Carnegie's Advice to Young Men. Youth's Companion : Yon are about to start in life and it is well that young men should begin at the bigin uing and occupy the most subordinate positions. Manv of the business men of Pittsburg had a serious responsibil ity thrust upon them at the very thresholds their career, lhey were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeeping out the office I wasa sweeper myself, and who do you suppose my fellow sweepers were? David McCargo, now superintendent of the Alleghaney Valley railroad; Robert Pitcairn, superintendent of the Penn sylvania railroad; and Mr. Moreland, city attorney of Pittsburg. Begin at the beginning, but aim high. 1 would not give a fig for the jrouiig man who does not already see himself the partner or head of some important firm. There are three dangers in your path. The first is the drinking of Uquor. The second is speculation, the third is "indorsing." When I was a telegraph operator in Pittsburg I knew all the men who speculated. . They were not our citi zens of firstj'epute. They were re garded with suspicion. I have lived to see all of them ruined, bankrupt in money and character. 1 here is scarce ly an instance of a man who hasraade a fortune by speculation and kept it. The man who grasps the morning paper to se& how his speculative ven tures are likely to result tmhts himself ior rne cairn consmeraiwu hh ru per i.i . :iU . i wuicii ue lias iu uu wuu mm tu me . , ! 1 I 1 , I Mir aim an ,-vj, rna cnnruj nr rni r nor- i sistent and concentrated energy upon which depends the permanent success and often the very safety of his main business. The thorough man of bus iness knows that only by years of pa tient, unremitting attention to affairs can he earn his reward which is the , wine ii i.s tuc result not of chanee. uut v. eU-ue- vised means of thiMtttainment of ends Nothing is more essential to young business men than untarnished credit aid nothing kills credit sooner than the knowledge in any bank board than a man who engages in speculation. How can a man be credited whose re sources may be swept away in one hour by a panic among gamblers? Resolve to be business men but speculators never. The tBird danger is the perilous habit of endorsing notes: It appears to your generous instincts and you say, "How can I refuse to lend my name only toassist a ' friend?"' It is be cause there is so much that is true and commendable in that view that the practice is so dangerous. If yon owe anything, all of your capital and all of yokir effects are a solemn trust in your hands to be held inviolate for the se- curityjottnosewnonaye uyou. 0.1. 1 .

Our young partners in Carnegie Brothers5 have won their spurs by showing that we did uot know half as well what was wasted as they did. There is one sure mark of tte com ing millionaire: his revenues always exceed his expenditures. Ha begins to save as soon as he begins to earn, for every $100 yon can produce as the re sult of hard-won savings, Midas, in search of a partner, will lend on credit $1,000; for every $1,000, $50,000. , It is not capital that your seniors re quire, it is the man that has proven he has the business habit that nuke cap ital. Begin at once to lay up some thing. It is the first hundred dollars that tells. And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret; concentrate your energy, thought .and capital ex clusively upon the business m which you are engaged. Having begun on one line resolve to fight it out on that line; to lead in it; adopt every improve ment, have- the best machinery and know the most about it. Finally, do not be impatient, for, as Emerson says, "No one can cheat you out of the ultimate success but yourselves. lew Western Hail tray UUHte. The Protection We Want. vv e are ror protection, out it is pro tection for agriculture, the lending in dustry of the South and West, the fun damental in Just ry of the whole coun try. We hold that it is entitled to some consideration at the bauds of our law-raukers. We hold that it is high time the infant industries of the North which have grown iutd lusty giants, to say the least of them, were allowed to some extent to look after themselves and that the languishing interest of the farmers should receive some atteirtiou It is the basis interest of the land and while it is depressed as it is now and has been since the republicans estab lished their high protection principle no other interest can prosper save as a fungoid growth, so to speak, on the body of the people. Legislation has been steadily away from the interests of agriculture ever since the republican party secured the . ii mm rn i airection or public aiiairs. The pre seni high tariff taxation, "the surplus revenue, the tax on raw materials, is directly against the wefare of the far mer. The mortgaged West cries out for relief. The South under the al most crushing burden it has to bear waiting patiently for the day when its load might be lilted and its leading in terest be allowed at least an even chance to make headway toward inde pendence. It is waiting still. The democratic administration just ended did what it could for the refiel of the toiling masses. Our democratic presi dent pleaded as few men have done even in this republic of free and equal citizens for justice to the toilers, for U t f tariff tax ,cducti the impartial treatment of all interests, . e-n. ...i..o i, Ki.iiiniMivr in i iir iii iinin w w r ii in mm t-r ri---o- - r well niuh ,i 11 UCOWail 1MI UKil JJUII nil no - '. avail.

We long for tbo day jvhen the ereat West will join with the South in the work of freeing agriculture T ... from the shackles that bind it, from the weight that bears it down almost beyond the hope of ever rising again; when the westerners will no longer be induced by appeals that they should contemn to "vote as they fought," but will vote with their brethern of the South for the best interests of both and of the whole country, regardless of sectionalism, regardless of State lings, regardless of all but the common brotherhood of the people of the Unit ed States and the fact that an injury to one individual or to any one section is an miury to all And we do not think the day is dis I UIUI. tant.

The hearty words came from the lips of some one in the crowd gathered round a building enveloped, in flames, and were prompt ed by the momentary faltering or a brave fireman at the final effort that was needed to save a human life. In stantly hats were waving in the air, and above the crackling and roaring of the fire the cheering of the multitude below fell upon tHe ears of the waver ing fireman. Electrified by the ap- Clause, he renewed his efforts, beat ack the flames thai scorched his face, burst in the window that would not young firla strength, and through a cloud of smoke and fire bore his unconscious burdento her weeping friends below. : 5 "Give him a cheer," said a voice in the audience, as the young aspirant for academical honors began to hesitate in the midst of his well-prepared oration. tir - i ...... -i. . ..ii i ui.c mil.

In this very way the applause of a sympathetic and re sponsive audience bears up the speak ers, who otherwise would fail. - Mr Gladstone once said, "A speaker gets from his hearers in vapjr that which he gives back to them m Hood, and when they have got it they return iL to him with interest.

Let him know that you appreciate tiis efforts, and will be disappointed if he fails. If he does a noble thing give him a cheer by telling him he has done well. It wil give him strength to meet new trials and temptations. "(jive him a cheer the stranger within your gates. No matter how brief a tarrying he may make, bid him welcome. Do not let him co awav feeling that no one feels an interest in his welfare. I have in mind a young girl who went through life under a cloud. She had many .things' to discourage her. She was misrepresented and misunder stood. No one spoke a cheering word to her, or offered to lend a hand when troubles thickened about her. People did not understand her shrinking na ture. They mistook her seclusiveness for pride until in a fit of desperation she took away the life Got! had given her. A little note among her effects explained the seemingly rash act. It ran thus: "1 can endure this strain no longer. If I only had help to carry my burden I would try to be brave and stand up under its weight, but in all this wide viorld I have not one friend. No one has ever given me a cheering word, or dropped a tear of pity over my hard fate. ' Then over her icy form the neighbors lamented their lack of sympathy, and tears of regret in plenty fell about the still white face now mute in death. Enough appreciative tender words to have gladdened her whole life were wasted around her coffin and over her grave. But what good did they dj when they fell upon the ears hushed in death? "Give them a cheer." A host of weary, toiling men and women are to day calling loudly for cheering words and helpful ministries. Do not krep the cheer that would bless them lying idly in your hearts or tremblingly un said upon your lips to scatter around their tombs when they are dead, bring the flowers that you are keeping for their coffins and strew along their paths te-day while they are alive to inhale their sweet fragrance. "Give them a cheer." Words of honest praise will spoil no man. If i m you gain a blessing from a sermon or a prayer, it will encourage the pre.icn er to hear vou say. If some one's holy living strengthens you and helps you on to a better life, would he not be happier to know of the unconscious influence he is exerting? "Give him a cheer." No matter where, or when, or how yon come in contact with poor struggling souls, lend them a hand give them a hand give them a cheer that will help them to live better, nobler lives.

The present- indications boint to a pretty general exodus of the negroes of iL!. ii i rn. . mis oiaie. a here are three forces nl mighty forces with the neero -at work- to mak this movement a general one. Tw t. 1 1.1 . " ... ! ... mc uiai, uiaue me party wun wmch they have allied themselves since eman cipation, are encouraging them to go. inei; a gooa many oi those, who have already gone We-t are writing' back such letters to their old .friends,, con cerning the advantages of the move. mat mose iest Denina are on hre to get off. The third and most nofpnt far that is moving them, is the counten ance given the movement by the negro preachers. They are preachiag emi gration from .every pulpit. These three influences combined are power ful enough to move nine-tenths of the negroes from the State in the next two years. W hat then are we to do? That is the question. Of course the negroes have the right to go as they please; we can do nothing to keep them here, nor should we be so inclined if we had the power. We may as well make up our minds to their going, and turn our at tention to what is to be done after they are goie. The State will probably suffer for a short time from his with drawal of so many laborers, but in a short time it will recover and be better off for the riddance of so many negroes. The thing to be done is for the white people to go to work and tend' their own lands, instead of having the ne groes do it for them. What's the matter with us now is that we have too many white men who are depending for a living on the work of negroes. The farmers will have to stop sending their sons to towns, seek ing employment as clerks, &c but must put them to work on the farms. Now it is too frequently the case that as a young fellow gets a tolerable educa tion he is above working on a farm, but mint go to town and become a gentleman. Why hecan'ta be as much a gentleman ou the farm as when be hind the counter? It is every bit as honorable, indeed we have more respect for the young man who prefers to re main on his farm and produce some thing, than for the one who comes to town and tries to play the dandy un der hair parted in the middle and be hind the abominable cigarette. Holding the handles of a plow is every bit as honorable as measuring calico, and is decidedly 'more so than loafing around town doing nothing. It is better to make ones self a man than a gentleman. God did not make Adam a gentleman; He made him a man, and that is what each boy in North Carolina should strive to make himself. Let the negroes go and let the white people tend their own lands and there by show that they think farming as honorable an occupation as preaching, practicing law or medicine or any other calling. Then our old State will be gin to go out of tb? wood. Durham Plant. A Brave Man and a Bold Captain. Is Mr. Flagler the proprietor of the Ponce de Leon Hotel, f St. Augus tine, Fla., if we may judge from the following taken frcm the Baltimore Sun: "Curious stories come from the Ponce de Leon Hotel in St. Augustine. Mr. Flagler's expenditure there now amounts to nearly $0,000,000. Early In January there were only twelv guests in the hotel. At the same time two bands were engaged there. One was a Spanish band that played during the dinner hour on mandolins and sang quaint Spanish songs. The other was a famous New York band, which played in the courts at the morning and evenio concerts. Mr. Seavey, the manager of the hotel, wrote Mr. Flag ler and suggestd as there were only twelve guests in the house, he dispense with one of the bands. -Mr. l?iaglr wrote back that he didn't want any -susaestions from Mr. Sevey as to how Lexpeuses should be decreased, but that f he had anything to soy as to how the attractiveness of the hotel could be in creased, he would be glad to hear from him. Mr. Flagler does not seem to be discouraged. He has just bought the railroad running from &t. Augustine o Palatka and from bt. Augustine to Jacksonville. Last Sunday he changed both of these to broad guage ro.ids and sliortened the schedule more than half. He is going to Uuihl a bridge oyer the St. John river so that the vestibule rains can run into" St. Augustine, to cost $300,000, a magnificent chnrch and a union depot that will cost $200, 000. This depot he will surround with superb park. He is paving every street running to -the hotel with as- nhalt fat his own expense) to makebt. r " - . . . f . i Aujnw ue the grandest pleasure spot on earth. His Russian baths in the Alcazar cost $300,000, and are luxuri ous be3ond description. He says he will spend $20.000,UU0 before he has completed his pleasure plant to meet his ideas. The use of corrugated iron for dwel ling honses is bow recommended, it be ing urged that they would be much cheaper than houses of: brick or stone. Being lined with wood, they would necessarily be warm in winter, and, to have them cool in summer, the plan of the well-known Indian bungalo is sng- Lgested. A Story With a Moral. Greensboro Patriot, For the benefit of the merchants and property-owners of the city of Greens boro we wish to eive here thesuksbmr of what was said a short time since on a rail way train to the writer, by a very intelligent commercial tourist (euphem ism ) or drummer (Rood sensible ver nacular.) "Greensboro is a nice little city and full of nice people" said he: "but so far from having acquired the art of blowing their own trumpet, they have allowed that useful little instrument to fall into 'innocous desuetude.'

Anybody, would think the streets were paved with gold and the houses built of marble, and that they were about to tear up the pavements because there was some alloy in the precious metal. and tear down the houses because the marble was stained by the weather; a Charlotte man almost convinces you that his place i just a little behind New York ; and if you ask a Fayettc ville man how the old town is getting on he says : " W h y, we are j ust getting to hump ourselves.
