Do trades Amerioan any more ? boys One learn would suppose not, if the multitude of purposeless, aimless young men out of employment is any indica tion. Tliere was a time when the master mechanic had his house filled with hearty young appTen- tices, and when his journeymen went from under his roof to set up in life for themselves. To men in middle life the recollec tions of those far-off times when the master, his men and boys, formed a strong productive in dustrial group, seem like the memory of a primilive age. Sons of rich and educated men did not think it beneath them to swing •the broadaxe in the ship-yard, or the sledge h.nmmer at tire anvil. Or the}’ went to sea before the mast, and climbed to the 11131461- deck from the foreoastle. In 'S large family of boys .one would be sent to college, one' miglit possibly go into «ie-chnn- tile JHirsuits, and the others wonid ohoe-ss their tradies after many anxioiw but cheery family coun cils. Noiv-a-day.s the young lads shrink from the irksome confine-' meiit of the nieclwKic’s tdiop. If* thei' cannot go to college and so while awMv their I'outh, they, must “ go into a store”-^auything but woi'k. We do not betitle. the v-ocation of a clerk or sales man when Av'e say 'that to be in’ eitkn- one or the other of tlie.^e callings appears to most young men the most comfortable thing. Of all tire pursuits which men follow., this seet-ns to require the least preparation-. At nny rate the men who ate willing to make themselves genei-aily useful -more naturally turn to the shop ot the retail dealer than to any other source of employment. They hav'e never learned a trade. They like to wear good clothes and keep their hands .soft and white. If tliey cannot stand behind the countei' or desk, or secure politi cal influence sufficien’t to push them into an office of .some sort, they drift aimlessly about, look ing for employment which never comes. Falsa ideas of livin.g and ex travagant notions are responsible for a great deal of this hopeless miser,y. Young lads are brought up to consider manual labor de- u-radino-, an-d fond-, foolish parents sometirnes seem to preter that their chiltiren should go o'ut iiVto the world helpless rather than the}' should learn a trade. But the selfishness of mechanics and the outrageous tyranny ot their un ions-, have had a hand in bringing to pass the present state of things. About twenty-five years ago there began a series of experiments in the trades-unions which has re sulted disastrously. The times were good, work plenty, and wages fair. To maintain a mo nopoly of these, associations of mechanics began to limit the number of apprentices Avlfich might be employed in each shop, factory or company of workmen. Meii who liad sons to equip for life actually voted to shut the trade against their own offspring. The consequence iViis that, Ih'e supply of skilled workmen did not keep up with the expansion of the country, and with the le gitimate demand. Employers were obliged to send abroad for work men, and it Came to pass that grown men from foreign parts took the places in American work shops foi which American boys should have been educated. Where now are those neglected, cheated boys ? Some of them are in jails and alms houses. Some will bo found lounging on the benches in the public parks, vainly Avaiting for sometliing to turn up. Others, willing enoughj are advertising for situations where they can make themselves generally useful.—SclBCted. A Goon ASSweir.^-A poor man w'ho fell into bad habits, on being re.scued, reformed-, and converted, often spoke of himself as a ‘brand pklcked from tlie bu-rning.’ 'Wiiat do }-on mean by that?’ asked one 0.’his former i-siociates. “Come go with uss, and have one more drink.” “Look-ltcreD anxwvred tlvem-an. “You know there is a difference between a brand and a green-stick. If a spark fallon a brand that has been paitly bAVr.ned, k will-isoon catch fire again. ISot so with a green-stick. I tell yOM I-am That brand plucked out of the fire; and I dai-e not venture into the wjiy of temptation for fear of being set on fiYb a(jain.—Se' 'Aii.” ■—“Say, Jlister, will you fsWop a Testament for some sugar ?” said -St little lad to a niLssionai-y of the American Sunday School Union. “I ain’t got no wioney, but here’s some cjikes of maple sugar. It’s all I’ve got to gire. Tliey are mighty nice. Will you swop, sir ? . Mother. '.vunt-s the book, -and Bil like aNvful well to get it tor her.” The swop was made, and turned to so good an account, by the interest whicli the story exiNited, that ilO0 little ones ill those backwoods were each made rieher by tlte posses sion of a copy of tlrat same book. Even a boy’s two cakes of maple sugar are not to be despised-. K.atiieu Hemauk.hu.e.—Mr. Jno.
