APPRENTICESHIP Under this head Horace


Greeley gives boys the following advice:
!'They say that apprenticeship is distasteful
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 educationY
would answer, Learn trade of good mas
ter. 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 young man to devote
three or four years to learning some respectable
trade, which will support him in after life, than
to waste his time and money in preparing to
enter the professions oflaw and medicine, which
are already over-crowded In the present state
of the country trade is certainty, and the
youth who wishes to raise himself to independ-
ence without burdening his friends or relatives
will certainly prefer good trade to the I'M
profitable title Of doctor or lawyer. There are
too many OF the practising lawyers and physicians
whose average incomes are not equal to that Of
sklltul mechanic, and many whose emoluments
will not pay current expenses Let no false
pride deter our young men from securing
prize In the lottery of life. IF they feel within
them aspirations for public life, still let them
acquire trade for that our future legislators.
in the State and national councils, will be taken
from the working classes, is as certain 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
q competent master. The latter will come by
the habit of daily labor and the determination
to acquire wealth and position by mans own
exertions-in word-to be selfnade man.
and it is such men that build up cities and COM
munities and make nations prosperous at home
and respected abroad.

SOUND ADVICE. New York Journal Of

SOUND ADvIcE-The New York Journal Of
Commerce, referring to the opinion expressed
in some southern journals that a long looked for
reaction in the public mind of the North has
commenced, says that its truthfulness depends
upon the abstinence of the southern people
from any course Of action or use of language
that can give ground Of suspicion in regard to
the genuineness of their professions of loyalty,
or that is capable of being perverted or miscon-
strued by reckless demagogues for purposes of
mischief" This is sound advice, coming from
true friend If it is universally needed by
southern journalists, they will reflect the true
spirit of the people, who are patient and pacific.
and will hasten the restoration of an era of good
feeling and the consequent resumption Of old
political relations. -BaEtimore San.

Having been urged by many of my fellow-ct-

wealth of Virginia, in this, her hour of humilia-
ton and trial, have reluctantly consented to be-
come candidate to represent the people of Au-
gusta, Albemarle and Louisa, in the mulatto con-
vention likely to be held in the city of Richmond.
In regard to my political views deem it nee
essary to say only, that regard the measure of
the rump Congress-under which this Conven-
ton is to be held (if held at all)-as tyrannical,
diabolical and utterly subversive of the princi-
Piles of free government; and, if elected, will
battle to the extent of my humble ability for the
interests and integrity of my bleeding and OPP
pressed countrymen, against the common enemy
of their liberties-radical whites, negroes and CO.
