WANTED--ENOOURACIEIdENT
As this seems to be the age, from
the -multitude of reformers in the
field, in which the world is to be set
to rights generally,. we have been
moved to say a MA- words for those
for whom we feel a special interest.
We come with an appeal for rouse
MEN, the nation's -rising hope—those
upon whose shoulders will rest the
future burdens of Church and State.
It is one of the most lamentable facts,
that an immensenumber of the young
men of this land are annually swept
into eternity through the influence
and practice of dissipated and wicked
habits. And it is an equally sad fact
that this vast multitude comes not
from the offscourings and refuse of
society, but is composed to an alarm
ing extent of the best young life of
the republic. It has been said that
death loves a shining mark, and truly
the same can be said of vice and im
morality. The ;wily enemy of souls
is most careinl in setting his foul
snares where there is a prospect of
entrapping a valuable prize. Upon
every side strong young manhood is
falling victim to the destroyer ;
and not only is this true, but vice,
immorality and corruption stalk glar
ingly through our halls of public leg
islation, and their vile influences. ex
tend through the city, State and
general governments, and are really
sucking the life'-blood of the great
free Government under which we live.
Shall this state of affairs continue ?
Must it continue ? Can nothing be
done to stay this. awful tide of des
truction ? We think there is a reme
dy which, if industriously applied,
will at -least mitigate the evil. Let
the hope of the future—the young
men of the land—be more zealously,
kindly watched over, cared for, and
encouraged, to move steadily and irre
sistibly onward in the path of right.
For the want of th's encouragement,
very many valuable young-lives - are
wasted. We are aware that young
men are talked to, preached to, lec
tured, scolded, coaxed, entreated and
remonstrated with in regard to their
"short-comings," their „ fast-goings, ,,
their growing evil habits and their
wrong doings generally, as well as
loved and prayed for; but when they
strive to the best of their • ability to
straighten their crooked ways and
walk in the paths of virtue and so
briety, how many words of warm,
hearty encouragement are whispered
like angel greetings in their welcome
ears ? • Ahl, yes ! how • many! For
the one word of approbation-the stu
dent receives from his dignified su
perior, he receives, perchance; ten
words of rebuke, censure .or sarealt
tie ridicule. For the ninety-nine
acoldings, fault-findings and wither
ing rebukes, the • poor, struggling,
miserably-paid clerk receives nt the
-end of the year five dollars for Christ
mas, and the protnise - of a petty in
ere:L.4e in, salary for the nett year.
After long and tedious hours of night
labor ver - some humble•-liUtrury, ef
fort, the modest youth; straggling to
improve his. mind, and despite the
hinderances of poverty, secure a place
of merit among the wise and - good,
and thereby be enabled to do some
good to oth ers-as they-together trav
el life's pathwaY, respectfully hands

- There is no teed of any further
lustrations; it cannot be denied that
those used are truthful ones,. and -if
this is so is it right-that they should

Some noble spirits can rise superior
to every cold neglect, to' every insult,
every hard-hearted fling of bitter Saar
easra,learlessly steer" their owzilittle
brave craft over life's troubled sea,
caring not fer the taunts and jeers of
a selfish world.' But, ah! there are
others whose hearts are the abode of
a deep, tender and easily-toriched
sensitiveness, from which one harsh,
unkind word or act. will cause to flow
a ft od of bitter anguish, and the re
petition.of which Will drive them to
eternal ruin. And there are others;
who, with high-born natures and burn
ing passions,_ watch the world, its
men and their ways, who; if the pow
ers within them were by love
and kindness into proper Channels,
might become. worthy champions 'in
the great cause of truth and right ;
but let the bitterness of unwarranta

and they are, ready to dive into the
very depths of wickedness.
Wanted—encouragement. Oh !
that the cry would ring • in our ears
every day and every hoar! Encour
agement for the weak, the-. halting,
the timid. Encouragement :or those
who, despite the bitter trirds and dis
heartening obstacles of poverty, are
struggling manfully to rise to posi
tions of usefulness and honor. En
couragement for those who, though
beset by temptations op every hand;
are humbly endeavoring to walk stead
ily forward in the, straight and nar
row path. Encouragement for those
who, lifting up their voices against
wrong and wickedness, are subjects
of the coldest charity . because the
frosts of years have not ripened into
fuller maturity their experience of
life and its ways. Warm, hearty, ear
nest encouragement, this is what is
wanted; and who will be - so unkind,
- who will be so selfish, as to refuse to
give it ?
Christian pastor, remember, as on
stand within the sacred desk, and so
eloquently deliver yourself of a "Ser
mon to Young Men," that a..few kind
cheering words, whispered earnestly
in the ear.of any. one of our young
hearers, accompanied by the warm
pressure of your friendly hand, will
cheer his soul, and do him a hundred
fold more good than all your furnish
ed pulpit eloquence. Thriving man
of business, you whose ledger shows
you to have reaped a-good reward for
your toils during the past year, drop
fin occasional. kind word of hope and
cheer it, that toiling young man who
attendi so faithfully to your every in
terest. They till fall like the gentle
dew of henven'npon his ofteir s sad and
weary heart;. and rest assured, your
sleep will be none the less sweet, and
your conscience none the less. peace

After a moment's reflection he gazed ;

some Parties in Boston were anxious
to purchase the Stonington line of
steamthips, then owned by Mr. Dan

'Anew' fin the, hiVOT of that gentleman
that heemployed hint. to conduct the
negotiatiiinilor the sale of the steam
ers.- In this he was eminently suc
'eensful. The sale was completed en
iirtly to Mr. Drew's satisfaction, and

variety . of speculative transactions-in
government stocks, gold and other
securities in Wall street, as it h a d
done when peddling through the
country, the greater number of his
speeuliktions were disastrous in their
results, and in twoyears . time dame's
Fisk had lost every dollar in the world.
He had, ho*ever, : a friend in Mr.
Daniel Drew, who, in 1565, assisted
Wm: to form the firm of Belding & C 0..,
for. the 'purpose. of carrying on the
business of stockbrokers, and gave
them the substantial aid by putting
liturineas.into theirhands' oy
ing them as brokers 'in Many e
transactions. -
1nt1867 Mr; Fisk, in connection
with' Mr. • Jay Gould, succeeded in -
niaking a large sum of monfiYby op
emtions in Erie stock. Theygot con
trol over - stock, to the amount of 00,-
00000; andirere thus able todepreis
the general value of Erie' stock from
721 1 to 35. Mr. Fisk's share of the
profits regultin4 from 'these opera
tions, snionnte it is said, to-14,300,-
Mr.• Fisk's next operation was to
Uurchaie the whole of the block- of
which Pike's Opera House forms a
part, for the sum of $820,000. This
kansaction, was a highly profitable
-one. •He leased to theßkie:BeilWiiy
'Company a small portion of the Prop
erty for nineteen years at an annual
rental of $76,000. - This was in itself
a very handsome return on the gross
amount invested in the, whole prop
erty, but Mr. Fisk retained to him,
self tlie - Opera House, all 13*. - Lap .
stores and a great' number privale
hoinses.'- He also bought thep
formerly known asErougham=
ter,end having somewhat lincerenio-.
nionsly ousted that ' gentleman and
his coppany, he installed there Me
