Mechanics.

st. PAUL was a mechanical maker o.
tents from goats hair and a model me,
chanlc. He was not only thorough
workman ~ his trade, but was scholar
perfect master, not only of his native
Hebrew, but Of three foreign tongues, a
knowledge of which he obtained by close
application TO study during his leisure
hours while serving his apprenticeship.
It was custom among the Jews to learn
The sons some trade--a custom not con-
fined to the poor classes, but was also
practised by the wealthy and it was
common proverb among them, that if
father did not teach his son a mechanical
occupation, he taught him to steal. This
custom was wise one A; and if the fathers
Of the present day would initiate their
example, their wrinkled checks would not
so often blush for the helplessness, and
not unlrcquenlIy criminal conduct of their
offspring. Even if father intended his
son for one Of the professions, il would be
an incalculable benefit to that son to in
struct him in some branch of mechanism.
His education would not only be more
complete and healthy, but he might at
some future time, in case Of failure in his
profession, fnd his trade very convenient
as means Of earning his bread and he
must necessarily be MORE competent in
mechanism from his professional educa-
ton. An educated mechanic is a model
machine, while an uneduca,ed mechanic
is merely a mechanic working under the
superintendence Of another's brain. lie,
The rich and the proud no longer look up
on mechanism as degrading to him who
adopts branch Of it as his calling. 1t is
noble calling--as noble as the Incidence
and inactivity of wealth is ignoble.

Mr.. EDIroR.--Will you allow one OF
your subscribers to call the attention OF
our citizens to the condition of an aged
and respectable man, who in his old days
has been overtaken by sore misfortune,
| aIlude to Mr.. JoHN B. WoLTz. He has
lived for many years in Ourtown--aIways
sober, honest and industrious. BY favor
ing others in going security, and others
not paying him what wa justly due him
and hard earned money, he was suddenly
overiaken by the vigorous demands OF
the Law. He had offered his Property
at low price but could fnd no purcba-
ser al last it was obliged to be solo at
aucton-thus deprived Of home in his
old age, he must commence the world
anew. The friends of the grav-headed,
the sympalhizers with the suderings Of
those made poor by the dishonesty Of
those whom they had befriended, will find
a worthy object in Mr., WOLF, for the ex-
ercise of their charity. He does not ask
aims but patronage and let those who
have work to do, in his line Of business,
Gavor him with their custom and pay him
literally and in cash for his labor. lie!
those also who would obey the command
of the Saviour, in careing for the poor
and who would 'not let their left hand
know what their right hand doeth, " carry
TO him such substantial relief as they can
furnish and in such way as not TO wound
the already lacerated heart of an aged and
infrm man. | ask the attention Of or
citizens to this matter, without the know
ledge Of the individual and solely with
view TO secure the compensation Of others
with myself, in doing something for
worthy, an aged and very feeble man.
