Italians Going North.

The Southern Railway depot in this
city about noon today was thronged
with another band of Italians who had
quit work near Ditchley and were on
their way north. They were about on a
par with the gang which passed through
here day or two ago. They all looked
as though they were sullen over some
grievance except at times when they
carried on animated conversations IN
their own dialect. None seemed to be
acquainted with the English language.

ed; If these are the causes, young
man, you still have a chance 1t is
neither what you are to-day nor what
you expect to be tomorrow but it is
what you prepare yourselves to be
that determines, your future success
or failure. How many young men
who have been so poor during their
early stage of life that they could not
even afford lamp to read and study
by at night, but got their education by
the futterlng glow of the fire on the
hearth. How many young men have
begun at the very bottom and risen to
the very zenith while all the world, as
1t were, seemed working against his
aim Therefore, young man. don't
give up while there is still a spark of
hope left.

the can't get workout that's not so;
they don't half try. Some are too
high toned to be a coachman or Ia
borer, and they haven't the energy to
try to become a proficient lawyer,
merchant, or in simple words, man
among men. Have you ever thought
that the reason you have not been
advanced to more lucrative position
was because you lacked courage and
pluck? If you will devote your time
and talent to just one thing, and de-
termine to do it, you will surely sue
ceed. Still others are even too lazy to
work, but generally they are few and
far between.
Just think of it. There are $4,000
people in Yonkers. Among them are
many hundreds of our race, and not
one in all that throng is able to call
himself a man of profession, unless he
processes to be a Christian (barring
the clergymen). If you have a talent
push it TO its extreme; if you have
a gift become absorbed IN it. The
young man will never become any
thing unless he tries.
The young man generally likes
good time, but half the time he doesn't t
know what a good time is. He works
hard all the week for about nine dol
lars, comes home Saturday evening at
o'clock, pays his board of a few dol
lars, dresses himself for the night and
is off for what he calls "a good time"
1t may be at the lounging bar he sips
the foamlng bowl, or may be at the
gamblers bench he wins or loses in
turn. Late in the night or early Sun
day morning he tramps along the
street, without cent, or may be, as
luck would have it, he is a winner. A
few hours sleep and he arises, weary
of the night before. Monday morning
finds him with what they call a big
head; he is down-hearted and life
GEMS hardly worth living.
Young man, turn! before it is too
late. If you keep on trudging that
rocky track you'll see your mistake,
but you'll see it too late. Throw down
those bad habits and let the good
times go, for if you only will to do it
you can do it, with just a little spunk
and courage. Perseverance and cOur-
age will accomplish wonders, and if
our race will only have courage and
perseVere, what more can be asked?
