MECHANICS.

In the history of distinguished men of
all ages there will be found larger num-
Der of the lives of those, who emanated
from the humble situation of mechanics,
than from any other of the existing pro-
fessions.
To these geniuses the senate, the pull
pit and the bar, are indebted for some of
their proudest and highest ornaments !;
nor IS literature entirely exempt from OBJ
legations TO the mechanical community.
The sweet SONGS of Bloomfield, snd the
elegant essays and criticism OF Clifford
are, Of themselves, Sufficient to establish
the truth of the latter assertion, without
seeking for further proofs.
Philosophy acknowledges one OF its
most eaterprizipg scholars in the me.

be ascrlbed the honor of wrestling from
lightning and he thnnderbolt their mighty
and appalling terrors.
Mechanics are frequently, the children
of poverty; their early days are often
days of sorrow and toll, and their hopes
and prospects are, not untrequently,
cloudy and gloomy by reason of the want
of education and instruction in the
sciences of the age. When arrived a,
manhood, sensible of their defects, they
commence an arduous and assiduous
course Of study, determined to emerge
from the pit of obscuri,y where the fates
have placed them, and to hold rank
equal to their merits in the circles of their
countrymen. IL is to this and their mis-
fortunes, that are indebted for SO many
men OF distinction and eminence.
Il is a pleasing reflection that in this
age, exertions are making, by the esta-
blishment OF literary and scientific in
situations to assist them in the further.

when, through the assistance of these
