement of a
graduate is generally sufficient to en-
able the graduate TO get good pc.
sition. The college is busy now re-
ceiving applications from prospective
students for the spring months.
