within The same hour, both it, and the copy OF

cause you have adopted.
You have referred me for the rule OF my con.

Nc. SMIh,-II Is with pleasure that VIC observe in
your last payer article respecting the formation Of
an apprentices Library" II is lamentable fact,
that throughout country generally but little atlen
ton paid by masters 10 The moral and intellectual
culture Of their apprentices. They are prone, in
too many instances, to regard it as a secondary,
rather unimpOrtant consideration, that in taking
youth under their charge they incur fearful respOn-
sibiy as respects their intellectual attainments-and
are too apt consider that their duty merely consists
in teaching them the different branches OF whatever
trade they may have undertaken to lea, n All, how
be thai this erroneous impression
and that is calculated to do injury
TO the great body Of young men who are engaged
in learning any mechanical 1t an excellent re-
mark, that is less pain learn in YOUTH than to
he ignorant in old age :; and masters in general seem
to have never been sufficiently faithful in endeavouring
TO impress the truth of this maxim upon the minds OF
tine youth who are put under their To this may
be attributed the deplorabIe of mental culture
which in many instances may be found in society. We
would not be understood laying the blame Of this
neglect TO masters alone; it is impossible for them
to aid in the cultivation of the intellect, without the
youth also makes efort-It is to be hoped that ap-
prentces will also regard this measure as one of vital
importance to themselves. The morning of life is the
most favorable, and indeed the only opportunity for
cultivatng and improving the mind. Let the leisure
time which every young man has, be employed in rea-
ding some useu! and interesting book instead of spen-
ding it in frivolous and vain pursuits, and the advan-
tages which will accrue to themselves will be incacula-
bly, great And let every young man also bear in mind
that he is forming his character for life that no.o
habits are creeping upon him which will cling to
n as long as he lives: and that these habits must &
will exercise sovereign sway his future destiny
ally endowed all men wits equal talents; the prince
and the peasant by nature stand equal footing;

Benjamin Franklin, the patriot, the statesman. the

Roger Sherman, who ranked among the first patri-
OTIS and statesmen of his age, was the younger part
of his life shoemaker-One of the most distinguish
ed Revolutionary patriots, Gen. Nathaniel Greene,

And in the world Of letters, too, mechanics have
stood pre-eminent. From the days of Ben Johnson
down to the present time they can point to host of

{" TRIM up a child in the may he should 60 ard
toh|n he as OLD he usH not depart from IT,
The truth of this maxim mankind have long ago
learned from experience and observation. Under It's
influence we sometimes hear them remark, while dis
approving of:e conduct of this or that individual that
she always had his way, and never governed at
home.' Meaning that moral discipline had been neg
lected. Indeed as much expect, that the mind g.
heart of the child under proper culture WILL as it en-
tiers the duties of active life yield an abundant ar
vest Of responsibility and usefulness as that our soil
under proper state of cultivation will Weld an album
dant crop. Had Napoleon received different educa-
tion, nc doubt he would have been a different man.
War was the very element in which he breathed from
his infancy upward,-of course he lived and died
a warrior
1t has already been remarked that our moral and
physical education ends in few years. In manhood
also our intellectual faculties are in state of MATURE
y BY this it is not meant that these faculties are in
capable OF farther Improvement for this there is no
limit. There is good to believe that they con-
tinue, in ordinary expand and strengthen till
they become impaired by age disease. 1t follows
then that they exist in different degrees of strength
| at different periods, yet power is formed. The
elementary principles of the human mind are the same
at six, at sixteen, and sixty We use the term Ed
ucation then in reference to being who thinks and
eets and acts. 10 the language of another all that
| a man is when grown to maturity. more than he is at
his birth, is the result of Education in its widest
sense"
Now what earthly being commands our esteem and
! even reverence like the man who expends the
combined energies Of his moral, physical and inteec-
tua faculties, in the pursuit of great and benev-
oent o6ect-an object worthy the efforts of ration
al and immortal beiRgl What il such men have as vet
been few and far between" 1t is believed that there
are at work which will eventually reno
the moral and intellectual aspect of socety-that
the time will at length arrive when such minds as that
of Newton, Lock, Edwards, Dwight, and Martin, will
no longer be considered prodigies our world. All
| may not be such. Yet all possessing in the common
acceptaton of the term, ordinary capacities can make
far greater approximation such excellence than is
commonly imagined. For what did they know at the
moment Of their birth than the generality OF
mankind at a similar period And what would they
have been without education?
1t is believed, that the human mind has never, in
single instance exhausted its energies. Man, proba-
bly,, has been all that we could wish him to be-
all that better education might not have rendered
him.

To the latter class the medicine above alluded to was

Mr.. EDITOR,
In our town the folks all real old republicans, 81
strong for Adams. Now tother day happened to see
the Times, and the editor said, Jackson be elected
next time, and the republicans will all repent because
they opposed him. Now thinks is the time for me
to make speck-Tve been wanting to 60 deputy this
good while, and when Jackson gifts elected, aad the
publicans repent they'll sartn prove their repentance
by their works. and send old tried Jacksonte rep
resentatve. Now little while ago Squire Clinkum,
Of somewhere out east, .od me that Adams and Clay
riding all the time, day and night, buying up and
fllang the newspapers to get em all to support them
and keep old Hickory down, and that they'd already
spent more than million dollars Of Uncle Sans mon
ey to pay 'cm Just now received the last Times, g.
j, said Mr.. Adams Hartford last week, and it
didn't say word about his corruption or coalition, &
my neighbor George, who just dropt in when / was
reading and medtasing about this, said he would bet
two sings that Adams had bought out the Times, and
that he'd warrant he paid much as fifty dollars 10
Dir. Wells to get him to fight Gen. Jackson. If this
is the case shall get elected deputy, for tn
folks are as mad piper with because run down
Adams and praise up Jackson much, and if the
Times turns for Adams, will sartainly tell the repub.
icans they needn't repent if old Hick is elected
But by lingo, I'll my bacon, for if the Times is
bought out Ill send on to Adams and offer to turn too
if he'll pay me at the rate Of fifty cents day for the
time I've spent fighting of him.

GentIemen-Having understood that the Greek

fulfil the philanhrOpic intentions of the friends of

send those supplies to this counry-I beg state to
you, that the provisions sent from America might be
the cause of the Greek armies rendering their coun-

fully into the charitable intentions of the humane and
benevolent in America and perceive that their desire
is to afford relief 10 the INDECENT and nearly starving
population; but am at the same time persuaded that
1t would be greater service rendered Greece and
IN this case to humanity, TO dedicate part if not all
of these supplies to the of the army acting against
the enemy; for the natural consequence would be-
greater activity in carrying the war, and greater
probability OF putting end to contest which is al
