This important organisation, which Is dally occupying a more extended Hell of nsefulness a field wnlcb it alone can occupy owes its ori gin to a number of Christian gentlemen who were impressed with the necessity of doing something for the moral and spiritual welfare of tbe thousands of young men who go to ruin in this and every other large city for the want of friendly couusel and encouragement, and the lack of means for filling up their leisure hours agreeably without frequenting tbe haunts of Vice. Tbe association was organized la 1351, in Buusoni Street Hall, by Kcv. Dr. Braluerd. Mr. George II. Stuart, and others. It started with about fifty members and with Mr. Stuart as Its first President. The first rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association were on Chesnut street, below Seventh, and for a considerable time its erowth was exceedingly slow, It being found ditticult to excite any great amount of Interest in U. A removal- was made to Arch street, below Ninth, when the Interest In the organization nearly died out, and It was only nominally kept In existence by tbe efforts of a few members. A revival of interest in it occurred in 1800, when rooms on Chesnut street, above Tenth, were occupied. The great religious revival of this year gave the association a start whlcb set it fairly on its leet, and tbe Jayne'a Hall prayer meetings were held under its aus pices, betides eorne forty or fifty meetings lu - tbe firemen's balls. Tne breaking outot the war was a severe blow to the Young Men's Christian Association, principally on account of tbe enlistment of a large number of its members In the army. A few persevering members, however, kept tbe association In exist ence, and from tbe Young Men's Christian Asso ciation sprang the Christian Commission, whose good works and history are written In the hearts of tbe people of tbe whole world. This impor tant woik absorbed the best energies of the members of the association daring the coatlnu auceof the war. and it was not uniil the end of tbe great coutllct that they were able to devote tbeuiseives to the real work for which the asso ciation was organized. Since tbe war the Young Men s Christian Association has been slowly but suiely perfecting its organization aud preparing its plans for greatly increasing Its sphere of uieluli.ess. It is hoped shortly to be In poteeeelou of the means for the erection of a building like that given to the New York Association by the busluess men of that city, which will be furnished with a gym nasium, reading-rooms, debating hall, and all other means of making it attractive to young men. Tbe amount of good which an institution like the Youuir Men's CnrUtlau Association can do is incalculable. There are thousands of youn men lu this city in all ranks of life who are entirely without friends and advisers, who are at a lots bow to spend their leisure hours, aud who are peculiarly open on many accounts to ternutatiens. To such as these the rooms of a Young Men's Christian Association, where they will always be made welcome, be introduced to desirable acquaintances, and be afforded facill ties for making trustworthy friends, cannot but be highly appreciated. The advantages which are also furnished for passing the time pleasantly in the shape of a well-selected library, an attractive reading-room where all the magazines and newspapers can be found. must appeal strongly to the sympathies of young men of native refinement and good taste, and for these reasons, if for no other, the Young Men's Christian Association deserves the cor dial encouragement aud bearty support of our merchants aid aleo those who are I uteres tea la tbe welfare of young men. From the address of William E. Dodge, Jr.. Esq . the President of the New York Cbrh-tian Association, at the six teenth anniversary meeting of tbe Philadelphia association, held last November at tbe Academy of Music, we take the following as a practical illustration of the value and Importance of such organisations, jar. uoage 6am: Tbe desire of the Young Hen's Christian Assoia tl.ma throughout this laud Is to una thHlr ponnun trated efforts to reach, or all brotherly loudness, bv all tact and wisdom, those young men la our cities ud towns without friends who are drtfttug to de traction, and to say to them there is a beauty la our holy faith, and that there la something m tbe world worth living for, and to give them means to euioy the blessed influences, so that they may be come irood and true men. I remember, some two years ago, coming down from Montreal where the national Convention of the Youug Men's Christian Antni'imton had been In s-ision, one beautiful even ing. I ws sitting forward on the upper deck of the boat, enjoying the stillness of the lovely lake, when I wis Interrupted by a gentleman whom I could not distinguish, wto asked me if 1 was from New York. I reoiied that 1 was. "I waiit very much to i ,." t.,...!'-. " ".!! 1 VJ'J Mien. are dole,? U ew Tort far theyonrigmen?" I told him what we weredolnjr, and what we were hoping to do in the future. He then, in fnrther conversation, told me something or his own life, and how God had prospered blm. He told me he was President of the Young Men's Chili tian Association In a Western city. lie said he had had a large number of young men la his employ, went, and had always taken them to his own hoase t virions times, as he concldered it an exceiieut plan to keep them ont of temptation. I was delighted with his manner of talking, and hla plan of Interest ing young men. "My early lire," said he, "was a trying one. 1 bad a great many temptations. I was very poor. The only friend I had was an elder brother, who was not rich in this world's goods. I made np my mind to go Into the wholesale drug business, and prepared my life for that. My brother snld, 4I can give you no capital or Influence, lr j on wl 1 go to Philadelphia and stud; chemistry there In the medical school, I will endeavor to par your moderate expenses for two years.' I was a member ol the Methodist Church and a teacher In the Sabbath-school there. I carrlr d a letter from the minister of the church to the city, to the canrcn there, and was very kindly received. 1 was 1'ivlted to take a class In the Sabbath-school, aud during ihn whole two years was a faiih'ul attendant at ttat church, and did all 1 could to work lu the Stbbath school." He said that during all that ttini he never was Invited to put his foot across the thr. sti Ud of a home, and he never had any one to sneak to hlin as though they were really his friends, and big man as he was, he had often gone np to his little bxl rooni and cited from sheer loneliness, and nothing but the love of Uod la his hear' saved htm from going to ruin. 1 do not sprak ef Philadelphia, or the church to wtm;h he belonged, or the Methodist Church, In comparison to others, but 1 speak of the matter n the w.-ty we do things In this rapid life of ours. We, noiioubf, take it lor granted that somebodv els - speaks t, these young men, nnd we think It Is all right, and we foiget their louoilness. Now, if a young mm, with the love ol (iod In his ht ait and with .Hundar labor rn his hands was so exposed t.i te'tipttMon, slid came so nearly going to his ruin, what do you thick, dear frleLds, Is the danger of young men Vtji are lure all alone, with only dHll.v la'ior to care fr, and who all the long evenings have no one Metre for Hum no home open to them no rela'ives or frltnrls to say a kind word. Tulrik of ttiK dear frictds. Your beautiful city is a city of homes. I uin sure no one coming herefrom any other city, aiid walking up and down your sireets, and Feeing our beuutuul homes, could help wishing that his lot had been cast among von. When in this country the noblest EiiKlistirn.tn who ever was here said nothing had Interested him so inufh as the city of Philadelphia, a id to see the numtx r of simple, neat homes, where ah could have heaiihstoties of their own. After all, ther i is no Young Men's Chiltlau Association Mi.it can belu tocompHre to a good wile and a Hreside of one's own. What are all of you doing for these young mm who come by the thousands to this city? I wonf.tr at you, lathers, mothers, and brothers. I vtciifUraryou, cleigynun, who kuowtlie tempta tions nnd the trials to which a young man is exposed wh n awny from home, that yon do not d ao.ii'j thing for him. You are responsible to a curtain extent. A young man leaves his home his quiet country home. He leaves with his mother's pi aye'8. He Haves all his friends hehiud, the emu try ch'ireh where he has worshipped, and he drifts Into a l.irg s city like Philadelphia and New York. Where Is he? who cares for Mm? He kuows nobody. No one speaks to htm. Ue is ulone la a arext city. What loneliness is mere greater man that? That our readers mar know e:ietlv what, t.hn work of the Young Meu's Cbrlstiau Association is, we present the following detail.: ineuaiior. tno association is at Mo. nw Chesnut ttreet, and contains a large reading room, a library, parlors for writing, conversa tion rooms, etc. Tbe reading room, which Is free to all, has two hundred pipers and periodi cals upon Us tables. The library contains 5 M volumes for the use of the members. Iu the lecture room Monday night is devoted to the literary society, Tuesday to temperance meetings, Wednesday to classes, Thursday to .ruble study, Driday to scientltic lectures, and Saturday to praver meetings. Ou Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock there Is a Bible class for stran gers. Tbe Wednesday evening classes are cevoted to instruction in penmanship, German, French, vocal music, and elocution. Social meetings for prayer and to enable strangers to become acquainted witn tne members are held every evening from 9a to 10 o'clock. ine .employment .Bureau u organized on business principles to supply strangers aud others with employment without charge. A special agent of tbe associatlou gives all his time to securing situations. He receives applications for two hours of each day, aud the rest of his time is spent upon tne streets see King places lor the unemployed, une hundred and buy Fituatlons have been secured for young men during the lost six weeks of dull times. llie association nas lust purchased tne cnton Club House on Twelfth street, below Walnut, and is fitting It up as a Christian Home where youn men can be comfortably accommodated under goou lunuencesai tne exact costot living, A great demand is constantly mado upon the association to supply boarding-houses for stranuers, and the Committee on Boarding- houses have a list of 150 of thj best in the city; bouses to which they constantly send young men. The Young Men s Home is designed to meet tbe nerds of those who cannot aff ord to pay the usual rates. Its charges will probably be about $8 per week. The association provides temporary shelter for scores of young men who for m my reasons, Eucb as misfortune and disappointment lu busi ness, are homeless. Sometimes tbe failure of a young man from the couutry to get a situation before his scanty supply of means runs out brings blm to tbe doer of the association. Nearly 500 such were cared for last year. Since tne urst of the year about lou have been shel tered. A Reception Committee for Strangers Is now being organized to attend at the rooms each evening to welcome strangers. A committee to look alter sick young men, without distinction of creed or colors, is or ganized, and a notice of a destitute and sick young men sent to the ball ot the association win be promptly aiteuaeu to. A special committee also awaits the notice ot parents and guardians to make tbe acqualulanco of young men coming to Philadelphia to seek employment, and to help tbetn to find homes and friends, and to introduce them to members of the association. To aid in this, cards of invi tation to tbe association and its privileges are being put up in stores, depots, aud hotels. On the streets every nlgbt hundreds of little leaflets are distributed to young men Inviting ibcm to avail themselves of the privileges of the association, and a vast amount ot good has already been done in bringing under Christian ii fluences multitudes of young men who m st tlank fully testify to the beueflts which the Young Men's Christian Association bus con feired upon tbem. N0YEL AUCTION S1LF. A Coal Wine I'ndrr tlie Hammer The Pr lny ma la. A Eale of a singular character was announced to be made to-day by Muller, Wilklnsv& Co., at tbe Exchange salesrooms. 1 ne property con elcted of a coal deposit adjoining tienuton, Fa., the area ol which comprises about oue hundred and twenty-five acres. Tbe laud was represented to contain an aggregate thickness of eighty-four feet of coal veins of tbe best oualitv. or 100.000 tons per acre; but the sale was to late piace ou an abeumpiitiii oi ouiy 25.000 tons ner acre, or about S.OOO.OOU tons iu the aggregate, at tne price cm pur tou lor tnis Quantity. J be terms ot tne sate were a pav ment (t tMvv at tne time or purcnase, tne remainder to be paid on the first day of April next. The trorertv is owned by a law firm in Phlla delphia. The title bas long been a subject of litigation, and has just been rendered perfect. The sale of a coal mine at auction at a time when coal Is rapid ty becoming a luxury unob tainable even by the wealthy would naturally be expected to excite great competition among capitalists, a mine ot such extent, however, could be worked only by a larire corooratloo. and the leading coal companies arc probably too much embarrassed by tbe strike of the miners to care to add new mines to those theyalreadv own and are unable to work. At any rate the attendance at the sale was small, and the mines were bid lu after two bids had been made for one cent per ton. A.
