following sensible advice to the young folks:

the young folks, OF either sex. is to learn
trade. No matter whether You are rich or
poor, learn trade Yon may encounter hard
ships and difficulties, but learn trade. Your
parents keep you now, but you will, at some
future period, have to keep yourself, if you
hive, and reoollect he or she who has no
trade or occupation, lives by chance. The
best legacy parents can leave their children
Is knowledge Of how to support themselves
h0norably. This cannot be done so well
without as with trade. Yonn@ people shonld

that people who set out to live 10y their wits
often break for,want Of stock. Then don't
turn up your noses at a trade-at any hon
orabte occupation rather be proud of it.
Let the boys learn trades, and let the girls
learn trades too. There are many ups and
downs IN life, AMI one who is rich to day
may be poor tomorrow. Remember tins
and learn 4 trade.
