MEoHASIcs.--St. Faul was mechanic
"a maker of tents from goats hair: and,
in the lecttre.'s opinion. he was nodei
mechanic. He WAS net only thorough
workman at his trade, but was scolar--a
perfect master, mol only OF his native ije-
brew, but Of three foreign tongues--a
knowledge OF which he obtained by close
application to study during his leisure
hours, while serving his appienticeship.-
1t was the custom among the Jews to teach
their sons some trade "a custom no. con-
fined to the poorer classes, blu. also piacti-
sed BY tie wealthy; and ii was commen
proyetb srhcns then, that if a father cid
not teach his son mechanical occupation,
he taught hin tc steal The cusiom was
wise one; aud if the fathers OF the press
ent day would initiate their example their
wunkled cheeks would not so often blush
for the helplessness, and not untrequen,ly
the criminal conduct of tlieir ohspring.-
Even If father Intended his son fol Que
of the professions, it would be an incalcu-
liable benefit to the son to instruct him in
come braReh ot mechanism. His eGuea
ton would not only be more complete and
healthy, but he might at some future time.
IN case Of failure IN his profession, find his
trade very convenient as to means of earn
ing his bread; and he mus. necessanally be
more competent in mechanics from his
professional education. An educated me-
cbanic was model machine. while an un-
educated mechanic was merely machine
working under the perintendency OF AN
other mans brain. Let the rich and the
proud no longer look upon mechanism as
degrading TO him who adopts branch Of
it as his calling. 1t is noble ealing-as
noble as the Incidence and inactivity OF
wealth is ignoble. Dr.. Adams,
