LVENISG Hours FOR MECHANICS What

tlcle Ia Favor OF the early closing of shops.
- what have evening hours done for mechan-
Ies who had only ten hours .oil, What in
the moral, whatin the scientific world, Heark.
Ell 10 these facts:
One of the best editors the Westminster
heyle" could ever boast, and one Of the most
DFiillant writers Ot the passing hour was y
cooper IN Aberdeen. One IF the editors Of q
London daily journal was a baker IN Elgiu.
perhaps The best reporter Oh the London Tunes
was weaver in Edinburgh; the editor Of the
itusss was a stone mason. One II the ablesi
ministers IN London was q blacksmith in Dun
dee; another vas . Matchmaker in Banff; the
Iite Dr- Milne, ot China, was herd boy in
hnyne; the Principal Of the London Mission
airy Soeiety, College at Hong Kong was sad
dier A. HUntly; and oEe Of tie best missiOpa-
ries that ever went - India was tailor in
Keith. The le ding machinist on the London
and Birmingham Railway, with t7OO year,
was mechanic in glasgow; and perhaps the
very richest in England was a working man in
Moray. Sir James Clarke, her Majesty ply
sloian, was adrsygist in Bauf Joseph Hume
was sailor first and then a laborer at the
pestIe and mortar in M1ntrose: Mr. M.Greg-
or, the member fJr dlssgow. was poor bOy

What an array Of great working men. Like

evening hours Of our young mechanics are more
valuable than they are aware f, aad il would
be well if ia our cities sOlR better places Cr

are few who have had IN opportunity Of judg-

good Mechanics Associations, for our young

from the many snares AID foolish wiles that
will leap them iuto folly and keep the mind
