. What does he do for a Living ?

What does that young man do for a
living? is the common enquiry, as some
foppish, well dressed individual passes
by. Nothing-nothing at all, is the
frequent reply. "But what supports
him in his extravagances? None can
tell-but We have the privilege of guess
ing. That young man that dresses in
broad cloth carries a cane, and is so ex-
tremely polite to all his acquaintances-
especially the ladies-is the<son of a man
in moderate circumstances, who finds it
difficult to sustain himself with a ru0d~r-
ate income. His son wishes to be a
gentleman, and lives without labor
The father, in his folly, refuses to put
him to a trade, or send him to work on
a, farm; hoping that something will
turm-up, by-and by, when business will
be better, for his son to obtain a good
living without work. He is now oblig,
ed to dispense with the luxuries of life
perhaps with some of its comforts, for
his son. to keep up appearances, and get
into good society, as that kind Of CONS
pany is termed, where young men have
nothing to do but to dress according to
the latest fashions. lie is quite indie
pendent and uses language to bis seniors
.lthat might be considered uncoarteous. in
a King. lie faces all Classes and condi.
tons without a blush, and dares to look
with contempt on the honest apprentice,
whose generous soul would outweigh a
thousand as light as his OWN, The
companions he chooses are like himself,
y pulled up with. vanity, swelling with
Importance, and who make a pretence to
doing something, by visiting occasional
ly a lawyers office. to read a page OF
two of Blackstone. Tn end of such a
youth it needs no prophetic vision to see.
" It is as plain as the. way to Market
as DR.. Franklin would say, that lie
will turn out a low, despised and miser
able fool. Perhaps the p~enitentiary Will
bring him up-perhaps the gallows.-
But if he escape these, it will be to hang
like an incubus on those OF his friends,
who, for pity sake, have not the heart to
send him where BE deserves.

The bedstead could not be removed
without taking it apart, and that was the
business of a carpenter. We might
change our chamber if we choose, bat
not our bedstead. Finally, after an ap

house, two carpenters were summoned,
and after a whole morning spent in DO,

Politics and Patriotism.

Craftsmanship is the science of gov
ernmeut, and of this, every citizen ofatree
country should know something. Poh-
tics is craftsmanship in its practical op.
erations. When entered. upon intelli-
gently and with proper motives, 1t Is q
high and noble calling. But alas, the
science of ruling has sadly ~degcnerated
amongst us. 1t has become a trade-a
trade, the tricks of which, are many
times not over honest. Ambitious men
have degraded it into q mere appliance
for The accomplishment of selGSh ends,
and have not ~scrupled to resort to all
the arts of the designing deanagogue to
compass their purposes. SO corrupt has
the profession Of politics become, that
it not unfrcqueptly happens that good

Office, because they are too ronoraofc TO
stcop to the use of such means as are
deemed necessary to secure election
Ard we are sorry to say thatthe event
full times, upon which we have f4llen,
have not materially improved the morals
of many Of our politicians. When life,
liberty, property and religion, everything
sacre ed and holy ; in fact, With alttleness
ofsoul which is almost sublime, they are
oblivious CT all save their own personal
interest and agyrandizsment. Alas, for
tJe country whose public men cannot be
sober cd into at least q decent respect for
vii Il and honor by such n crisis as we
are passing through. Such being the
chat acteristics os the politics of the land
it is not surprising that many good men
regard the matter with disgust and min
listers Of the Gospel, and all pious men,
are virtually i~nterdicted from having
anything to do with it.
Bat patriotism is a different thing
tits not q trade but a principle, a sa,
