"Bchold the duteous son, the sire dccaycd,
The modest matron and the blushing maid;
Forced from their homes, melancholy train,

And Niagara stuns with laundering sound"

FRANKLIN says, "Ile who has Trade has
an estate" and never was more true or more
uselui maxim uttered even by that great man.
Many were the rules of conduct laid down nv
MN ard pracilsed, too, through his long life,
which, II followed by men in all times and
ages, would greatly improve the condition and
circumstances of the multitude The above
saying is easily to be understood bv all. and
applicable TO all professions and pursuits. Al
great day will it be for our country when
youth shall be induced or compelled to adopt
some calling, whether mercantile, or what is
called liberal profession, or what is really
mechanical. And a greater day will it be
when more OF them shall choose the latter
10 become respectable mechanics rather than
seconu-rate lawyers, or doctors, or divines.
Inc above remarks were suggested by a
little anecdote we heard related lately. A
young mar. born heir OF large estate, was, at
the age OF fifteen, regularly apprentced to
respectable and scientific mechanic, for the
purpose OF learning what is sometimes sheer
ingly called trade. There was no necessi
~ Tor such step, but the father chose so to
dispose OF the education of his son, often re-
PeatIng TO him, "he acho has trade has an es
tdte." The Young man became master of
OF his trade, and had the supreme happiness
(and earth can offer none more perfect of sup
porting his aged father by his skill and indus
try Tor the great fortune to which he had
been born heir was, by misfortunes, all lost.
Moreover, while performing this sacred duty,
his talents, industry, and integrity finally won
Tor HIM both fame and fortune.
AN HONEST BOY.
That "honesty is the best policy" was illus
trated some years since under the following
circumstances, detailed by the Rochester De-
mocrat: a lad was proceeding 10 an unce's
TO petition him for aid for his sick sister and
her children, when he found pocket-wallet
Containing $50. The aid was refused, and the
distressed family was pinched with want The
BOY revealed his fortune to his mother but ex-
pressed dowbt about using any portion of
The money. His mo,her confirmed his good
resolution the pockc-book was advertised
and the owner found. Being man of wealth,
upon learning the history of the family, he
presented the $50 to the sick mother, and
took the boy into his service, and he is now
one OF the most successful merchants in Ohio
Honesty always brings its reward to the mind,
