BEg" Daniel Webster is credited with
having said: ''If | had as many sons as
old Priam, would have them all learn
a trade, so they would have something
TO fall back on in case they failed i'll
speculations." A Philadelphia paper
moraizes thus sensibly thereon: The
number Of young men who are brought
up to no useful trade or calling, is Oh
the increase. The effect of this is seen
in political life, where thousands OF men
are begging, as at present III Washing
ton, for position with vague idea
that their unframed powers and ignor-
ance can find shelter in some cosy nook
where they may at least draw their pay.
Being practically OF no earthly use to
themselves or any one else, they only
hope to find some place where they can
continue to exist without beneftting
any one. i destitute young man,
without trade, and who is not qualiti-
ed by practice to fill any position, is in
a condition to become a tramp, and the
chances are that he will become one, or
fare even worse by becoming a criminal.
