You who dislike the name, of a mechanic.

beware how you treat young men who work
for aliying. Far better discard the we'll fed
pauper with all his rings, jewelry, and brazen
pomposity, and take to your affections the
callous-handed, intelligent, and industrious
mechanic. Thousands have bitterly regretted
their folly, who have turned their backs On
honest industry. A few years of bitter expe-
rience have taught them a severe lesson. In
this country no man or woman should be res
pected, in our thinking, who will not work
bodily or mentally, and who curl their lips with
scorn, when introduced to hard working men.
