Advice TO Young Mechanics.

In referring to the growing inclination on
the part of young men, after they have
served long and hard appr. ntceships
to acquire good trade, to abandon this
mode OF making living and to enter the
legal or medical profession. where it is sup
poseo greater emoluments can be sucured
ana larger honors won, a contemporary we'll
observes that in nineteen cases out of twenty
snch ventures are failures, for two reasons:
First, the professions require peculiar talent
ana the most thorough education. As n
rule, apprentices to the trades have neither
the time nor the means to acquire this edu
catlon. Hence, when a mechanic at the end
OF his apprenticeship aspires to and enters
any one OF the professions, he does so at n
great disadvantage. He may he fluent
speaker, know how to argue a point in n
debating society or harangue a crowd st a
ward meeting, but such talents do not fit
hin for the legal profession. He may know
how to extract splinter ffu.n his own
hand, how to make salve, how to mix a
powder or administer u pill, but all this,
while it might qualify him as a good nurse,
does not fit him for the medical profession
The fact is, thief young men who abandon
their trades are tempted to do 81 by feeling
of false pride, erroneousv imagining there
is no honor to be secured in II pursuit of the
mechanical arts. History proves the faliacy
of such suppositions.
The brightest names which now adoTn
the annals of all countries are of the best
mechanics who have blessed mankind with
the productions of their genius. AL that is
beautiful and grand is the result of i'm
provement in mechanics. The pendulum.
The main spring, the barometer, thermome
ter, printing press, steam engine. locumn
tive, sewing machine. telescope-all, all are
the result of mechanics arts. making thnsr
famous who produce them, and the people
great who adopted them.
A good mechanic who becomes pcttifog
ger or quack merely because he is too proud
TO work at his trade, is, indeed, piriful OBJ
| iect. A man of the right mental balance,
who has proper mental form, with the ne
| cessary independence, will win as much
honor and rs fair living in the trades as
in the profession indeed, an Indifferent
| lawyer or dncter lacking briefs or patients
is always a miserable hring. bad example
in the community. Let our yonng me-
rhanics, then, become ambitions in their
own vocation. If they dignity their trades
| by becoming proficient therein, the trades
will dignity them with the highest honors
II mechanics pursue their business with
a purpose to self improvement therein. and
not merely to hammer and file and saw, hut
to improve the art, to develop something
new therein. the mind will he strengthened
Ms the arm becomes muscular, and the
! heart of the mechanic will he made to swell
with AS true pride as ever glowed beneath
the doublet of prince. will the young
| mechanic think Of these truths

all shades of opinion.
From the Boston Transcript
Hon Henry Wilson is in Boston to-day,
having accompanied his family home from
Washington. He takes his defeat for the
Vice Presidency quite pnilosophically, as he
thinks men are of small account when COM
pared with the success of a great cause.
He is much pleased with the platform
adopted at Chicago, and speaks in the high
est terms of Mr.. Colfax, as a gentleman of
deserved popularity, and pure and stainless
life No man, Mr.. Wilson thinks, could be
named who would bring greater strength to
the ticket. The Senator expressed to day
the opinion he has held and often expressed
during the past seven months, that the
Republicans will carry three fourths Of the
States at the Presidential election, and have
nearly if not quite hundred majority in
the next House of Representative.

is to be tolerated, but such a complete
transformation OF character, from the mail
ed champion of constitutional liberty, to
the miserable masked gorgon Of conspiracy,
can only be accounted for by birthright of
weakness, and manhood of treachery,
where self prefermeut or gold is a more
powerful monitor than conscience.
But to none Of these recreant Senators
fall so great a share of odium as to Fowler
of Tennessee. The only hope of loyal
sovereign State
Patterson is weak syeophautic parasite,
and is sold to the Executive, but Fowler
is man above personal interests, a sound
constitutional lawyer, and We know he is
all right.
But when the scale of human rights hung

Tennessee? Guilty or not guilty Fowler
ais also, miserable parasite, selling his
State for less than gold. But the end is

NeJUs- Congratulations to the Nominees.
NEW YORK, May 22-The .Sua says the
Chicago ticket is a strong one, and will re-
ceive the enthusiastic support of the Re
publican party.
The Times, while generally approving of
the platform, thinks, as a matter Of policy,
not less than propriety, that the whole
subject Of impeachment should have been
eyaded.
The Herald says the platform is work of
some ingenuity Like an old campagner
the Convention moves with a bold step
where the ground is found, but treads
cautiously and gingerly over the boggy
places.
The Commercial supports the ticket, re-
garding 1t as insuring victory IN advance,
and expresses qualification over the defeat
of Fenton. 1t condemns the second and
eighth section of the platform, and cordial
ly approves of the balance thereof.
The Post eulogises the ticket, and says
that theTesolutions, whatever faults minute
criticism might detect in the language or in
the form of some of them, are, as whole,
an explicit snd satisfactory declaration of
the general sense Of justice as applied to the
living questions Of the day.
The Horld says the ticket would have
been strong one FIVE months ago, as it is
completely western and wholly Radical,
Grant is without a popular equal, but, a
successful military career covers a multitude
of defects Colfax is perhaps the most popu-
lar man in his party On the whole the
ticket Is not strong one.
The Tribune predicts Grants electoral
and popular majorities viii exceed those of
Lincoln over Mcclellan. He will receive
more votes from reconstructed rebels than
any other man in the country. Under the
auspices of Grant and Colfax our country is
to achieve speedy restoration to its former
fraternity.
