Advice to Young Artisans.

The best plan and the one surest Of sue
cess, think is to have every young man,
when he starts in business select that trade
which best suits his natural genius. Now
phrenologistr tell us and indeed we know il
ourselves that there is as great difference
in the formation Of the brain as in that of
the face. We are each created for some
wise and different purpose. Some boys are
natural mechanics while others have not
the slightest idea Of machinery and have not
the taste for it. For my part never had the
slightest curiosity to know any thing about
mechanics. could not state to-day
the principal on which the stcam-engine
works for . hundred dollars. Iou may
take such boy as | was and set him to
watch making and after seven wears he
might be able to take apart and put together
a watch but it would be contrary to his in
cluaton and uphill work all his life. But
If he selects the vocation he Is fitted fer il
is pleasure and there is nothing to prevent
him from succeeding in business and making
money Its difficult to go across the grain.
You will find from the pulpit to the anvil
many people who have mistaken their avo-
cation. Get them on the right track and
they will succeed. Sometimes persons will
get on the right track and yet not succeed,
because they are placed in too circumscribed
a position in some village or town where
they cannot get full play for their faculties.
\ man in this case shonld got away out
where he will not be So circHmscribcd.

TWO FATAL ACcInENIs.

There are two accidents of recent occur
renee which call for special notice at the
hands of the press. The latest in date is the
falling in of the roof of the new depot, build
ing at the corner of Fifteenth and Market
streets, for the Pennsylvania Central Railroad
Company. One person was killed and others
severely injured; and had the disaster hap
Pened after the completion Of the structure
and It's occupation by large number of per-
sons, the destruction of life would have been
terrible indeed
Investigation will, it is to be hoped, ascer-
tain the true cause of the casualty, which now
appears to have been some strange and7un-
ardoDable bunder either in the architectural
plan of the edifice or in it, mechanical exccu-
ton. A building of such great size, and TO be
used for the purposes of one OF the richest rail-
way corporations in the country, should have
been carefully put up with a view 10 strength
and duration. But it tumbled in on the heads
of the builders like house of cards, and it
win not at all surprise us if the whole
affair is forgotten in less than a week
We presume, of course, that the imperectness
of the building is in no degree attributable TO
any want of expense in getting the best mate
rials and the best worllmen. The railway
company named is wealthy enough TO pay tog
constructing its depots and the like in the
most thorough and substantial manner, while
every cent of necessary expenditure in such
cases is the falsest sort Of economy.
We have no desire to be unjustly censorious
in referring to this matter now, but we may
be allowed to say that, in our Judgment, such
an accident could not possibly have taken
place unless through the fault Of some person
or persons, who should be held duly respon-
sible. If the superstructure, or any part oft,
was too heavy for les proper supports, or if
there was any want Of skin or caution in the
process of putting up the walls, and so forth,
then, in either case, the casualty arose from
criminal Ignorance or carelessness, and should
De, If possible, punished exemplarily. Other
wise, occurrences of this kind may be expected

What reason or what right has railway
company, OF It's servants, to lock mp score
or more of people in car, from which they
should have the utmost facility Of egre,s in
case Of an accident? Whatever the object of
the company may be in such regulation, we
seriously doubt whether the evils that may,
as we have just seen, result from the practices
do not much more than balance any possible
good ends which it is designed TO secure.
The matter is surely worthy orthe grave con-
sderatiOn Of those who manage railways in
this country. Such an accident as the one of
which we now speak seems to furnish argu-
ment enough against the custom Of locking
passengers up in cars, to require It's immediate
and entire abandonment.
