The dear little angels were taken

Well. they did come to live with her

GRADES For American Eoys.

The trades in our country, of late
years, have almost been monopolized
by foreigners. The American boy,
however, when lie does take Il trade,
goes straight on to the top of the lad
der. IL seems MS if our boys would
rather be fourth rate LAWYERS or ply
s;cians than earn their living by work
ing w, tn their hands. Only the other
day l read in a New York newspaper
of a Young lawyer in q distant city,
whom | knew some years ago when l
resided in that section of the country,
who literally starved to death. He
made scarcely any mouey. was too
proud to tell of his want, lived as long
as he could on crackers and water, and
was found one day in his office. dead
from lack of nourishment. He should
never have entered the legal profess
sion, for he had no alb ty in that d.
r%ection. As a farmer or a mechanic
he might have lived a long, useful and
successful lie. No boy, of course,
should enter a trade unless he feels
himself fitted for it; but, on the other
hand, he should not. it seems to me,

Oyster Farming.
Harpers Young People.
In addition to natural oyster beds
there are many s.oyster FARMS where
these delicious mollusks are regularly
cultivated. Stakes are driven in the
mudin shallow water. and branches of
trees, rough boards, or stones are
placed between them for the baby oys-
tiers to fasten themselves to. When
the nursery is ready several boat-loads
of oysters are dropped near the spot.
They increase and grow rapidly. being
ready for the table in from two ia
three wears.
