ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

We take the following from the " San Franoisco News Letter " . — "We think we know something about labor, if eighteen hours a day of work means anything, True, this is mental work, as the saying goes; but we are not strangers to what is commonly called hard work. We know whatsit is to follow the plough day after day. and whistle to the merry musio of the birds, our only companions. In tbe sultry days of the long summer we have toiled in the harvest fields happy as a clam and healthy as a fish, we know something of '< log-rolling," not in a political sense, but as one inured to using the woodman's axe and an adept at rafting. These, and other matters pertaining to hard work, we " know like a book'" In the destiny of things we have risen above them, and the pen has superseded the plough. We bow to the dictates of Fate, and do our work now as we did then, without murmur or complaint, knowing that in the end all things oorae out right. There are hundreds of young men in California to-day searching for work, genteel or laborious, and perhaps unable to find it, or else, pass ing through the mill of peperience, and mourning over their KfPin life as a hard one. Our younger brothers are men of education, many of whom no doubt, have been reared in the lap of luxury, and rebel against the destiny which consigns them (temporarily) to the vicissitudes of this life. But a growl against fate is unworthy the intelligence and dignity of man. We must take the world as we find it, and make the most of it. As to those whom we are addressing, we would say quit the streets of San Francisco and strike out boldly for the country. If you cannot leave by railroad or steamboat, " foot it/ as great, noble, and heroic souls have done before you. In the struggle humanity will bear you up, encourage you. in your weary tramp, and succour you in your hour of need if you are true to yourselves, Take the first job you can get, no matter what that may be, work with "a good and cheerful heart, be economical, temperate, and industrious, and there is no power on earth which can hinder your slow but sure advancment to wealth and distinction. Our sturdy farmers and business men of the interior are eager to employ good reliable men, and pay them excellent wages. Where there is a will there is a way, and the true man will adapt himself to circumstances, making himself useful in whatever avocation he is called: upon to fill.
