PAYING IN ADvANcE.-A soldier of the
West during the late war, being off duty,
was engaged by landlord to dig a patch Of
potatoes, on condition that he should be
furnished with bottle of whisky to begin
with.
The landlord accordingly took him to the
field, showed him the patch, and left him a
full bottle of his favorite beverage
About an hour afterward, the landlord
went to see how the son Of Mars progressed
in the business of farming. He found him
holding on to an old stump, unable to stand
without it, his bottle lying empty at his feet,
and no potatoes dug. Being quite exasperat-
ed, the landlord exclaimed:
"Hallo! you scoundrel! Is this the way
you dig potatoes for me?"
"Ha!" said the soldier, tapping out his
tongue, staggering half round, squirting and
hiccoughipg, eff you want your potatoes dug
fetch EN-, for TIL be hanged If Pm going to
run round the lot after 'em."

APPRENTICESHIP. this head Hor-
ace Greeley gives boys the following good
advice:
"They say that apprenticeship is distaste-
full to and out Of fashion with the boys of to-
day IF so, [ regret it for their sakes To
the youth who asks, How shall [ obtain an
education 2 l would answer, Learn trade
of a good MASTER I hold firmly that most
boys may thus better acquire the knowledge
they need than by spending four years in
college,"
1t is much better for a young man to de-
vote three or four years to learning some re-
spectacle trade: which will support him in af-
ter life, than to waste his time and money in
preparing to enter the professions of law and
medicine, which are already ovcrcrowded.
In the present state of the country trade is
certainty, and the youth who wishes to
raise himselfto independence without burden
Ing his friends or relatives, will certainly per-
Ter good trade to the Improbable title of
doctor or lawyer There are too many of the
lr. ct!sing lawyers and physic ans whose aver-
age incomes are not equal to that of skill
full mechanic, and many whose emoluments
will not pay current expenses. Let no false
pride defer our young men from securing a
ps.z' in the Lottery of life. If they feel within
them aspirations for public life,, still let them
acquire trade; for that our future legisa-
tors, in the State and national councils, will
be taken from the working classes, is as GER
tain as that the sun will rise tomorrow
Skill and energy will command success in
trade; the former is only to be acquired by
constant practice under a competent master.
The latter will come by the habit of daily
labor and the determination to acquire wealth
and position by a mans own exertions-in a
word-to be a seIfmade man, and it is such
men than build up cities and communities,
and make nations prosperous at home and re-
spectcd abroad.
