MECHANICS.

There are many people who dislike
the name Of Mechanic, and who would
rather than put their children TO an
honest trade, tug hard at their business
and live sparingly for the purpose Of Civ
ing them college education. They
think mcanly Of him who wears the
lca,hern apron and is not dressed up in
Gnery and show. This we believe is
the principal reason why there are so
many pettiiogers and other kinds OF yag-
abonds in the world. Many son has
been rent to college. with the cxpcc,a-
tion Of his parents highly cxc.,.d; but

well Of our colleges and literary institu-
tions. and like 10 see them prosper but
we like better 10 see an individual )
mind turned in the righ, current, There
are hundreds of lawyers who would
have made better mechanics and have
attained more comfortable livelihood.
And we have no doubt there are many
mechanics who would have stood high
at the bar had they been blessed with u
liberal education. But if child have
talents, they will not remain bid and
no matter what his trade or profession
is, they will sooner or later burs, forth.
There are many distinguished individ,
ua!s in the literary world who were
bred to mechanical trades Many OF
the editors Of our best conducted Jour
nal, were mechanics, and do credit t.
the stations they occupy. And our me
chanics, too, generally speaking, are
the most indus rious and most mofal
part Of the c immunity. They are al
most always busily employed. But it is
ap, o be otherwise with professional
men. They are often diliatory, lazy,
1t is an effort for them to bend their
minds TO difficult pursuit. They are
well Informed, because they spend
the much Of their time in reading but
this is an Improbable buSinc sunless we

We would not be understood to think

your children choose themselves what

never think a trade too humble for your
