CHOICE OF A BUSINESS.

Labor is the lot of man in this world,
1t may be toll of the mind or a combi-
nation of both, but in one form or
another man must live by exertion and
industry. The number is small of
those who are born to property or who
inherit wealth sufficient to raise them
above the necessity of working for their
livelihood. A young mans calling or
occupation in life is determined by a
great variety of circumstances. Some
times there is very little room for
choice. For example son may succeed
to business made by the industry or
skill of a father, or thu assistance of re-
latives or the patronage of friends may
direct to particular path in life. But
we are supposlng youth without any
ofthese special advantages having his
own way to make in the world and with
nothing but his own talents, strength,
and industry, to depend on. In this
case there are many tnings to be taken
into account. There is the bodily health
and constitution. There is the mental
capacity and education. There is
natural inclination and acquired taste
and other qualifications of personal
kind. 1t is a fatal mistake when a
youth either by his own choice, or by
the advice of guardians,or parents enters
into an occupation for which he is by
nature, or by circumstances untitled.
Yet this is mistake constantly occur
ring, and atten ed with the miserable
consequences, strength, health, con-
stitution of mind, as we'll as of body,
inclination, taste, social position, and
moral infuer ce ought, all more or less,
to be taken iuto account in determining
the choice.
The choice should not be made too
early, Both in town and country the
hard requirements Of poverty compel
many youth of tender years to begin
betimes to earn their daily bread.
We have nothing to say where neces-
sity for this exists, and boy of right
feeling will gladly submit to toll, .or give
up prospects that he might have after
better schooling =, by his early eyertion
he can make the burden lighter for his
parents and bring his share to the family
resources. In some trades it is also
necessary for the apprenticeship to
begin early. But where there is no
compulsion to remove a youth from
home, and from school, it is both I'M
wise and unfair to hurry him into the
business of life. If a boy is idle or mis-
chievous or likely to be spoiled by an
indulgent mother, or led into evil by
bad companions, the case becomes diff
ferent. The sooner he is set to work
the better. We are supposing now,
however, a boy of average abilities and
disposition with will as well as oppor-
tunities of improvement, both bodily
and mental.
Another point we present for the
consideration of parents previous to the
choice being made. What is the object
chiefly in view ? lift were merely how
to get livelihood, tho question would
be much simplfied. There are parents
perfectly Indifferent to tho mode in
which their children are to make their
way in the world by fair means or foul,
honorable or dishonorable, To such we

NAPOLEON AND HIS REFORMS

The late elections gave full proof of
the fact that France was no longer con-
tented with imperialism. The result
of the elections condemned the one-man
government. Napoleon has shown
that he knows when and now to yield.
lie has stopped, but in stopping he has
not left the world in doubt whether he
means to conquer. AS we have said
more than once already, Napoleon has
made large concessions, but he has
taken good care not to allow the reins
to slip from his fingers. lie is still mas
ter OF the situation, and he means to
remain master. The proroguing of the
Corps Legislatiff was most skilful
move We must wait until the Cham
bers meet before we commit ourselves
to any opinion as to the result of the
reforms. 1t is safe, however. to say
that Napoleonisn is row fairly in the
balances. A little while only and we
shall know whether it is found want
ing.

Bga- We learn that gentleman from
New York, connected with the land
agency business, arrived in this city
yesterday, and in conversation with
several Of our citizens who came passens
gers on the same boat with him, he ex-
pressed his conviction that at least
twenty-th )ugand people from the State
of New York will emigrate to this State
during this fall and winter, who will
mostly settle in the neighborhood oil
Norfolk. This gentleman spoke of the
universal desire of many of the inhabi-
tants of York State to emigrate to Vir-
ginia, to get rid of their cold climate,
the extreme rigor of their winters bel no
such as almost to prevent life being a
source of pleasure to the inhabitants,
They wish to find climate more con-
genial to their natures, which they
know exists In Virginia, and as slavery
is now removed it is the determination
| of many who are able to come to this

are not addressing ourselves. In law
full and homes pursuits there are still
many motives more or less reputable by
which a choice may be influenced. The
two most general considerations super
added to the expectation of gaining a
livelihood, are the acquisition of wealth
and social distinction. Both of these
are legitimate objects, and honorable
when fairly pursued, and not carried TO
excess.

Bgs The revolution seems not only
to lift its head, but also to strike with
It's hands in Spain, at last. The tele-
graph reports five thousand insurgents
under arms, railroad seized by them,
and all action fought, in which the
Government does not appear to have
been victorious The Government APP
parently believes the case serious, for it
has declared martial law, and Serano
will now try to carry out his threat to
put down disorder with a heavy and
even cruel hand. The Cuban revolu-
tionists will gain renewed courage from
this Spanish news; for they depend for
their success, it is not concealed, on dis
order in Slnain, which, they hnPo, VIII
prevent the Government from sending
more troops to Cuba.
