monopolize trade but they run the workshops of the
world to large extent. Go into all the foundries,
coieries railroad shops and other factories, in the
United States and ten to but the foremen and many
of the directors of most of these are English or
Scotch.
Ireland, on the other hand, bankrupt and plundered
as she is, with arstocracy proud they are poor
and heaven knows that is forcibe illustration Of
poverty as we can gve-ooks with sublime contempt on
trade Not only this the feeling of the aristocracy
but of nneenths of the people Squires bailifs rack
rented farmers and along down to the hucksters who
sell cookies in the streets of Dublin all have super
sttious dread of trade Anything but send their sons

families, who have become reduced beggary is " thank
God, though may beg the honor of the family has
never been disgraced by having tradesman" Add to

wood and the drawers of water to others. Why we
carry the bod, instead of laying the brick Why dig

extent persist in wrapping themselves up in many of
their old preudices, in this country of labor"
and in sending their to any sort of business rather

of training, SO long will they be rewarded by having
their tradeless grow up into fashionable oafers
confidence men, pickpockets etc. ending their lives in
States prisons.
We call readers attention to the following scrap
from the history of of the leading of America.

that brought him to what he is.
THE BEST EDUcAT1oN-They say that apprenticeship is
dstastefu to and of fashion with the boys of days;
if regret it for their sakes To the youth who asks,
GLOW shall obtain education ~ would answer, Learn
trade of good MASTER" I hold firmly that boys may
thus better acquire the knowledge they need than by spend

IF our people only consulted their childrens welfare
instead of their prejudces they would see at
