The Importance ef Learning a
TrSde.

Why is it that there is such a repug-
nance by parents to putting their sons to
a trade? A skilled mechanic is an irde-
pendant man. Go where he will, his craft
will bring him support. He need ask IA
vors of none. He has literally his for
tune In his own hands. Yet foolish pa
transformations that their sons should
''rise in the world" as they say-are mere
willing that they should study for a pre-
~fession, with the chances of even moder-
ate success heavily against them, or run
the risk of spending their manhood in the
ignoble task of retailing dry goods, or OF
toiling laboriously at the accountants
desk, than learn a trade which will bring
them manly strength, health and indepen-
denee. In point of fact, the method they
choose is the one least likely to achieve the
advancement aimed at for the supply of
candidates for positions of ''errand boys"
dry goods clerks, and kindred occupations
is VIGOROUSLY overstocked while on the
other hand, the demand for really skilled
mechanics of every description, is as no.
toriously beyond the supply. The crying
need of the country to-day is for skilled
labor and that father who neglects to
provide his son with a useful trade, and 10
see that he thoroughly masters It, does
him a grievous wrong and runs the RISK
of helping, by SO much, to ~increse the stock
of idle and dependent, if not vicisus; mem
bers Of society. 1t is stated IN, the re-
port Of the Prison Association, lately Issu-
ed. that of fourteen thousand five .
dred and ninety-six prisoners confni q IN

prolonged beyond the usual lot of our race,
was borne to the tomb amid the tears OF
the multitude, and with crowned heads
bent in reverence. Each perhaps acquir-
ed, as fully as is given to man, the objects
he sought for ; one, the power with which
he moulded empires to his will, and all
the trophies of a conqnrer the other seek
ing humbly to contribute to the worlds
fund of knowledge, raised himself to the
rank of its noblest benefactors, and to
him Fame came unsought. Fair Science
responded to devoted wooing, and while
with n hand she cast her priceless trea-
sures at his feet, with the other she laid
upon his brow q chaplet of fadeless %laurels.
1t is not our purpose to contrast these
lives. They are before the world the
founder of the empire-the author of
Cosmos. The hundreth anniversary of
the birthday of Napoleon has come-and
and gone-unnoticed while Europe and
America vie to-day in harmonious rivalry,
which shall most 6tly celebrate the birth
day of Humboldt. What words could
frame a more striking commentary?
We look with grateful hearts on this
evidence of progress. We Judge of indi-
viduals of nations, and Of eras by not
knowing what they admire and those who
prate Of retrogression, who find the world
of to-day worse than that Of yesterday,
must stand confuted at this exhibition of
its reverence for the type of man repre-
sented by Humboldt.
The day is over when we can manifest
our respect for such men by so many Gu
bic feet of useless granite piled up and
inscribed with their names. Welcome the
busts, and floral wreaths, and joyous ami
versary festivities. Welcome more the
project of a Humboldt Observatory for
st. Louis. An Observatory, in as broad
a sense of the word as that in which he
was an Observer, in which the species and
genera of every kingdom of nature may
be represented, and the phenomena of ev-
cry natural force e%xpounded. Such an
institution, bearing his name, and sending
forth a perpetual food of intellectual light,
would sbe his fitting monument.-Jour-
nat Of Educdtion.
