Learn a Trade, Boys.
a correspondent in cue oewing ixialine
News, quoting from the Ladies'
;ome Journal an article on the value
' a trade, makes some remarks of his ^
.vn which are practical and pertinent a
the subject. , -A
I remember years ago, when I was a
very young man, writes John Coates a
i the Journal, meeting John Roach, A
te great ship-builder, in his shipyard a
Chester, Pennsylvania. I remem- 0
;r, too, what he said then about the a
ilue of a trade to the average boy.
"Young man," he said, laying his G
eat broad hand on my shoulder, and b
oking at me earnestly with his keen, K
eel-blue Irish eyes, "next to a clear
mscience, a trade is as good a thing A
any young man can have in this F
untry. You can carry it with you y
1 your life long ; you have to pay
Mther rent nor taxes upon it, and it
ill help you around a sharp corner
heu most other things will fail."
I have never forgotten that utterance
am a man who started in life?after T
nding in New York from Ireland? ,
a helper to a machinist,, who be- h
me the leading shipbuilder of his j(
xie, and who, up to the hour that he '
as stricken with a fatal illness, could
ke place of his workmen, whether .
was a man driving rivets or an ex- ??
rt putting together the most delicate
,rts of a steamship's machinery. ?
Something very like what John ?
Dach said I heard another great man,
ho is now dead, say. This was Peter
>oper, a man of whom American
>ys cannot know too much, and
horn they certainly cannot too much **
mire. "If I had my way," said the d>
nerable philanthropist, on the oc- (jj
sion to which I refer, "I would give dj
ery boy a trade. Theu I would have f
m stick to it, love it, and be good to
If he does, it will be good to him." g
To which the writer in the Sewing ?*
achine News adds:
To an observing and interesting per- j*
d, how sad is the spectacle, and now
rcible is the fact, wnich ought to be jL
3d for serious reflection to every
merican citizen, that very few of our *
uerican boys ever learu a trade, and
a result almost everywhere the lead- J
g mechauical positions are filled by
en of foreign birth. .
Why is this? Is it because our boys
e less able ? l's it because there are g
i facilities for learning trades in tbis
untry ? To the last question the ar- ?
ment may be advanced that the j*
ide uDions lny too inany aud too
avy restrictions regarding the numr
of apprentices which will be em- j?
jyed or allowed, Argument admit- ir
i and the point taken granted. But '
e bottom cause is Young America's ?lon't
want to." He would rather '
ind behind a counter in some store, r:
canvass for some agency, or work in
me factory at piece work, where he
n earn mure money, at first, per g"
jek than if put to learning a trade.
This would all be very well, provided
i could be sure that such em ploy ment
auld last as long as he needed to ' i
jrk for a living. We all know that P.
i substantial building exists, or can T,
ist, without a solid foundation, '
erefore let us encourage our boys to | ^
irn trades. Where there are trade ?
bools, take advantage of them, and ?.
ery city should have one or more, fj
iach them that work is honorable,
lat it is no disgrace to lay brick. f
lat it is not unmanly to be seen on
e street carrying a kit of plumber's :*
dIs with a clear conscience. Though ^
e work be dirty, the money is as
;an as that gained in auy other way.
Encourage them to learn trades and
terward to rise in them. Having a
od common school education for a
irter, their native smartness will en- "5
ile them to master their trades, and of
' avoiding all unclean habits, they f?
ed have no fear for the future, for P<
eir services will always be in de- ,I]

And so in the pulpit. Breezy was
ight and winning ; told anecdotes,
joted poetry, was a bit dramatic and
id an energetic way that was very
easing to some. Now, Strongman is
lother man. He is thoughtful and
liberate. He is more of a logician
tan he himself suspects. He exhorts
ss and reasons more. He does not re,te
many affecting incidents, but lays
old of great truths. That is what a

like. They thought Breezy too
iperticial and emotional. They were

Alcoholic stimulants exhaust the
rength of those who are called to pronged
physical endurance in extremes
' heat or cold. What folly, therere,
to suppose that in moderate temmature
there is any real gain from
oderate drinking ! Lieutenant Greey
testified to the advantages of total
jstineuce among his men in the Arcis
regions; and Henry M. Stanley
)re witness to the danger of any alcoDlic
drinks in Equatorial Africa,
nd now Miss Kate Marsden, whose
tmarkable journey on sledge and
orseback to visit the outcast Siberian
pers is attracting deserved attention,
as a similar storv to tell of the value
' abstinence and the danger of alcool.
She says, in the preface to her
arrative of her journey : "I have
ever taken any active part in promotig
temperauce principles, but now I
unk that the record of my exertions
I Siberia, without the aid of etimuints,
may provo as beneficial to othrs
as if my voice had been raised ill

f great exhaustion, when the slimu*
int only made me worse. I have
lerefore good ground for recommend*
lg abstinence from alcohol where
luch physical endurance is necesiry."
If a man says he drinks wine
r whisky because he likes to, he may
s supposed to tell the simple truth ;
ut if he says he takes these simulants
1 order to meet the extremes of
eather, or to give him powers of phycal
endurance, he is to be pitied for
ot knowing any better. A college
:hlete must be a total abstainer while
i training for a contest, even if he
ranks freely, or moderately, at other
mes. Yet at that very time his
rother, or his father, is, perhaps,
tking liquor at his meals, or between
leals, to give him strength !
