SINGULAR ORIGIN OF A NEW

The Mains CultivatOr gives an account
of new kind of pOtatoe. which is appar.

The origin Of the potatoe now in geneE.

the food Of man, is involved in doubt,
but that production is believed to have
been originally an excressenee growing
upon 1 plant in South America. The at.

production might settle the question:

LEARNING A TRADE.

There are many people who dislike

lSge education. They think meanly oil
him who wears leather apron, and is not
dressed up il fneFy and show. This we
believs is the reason why there are 90
many petlifoggers and vagabOnds in the
world. Many son has been sent to col
lege with the expectation ofhis parents
highly excited-but like the fable of the
mountain, he only produced a mouse.
We think highly Of our colleges and lit
erary institutions, and rejoice TO see them
prosper, we are more pleased to see an
individuals mind turned in a right cur
rent. There are hundreds of lawyers
who would have made better mechanics,
and would have obtained more comfort
able livelihood; and we have no doubt
there are mechanics who would stand high
al the bar, had they been blessed with
a liberal education. But il child have
talents they will not remain hid; ana no
matter what his trade or profession is,
they will sooner or later burst forth.
There are many distinguished individuals
in the world who were bred 10 mechanic
al trades.--Many ofthe editors Of the best
conducted journals were mechanics, and
dOcredit to the station they occupy. And
our mechanics too, generally speaking,
are the most industrious part Of the COM
munity. They are almost always busiIy
employed. But it is apt TO be otherwise
with professional men. They are often
diItaory, lazy.--It Is an effort for them "a
bend iher minds to a dHicult pursuit
They are veil Informed, because they
spend much Of theif time in reading; but
THE Is an improbable business, unless we
have some definite object in view.
In these remarks we wish It not 10 be

wish to address ourselves, particularly to
those parents who are hesitating what oc-
