A WORD TO AprRESr1cEs.-The Boston
Olive Branch, paper whose moral teachings
are always sound gives the following excellent
advice to apprentices, and fthey would follow
it, they would be all the happier and better.
Be faithful, boys. In IA few years you will
be of age, and it will give yon unspeakable sat
slacton to hear a good word spoken by your
masters in yonr face If you are idle aud neg.
ligent now, If you are eye.servants and rejoice
to be away from-the presence of your employ
ers, that you may give vent to your propensi-
ties-what encouragement have you to hope
that you will become anything but idle men and
vagabondsl A good, faithful apprentice will
always make worthy and industrious mar.
The correct habits Of youth are not lost in the
man. We have watched the progress of many
apprentices, and we never knew good boy to
turn oat bad man. fapprentices are real
ly honest and faithful, there can be no doubt
but they will become good, wise, and respected
citizens. ~>.
Associate with no youth who is addicted to
bad practices. One bad boy may ruin score.
As soon as you discover in a companion dis.
position to be dishonest, profane or even vulgar
in his language, we would beg of you TO at
tempt his reformation, and if you cannot sue.

Spend your leisure hours in some profitable
pursuit. Do not go to the theatre, or any
place of amusement where the mind is not real.

streets, or lounge in shops of bad repute = 80
Be kind to all your associates. Cultivate
benevolent feelings. If you sec. distress, or
sorrow, do all that in you lies to alleviate them.
When friend or companion is confined by
sickness make it point to call upon him, and
bestow all the little favors possible upon him.
Ii you cultivate kind feelings, you will seldom
quarrel with another. 1t is always better to
suffer wrong than to do wrong. We should
never hear of mobs, Or public out breaks, il
men would cultivate 'the kind feelings Of the
heart.
