TEACH Your Boy A TRADE.-An ar
ticle which VIC cut from one of our ex-
changes, referring to this subject, says
"Of 13,493 prisoners in thc-penitentia-
rics of thirty States in 1867, according to
the report of the prison association just
issued, II per cent, more than three quar-
ters, had not learned trade. Here is a
text from which DIR. Franklin should
have preached q torcible sermon on the
duty of parents. ~: p. y,ae
sTho time was when it was not thought
reputable for parents to leave their chill
dren without trades-unless they belong
cd to the class of gentry In France,
before the revolution, the ono Of lTS9,
this perverted sentiment Or instinct was
so strong that even the children of the
mobiles were in some cases taught light
handicraft, and when the storm of the
Reign of Terror came, and they were eX-
PEELED from their homes and deprived of
their fortunes, many of them subsistcd
by the trades they had amused themselves
with in moro prosperous days. 'V'''s
ga man who has good trade has an
independence. He has need only to be
honest and dilgcnt to secure compc-
tcnce. Bread and butter is sure for him
wherever he is. He is sure always of
higher wages than he who has no trade,
and if his genius and enterprise lead him
into somo other calling, it is always q
satisfaction to know that in case of mis-
fortune he can return to his trade. He
has that at any rate; his spcculations
may break. down, but he has an anchor
to leeward, as the sailors say; his subsis.
tence and that of his family is sure.
Sin this country, where fortunes quick:
ly gained arc also quickly lost, it is still
moro necessary and prudent that every
young man should learn q trade thor
oughly. No mans future is so secure
hero but that he would do wisely to have
his BOYS learn trade

The First Thousand Dollars.

The first thousand dollars that young
man, after going into the world to act fol
himself, earns and saves, will generally
settle the question of business life with
him. There may be exceptions to that
statement; yet, for rule, we think that
it will hold true.
The first condition is that the young
man actually earns the thousand dollars
in question He does not inherit this sum.
1t does not come by streak of good luck,
as the result of fortunate venture III the
purchase and sale OF hundred shares of
stock. 1t is the fruit of personal industry.
He gives his time and his labor for it,
While he is earning and saving it, he
must earn two or three, perhaps four times
as much, to pay his current expenses. He
is consequently held to the task of indus
try for considerable period. The direct
consequence to him is a steady, continuous
and solid discipline in the habit of indus
try, i'll patient, persistent forecast and
selfdenying effort, breaking up all the
tendencies to Incidence and frivolity, and
making him an earnest and watchfu econ
omist of time. He not only learns how
to work, but he also acquires the love of
work and moreover, he learns the value
of the sum which he has thus saved out
of his earnings. He has toiled for it; he
has observed it's slow increase from time
to time and, in his estimate, it represents
80 many months or years Of practical la!
Dor. His ideas of life are shaped by his
own experience.
1Nbo ,,.t,,oI o4,ootc &c oorp,pr,
thousand dollars we hold to be very large
benefits. They are just the qualities Of
mind and body which are most likely to
secure business success in after years.
They constitute the best practical educa-
tion which man can have as a worker in
this working world. They are gained in
season for llfe's purposes, at the opening
period, just when they are wanted, when
foolish notions are most likely to mislead
an inexperienced brain, and when, too,
there is full opportunity for their expan.
sion and development in later years. Men
have but one life to live; and hence they
start from opening manhood but once.
And the manner in which they start, the
purposes they have in view, and the hab
it's they form will ordinarily determine che
entire sequel of their career on earth. 70
succeed, men must have the elements of
success in themselves One great reason
why there are so many useless, inefficient,
and poverty-stricken men-or rather boys
seeming to be men-consists in the simple
fact that they did not start right. A
prominent reason why the children OF the
rich so frequently amount to nothing may
be found in the luxury, ease and Incidence
which marred the commencement of their
lives. Itis the law of God that we should
be workers on earth; and no one so we'll
consults the best development of his being
as when he conforms his practice to this
law. The workers in some suitable sphere
are the only strong people Exchange.

How TO. ASSIST THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.
The following sensible article is taken
from the Grcenvile Enterprise, and is
equally applicable to the readers of this
paper:
Whenever a citizen in our community
knows anything, that has not been made
public, which he thinks would interest
the people, he should go the Editor and
tell him all about it; if he chances to
meet him on the street, tell him there,
for nm Editor always has morbid desire
to know what is going on, being good
deal like the-c citizens of old Athens, who
were continually inquiring and telling the
news. Do not let the newspaper be tho
last 10 tell what's on tapis, for then it is
no longer news. 1t makes no difference
how busy or in what hurry newspaper
men are, they will always stop when you
can crafty this desire. and will listen pa
tcntly. The best way is TO write down
your reliable facts and scEd them to the
office, but every one has not the time to
do this. Just the other day, one of our
public men, coming in possession of facts
which he knew would be read with inter
est, sat down, took his pen and placed the
whole on paper, and if we had been pres
ent at the writing, he could not have an
swcred inquiries we would have made
moro completely and satisfactorily: in
decd, everything in connection with the
matter was concisely told. 1t reached
the printing Office about the time the pa.
per was making up, but we delayed and
set up column additional, and sent
it out with it's interest largely increased.
The same article was copied in full by
the Columbia and Charleston papers, as
it was fresh. Of course, the very first
opportunity We had Of seeing this gen
tleman, We heartily thanked him tor his
kindness, and thought how much more
redable could we make the Enterprise
were all of our intelligent mon to follow
this example. In lecture delivered in
the Court House several months since, by
General Hill, he very aptly remarked
we will give his own words if we can re-
call thcm-"Watch that man that loves
his neighbor's wife better than his own
or his neighbours children better than his
own; or his neighbors home better than
his own, or who loves other institutions
better than his own" The latter is the
applicable point. Sustain and build up
your own institutions in preference to all
others. Every one can help materially in
building up our journal, by furnishing i'm
portant, reliable and fresh news matter,
and hope all will bear it in mind.

REMARKS.

REMARKS. g
The Statement given the Colonial Council Of
st. Croix Immigrationfund's Revenue and Ex-
penditure and showing the notifications in its
Status during the period from the goth of April
1865 to 31st March 1869, together with the
Preparatory Statement, which accompanied it,
showing the state of the Fund from LIST April
1869 to 31st March 1870, will afford the neces-
sary information with reference to the above
stated Items of Revenue A. l, 2 and 3, and to
the Items of Expenditure B.. L. l, 2, 8, 4 and
B. II. l.
With respect to the Item of Revenue A 4,
reference is here made to the statements given
by the Government in the Colonial Councils
meetings of 18th March last year (the printed
Report for 1869 p. 7-9) and goth December
same year (Report 1869 p. 1882. Notwith-
standing the difficulties that have hitherto arts
en- in collecting the amounts due to the Immi-
grationfund in repayment of previous subsidy
for importing IabOrers, it is expected, however,
that an amount Of $500 will be collected in the
course of this year.
With respect to the Item of Expenditure b.
II. 9. the Government would remark, that asst
is desirable that the immigration of foreign la
bOrers which in the latter years has taken
place here should not stop on account of the
want of assistance from the pablo funds, the
Government has taken under consideration in
what manner the regulation which, according to
the communication to the Colonial Council ia
meeting of goth December last year, has been
given regarding the reduction of the subsidy
hitherto according to Governments letter of
4th September 1869 given to planters impor-
ting for their own account feldlaborers whom
the immigration Committee deem perfectly fit
for work, namely to 50 pr. adult-Iaborer (above
IA years of age) and 81 for a non-adult Che
tween u and IA years., could be altered, 50
that without causing any actual expense for the
Immigrationfund land the financial state of the
fund allows of no such e~xpense), some aSsis-
lance could thereby be rendered to the object
in view. In this respect the Government pro-
poses that the principle hitherto followed, viz.
, 1870-07-01
S 6,933. 60.

that the Immigrationfund betrayed a su bsidy in
aid of importation of laborers from foreign Yves
india Islands as a sort of contribution a portion
of which was intended to be refunded if the
immigrant remainedin the Island longer than
l year, but the remaining portion was not to be
refunded,-be altered thus for the future the aid
from the Immigrationtund to be given as ad-
vances to the respective planters defraying the
expenses for the introduction of the laborers,
and to be fix 4 pr. adult laborer (above
Ia years of age Md So pr. non-adult between
IL and IA years. such advances to be given
free Of interest for | year after the date they
were paid out, but on the expiration of that
term to be repaid to the Immigrationfund, ire
s%pectiye as to whether the immigrant has re-
NAMED in the Island, or not and if considered
necessary security may be asked for such ad-
vanCeS, according to the circumstances. AS
regards the obligation to which parties engag-
ing or retaining such a labOrer in his service for
or during the End or Bird year, are subject, viz
to pay into the Immigrationfund one fourth part
of all the expenses attending the immigrants
Introduction in the Island, it is a matter of
course that the enactments on that head in the
Ordinance of 2nd July 1866 will remain in force
$50 that the maximum of every such payment
continues to be Sc for an adult immigrant and
81 for a non adult ;-but when the Immigration
fund has been repaid the advance given the
first Employer, the amounts paid by the End or
the Bird employer will be handed over to the
LIST employer.
The case was postponed till the next meet
ing, within which time the Balance Sheet and
the Estimate will be Autographed and forward
ed to the members.
