I^EARKING V TRADE. 



TliPi-p ave muiiv peoi)l(; wlio dislike the miine 

 of mechanic and who would, rather thun put their 

 children to ail honest tra.le, tug hard at their busi- 

 ness and live sparingly for the sake of givnis_then. 

 P coUe-e cdu.'ation. They think meanly ol Inni 

 ^vho wears the leather apron, and is not dressed 

 up in tinerv and show. This «e believe is the 

 reason why there are so many pettifoggers and 

 vagabonds in the world. Many a son has been 

 sent to college with the expe.tation of his parents 

 hiMilv e-cc.ited, but like the fable of the u,..uutain, 

 he^'onlv produced a mouse. We think highly ol 

 our co'lleg?s and literary institutions, and rejoice 

 to see them prosper ; but we are more pleas,',! to 

 see an individual's mind turned in a right current. 

 There are hundreds of lawyers who woulil have 

 -made better mechanics: and have obtained a more 

 comfortable livelihood. And we have no doubt, 

 there are many mechanics who would stand high 

 Bt the bar, had they been blessed with a libera 

 education. But if a child have talents, they will 

 not remain hid ; and no matter what his trade or 

 profession is, thev will sooner or later burst forth. 

 There are many distinguished individuals in the 

 literary world, who were bred to mechanical 

 trades- Many of the editors of our best con- 

 ducted ioiirnals were mechanics, and do credit to 

 the stations they occupy. And our mechanics 

 too, generally speaking, are the most industrious 

 part of the community. They are almost always 

 l.usilv employed. But it is apt to be otherwise 

 with'professional men. They are often dilatory, 

 lazy It is an effort for them to bend their minds 

 to a difficult pursuit. They are well informed, 

 because they spend much of their time in reading, 

 but this is an unprofitable business, unless we have 

 some definite object in view. 



In tiiese remarks we wish it not to be under- 

 stood that we think lightly of professional men 

 "•enerally ; for we do not. We wish to a.ldress 

 ourselves i)articularly to those parents who are 

 hesitating what occupation to give their children. 

 Are they ingenious, fond of mechanical pursuits? 

 Give them a trade. Do they love to study, and 

 cannot give their attention to anything else ? Send 

 them to college. Let your children choose theni- 

 «plves what trade or pr,.f.-ssion they will follow ; 

 and what they select will generally prove the most 

 advantageous in the end. But never think a trade 

 too humble for vour son to work at, nor a profes- 

 sion too imijortant for him to acquire. Let every 

 parent pursu,' this course with his children and 

 ■ we are confi.leiit there would be less uiihai.pmess 

 and misery in the worhl. Y.mi can never force a 

 trade or a profession upon a child ; it must be nat- 

 ural to him. A <lisregard fin- a child's inclination 

 in this respect has often iiroved his ruin, or at 

 least, unfitted him for the duties of WW: — Boston 

 Mechanic. 



NEW YORK. 



1 like New York. I lik,- it for the very (loints 

 of difference which distinguish it from all other 

 cities in the Union. Its noise, its hurry, its bus- 

 tle,— its mixed population, ami the Babel-like 

 crnfusion of tongues which it inherits. One may 

 walk through Wall street, or Broadway, and hear 

 French, Spanish, Italian, English, German, Turk- 

 ish, and almost every other language in the known 

 world, spoken in the same moment. The haste 



with which every body moves, ami acts, and 

 speaks, is another characteristic of New York that 

 I admire. It is contagious, an.l it has a good ef- 

 fect upon the spirits ami health of an itlle man. 

 I have strolled into Wall street so very lazy and 

 listless that I had hardly energy enough to move 

 one foot past the other, and in fifteen minutes 

 thereafter I found myself tearing up and down 

 the street, through Pearl, into Water, up Front 

 street, skipping over barrels, and boxes, and crates, 

 as if the sailing of an Indiaman, or the credit ol 

 a dozen houses all depended upon the celerity of 

 my movements. The same effects produced by 

 the same causes, I have remarked in others. I 

 have a country friend, a retail trader, who visits 

 the city once "a year to pay his debts and lay m a 

 new stock of goods. He only trades at two 

 houses, and generally has but two notes to pay, 

 and as for his purchases, he can make them in 

 a couple of hours. I have seen this (piiet, steady, 

 slow and easy old gentleman, saunter out of the 

 Ohio Hotel iiito the street, of a Monday morning, 

 and after carefully perusing all the sign-boards m 

 his immediate vicinity, move along at the grave 

 and judicious jiace peculiar to him.self. Anon a 

 young clerk would flash by him, and before he 

 could distinguish the precise color of his coat, be 

 out of sight. A countryman would pass hini 

 with the speed of a steam engine. " Why !" the 

 old man would exclaim, •" Why, that's neighbor 

 Wilson ! Neighbor, neighbor ! Mr Wilson ! 

 How he walks ! He's out of sight already I" By 

 this time his own steps would be quickened. A 

 little before him he observed the principal of the 

 House with which he transacts his business. He 

 increases his pace. It is in vain. He cannot over- 

 take him. Merchants, clerks, porters, horses, 

 carts, wheel-barrows whiz past him. His brain 

 becomes confused, his feet begin to fly, and in ten 

 minutes more I have marked the old man striding 

 along the' street, under full headway — the long 

 skirts of his coat fluttering and flapping in the 

 wind, his hair streaming out from under his hat, 

 drops of perspiration coursing each other down 

 his cheeks, — the very picture of a fugitive from 

 justice.

I HAVE NO TIME LEFT FOR Study.— The idea 

 about the want of time is a mere phantom. 

 Franklin found time in the midst of all his labors 

 to dive into the hidden recesses of philosophy, and 

 to explore an untrodden path of science. The 

 o-reat Frederick, with an empire at his direction, 

 h, the midst of war, on the eve of battles which 

 were to decide the fate of his kingdom, found 

 time to revel in all the charms of philosophy an.l 

 intelh-ctual pleasures. Bonaparte, with all Eu- 

 rope at his .lisposal ; with kings in his ante-cham 

 her b,>i'ging for vacant thrones ; with thousands 

 of meiT whose destinies were suspended on the 

 brittle thread of his arbitrary pleasure, htul tunc 

 to converse with books. Ciesar, when he had 

 curbed the spirit of the Roman people, aii.l was 

 thronged with visitors from the reinot.'.'^t kingdom, 

 foun.i time for intellectual cultivation. Lvery 

 man hasti.ne,if he is careful to improve it; and 

 if be ,loes improve it as well as he might, he can 

 reap a three-fold reward.
