He had a pretty good education, and on

his age, and he called there and made his
business known
"Walk into the office, my lad," said the
merchant. "I'll attend to you soon."
When ho had waited on his customer, ho
took a seat near the lad, and he espied n ci$.

Mkssrs. Eoitors Under this head appeared
an article, selecltd, some time past,
ceusuring too severely our Southern youth
for selecting the learned professions us a
means of support, without the ability to do
so, and thus degrade the standard of professional
merit, rather, than pursue tho avocation
of carpenter, blacksmith, or brick-lav
er, n?r wuicu iney were Defter adapted. 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. Twenty-five
j or thirty years since, wo were credibly informed
that not less than six hundred mo1
chanica, who had served their apprenticeship
! in this Slnto, were compelled to ao abroad
i in senroh of work?nod why f Became
' workmen from lite North, Villi hurdler eonatitulion*,
drilled from infancy to toil for
their support, and practice great economy,
could work for less and would have a prefer
cnce. Although the natives must remain
througjmut the wariu and sickly seasons,
pay their full share of taxes to support the
[ State, contributo to the support of doctors,
, lawyers und the church, while they who
could not risk their life or health at such a
j time, in such a sickly season, would return
' to prOHeciile their accustomed business with
their families at home, and curse our in?u
j 1(1 ti'>!)?.
i This evil does not exist, perhaps, as much
| a* formerly ; but if our young men will be
encouraged by our own people and thoso of
their own famUiejfchaying received, as they
! should at first, the example And instruction
to provide for themselves, the rich, the leaim
tad, or those in the highest stations, will receive
aud treat them as they deserve, for

will not find him, but they must know him,
because otherwi*o they w*U find and trade

like sheep, are gregarious, and flock where

be important for our dealers to advertise in

Tiir true wealth of the world is labor?
gnM itself merely representing it. This fact
clearly established, how mournfid it is to sec
the enormous waste of ikia precious commodity
constantly going on. J5y a strange i
contradiction this waste more frequently oc- j
curs in a young country which needs labor;
in?>st, likeom own, limn ill the old ones of.
KurO|>c.
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. .
A cargo of emigrants arrive?many of
them have a little money, quite sufficient to '
take them out comfortably where there is n '
demand for labor, if there wore any otfiec to
inform these almost shipwrecked strangers, '
where they cau be employed?but for Uie

those men nnd their families been placed in 1
the country, they would have been farmers 1

great cities reducing by competition the wages
to the very minimum at which life can
be sustained.
Nor must we lose sight of a still higher '
consideration ; the vast importance of rnis- !
ing up and training a peasantry, which the
poet calls very justly a "country's pride," 1
and without which we never should hare
won our independence.
Great cities aro too frequently the grave '
of freedom. They are more calculated to
produce the despot and the demagogue '
than the patriot.
