Hitherto, most attempts to continue instruction in and daily devotion to manual labor, with thorough intellectual culture, have con-. tained the seeds of their own destruction. To provide manual labor for those who choose it, and allow all who please to decline it, what Is this but virtually saying that such labor m*y be well for those who cannot otherwise procure the means of pro.«C'«uting their studies, aad for those only ? Of course, this at once establishes a class distinction—the gentlemen, who are shielded by fortiue from the necessity ot vultar toil, above the horizontal line, and the plebeians, who must work to live, below it. The latter class steadily dwindles in number and in self-respect, until it wholly disappears; and now the triumphant shout goes up from every old fashioned college, shaking their roost venerable cobwebs, that manual labor hae had another lair trial, resulted in another failure 1 though that principle has never been comprehended, much less accepted by those desperately, vainly courted noteriety and patronage, by tolerating labor in their seminary.

It was in the grand upper room of this palace-like store, while I was being measured for a coat, that I conceived the idea of writing this article. In well-condncted establishments of every kind you will notice the same face* year after year; for able men naturally gather able men around them, and employers and employed, by reciprocal justice and courteay, become attached to one another, and have neither motive nor deaire to sever the connection. And yet, on that occasion, seeing around me the same skilful and obliging persons that I had seen there ten years before, I could not but rcflect how little chance they had to advance from clerkship to mastership.Work for Child rbh.—There is no greater defect in educating children than neglecting to accustom them to work. It is an evil that attaches mostly to towns and cities. Our children suffer much for it. Tha parent does aotcousider whether the child's work ie necessary to the child. Nothing is more certain than that in their future independence and comfort much depends on their being accustomed to work—accustomed to provide for the thousand constantly recurriug want* that nature entails on us. If [9o*o Bros—Page 32.] To be tested with any fairness, the manual labor principle must be adopted in quite* different spirit from this. It must be adopted not M a desperate resource for needy students, who are determined to have learning, even though they are compelled to work for it, but as the proper and necessary conserver of physical health and mental energy. It must be adopted and enforced upon, not a class, but the whole body, teachers as well as pupils, and accepted by them, not as a penance, but as a natural and beneficent self assertion. Accepted and pursued in this spirit, not as a dreaded task,but as a welcome relaxation from brain-work, from the torpid blood of study and the cramped attitudes of the class-room, manual labor would become an element In our educational processes of incalculable value and benefit. No young man would henceforth 'Acquire learning at the expense of his health, and wear away from college the highest honors, to be buried with him in an untimely grave. REMOVAL!

Now, what is the difference between a small tailor-shop (well placed and well conducted) and the overshadowing clothing houses of Brooks or Devlin? Why, nothing but thirty years' growth !

The clergyman, the lawyer, the doctor, who knows no way of earning a livlihood outside of his profession, is the slave of bis physical necessities. He may come to loathe his w ay of life, and yet he must persevere in it or starve. The clergyman may become satisfied, by faithful and candid investigation, that the creed of his church embodies fatal error, and yet to proclaim the newly discovered truth is to deprive his family of bread and shelter. The physician may likewise stumble upon a new truth, rejected and despised by the orthodox lawgivers of his profession, at whose feet he has been brought up; he knows thst this truth should be proclaimed—that the life and health of thousands depend upon it—but he knows, also, that if he shonld proclaim it, he would be promptly cut off from the fellowship and the sympathies of his professional bretbern ; would lose his practice, and be driven out to grass, like Nebuchadnezzar ; and he says, "Am I really bound to expose my helpless little ones to such hardships? Why may I not be discreet, and live in comfort and peace?" And so he stifles his convictions, and lives on, though others die for it. Had he only been educated to use hts hands otherwise than in surgery, be would have proclaimed the truih and defied the consequences, which now he dare not. To fail as a physician is to fail utterly. ,. . ■ j Thr Two Merchants.—We clip the following, which daily finds an example, and commend the lesson it teaches to the consideration of merchants located in this vicinity « I respectfully solicit a call from my friends and the public generally.

"Noser" Tot50 Mu.—An exchange remarks,; in a discussion of the subject of male and female foppery, that the young men are certainly not behind the young ladies in their extravagance in dress. To be "nobby" is their chief object in life. It is the young men who devote two-thirds of their minds to the fashion and set of tieir neck-ties, and who are over anxious to be "nobby," thnt give tho balance of their intellectual! abilities to the orimes of forgery, and embcsslement, the vice of gambling Ac A young man's desire to be "nobby" (by which we mean the possession of a reputation of extravagant acd outer dress in preference to a character for intelligence and virtue) very often leads him to take other people's bank notes or bonds, and, if he has no "influence,* to along term of servitude in a striped woolen costume which is the reverse of "nobby." To bo nobby, the true significance of that flash word, is also to be saobby; and to be snobby, although it is not always to be brainless,or dishonest, is to pass tolerably current for a fool, if not a knave. It is every young man's duty to himself and to society to dress well, to wear neat and eomely garments, which are pleasing ; but he becomes offensive when his raiment and ita arrangement are entitled to the phrase "nobby." So important, however, has the "nobby" branch of business become, that some newspapera live by recording the constant changes iu the fashions of butterflies, suspenders, shirt collars end gaiters, and are consulted by the would-be grand young men, as religiously as the Tariaian fashion plates are inspected by tsilors snd msntuamakers. Employers cannot be too careful of "nobby" young men. Temptation cannot always be resieted either by weak or immoral natures. 741,337 CUTLERY, PLOWS AND CA8TING8 FOR PLOWS, 8 u ranee Co, " " 178,920 Particular attention paid to Combined Life and Accident Insurance in Travelers of Hartford.

C Coal Oo.'a Office, PITTSTON, PFNNA. Such language as this I have repeatedly heard in the western country, and any one who goes there can see for himself what a field there is for inon who know how to take hold of work and do It. You can also see for yourself that the strong, rootod men of the West, as of the East, are men who in their youth learned that subtle, incommunicable wisdom which comes of doing homely work with their own hands and mind, patiently and well. One of the most thriving establishments in Chicago is a wagon factory, founded twenty years ago by a poor mechanic, whoso entire capital at starling just sufficed to enable him to complete one rough farmer's wagon; but it was a good strong wagon; it gave great satisfaction to the man who bought it; it brought iu plenty of new orders to the msker, and the factory Is now turning out from five to seven hundred wagons a week. What is the matter with these poor creatures 1 The matter is : they have never boiled potatoes, ironed clothes, made pudding, cleaned paint, or in any other way seriously applied their heads or hands to tho performance ol homely tasks. They havo missod the precious education which comes of carefully done work. If any good soul would take a dozen of these unfortunate beings, and give them a good three year's drill in the work of a well-ordered house, the educating effect would astonish every one who knew them. You cannot boil an egg precisely right without getting a little education out ot it. CISTERN AND WELL PUMPS, LEAD PIPE, constantly on hand, and will be sold and set to order.

This establishment was one of five in different cities, owned by the same company, and managed by iU chief. Great indeed was my astonishment, on being introduced to this captain of industry, to find him a brisk and smiling young gentleman of thirty-two. I thought it must be a mistake. I supposed he was the son of "the old man." but no; he was the veritable founder, chief owner and manager of five extensive iron works, and during tho war be had worked a contract for supplying an army with biscuit. This youngster of thirty-two had done these things! and with the generosity natural to youth, he was in the habit of giving away $25,- 000 a year to the benevolent operations of the city.

D. Feb. T. 1868-1 y I should be sorry to say anything to disparsge our institutions of learning. Nevertheless, 1 feel confident that an intelligent youth, who remains at school until he is sixteen or seventeen, and then apprentices himself to a good trade, can get a better eduoation out of his shop (with an hour's study of principles in the evening)than it is possible to get in any college in existence—that is to say, a better education lor this new and forming country, where, for fifty years at least tu come, no man can hope to pley a leading; part,except in wielding material forces. I say, then, lads of sixteen, if you wouid lay a foundation for a sure prospority begin by learning a trade. I( yon would escape the perdition of being a fool, learn a trade.

The father was going out one morning, when his good wife laid her hand upon his arm and said, "Ffther, have you forgotten prayers?" " No," was the huaky reply," I haven't forgotten, but its no use. Qod does not hear us." The wife's eyes were full of teara: "Well, let us pray that God will make us more earnest, and then, perhaps, he will answer our prayer." lie went out to the barn, and then his wife's words, his overburdened heart, and the habit of years led him to fall upon his knees and pray for more earnestness, and to again beseech God to convert his -boy. His boy heard the prayer, and wishing to get away ao that ho might not hear more, went to the bouse. Going past hia mother's room he heard her voice raised in prayer for more earnestness, and in supplication for him. lie paused, overcame, and then went in and kneeling down by her and putting his arms around her neck, said, " Mother, God knows you are in earnest, and he has answered your prayer."

A bright pair of eyes had been peeping for some time from one of the chambers, and with Hajji's permission I called out a graceful creature of fourteen with a shape like a Grecian Cupidon, and a timid sweetness of expression that might have descended to her from the gentle Ruth of Scripture. There are lovely beings all over the world. It was a desert else. But I did no' think to find such a diamond in a Hebrew's bosom. I bad forgotten to mention her hair, which was very remarkable. I thought at first it was dyed with henna. It oovered her back and shoulders in the greatest profusion, braided near the head, and floated below in glossy and silken curia of a richness you would deny nature had you seen it in a painting. The color waa of the deep burnt brown of a berry, almost black in the shade, but catching the light at every motion like threads of gold. In life I have seen nothing so beautiful. There was something in it that you, could scarce avoid associating with the charecter of the wearer—as if it stole its softness from inborn geutleuess in in her heart.
