60 and Learn n Trade.

I'll sing little song tonight,
And ev'ry word is true,
You'll IA that every line is meant,
Young gentleman, for you
I've no intention to offend,
In what is sung or said
The sum and substance Of it Is,
To go and learn trade.
CHORUS.
The " coming man is he who lives
To see his fortune made,
Whom everybody will respect,
Because he learned trade.
Your education may be good,
Eut time is fitting by.
Instead of working don't be fooled;
The old man may not die;
And if he should, the chances are
His will may be mislaid,
Or you cut off without a cent,
So go and learn q trade"
The country's full of "nice young men,"
Who from their duty shirk;
Who think 'twould crush their family pride
II they should go to work;
Take off your coat (your father did),
And find some honest maid,
Who'll help you make your fortune when
You've learned an honest trade.
Be temperate in all you do.
Be faithful to your "boss :"
You'll find the more you do for him
Will never prove loss.
You'll find out fifty years from now,
When fame and fortunes made,
The best step that you ever took
Was when yoa learned trade.

Scientific and Mechanical Po,s,b,,,.;.a.

Gas wells in various localities Indicate that
immense deposits of coal oil and petroleum
exist in the earth, which may be at great
depth and New England may yet count 1t
among her treasures, and large and enduring
deposits, which few now dream of, be found.
We may burn it for fuel as well as for illumin-
alton; by its use steamboats, may cross the
ocean, and locomotives fly by its aid. We are
just beginning to learn the power of this new
servant that man has awakened from the
sleep of ages. The country also abounls in
limestone, sandstone and bituminous shales,
which by scientific and mechanical aid, NAV
afford an almost never-ending supply of this
wonderful material 5f
And notwithstanding the seemingly ad-
vanced state of the means of transportation,
it is inadequate to the present wants of man,
Steamboats, and railroads do not even meet
the wants ofour own country. New Eng
land and the Middle States want Western and
Southern products and, rice uersd, the West
and South want Eastern products at cheaper
rates. Can the possibility of aerial naviga-
tion be doubte /? Every year IS bringing us
nearer practical solution of this great prob
lem.
If a light motive power is required science
may yet discover cheap method of separat-
ing aluminium from our clay, some OF which
contains as much as tLirty pounds of this
most wonderful material to the ton. This
metal is three times stronger than Steel and
as light as chalk. On the very surface of the
earth we daily walk over material from
which the machinery for motive power may
be constructed of about one-tenth the weight
OF iron or steel. In the oxygen of the at
mosphere is abundant fuel which may be us
ed to rarity the air for motive power; other
powers also exist in nature, which will, no
doubt, yet become the servants OF man. One
discovery opers vast and expensive avenues,
leading to unexplored regions, where munifi-
cent creative nature holds in store rich treas
ures which the scientific hand may drag from
her dark arcana.-Scientifc Aneyican. =

with the address of Robert c. Winthrop, gives
an account of the previous fires in the city and
then enters upon full detailed, and pictur-

The narrative is written in a ve-y readable

We should like to see one of those misera-

deavor to understand it. If he did not lay
down the magazine or newspaper in hum

could say about him would be that he was a

After much further deliberation on the

that
As one of the great objects of mental train
