The first thing a youth, entering the city to make his home there, needs to do is to make himself a necessity to the person who employs him, according to the Boston _Herald_.

Whatever he may have been at home, it counts for nothing until he has done something that makes known the quality of the stuff that is in him.

If he shirks work, however humble it may be, the work will soon be inclined to shirk him.

But the youth who comes into a city to make his way in the world, and is not afraid of doing his best whether he is paid for it or not, is not long in finding remunerative employment.

The people who seem so indifferent to employing young people from the country are eagerly watching for the newcomers, but they look for qualities of character and service in actual work before they manifest confidence or give recognition.
