Dodging the Plow Handles, One great drawbaclc to (!ie material pro gress of the South, since tlie war, is the pre vailing disposition of the bovs and young- men to dodge the plo-vv' handles and get into some shady and genteel (!) position, generally be- iiind the counter of some to-svn or country store, into the learned professions cr some agency, thus obtaining as they imagine, a more elevated and more respectable, as tvoll as more easy, position in society. In all this ave tiiink they are mistaken. In regard to respectability, the man -who is least dependent upon others and who, by his own labor, secures to himself the means of providing for himself and household, and is exempt from tlie necessity of tuickling to the whims and caprices either of individuals or tlie public, is apt to be most respected by his acquaintances. The farmer—we mean one who has intelligence enough to oomlnct Ins business with system, and who tills his acres ■a ith such success as to provide for tlie eco- uomi/al and frugal aemands of liis family and hi.s country upon him, will always command the respect of all classes ot the communitv, the lawyer, doctor, merchant and every body It is time for oiu boys to begin to take pro per views of tais subj.-ct, and to understand that to be useful and industrious is to be le .opeetable. Tiiere is as much dignity in the trade of the carpenter, bricklayer, blacksinitli or shoemaker as there is in standing behind a'.uuiiters nieasnriiig tape or weigliing tea A good tanner lias a sui'Cr and brigiiter prospect for competency a -d hamhness in lif« than a uoor doctor or a dull lawyer; aud a sensible, wkillfiil wheelwright, i cabinet-maker, fully alive to the capabUilies of Ids calling, would not swap ohances with any clerk or the agent of an uncertain enterprise without heavy boot. The hand of tlie farmer or the mechanic may be lougi’er and hart er, imt it will giasp ihecliai.ces of sn, cess in life with a qnirker motion and hold them witii a lirnier giip t laii alie soft and d'-licate claws tiiat li.tve neier ■tieen dev.-loped by scratching for a living.” Work don't hurt aiiylio !y, and onc> half of The excines we hear-f-r dodging the (ikiw handles and seeking some easy way of inau- ■ing a living originate.s in what si.me quaint ■writer calls •‘being horn constitiitionailv Tired,” in other word, originates in indolence and laziness.
