To Appkenticf.s. — The only way for a young 

 man to prepare for usefulness is to devote him- 

 self to study during his leisure hours. T'list, be 

 industrious. Never complain that you are obli- 

 ged to work ; go to it with alacrity and cheerful- 

 ness, and it will become habit that will make you 

 respected by your employer and the communi- 

 ty. Make it your business to see to and promote 

 your employer's interest ; by taking care of his, 

 you will learn to take care of you own. Second- 

 ly, be industrious in your studies. Few persons 

 can complain of a harder master than Franklin's, 

 yet he laid the foundation of his greatness, when 

 an apprentice. Success depends not on the 

 amount of leisiu-e you may have, but ujion the 

 which it i» employed.
