PRINCES LEARNING A TRADE.-The
sons of rich parents in America are of
ten urged to learn some trade, both as q
good discipline and education. and as a
possible means of earning an honest
living in case of reverse of fortune,
which is likely to come to any one. A
man who has good trade is master of
himself. and has acquired self-depend-
ence of character which will be exceed
ingly valuable to him in any situation
in life. Besides this he would know
one thing practically and thoroughly,
and the influence of such knowledge
cannot be oyerestimated. But learning
IA trade is not fashionable, and boy
would have to encounter great deal of
social opposition who attempted it in a
republic. There is different standard
in Germany. None of the princes are
brought up idly. Prince Henry, son Of
the Prince imperial, "Our Fritz" who
won such credit in the late war, has
been apprenticed to Berlin bookbinder.
His father was printer and his grand
father. the Emperor, was a glazier.-
The latter seems to have initiated, in his
recent campaign, the London glazier
who went about breaking windows for
the benefit of the trade.

LEARNING TO CoNvEBsE.-Despise not
tn, day of little things, rs many fantas-
tic persons pretend to do. Consider
that there are many things in daily
practice of no use or significance in
themselves, except insomuch as they
prepare us for things beyond them
And this is one. If you are stiff of limb.
and your dancing-master should recon-
mend you to supply yourself by course
of gymnastic exercises, you would prob
ably say nothing in objection; or if your
fencing-master should tell you that he
could do nothing for you in this art,
unless you first acquire a degree of
steadfastness, and self-command. and
pliability, by use of the lunging practice
for half an hour every day. you would
do it at once, Now, only weigh the
accomplishments one against the other.
Few people dance SO often as once a
wee and if they fence, the chances are
that it is ,till less frequently. Whereas,
in regard of language, We are talking
animals; and. as Cicero says. it is a
shame that we should not be studious
to excel in that one quality whence We
have our humap pre-eminence, our do
minion over beasts; but so it is, that the
noblest faculty, and the only one where
in the mos, might be done by care, we are
too apt to fancy that We may leave it to
itself, and that it will come, as it were
by chance.

ANOTHER SCIENTIST ON SPIRTUALIsM -
The celebrated London lawyer, Ed. W.
Cox, who was witness with Doctor
Crookes, of the so-called spiritual mani
festations, to which allusion was made,
with illustrations, in the Press q few
months since, has lately published a
pamphlet. in which he says he has be-
come fully satisfied that intelligent
noises or rappings are actually produced
in what are called spiritual manifesto
tions." and that chairs, tables and other
objects are undoubtedly moved, and
the proofs of the reality of these dem
onstrations are just as absolute as are
the proofs of any other class of facts in
nature.
The force by which these demonstra-
tions are made, be calls psychic force, 2"
as also denominated by Prof. Crookes.
Mr.. Cox thinks the fact indicative of
the existence of soul within man. and
it is the soul which he thinks may exer-
else psychic force beyond the body. He
rejects the idea that the manifestations
are produced by the agency of disen,bo-
died spirits and holds that they are
pnrely and wholly the result of forces
residing in the human erganizm. The
medium is never able to communicate
anything that is not already known to
.some person present.
This psychic force, Mr.. Cox think
operates by yibrstpry OF wnve like ae-

We envy neither the men or women
who cannot speak to a fellow-creature
out of their own circle, not to anybody
without the formality of an introduction.
There is no computing the amount of
profit and pleasure such persons use by
hedging themselves III with this stupid
fence of f.stidiousness. We have al
ways found more of this feeling among
persons who were touchy on their social
position. than among those self-respect-
ing persons who thought nothing about
it. A great deal of intelligence is float
ing round the world without being la
bled. and those men or women who
have the good sense to recognize this
fact and act upon it, not only are educa-
ting themselves, but confer that pleas
ure which we are all bound by the COM
mon ties Of humanity to exchange with
each other. 1t seems to US thatitis only
the snob and pretender who takes a
different view of this question.

The WORDS We UsE.--It has been cal
culated that our language, including the
nomenclature of the arts and sciences,
contains LOO. 600 words; yet of this i'm
mense number it is surprising how few
are in common use. To the great ma
jority, even of educated men, three
fourths of these words are as unfamiliar
as CIR ek ar Hebrew. Strike from the
lexicon all the words that are nearly OBJ
solete--all the words of special ar:s Or
professions-all the words confined i'll
their usage to particular localities
the words which even the educated
speaker uses in homeopathic doses--and
it is astonishing into what Lilliputian
volume your Brobdognagian Webster or
Walker will hrve shrunk 1t has been
calculated that child uses only about
oDe hundred words; and unless he be-
longs to the educated classes he will
never employ more than three or four
hundred.
A distinguished scholar estimated that
few speakers or writers use as many as
ten thousands words; ordinary persons
of fair intelligence, not over four thous-
and. Even the great orator who is able
to bring into tue field, in the war of
words, half the vast array of light and
heavy troops which the vocabulary af-
fords. yet contents himself with far
less imposing display of verbal force
Even all-knowing Milton. whose wealth
seems amazing, and whom DR. johnson
charges with using "a Babylonian dia-
lect," uses only eight thousand, and
Shakespeare himself, "the myriad mind
ed" only fifteen thousand. These facts
show that the difficulty of mastering the
vocabulary of the new tongue is greatly
overrated and they show, too. how ah-
surd is the boast of every new diction-
ary maker that his vocabulary contains
so many thousand wurds more than
tn Sc of his predecessors.

PRoPHEsIEs.-An Astrological prophe.
cy for 1872, published in 1871, predicts
as follows:
"The relative positions of the great
planets. Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus, to-
wards the close of May, 1872, seem tos
portend evil to America, probably visi-
tation from some virulent epidemic.
and perhaps domestic discord. The
probabilities, however, are that the
trouble, whatever it may be, will not be
of long duration. AS the opinion is en-
tertained by many persons that the
Presidential election in November will
be marked with violence and. bloodshed,
it is proper to state that the stars do not
foreshadow any such disastrous disturb
auces of the public peace. In fact, the
celestial signs for the month Of Novem-
Der, are especially favorable to this
country. The mooa near the Tenth,
Cnsp, on the 18th of November, Cienotes
public quiet throughout the Union, and
the acquiescenee of all parties in the
decision of the majority. Nevertheless,
about this time, there appears to be
some misfortune impeding over per
son occupying very prominent posi-
ton in the public service. The siderias
indications are somewhat confused, and.
afford no positive clue to the indiyi luai
menaced. or to the nature. of the threat
eped evil. Possibly the President may,
be the parsonage at whom te finger Of
destiny points, but this is by no means
