The hammar is the universal emblem Of
mechanics. With it are alike forged the
sword Of contention, and the plough share Of
peaceful agriculture, the press Of the free,
and the shackle Of the slave. The eloquence
of the forum has removed the armies Of
Greece and Rome to a thousand battle-felds,
but the eloquence of the hammer has. cover
ed those fields with victory or defeat. The
inspiration of song has kindled up high hopes
and noble aspirations in the bosom of brave
knights and danes, but the inspiration oftbe
hammer has strewn the field with tattered
helm and shield, decided not only the fate Of
chiyalric combat but the fate of thrones,
crowns and kingdoms. The forging of thun-
der bolts was ascribed by the Greeks as the
highest act of Jove's omnipotence, and their
mythology beautiful ascribes Of one of theil
gods the task Of presiding at the hbors o.

1t is lementable'fact that too many pa
rents consider the learning of mechanical
trade Disgrace, and labor ignoble--worthy
only Of slave, and send out their sons, into
the world an encumbrance rather than use
ful members of society. People too often
judge men by their outside appearance, SEEM
ing to forget that it is the heart that consti-
tutes the gentleman and that the raiment
man wears Is no more a test of gentility than
the beard that he wears upon his face La
Dor and gentility are not antagonists; and the
connection between them in their true mean
ing is so close, that they-are alincst INSOFAR
able. We do not pretend to say that every
man who labors is a gentleman, but labor is
necessary to develop the good traits of the
heart and prevent idleness from planting the
weed of dissipation, which are so ruiuous to
the young. All great men are hard workers
and in no other way could they have attain
ed the position they hold. The most despis-
ed calling may be made honorable by the
honor of its professors !; nor will any trade de-
grade the man that is intrinsically pure. 1t
is the heart, the mind, the intention CARRIED
into the work that ennobles or degrades hinY
who is engaged in it. -a.a.....
Let not parents who almost compel their
sons to spend their time in idleness and con-
sequent debauchery and dissipation, or who
teach their sons to believe that labor degrades
then, and that the knowledge of mechanical
trade is stain on character,ev complain of
disappointed hopes in their children. The
destiny of the child is, to some extent in the
hands OF the parent, and depends greatly up
on the principles inculcated by them. How
many poor, idle, hesitating, erring outcast
is now creeping and crawling his way through
the world, who might have held up his head
and looked the world in the face with an un-
blanching eye, if his parents had given him
trade, and taught him that ..
'Honor and fame from no condition rise,
Act well your part there all the honor lies"
Mechanics are often sneered at by GER
tain class of pop-gun gentry, because they
fear not to acknowledge that he is acquainted
with a mechanical trade The man who
does this is no honor to the race of hu,aani-
ty; mere popinjay whose mind has been
taken complete possession of by the weeds of
idleness. He has never contributed single
mite to benefit humanity, or done a single
deed for the good of his fellow man. The
world in him Is burdened with an existence
that is curse to it. Then learn your sons
trade and prepare them to battle with tho
storms that they must meet ere they have
sailed far upon the voyage of life. Then they
can smile at the storm of adversity that may
gather over them in future life, knowing that
they have the power within themselves to.
meet and conquer it-Madison Visitor. "a

ENtf y into Iifs.

A man entering into life ought accurately
to know three things. Firstly, where he is.
Secondly, where he is going. Th:idly. what
he had best to do under these circumstances.
First where he is--that is to say, what sort
of world he has got into how large it is /;
what kind of creatures live in it, and how I;
what it is made Of, and what may be made
oft. Secondly, where is he going-that is
to say, what chances Of reports there are of
any other world besides this, what seems to
the nature of that other world, and whether
for information respecting it, he had better
consult the Bible, Koran, or Council of Trent.
Thirdly, what he had better do under these
circumstances--that is to say, what kind of
faculties he possesses; what are the pres
ent state and wants Of mankind; what
is his place in society, aud what are the read
lest means in his power of attaining happi-
ness and diffusing 1t. The man who knows
these things and who has had his will so
subdued in the learning them. that is ready
to do what he knows he ought we should
call educated and the man who knows them
nos, Is uasducsted, though he could talk all
the tongues Of Bable.

Brain an . Thought.

RICHMOND mentions the case of woman
whose brain was exposed in consequence of
the removal of considerable portion of its
bony covering by disease. He says he re-
peatedly made pressure on the brain, and
each time suspended all feelings and al! in
tellect, which were instantly restored when
the pressure was withdrawn. The same
writer also relates another case, that of a
man who had been trepanned, and who per
ceived his Intellectual faculties failing, and
his existence drawing to close, every time
the effused blood collected upon the brain so
as to produce pressure.
Professor Chapman, of Philadelphia, men-
tons, in his lectures, that he saw an individ-
ual with his skull perforated, and the brain
exposed, who was accustomed to submit
himself to the same experiment of pressure
as the above, and who was exhibited by the
late Professor Wester to his class. His in
tellectual and moral faculties disappeared on
the application of pressure to the brain they
we've held under the thumb, rs it were, and
restored at pleasure to their full activity by
discontinuing the pressure. But the most
extraordinary case Of the kind within my
knowledge, and one peculiarly interesting
to the Psychologist and metaphysician, is
related by Sir Ashley Cooper in his surgical
lectures. .... ..
A man by the name Of Jones, received an
injury on his head while on board vessel
in the Mediterranean, which rendered him
insensible. The vessel soon after this made
Gibraltar, where Jones was placed in the
Hospital, and remained there several months
in the same insensible state. He was then
carried on board the Dolphin frigate to
Deptford, and from thence was sent to St
Thomas Hospital London. He lay con-
stantly upon his back, and breathed with
difficulty. His pulse was regular, and each
time it beat he moved his fingers. When
hungry OF thirsty he moved his lips and
tongue. Mr.. Clyne, the surgeon, found a
portion of the skull depressed, trepanned
him, and removed the depressed portion
Immediately after this operation the motion
Of the fingers ceased, and at four o'clock in
the afternoon, the operation having been
performed at osia, he sat Up in bed; sensa-
ton and volition returned and in four days
he got out of bed and conversed. The last
thing he remembered was the circumstance
of taking prize in the Mediterranean
From the moment Of the accident, thirteen
months and few days, oblivion had come
over him, and all recollections ceased. lie
had for more than one year drank of the cur
Of Lethe, and lived wholly unconscious Of ex
istence, yet upon removing small portion
Of bone which pressed upon the brain, h,
was restored to the full possession of the pow
ers ofhis mind and body.-Dr. Brigham.
