Give your Boy a Trade.--We may be dull, but we have never beer able to understand why 1t Is that there is so much repugnance on the part Of parents and guardians Of children, iu putting their son to a trade. We regard skilled mschanc as an independent man. Go where he will 10 this great country, his craft will bring him an honest, even though it be an humble sup port. He need ask fsvers Of none. In his own hands, literally, he has his fortune. But, alas, here are too many foolish parents, who, ambi- tious that their sons should " rise in the world" as they say, are more willing that they shou d study for profession, with the chances Of even moderate success heavily against them, or run the isk OF spending their manhood in the igno- Bile task OF retailing dry goods, or toling labori- ously at the accountants desk, than learn trade which would bring them manly strength, health and independence. In point Of fact the method they choose is the least likely tO achieve the advancement aimed at, for the supply Of candi- dates for positions as " errand boys" dry eoeds clerks, mud kindred occupations, is notoriously Overstocked, while, on the other hand, the de- mand for really skilled mechanics, of every de scriptnn, is notorinusly beyond the supply. The crying need Of this country to-day is for skiiled labor; aud that father who neglects to provide his son with a useful trade. and to see that he thoroughly masters il, does him an Injustice, a grievous wrong, and runs the risk OF helping by so much, to increase the stock OF idle and de- pendent, if not vicious members OF society.

The fact conveys a lesson of profound interest to those who have in charge the training Of boys, and girls, too, for the active duties of life.
