YOUNG MAN. LEARN ATRADE.

We think il was Daniel Webster who
said 'If had Us many sons as old
Pnam j would have them all learn a
trade, so they would have something 10
fall back on in case they failed in spec
ulations." Aud he was right. Every
father should qualify his sons 10 be-
come self-supporting should necessity
require. There are but few men in
this world that are so rich they cannot
become poor, and when sons are
brought up TO rely on their fathers
possessions there is no telling when
they may become worse off than the
poorest mechanic. Such instances are
Occurring daily, and will continue 10 oc.
cur for all time 10 come.
A young man who is not qualified to
earn his own living should necessity
require, stands on very dangerous
ground. Even knowledge OF latin and
Greek and the higher mathematics will
not OF itself fill hungry mouths in
these times, aud where one succeeds in
profession one hundred fail There
would be much less destitution and des-
pair in this country il, after young men
were qualified for college, they were
sent 10 spend four years in learning Q
trade, instead Of entering college, FOL
at the expiration Of that fur years
they would be prepared To support
themselves. t4
The number OF young men who arr
brought mp to no useful trade OF cal
ling is very great, aud the number il
on the increase. The effect Of this i,
seen in political life, where Thousands
of men are begging for position,
with vague idea that their unframed
powers and ignorance can find shelter
in some cozy nook where they may al
least draw their pay. Being particular,
ly Of no earthly use 10 themselves ol

and who is not qualified by practice I,
