Iii the first placo, let it be remembered that the fault lies km often with the parent as the child. Mothers like to see their sons i?cciipying u-hHt they believe to be the inost creditable and dignitied positions in society. Sisters do not like to associate with mechanics or clerks. Kven the honest farmer i$ thought by some to occupy t<>o humble or secluded a position for lh<4r happiness and comfort, and the father hastily yields, as best for their domestic peace, or would m?o one son at least in some elevated place than ordinary men, to givo a character to all the rest, and by his industry, if not his literary attainments, gain the approbation of the community in which ho resides. A serious error has, ami tc a great extent does still exist, in regard to the education of mccliauics. Some parents have made mo chauica of their children because they could not or would not study and learn what was necessary to fit them for professions. As mere o|>eratives, little may be necessary, but if young men are to gain an eminence in their vocation, be it what it may, as architects, master workmen, or to have the esteem and confidence of their fellow men, their minds should first r??oeivo the knowledge which their hands should execute?be capeI hie of teaehingothers by doing it themselves. ' Thus you have doubtless witnessed many j failures among those who could not make I a proper estimate,or plan judiciously, whose ; calculations fall far short of tho expense, | whi e some perhaps may, on the other hand, j have set an estimate so high to cover all | contingencies, thai they were thought extravj agant, ami therefore unemployed. Hut other j reasons exist to discourage young men j among?t us from being inccLnnics. Kmj plovers mast frequently estimate tho work to j be dono by the cost of material and the hire j of haiids at a low rate, allowing nothing for losses, wastage, uuvoidable delays, and that which should be equally considered, tho time of tho contractor and the cost at which he hits obtained his knowledge. It docs not follow that because a man is superintending ! operatives, he has not books at home to stu- 1 ! dy, and plans to draw at night, or that his j mind is not continually employed in tho ful til meat of his contract. The physician, Inw' yer and divine are not always estimated by : their amount of honest labor ami faith practice. Those whom God has peculiarly bless[ ed with extraordinary talents, mental, physi! cal, pecuniary, arc occupying spheres and ! doing good, where those with loss, perhaps, 1 would fail ;and yet the latter with their diligence and zeal to benefit mankind and earn an honest living for themselves and families, are needed'full as much, or more, to benefit j tho larger portiou of mankind.

Our pauperism and the high price of food from which so much of our distress springs, are entirely owing to this wasted labor, which ft r w??t-of being distributed, become* an evil instead of a blessing?a pestilent manure heap instead of a fertilizer. 1 In a country, like ours, where so much land is uncultivated, and where there is so great a waul of agricultural laborers, it is of > ! the utmost importance that labor should not j be suffered to stagnate in great cities, when |. it is m> much wanted iu our farms in lite 1 country. .
