We do not pose as a great NOR

think more earnestly than ever

there is little use in trying to-
change the ways of those who are
old and 'sot' in their ways,
through the medium Of the col
umns Of the Columbian, but If
this paper, at any time, can reach
the hearts Of the young men of
the community, and lead them, or
any of them, into the paths OF rec
titude and righteousness, then the
present editor will have accom-
plished more than he hoped for
when he assumed the editorial
control hereof. We had never
thought it necessary, heretofore,
to say anything on this subject,
but now, as one who has travel
ed some Of the gaits' and obsery.

words, by way Of advice to the
