Aversion to Manual Labor.

The practice of educating boys for the
professions, which are already overstocked,
or for the mercantile business, in which
statistics show ninety-nine in hundred
fail of success, is fearfully on the increase
in this country. Americans are annually
becoming more and more averse to man
ual 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 our
young men. The result is that the me-
chanical professions are becoming monop-
oly of foreigners and the ownership of the
finest farms, even in New England, is
passing from Americans to Germans or
Irishmen. Fifty years ago father was
not ashamed to put his children to the
plow, or to mechanical trade; but now
they are ''too feeble" for bodily labor. 1t
seems never to occur to their foolish par
ents that moderate manual labor, in the
pure and bracing air of the country, is just
what these lads need, and that to send
them to the crowded and unhealthy city is
to send them to their graves. Let them
follow the plow, or swing the sledge, or
shove the foreplane, and their nerves will
be invigorated with their muscles, and
when they have cast off their jackets, in
stead of being thin, pale, vapid coxcombs,
they shall have spread out to the size and
confguration of men. A lawyers Office, a
counting room, or a grocery, is about the
last place to which sickly youth should
ever be sent.
