Aversion to Manual Labor.

The practice of educating boys for the
professions. which are already over
stocked, or for the mercantile business,
in which statistics show that ninety-fve
in hundred fail of success, is fearfully
on the increase in this country. Ameri-
cans are annually becoming more and
more averse to manual labor, and to get
a living by ones wits, even at the cost
of Independence and self-respect, and
fearful wear and tear of conscience, is the
ambition of a large proportion of our
young men. The result is that the me-
chanical professions are becoming a mo-
nopoly of foreigners, and the ownership
of the finest farms in New England, is
passing from Americans to Irishmen and
Germans. Fifty years ago father was
not ashamed to put his children to the
pillow or to mechanical trade; but now
they are g too feeble" for manual labor
one has pain in his side. another
slight cough, another g a very delicate
constitution, another is nervous; and
so poor Bobby or Billy or Tommy is
sent off to the city to measure tape,
Wci5u COuSc, Vt uIdH tIiDidSScS. II StctifS
never to occur to their foolish parents
that moderate manual labor in the pure
and bracing air of the country is just
what these puny, wasp-wastcd lads need,
and that to send them to the crowded
and unhealthy city is to send them to
their graves. Let them follow the pillow,
swing the sledgc. or shove the fore-plane.
and their pinched chests viii be expand
ed. their sunken cheeks pumped out,
and their lungs, now cabined, cribbed
and confined" will have room to play.
Their nerves will be invigorated with
their muscles, and when they shall have
cast off their jackets, instead of being
thin, pale, vapid coxcombs, they shall
have spread out to the size aud confgu-
ration of men. A lawyers Office, a
counting-room, or grocery is about the
last place to which sickly youth should
be sent.
