Earnestness of purpose, bonesty in dealings, uprightness in principle, with a willlnguess to worth and talents propelled by energy, and no young man to-day need fear of final success. It may uot come at once. Me may not find the right place the fiist time.. But the country is large, and opportunities exist ou every hand lor the right sort of a young man. He need have no fear of finding adequate recognition at the hands others. Let him demonstrate that he deserves recognition, and he will find that uot only all things, but the very best of things “comes to him who w*its,” aud we had better add to the proverb “and works.” An exchange that has been figuring things, and is said to know whereof he speaks, says that in the Michigan City penitentiary there are about 900 prisoners, and a careful interview with them individnallv reveals the fact that most of them were termed “fast young men” ana who delighted to act smart, drink lager beer, high wines, etc , aud felt highly elated if they could get into a scrap occasionally. It did no good for those most interested in the welfare of these young men to try to pursuade them to change their ways, for being “exceedingly wise in their own egotism,” they only sneered and kept on front badjo worse,-until finally they wore the striped suits and had plenty of time to reflect.
