As the rebellion kid of old times filled a handkerchief of (always a handkerchief, I believe) with his all, and followed the trail of his idol, Columbus, and became a sailor bold, the more ambitious and adventourous younster of later days freezes on to a double-barreled pistol, and steers for the [bold?] prairie to seek fortuneand experience. If he don't get his system full, it's only because the young man weakens, takes a back seat, or fails to become a Texas cow-boy. If his Sunday-school ma'am has not impressed him thoroughly with the chapter about our friend [Job?], he may at first be astonished: bet he'll soon learn thepatiene of the old hero, and think he pegged out a little too soon to take it all in. As there are generally openings, likely young fellows can enter, and not feel to be put through.
