Al MISTAKEN IDEA

One OF Our c0tempOrarles most tTuthfully
remarks that popular idea among our peo-
pie is that all of their sons should adopt
clerkships, and the adoption of the business
Of book keeping as means ofobtaining their
livelihood, and every effort is made 10 give
them an education 10 that end SO far as
the education of their children i'm the
science OF keeping proper accounts il con-
cerned the idea is d good one, as every young
man should have sufficient knowledge to
properly manage his own books, should he
ever embark in business, but to make book
keepers and clerks Of all our boys is grand
mistake. Better place them in q workshop,
mill or foundry, where they can learn inds-
pendent trades, which at all times win secufe
for them employment, and the pecuniary
compensation for which VIII be at least as
much, If not more, than the business DC ac-
counts. We earnestly advise all parents to
teach their sons trades, no matter what, SO
that it is an industrious pursuit, and let us
in the future be spared the pain Of seeing
so many stout ablebedied young men out Of
employment, and seeking situations where
the pen can only be used. There is dignity
IN labor, and an honest trade is the best leg
acy parent can bestow upon his child, for
1T viii seclre his bread wherel all else NAV
fail. We base our remarks upon the fact
that nearly one hundred applications from
young men were received by "a firm In our
city, who recently adYertisedin our columns
but twice for an assistant book keeper This
fact alone taken in connection with the WeIl
known scarcity of labor in the mechanical
branches of industry, speaks volumes i'm
condemnation of the popular error of max
ing book keepers out of all our boys.

PROTECTION.

A Growing feeling in favor of high pro-
tective tariff is evident in the tone Of our
Western exchanges. Numerous articles,
characterized by great ability appear in their
columns The Importance of diFersifying
our industry is conceded and two great points
are powerfully presented viz. first that the
farmer best serves his interests By encoura-
ging manufactures which furnish home
market and diminish competition in agricul-
tural pursuits; and second that the internal
revenues of the Federal Government being
chiefly derived from the manufacturing in
dustry of the country while real estate fur
nishes the basis of the taxation levied for
the support Of State and municipal purposes
it is vitally important to stimulate the for
mer and thus prevent the whole Indebtedness
from being thrown on the latter Tt would
be difficult if not impossible for nation ex-
clusively devoted to agriclture 10 maintain
our credit while by liberal encouragement
of our manufacturing and mining interests
it will be easy to defTay the annual interest
of our debt and to provide for the speedy
extinguishment of the principal A crafty
ing proof of the feeling OF some of the agri-
culturists of the vest is afforded By the
| following letter to the tariff Association of
Cleveland written by Hon. j. B. Grinnen,

thousand acres Of land and an extensive
grower of grain and stock sT5
1t gives me pleasure to say thatI concur
most fully with you in principles and policy.
A nearer market In the agricultural States
is always to be chosen in preference to for
eign one. The hope that our new States
will be manufacturing States is chimera, if
we do not foster and protect what manufac-
lures we have, / am for the highest duties

THE WIVES OF PoETs

The London 1elegraph says: There is a
book which never will be written-the Lives
OF the Wives of Poets-though it is a book
which all of us would be eager TO read
Should we learn that it is bad or good, well
or Ill, to know so much of these gifted ma
lures? When the applause is over. the
garland removed from the weary head the
string unstrung, and the eloquent lips cease
to enehant the world with melody. i there
only commonplace heart left for its right
ful owner? Or is not the leisure and the love
of these great natures something as much
above the ordinary experience Of human re
lationshfps as their thoughts and language?
Imagine the household presence of Shaks-
peare, his tireside talk, his inner life. the
unrobed existence Of a soul SO majestic and
masterfull 1t is hardly less than a solemn
thought to picture the partaking of such a
mind and heart as those which, to this day,
| sway millions with their genius, and have
planted their work amid other work like
mountains among monuments Yet what
do we know of it2 What can we know
| Think of Milton, with genius so rare, and
stately, and pure, that the lady in Conus,
white and serene among the brutal drinkers
and jewellers of the wood, is alone like it..
Think what it must have been, as human
| feminine destiny, to be charged with the
daily soiace and share of that soul, so lofty,
and sedate, and opulentI 1t is by accident
that these teachers and minstrels of men
mate, since sometimes, as with Milton, it is
Paradise Lost that they would describe
if they described at all the life that is lost.

Andersonyille-al will be synonymous with
cruelty, starvation, misery, and death Truly
civilization that can paliate such iniquity as
this rebellion has inaugurated and practised,
needs reform or eradication. 1t is civiliza-
ton apostatized civilization without the NOR
al forces of the age that elevate and enoble.
1t is Christianity without Christ. God has
brought us to see our national sins as we new
er saw them before. Our covenant with such
montrosity against humanity must be broken.
Because we have justified slavery under the
constitution, we are suffering Gods Judgment
Human rights underlie constitutions We are
told this evil is dead. Let us not be deceived.
1t only slumbers. Even loyal States refuse
to accept the logic of the war or the decisions
of Gods Providence. They stand back and
brace themselves against the march of events
New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware refuse
to ratify the anti-slavery amendment of the
Constitution. Clothed with the saddest woe
as we are to-day, this grief will sting their
future sons with shame because their fathers
were wallowing in the depths of the national
corruption. al the traitors North and South
will not justify the deeds this rebellion has
disclosed. We grant that the destruction of
the masses by yellow fever infection, and
elandestine burning of steamboats,, and cruel
