M. Editor II know not how can bet
ter show my philanthropy and do my duty
to my friends and the public, than to give
them my opinion concerning the danger
Gus use of kerosene to illuminate our
dwellings. 1t cannot be successfully deni-
cd that two-thirds Of the fires that destroy
life and property are caused by tho break
ing and exploding of Kerosene lamps.
scarcely newspaper meets ourcyo where
in there is not recorded some fatal accident
caused by this dangerous aaticle, and it
would shock many peoples feelings who
use il with careless Indifference TO see at
one glance the vast amount of human life
and property destroyed by its use. The
public has had line upon line and precent
upon precept. and seen many accounts of
the disastrous effects of this destructive ar
ticle, yet they persist in using it, The use
of the dangerous article known by the
name of nitro-g lycerine-formerly used as
an agent for blasting in the Ioosac tunnel
has, on account of its dangerous use
been abandoned, although a far lLss num-
Der Of accidents have occurred by its use
than from kerosene. There are doubtless
many articles which will afford as brilliant
light, which might be substituted, and
the destruction of human life avoided. 1t
will relieve me of an almost insupportable
burden if you will insert the above eau
ton, and /, as a humble individual, shall
have the supreme satisfaction to realize 1

FIFTY YEARS SINCE.

The New York Mirror contains an es-
say on the manners and customs fifty
years since, which is full of admonition TIA
the present generation. Fifty years make
great change, not only in the condition
Of an individual, but in the habits and
principles of society. We make an ex-
tract for the benefit of our readers, male
and female. The writer says.
when Washington was President, his
wife knit stockings in philadelphia, and
the mother made doughDuts and cakes
between Christmas and New Years
now the married ladies are too proud 10
make doughnuts, besides they don't know
how, SO they even send to Madame Pom
quaGor, or some other French cake baker,
aud buy sponge cake for three dollars n
pound In those days, New York was
full of substantial comforts now ii is full
of splendid misery then there were nn
gray-headed spinsiers, (unless they were
ugly indeed, for man could get married
for dollar, and begin house keeping for
twenty, aud in washing his clothes and
cooking his victuals, the wife saved more
money than it took to support her.
Now, | have known minister to get
five hund, ed dollars for bucklng couple.
then wine, cake ana ct ceteras, FIVE huns
dred more--wedding clothes and jewelry,
a thousand and-six or seven hundred in
driving to the springs or some deserted
mountains, then house must be got for
eight hundred dollars per annum, and fur
nished at an expense of two or three thou
sand-and when ii is all done, his pretty
wife can neither make a cake or put an
apple in a dumping. Then cook must
be got at ten dollars per month-cham-
bermaid, laundress, and seamstress at
seven dollars each, and as the fashionable
folhes of the day have banished the'mis-
tress from the kitchen-thus lighting the
candle at both ends, it soon burns out.
Poverty comes in at the door and drives
love out at the window 1t is this stupid
and expensive nonsense which deters su
many unhappy old bachelors from enter
ing the state of blesscdness hence you
find more deaths than marriages"

A H.1NrrD R,uroAD-A Boston

A HAUNTED RAUROAD A Boston
paper publishes the following story !:
1.-The engineer on freight train on
the Boston & Lowell Railroad, which
leaves Boston about 8 O'Clock in the morn
ing, has on several occasions discovered
red light, swinging at a furious rate at
the Woburn station, where the train stops
for water. The light would sometimes
be in front and sometimes in the rear of
the train When the engineer would stop
his train and send some one to see why
the signal to stop was m ade, the mesSen-
ger would be surprised to see the light
vanish. Investigation has proven that no
person was there with a lantern, and the
brakeman and conductor concur also in
having beheld the phenomenon, which, so
far as known, is without visible cause
Some laborers living on the line of the
above station state that few mornings
since they were coming down the road in
81 hand-car, when they suddenly heard the
approach of an engine and train, and
knowing that no train was due In that
vicinity at that hour, they became greatly
frightened, and jumping out OF the car,
threw it off the track TO await the train
which was coming at rapid pace upon
them, but which, it is needless to say, did
not come. The superstitious regard the
affair as forewarning of some disaster,
while the spiritualists have the ready the
ory that it is the spirit Of man killed
there about two years since

IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING a Trade
Why is it that there is such rePugnance
on the part of parents to putting their sons
to a trade a skilled mechanic is an in
dependant man. Go where he will, bis
craft viii bring him support lie need
ask favors of none. He has, literally,
his fortune in his own hands. Yet foolish
parents, ambitious that their sons should
rise in the WORLD" as they say, are more
willing that they should study for pro-
fession, with the chances of even moderate
success heavily against them, or run the
risk of spending their manhood in the ig-
noble task Of retailing y-goOds or Of toll
ing laboriously at the accountants desk,
than learn trade which would bring them
manly strength, health, aud independence.
In point of fact, the method they choose
is Tie one least likely TO achieve the ad-
vancement aimed al Cor the supply Of
candidates for The positions as ''erranI
boys" dry goods clerks, and kindred uc-
equations, is VIGOROUSLY Uycr-stUcke I'd,
while, on the other hand, the demand for
really skilled mechanics, Of every desrrip-
tion, is as notoriously beyond the supply
The crying need of this country to-day is
for skilled labor and that father who
nesleets to provide his son with uset,i
trade, and sees that he thoroughly masters
it, does him grievous wrong, and runs tho
risk of helping, by 50 much, to increase
the stock of idle and dependant, if rot viz
cious, members OF society.
Ii is stated IN the report Of the Prison
Association, lately issued. that of four
teen thousand five hundred and ninety>six
prisoners confined in the penitent'ailes vf
thirty States, III 1867, seventy seven per
cent, OF over ten thousand of the numDr',
had never learned a trade. The fact con-
vcys lesson of profound interest 20 those
who have in charge the training of bOyr,
aud girls too, for the active duties of life.
