To Youne Prorie.—In the town of Nevada there are a score of young men and women whose opportunities for fitting themselves for the duties of life will soon be past. Sach should remem. ber that they are either foomng or improving golden opportunities, Their lot is cast in a iand where education is provided by the State, and at a time times greater than were those of the middle aged. The time is rapidly approaching when education will be the standard by which men and women are judged, and the young who neglect these Will repent their folly when they become older. They will feel themselves, all through life, circumscribed in power to do, and defeated in their aims, simply because they lack the knowledge necessary to accomplish what they desire. Is life so simiess a thing that we can afford to throw away its early and its best part? We have no doubt that many of our young people, when they think of these matters, determine to devote a time to improvement, but when among their compan— ions these thoughts are soon gone ; the good resolutions vanish and trivial matters absorb all their attention. If some concert of action could be obtained, and te Mae ee ee @ taste for literary parsuite.there would be then no difficulty. Habits of study and thought, when once acquired, beeome attractive, and the acquisition would soon become a pleasure. Nevada ought to have @ literary society, of somie tharacter, where short lectures, essays and readings should be given each’ week The young people themselves should take hold of the matter, anid We are conbideas thepeatahd Weehters secure the services of many gettlemen who would gladly assist them. A part of the time might be devoted to familiar con. great versations upon subjects selected a week ahead, in which ali could participate.
