we had with a widow lady, who desired US
to receive her little son of ten years of age
into our Office and learn him the typograph-
ic art, paying him fixed salary for his
services during the three months he was to
remain in the office. Our reply under the
circumstances, we have since thought was
quite modest and polite: Madam. said we,
when children are semitic school, the teach
er expects toreceiye pay instead Of paying
the pupil, and your son for the first year.
at his youthful age would only be an ex-
pense to US and an annoyance to our COM
positors, and therefore we cannot offer your
son salary at the present time, but if you
choose to have hirnrenain and be instructed
gratis he is at liberty b do so.
If the South would fester manufactures
and learn to live within herself, it is high
time that parents should look more to the
future welfare Of their children, than their
present income, and see that those who
intend TO be mechanics arp placed in the
proper position to become thoroughly ac-
quainted with their mechanical pursuits.

From The Jackson Star.
Apprenticeship.

The nescessity of serving a regular ap-
premiership before entering into business,
or engaging in mechanical trade, seems
seldom to enter the head of those who
have sons compelled to labor for sdbsst-
ence. The parent instead of asking how
long will it take to give his son thorough
knowledge of business, or of the trade he
wishes to pursue, too frequently inquiries
how much he can get for his services per
annum. The future prospect ofa lucrative
business when the child shall have become
man, and have been fully prepared to
carry it on with success, is lost sight of,
in the immediate prospect Of receiving
few dollars and cents. The result of this
course is evident--the employer will place
the youth at that part of his business in
which he can earn the most, and refuse to
give him instruction in those particular
branches in which his labor will not be
profitable. An apprentice cannot be much
benefited in this way, for as soon as he
has learned one branch ofhis trade, he will
usually graduate, and seek another stua-
tion, when he viii generally confne him
self for the s.almighty dollar" to that part
Of his profession with which he is conver-
SAINT, and thus lose all chance of ever quail
flying ghimselftotake charge Of an establish
ment for himself or others. How much bet
terswould it be for both employer and APP
prentice, if a regular term Of years was
agreed upon, and each one bound in a penal
sum faithfully to perform his part of the
..t.ao4 ,,bicb rxrac IN epcl1ro IN ono IN a n.
prentice for at least three years, and to the
othera thorough knowledge of the business
or trade in which he was engaged. And
TO no trade will this reasoning apply with
more force than to printing, for when an
apprentice is engaged to remain three years
forhis board, clothes and instruction, he will
generally be sufficiently contented for the
FIRST vear, when he is an expense to the Of
fce but as soon ashe has become somewhat
familiar with one important part Of his du-
ties--the setting Of type from printed
copy--away goes the impatient youth to
another office, and engages IN that one
branch of his profession to the exclusion
Of knowing how to set manuscript, 90 700
sgork, press uork, and a thousand other
| httle minntia about a printing Office with
which it is requisite for practical printer
10 become acquainted.
We are led to make these remarks from
the number who present themselves for q
situation who have only learned to set
type, and from a case in point which re-
Gently occurred in our Office, which IS

Tell her, brother, closely listen, = hGA

That in death my eyes did glisten,
With the tears her memory stirred.
Tell her she must kiss my children,
Like the kiss last impressed,
Hold them as when last / held them,
Folded closely to my breast;
Give them early to their Maker,
Putting all her trustin God,
And He never will forsake her,
For he's said so in his word.

They were all my life to me;
Would could once more caress them,
Ere sink beneath the sea;
Twas for them crossed the ocean,
What my hopes were I'll not tell,
But Pve gained an orphans portion,
Yet he doeth all things we'll
Tell my sisters / remember,
Every kindly parting word,
And my heart has been kept tender,
BY the thoughts their mem'ry stirred;
Tell them ne'erreached the haven

But have gained port called Heaven,
Where the gold will never rust.

Lay up nearer, brother, nearer,

And thy presence seemeth dearer,
When thine arms around me fold;

Soon yell miss me in your berth,
For my form will soon be lying,
Meath the oceans briny surf
Hearken to me brother, hearken,

Ere the veil my vision darken,
And 60 from hence away;

But my hope in God is strong,

That he doeth nothing wrong.

That in death i prayed for him.
