Support your own Mechanics.

The following sensible remarks, which we
find in some of our exchange, We transfer 10
our columns, and would earnestly commend
them to our readers in the city, and the State
at large:
There is no truth more undcniable than that
it is the bouuden duty of every community to
support its mechanics. They are worthy
and indispensable class of men, and we find
no town or village Furnishing without their
aid Indeed their presence or absence is al
ways true index Of the condition of a place
whether it is advancing in wealth and mpor,
tance, or sinking into. decay. Whenever we
pass through village and hear the frequent
sound of the car penterS hammer, the cHnk Of
the blacksmilh's anviI-lhat village, we say
to ourselves, is fourishing. 1t cannot be 9th,
eiwise, for the producers arc actively employed,
and outnumber the consumers. Whenever
and wherever this is the case, the people are
growing wealthy, and at the same time train
ing up the.rising generation to habits Of indus
try and morality. Where, if city or village
pursue the opposite of this course-.neglects
its mechanics and supports those Of some
foreign town-those who can, will be COM
PEELED to go to some other place, and those
who are compelled by the force OF circum
stances to remain, will become idle and profit.
gate-they will cease to produce and be con-
sumers-in few years they become beggars,
and their children ignorant and vicious.
If there is any truth in the assertion that we
ought, as a nation, to give the preference to
with regard to the community; boti,- are sus
tanned by the samearguments.e If merchant
would have around him substantial customers,
let him by every means in his power, support
and foster the mechanics Of his village, aud as
they become more wealthy their custom will
increase, especially in these articles on which
he makes the greatest profits, for it is undeni.
ape that as men become more wealthy, they
also become more luxurious, AND no merchant
will deny that articles of luxury always afford
the greatest profits. The habit OF importing
large quantities of cheap and half made art.
cles of competition with our village mechanics
is short sighted and wrong, both as regards the
mechanic and consumer; and if the merchant
would look further into the operation of things,
he would find that he crossed the path of his
own interest by doing so. Let the merchant
bring the case to his own door, and he perhaps
may better understand it; suppose that every
individual who possesses the means and who
uses in his family four or five hundred dollars
worth of goods per annum, should, instead ol
buying of him at retail, 60 to some city whole
sale establishment end purchase his years sup
DIV would he not in bitterness condemn such
an n illibersl course, and would he not say to
him with truth that he was warning against his
| own interest, by destroying the business of his

THoteHTs on BoyHooD.-Beauliful boy:
hood that link uniting in itself and to ITSELF
both parents-half feminiue in nature, form,
mind, and affection yet of how decidedly mascu,
line energy; and, again, at the voice oflove and
sympathy, melting all that was masculine into
tears of gentlest, most feminine tenderness.
Beautiful boyhood, sporting in every wind,
tossing its sunlit locks in the darkness OF the
stormiest skies, and barring his breast to every
element-fearest beautiful boyhook beloved
nature. who like kind shool.mstress, sits upon
the hills and claps her hands in JOY at his pas
time, giving him the earth with all it's lands
capes, at once for his school and play grounds
and the rocks aud the woods re.echo his mlrth;
and then in Thoughtful liberty wandering, the
quiet hooks enclose him in their greenness, ma,
king companions of every thing, animate ana
inanimate- with beauty, searching
with a worshipping curiosity into every leaf
and flower about his path while the boughs,
bending to him, touch him with their sunshine,
picking up lessons Of present delight and future
wisdom; by river-sides, by brooks, in glens IN
the fields, and angling, in every breath ne
draws intelligence and health.

A FACT FROM NATURE.-The white and the
red ants, make slaves of the black ants, yet
they are the very insects to which the Holy
Scriptures refer US to learn wisdom. For every
negro in slavery in the South, there are more
than hundred thousand negro ants in slavery
in the same region.
Slavery, therefore, of the black to the white
man is not incompatible with the economy OF
Nature. The institution cannot be founded in
sin, or we would not have been referred to the
insect slavehoding Sinners to learn wisdom.

rated in an Ohio paper:
Tom Corwin and Tom Ewing being on a
political tour through the State stopped at the
house of a prominent politician at night, but
found no one at home but a young niece, who
presided at the supper table. They had never
seen great men, and supposed they were ele.
phantne altogether, and all talked in great Ian
guage.
"Mr. Ewing, will you take condiments in
your tea," inquired the young lady.

Corwin's eyes twinkled. Here was fun for
him.
Gratihed at the apparent success Of her first
trial at talking to big men, the young lady ad.
dressed Mr.. Corwin in the same manner, "Will
YOU take condiments in your tea sra"
"Pepper and salt, but no mustard" was the
prompt reply of the facetious Tom.
OF course nature must out and Ewing and
the entertainer:roared in spite of themselves
Corwin essayed to mend the matter, and was
valuable in t.necdote, and wit, and compliment
But the wound was immedicable. The young
lady to this day declars that Tom Corwiu is a
coarse, vulgar, disagreeable fellow.
