The Young Hams Leisure.,

Young man after the duties Of the day
are over, how do you spend your evenings?
When business is dull, and leaves at your dis
posal many unoccupied hours, what DISPOSE
ton do you make Of them? I have known,
and now know, many young men. who, if
they devoted themselves to any scientific or
professional pursuits, the time they SPEND in
games Of chance, and lounginc in bed, might
raise to any em;neDce. You have all read Of
the sexton's son who became n fine astrono-
mer by spending \ short time every evening
in gazing at the stars. after ringing the bell
for nine Q clock. Sir William PhIpps, who
at the age of forty-five had attained the order
of knighthool, and the Office Of High Sheriff
IF New England, and Governor of Massachu-
sctts. learned to read and write in his eigh-
teeath year, of q shipcarpentcr IN Boston. :
William Clifford, the great editor Of the Quar-
teTIy, WIS an apprentice to shoemaker, AMI
spent his leisure hours in study And be-
cause he had neither pen nor paper, slate nor
pencil, he wrought out his problems on smooth
leather. with blunt awl
David Bittenhouse, the American Astrono-
mer, when plow-boy, was observed to have
covered his plow and fences with figures and
calculations. James Ferguson the great Scotch
Astronomer, learned to read By himself, and
mastered the elements of astronomy while
shepherds boy IN the felds by night. And
perhaps it is not too mach TO say that if the
hours wasted IN idle company, in conversation
at the tavern. were only spent in the pursuit
Of knowledge, the dullest apprentice at any
Of our shops might become an intelligent
member of society, and q ft person for most
