For some time past our attention has
been called TO the number of youths in
This community destitute of regular en-
ployment who spend their time ounging
about. Why is this ? Is il because no
employment, can be had, OF such as can
be had is not considered reputable We
are inclined to think the latter has had
more 10 do in bringing about this result
than the former. In fact there is a seni-
ment in this, as in too many other CON-
munilies. which prevents young men
from engaging in pursuits which require
manual labor. Most every parent thinks,
NOWADAYS. his son must have PROBES
SION, or if this is no, within the compass
of his means he must at last be put in a
store as the next best chance for acquiring
an HONORABLE position in society. Now
We have no objections TO make against toe
particular choice which parents may make
for their sons, but the evil effects Of such
sentiment as We havejust noticed, is OBJ
vious. Many parents, although they
must see their sons can be neither mer-
chants nor professional men, yet refuse
10 give them the only available prepare
ton within their reach Tor their future
support and responsibility. In this pa
rents are guilty Of a wrong not only TO the
son but the community at large.
Those persons who indulge this view

of civil society. And that parents too Of
ten neglect TO prepare them for the duties
Of life is a,,ested by our crowded jails and
State penientaries. We sincerely hope
parents AMI guardians will come to rightly
consider their interests and that of the
community. Ideness is bane TO any
community.
Discard then forever any sentiment
which acts as check upon homes, labor,

The Great Reaping Machine Case.
The U. s. Supreme Court on Thurs
day, of last week, decided The suit be-
tween the rival inventors, Mccormick and
Manny,in favor of Nanny on every point.
The Washington Star says:
The case involved several important
principles and large amount Of money.
1t was deliberately argued during five
days, with an unprecedented array OF
working models and illustrations. showing
the operation Of various reaping machines
in the grain field. The decision is very
important one, as it affects all the manu-
features and users of machines throughout
the country. The case was originally
tried in the Circuit Court Of Illinois, and
decided by JUICES Mclean and Drum
mond in favor of Nanny. Mr.. Justice
Grier delivered the opinion of the Su-
preme Court, affirming the former decis-
ion and dismissing McCormick's bill with
costs.
