admire as he snor;s and loans along is narrow

intricate PATH bent upon producing something
Tor the orld's use or wear any just idea OF the
magnitude or real difficulties of the undertaking.
The reckless course, the bitter disappointment oil
many OF them answer this in the negative, a nd
we think it no eXaggeration TO say that full one
hall OF those who engage in this pursuit have Ell.
Their definite aim, or are totally unfit to accom-
piish it. 1t is no uncommon thing tor large fac
tory to be erected with the question still open as
to whether it shall be used to produce WOODEN or
cotton fabrics, or be employed a a paper mill, or

II particular style OF goods be fixed upon, the
owner OF the mill will seldom be able to tell you
the cos OF prod ucng, or the quantity of the same
article now made in the country or imported from
abrsad, or the average consumption per year.
His train ofargnment he thinks is without defect

We know that the genius OF our people is uni

utacturing with clearer perception of its diff
cuties than is here noticed have by the force OF
an energy and talent that were equal to the emer-
gency, alter beating for awhile amid the break
ers, come out into clear sailing But large
propotion OF such adventurers find themselves in
tie same dilemma with down east skipper, who
with boy was trying to manage small sloop,
when the master OF a Liverpool packet who had
been dcdging out OF their way, incensed at their
awkwardness called out-"Wha sloop is that ~

she's too much for me!' A maniac urer is not
made by the possession OF capital or water priv

A long period of practical training, power OF

knowledge thus obtained, and small share
