Having a Trade.

By all means have trade. Do not 90
up and down the world, and find nothing
you can put your hands to. You may not
always be as prosperous as you are now.
Thank heaven we live in no land Of pri-
mogeni,ure, hereditary succession. Each
man is morally bound 10 labor. Have
something you can turn your energie- 10
when times gjach--bave a trade, We re-
peat. Educate youI nauds; il viii be ~
everlasting resource. We never knew d
man who, with good trade, failed OF gel
ting good living, aud much more with
right application. What though you are
going to college, or into profession T!
The case is not altcred--you need it just
as much. Ii will come in play every day
in your life. Discipline OF the hand
should always 60 before that Of the head.
We never knew college boy that wasn't
better for a substantial trade. He always
graduates with the highest honors. lie
is sure 10 be a scholar. The fact is, he
knows how to work-to conquer. He
but transfers himself from the shop TO the
study. Young man, decide at once 10
learn trade, apply yourself with all your
mind and heart, and be lis master, and If
you are not obliged 10 work at ii, you
have laid by so much, and such kind Of
wealth can never be taken from you.

AMERICAN WOMEN EXcEL IN BEAUTY
AND IAsTE.-A Paris cores >poudcut OF
the Portland Journal SAYS -
For the satisfaction of my countrymen,
| may say that nowhere in the streets Of
london 0: Paris 23u be seen a Larger nam-
/ Der Of we'll dressed men than can he met
on Broadway, New York As TO Ameri-
tcanIadies, as far as my observation goes,
/ their taste in dress is as much superior to
that cl their European sisters as lhey are
also superior in physical charms. This
IS no exaggerarIon, but PhiiosoPhic truth.
. Our fair country women need not come TO
Paris fashions, for they are fully capable
of making them Cor themselves. French
miliners viii no doubt maintain their
sovereignty as long as the present charm
{ Ing but cheating prestige can be kept up
yet 1t seems as II elegant civilization was
now sufficiently advanced with Us for
declaration of independence to be made.
1t may be the case that uDtil the finer fab
rics for dress, now important in large
quantities, shall be manufactured in our
own country, the present slavery 10 for
eign fashion be continued; bat every A.
merriam musl wish to see tie dav arrive,
when the present dependence in respect
to LO.h %lII no longer exist. In word,
our country should make lis own laws Of
dress, Us well as lhe material fabrics.
A FIRE IN THE REAR.-The Aimsburg
VlIIager tells a good story Of an exceed
u.iv anxious Individual who was "most
crazy" 10 obtain some account of the

was told by a wag one day, that If he

initiate him in due form into the myster-
Gus order The proposition "took," and
accordingly ne went 30 the place Al the

most unceremonIous "gup" IN the rear,
which caused him to yaCale the premises

watchdog, whose owner had given HIM

The Arctic Regions.

/ The mosquitoes are mOgc troublesome
in tie regions Of perpetual ice than they
are in hot lauludes. Some OF the officers
Of The British Sloop of war IIncomalee,
recently at San Francisco, from Port Cla-
renee, IN Behring's Straits, says that the
musquilOes were more numerous than IN
Central America. They inhaled them by
the mOu!h!ui, aud could nOI walk out
without handkerchief or veil over their
faces.
The natives are extremely docile, and
very intelligent f; but, as is The case with
the Esqulmaux generally, very lazy, lbe
