why Don't You LEARN IA Tradel

We clip the following from the Maysyile
Eagle, hoping that it will not only be peru
sed, but that the absurd ideas formed by
most Of the young men of lhe non.respecta-
bility of trade, wi be at onct and forever
banished from their minds;
The question was propouuded in cur hear.
ing lew days since, to young man who
had been for several months unsuccessiully
seeking employment as clerk or salesman
in some Of our leading houses. Complaining
Of his il-nck. one of his friends who knew
he had mechanical talent, but doubted wheth.
er he could make himself useful either as a
clerk or salesman, put the interrogatory to
him which we have placed as the capuin ol
th, article. The reply was, mot so reSpecta-
bic as mercantile occupation" Under
this deiusive idea cur stores are crowded
with young men who have no. capacity for
business, aud who, because OF the faucied
respectabiiily ol doing nothing, waste away
their minority upon salaries which CdEnot
possibly hquidale their expenditures.
Late, too late in lie they discover their
error, aud before ;hey reach The age OF thirty,
many of them look with envy upon the thuf-
tY mechanic, whom in the days OF their boy.
hood, they were accustomed to derida. The
false respectabllity which prevails Ia the sOi
distant fashionable society Ol the present day
has ruined thousands OF YCuLs men, and
viii ruin thousands more.

"The world owes Ne Living


No such thing, Mr.. Fold up.your hands;
the world owes you not single cent. You
have done nothing these twenty years but
consumed the products earned by the sweat
of other mems brows.
You have cat, and drank, and slept; what
thenl
Why, eat-and drank and slept again.
And this is the sum total of your life
And the world owes you living For
what? How comes it indebted TO you to
that triaing amount? What have you done
for ii? What family in distress have you be-
friended? What products have you created?
What miseries have you allevioted? What
acts have you perfected? The world owes
YOU living, idle man? Never was there a
more absurd idea You have been a sponge
"a tax upon the world ever since you came
into it. L. your creditor to vast amount.
Your liabilities are immense, your assets are
nothing, and yet you say the world is owing
you. The amount in which you stand indebt-
ed to the world is greater than you will ever
have the power 10 liquidale.
You owe the world the labor of your two
strong arms, and all the skill in work they
might have gained; you owe the world the
labor of that brain Of yours, the sympathes
of that heart, the energies of your being; you
owe the world the whole moral and int lec-
tual capabilities of a man. Awake, then,
from that dreaming, do nothing slothfulness
in which you live, and let US no longer hear
that false assertion that the world is owing
you, until you have done something.

When you hear man ostentatiously la
menting his collective education" it is u
sign he thinks himsell"a devil Of a fellow"
for all that.
When you hear woman saying, SITS a
pity Sally Brown is SO homey, It's sign
she thinks her own daughter, is, on the cuu-
trary quite the reverse"
When you hear man often complaining
that his newspaper is "hoTibly stupid, and
not at all edited as it ought to be-" it's sure
sign, ten to one, that lie is considerably in
arrears Oh the subscription.
When you hear a woman inveighing pub
licly against "lhe marriage state us it is, it's
a sign she never tried it--or if she has, mar
riad man whose l0ite was probably as much
in fault as himself.
When you heara man declaiming against
the Union of the States as Ian unholy ulli-

fast as possible; and the quicker the better
for his conscience aud the county.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Legations of
France and Russia are on the best of terms
here, which may indicate some sentiment of ac-
cord between their governments.
Secretary Cobb's recent circular requesting
American captains to hoist the stars and
stripes in the presence of foreign vessels OF
war, is principally designed for application on
the coast of Africa, where they manifest dis
position toembarrass British cruisers stationed
there.
Mr. Mason has rendered his resignation as
Minister to Paris, but lie will be retained, as it
is now decided not to displace Mr.. Dallas from
his post as Minister to Great Britain.
The Navy Department is informed that Min
mister McLane, in anticipation Of an attack on
Tampico by the Miramon party, has requested
force of marines and others to be stationed
for the protection of the American consulate
and American citizens The request was
granted. There were at Vera Cruz two Eng
lish, one French, and two Spanish war vessels.
The Secretary of the Treasury has decided
that engravings. painted or colored in whole or
in part, after they are printed, are subject to a
duty of Is per cent AS general practice,
under previous tariffs, the metal duty has been
assessed on plated castors, whether they were
furnished in importation with bolts or not and
the glass duty on castor bolts when imported
separately from the stand The Secretary sees
no sufficient reason for departing from that
tariff, the metal being the material in chief,
therefore the plated ware is subject to duty
of "a per cent. Linen shirt bosoms not fit for
wear in their present state, but rather the ma
terlal to be used in the manufacture of shirts,
and being linen fabric, will be treated as a
manufacture of flax subject to duty of l5
per cent.

Continental papers announce the failure of
the banking house of Fronmel & Co., at Augs-

managers.
The London Stock Exchange has been very
dull, and consos Slightly declined daily. The
Times city article, dated Friday evening, says,
complete stagnation continues to prevail at
the Stock Exchange. The scarcity of stock
having been somewhat relieved, prices closed
about per cent. worse than yesterday. Dis
count market very dull; good bills at two to
three months taken at 81 a 4 per cent. Gold

The bills of Savestopalo & Son, Greek
firm in London, were yesterday returned The
house held a respectable position, but its en-
gagements, which are chiefly in foreign corn
trade, are not believed to be large.
In the wheat market, yesterday, Mondays
rates were nominally quoted, but the tendency
was downward, and sales could not be effect
ed, except at Is reduction.
The Times city article says funds opened
Friday without recovery from the decline of
the previous day, and the market was very
heavy throughout. AT the final transactions
the demand for money in open market were
very moderate; at the bank fair business
was done, chiefly with regular customers.
