 How extremely difficult 1t has in all ages been ound to convince the apprentice that his own interests and prosperity are advanced exactly in proportion o the degree of aithlness with which he discharges his duties to his employer, and the exefon he makes to promote his masters nlerest.Ihis arises, n I1sa- sure from the proneness oi young men 10 take thought only of the do not generally give hetn selves the least anxiety about the future, and seem to forget that they co may at some period not far distant, become masters and employers, ard be called upon to occupy responsible stations in society.
 le have often been pained to witness the want Of respect manifested by apprentices for their employers and the degree of indifference and neglect shown by the former to the interests ofihe laerInde6d so ex- tensve has been the mischief arising oisi this iiis and nschieyous of apprentices, that the cues ton is already agitated among employers whether the trouble and perpexity of boys atthe present day do not overbaanee all the valuation of their services
 These things ought not to be, and il need not be hus Let our young friends reflect what We have said, and each ask himself If all and more is not true and let him resolve at that t shall be no longer true of him. Ne beseech you, be failhlu and respect fu to those under whose charge and guardianship you have been placed, for by so doing you will only secure the confidence and respect of all around you but 1t will prepare you for cofrsc of usefulness to yourselves in after life and place within your reach important advantages when you 10 act for your selves.

Death of.Nathaniei .iacon.-The venerable
aud virtuous Nathaniel Macon, Of North
Carolina, is no more. The Warrington Re-
porter, Of Saturday last, contains the follow
ing annunciation Of his deccase:
ut is with feelings of deep regret we have
to announce the death Of the Hon. Nathaniel
Macon; he departed this life at his residence
in this county, on Tuesday morning, tho 29th
Of June, in the S3d year OF his age.
Mr.. Macon was member Of one or the
other branch of Congress, without intermis-
sion, almost from the formation Of the present
Government down to the year 1929, when he
voluntarily retired to private life, only to
emerge from it subsequently,, for short pc.
riod, to assist in the convention of his native
State in revising its constitution. During
the long term, and through al the exciting
periods, Of his public life, though always a
consp spicuous and influential party man, no one,
of any party, ever questioned his integrity or
the purity OF his motives, and he has descend.
ed to the tomb full Of years and with univcr-
sal respect."-[. Nat. httH.

OsE County ELEcTED rHr PEEsIpESr.--
u is remarkable fact. (says the Sieubenville
Herald) TINT Mr.. Van Buren, owes his rl-c-
iion 10 the Presidency, to the vote Of Bcrks
county. Pennsylvania. Had the majprity IN
TINT county been reversed, General Harrison
would have had the vote of Pennsylvania and
n difference would have been made against
Mr.. Van Buren, Of sixty electoral votes.
Brrks county has the largest German popn-
lntion Of any portion ofthe United States. II
was supposed until short time previous to
the election, that the Germans would go
for Harrison. but in this county they went in
a body for Van Buren,, and thus the German
emigrants. in single county in Pennsylva-
MIA, turned the scale in the last Presidential
election.
