We extract the following judicious and
sensible article from an able Texas paper,
the Houston Telegraph;
An esteemed young friend has written
us for advice as to his making the pro-
fession Of law his life calling, and while
answering him we may also make sugges-
tions that will he valuable to other young
men, as well as to their parents, and
therefore we give our answer through
the Telegraph.
Much evil has been produced in this
world by the pride of parents, guardians
and families. 1t has been far too much
the case that one boy is selected TO be
a lawyer, another doctor, another a
merchant, and still another a preacher,
if there be so many in the same family.
The law and medicine are the most pop
ular, and large number of families con
sign at least one son to one of these pro
fessions.
Ninety-nine out of every hundred mer
chants who have embarked in busine in
New York have failed, and the same fig
ures might be applied truthfully to some
other classes. The Philosophers stone
has never been discovered. and perhaps
never will be, but it would be as easy tc
do it rs to make a great success out of q
young man who embarks in any one ol
these callings without being fitted by
taste and capacity fo- 4.
He must love it,
He must have the very capacity nee
essary to u great success. He must have
an energy which flags at no obstacles, q
perseverance which persues victory ashi'
end and aim, without turn from his
purpose. He must not be satisfied to
have a license, diploma or store asc
then conclude ia: bis wcrx Is done
His toll has bat just commenced, and on
ward he must move with slow and meas
ured steps until the goal is reached, ex
pecting to find very many rebufIs dds
couragements by the way. lie must moi
suppose that he cancease to study his pro
fession because he has commenced its prac
tice, but he must read and re-read all OF
his life to attain TO great success.
A mere case lawyer, doctor or preacher
is not fit for his position. A mere rou
tine merchant never succeeds greatly.
Ii is because of the violation of these
requisites coupled with incompetency,
thai the world is full of quacks and that
so few attain 10 great celebrity.
Parents and families would do far more
for the world and the boys if they would
regard these teaching. Ii would be bet
ter for them to be mechanics or farmer
than to choose callings for which they ar,
untitled by taste and capacity.
Look at the legal profession and SET
how few take rank in it. The medical
is just as bad. and the pulpit is no better
served. while the mercantile class give
its failures eyey day in the year.
II is high time that the people should
wake upon this important matter.
Ifyour Son shows a taste for any call
ing, let him follow ID, for taste and capae
ity, as general rule, are joined in th,
person. and he will likely, with proper
energy, become distinguished.

REVUE DE LA MODE.

From the cycles Of the Past, old Time
revivcs many strange and weird fashions,
and the most obsolete We can mention, Is
that of muslin tapestry naDging, which
tradition tells us draped the walls even
of Kings and Queens. Happy idea for
indolent young ladies to ply their needles
and bring forth marvellous specimens Of
handy workmanship in lieu of willing
away God-given time perusing modern
nopelettes.
For Spring it is predicted all shades of
blue, from the bright turquoise to the
lophophose or greenish blue, will be the
prevailing color. All the quaint winter
shades will be reproduced, but in lighter
and more appropriate tinting for spring.
Perrcnche, or dark purple shades, is a
new importation principally IN heavy
repped goods. Another old fashion to
be revived are polka dots; they are to be
scattered profusely over all kinds of dress
materials. Occasionally we will find
squares, crescents, and terrible to realize,
even japanese hieroglyphics represented;
which latter specimen will, | should
think, be far worse than the sun flower
and poppy "Dolly vardens."

SUIT FOR A CHURCH EDIIcE.
As the spring term of our Circuit
Court approaches, we hear considerable
talk Of suit by the Methodist and Cum
berland Presbyterian Churches against
the Christian Church for possession Of
one Of our church buildings. The house
was erected by the appellants, but was
repaired at the close of the war by the
sppellces, and by the contract, as is
claimed, they have taken partial Posses-

ROOM FOR MORE SHEEP.

Statistics show that .here were in 1871
about 32.000.0OO million sheep in the
United States, yielding an average OF
four pounds of wool each, or l2S. 600, 0OO
pounds in the aggregate. In ADDITION.
the annual Importation of wool amounts
to about 10000, 900 pounds. at cost of
nearly $4,000 900. Then we import
wooden goods to the amount of nearly
S44, 600, 600 per annnm. There is room.
therefore, for an increase of 1900. 900
more sheep in the country to supply the
home demand for wool. and for about
$4,000. 900 to displace the importation of
wooden goods.

In consequence of this size of the fruit.
an unusual demand has been created for

they are worthy; bu. st the same time it
is to be said that many of most expert

that with equally good culture the old
Red Dutch will be found quite AZ profit
