Encourage your Own Mechanics,
BY c. D. COLEsWoRTHY.

Do not send abroad for help, if you have work to do-when it can be done in your own neighbofhood-perhaps at your next door. Encourage your own honest, indus tri0us, and faithful mechanics. They need all the work they can get By such d course you keep money at home-assist the wor- thy, and have just as good work performed. It is the only way to make town prosper to support your schools and churches.- Where there is a disposition to send hun dred miles for articles that, to say the least, could be manufactured as we'll at your own door, there will always be little or no busi- ness done in the place-the churches will be thinly attended and all kinds of labor ex- tremely dull. Wherever mechanics are best employed, prosperity is seen-the so- cial virtues predomnate-traveling noun tebanks and pedlars retire in disgust, and a kindly, brotherly feeling is experienced, which is the source of unspeakable happi- ness.
