CHoIeE OF a, PROFESSION. p Parents
and friends too often forget, that in de-
termining the future pursuits ofthe young
under their care, it is not enough that o
profession be respectable or lucrative, Or
one in which the youth may be expected
to succeed by means Of family influence.
In addition TO these circumstances, they
ought to take into account the talents, the
disposition, the natural bent of the mind
of the individual concerned; for if this
most important item be omitted in their
calculations, the probability is, that, if he
has an individuality of character, they
will seriously mar his happiness, while

to promote it. s..g t-. -...,.r, ~.:.
