Do you suppose a mechanic has no ideas; that.he is all muscle And no mind; a pas sive wheel-horse to do another's bidding, without a single thought of his own? ,You are much mistaken, reader, if you have come to this conclusion. Mechanics have ideas, valuable ones, too, if they are not always "squared and smoothed and fitted" to those of other men. It frequently happens that the thoughts of other men are not fitted to theirs; the glitter of their genial expres sions blinds their sight to the wholesome unvarnished truths with which mechanics aro so much in the ,habit of dealing, and with which from the first of their appren tice,hip they are constantly made familiar. Thn workshop affords manifold opportuni ties for getting facts, but in the usual drift of business favors the mechanic with little time and occasion to store and arrange them, to dress them up with the embellishment of words, trace the connection with theory, or their application and relation to other facts; so the mind of the mechanic becomes in time more a doing than a talking faculty-- a mind to work, fraught with the genuine fruit of persevering application, than a mere colloquial power, abounding with the tinsel• ing of speech. It is very true the workshop imposes se vere tasks upon the beginner, and repeats them often to the hinderance of his head work blunting his mental sensibilities, and dragging his mind ,into the grooves of his labor. The depressing tendency of physi cal labor reminds me of a singular phrase used by Cornish miners. When they dig in promising veins but find no ore, they call such profitless labor "Dead Work." The process of disclosing expected gain, but without success, they do not deem worthy .the title of living work, nor even the homely name of work, but signifleantlycall it "dead work," as if to say it is work to no purpose. It seems to have a meaning and an appli cation here, and points to a manner of work ing, as harmful to the tradesman as the "busy idleness" of a noonday lounger. An aimless activity besetting a man in the midst of his noble toil is a species of paral ysis which rapidly dampens every spark of resolution he possesses, and must in time transform his willing faculties into a mere mechanism, clock-wheel like, moving only as they are' moved, and never beyond their fixed and appointed rounds. Let every mechanic beware of this inflex ible "set" which some men's brains take. There is no need of locking one's mind in the iron case of a degrading empiricism.— An intellect is in a vice and the stamp of "dead work' is on it when muscle becomes the master mind. Taking a retrospective view of life and its varied experiences, does it not stern that nn immense amount of mind and character is often made to gain a mere "sleight of hand" in the use of tools, when the proper devel opment of these would give a f.tcility and a power greater and more wonderful than any skilful handling? Does it not excite a just fear when this thing of "learning a trade" proves a positive injury to the man in every after use of his brain, and checks and chai ,, s the free exercise of his thought.? I do not say, or in any way intimate, that workshop ezperience necessarily gravitates to this inglorious anchorage of the human mind, but in general I am safe in asserting that all mere physical labor pulls down; it is mental labor alone which rais es the char acter and influence of a man. Somewhere between these two extremes we find our oper places, and the most effective condi tion for the employment of our energiev. The Cornishman has again furnished our vocabulary with another phrase of opposite import; when he gets a part of the ore for his labor he ecdls it "Tribute Wurk." Un like "dead work," this proves a profitable excavation to him, and makes him at once interested in the results of his toil. It is this kind of compensation which in. vibrates mind and muscle, cheers us in the strife for attajnment, and disarms labor of fatigue. It is "tribute work" that sweetens toil and softens the asperities of care; it is the rcward of industry, whether applied to mining. learning a trade, or blasting the -hard reeks of knowledge. May I not safely say that mental labor must he considered that kind of "tribute aork" which pays the best, because it is ever working for one's self, and the whole proceeds of rightly directed effort at once become the exclusive property of the votary. Getting, knowledge is a business which may be started and conducted by any one, as the only capital required is time, and the only tools needed are such as Nature has furnished every one whom 5114 C has brought into the world. A life spent in using those mentia quali fications which nature has implanted in every one for special ends, and fur wise and useful purposes, is the best "tribute work" that can be performed. Working for the attainment of one's own marital excellence is emphatically working for higher wages, as it not only enables ev ery working man to understand the nature and importance of his position and rights, but also gives him power to assert and de fend them when invaded. With all the elements of a gennine, truth ful character in full play, the mechanic who dignifies 'toil by mental activity, is more than a match for a legion of those who, by muscular force alone, try to supply all their physical wants. It is,by the.sweat.cf their-snows that me chaniceare to work out their destinies, which probably means a commingling of perspira tion from both brain.and muscle; singular that we should only see a curse in this edict, when all the comforts and conveniences, as well as the "purple and fine linen" of life are created by it, when the whole founda tion and frame-work of civilized life depend upon rightly apportioned mental and phys ical labor. Now, when on the way to your workshop ask yourselves—what is learning' a trade? If it be merely to "shove a jack plane," drive a hand-saw, drill holes in a piece of iron after their centres have been "laid out" by the "boss," "chip and file" a rough- casting to a plane.surface, bore and fit wheels on their respective shafts, or do any common machine work to order—can you censure the great dictionary -Johnson fur defining a mechanic to be 'one bred to manual labor"? But,you vrill say that is bet the true deft nition.cf a mechanic, reminding me that "one well skilled in the art of making machines," is a better one; it certainly presents the_sub;cet in a more encouraging way, and dignifies the mechanic wi•h no mean title, If to his measure of skill be associated all rightful .4ill4, , enee, he need not be ashamed of his life's labor, if min no more is said of him than that his WC3 one of skilled industry. What will you say when yen learn, that this same lexicographer stigmatized the "sons f toil" with a base•born misnomer like this— "a mean, vulgar fellow." As if a boor, with character blemished by low asso ciates, habits blackened, like his garments, by the stygean murkiness of his trade, and his: mind brought up "all standing," by an ever load of "dead-work," were Com petent to design and construct machines. If such be a mechanic I think it will pay any one to look at the causes of this (differ ence in tradesmen; even a hasty search may reward him with the conviction that it is due, not so much to the quantity of mere work done, as to the thoughts which base characterized and superseded work. There is a higher purpose in labor than merely to get a "job done," if we can only see it aright and go about it with a proper motive and a sincere aim. The mechanic who desires to enrich his life with the wholesome fruit of rightly di rected labor, and to attain to the high rat - tage ground townrds which his destiny lookb, let him take to heart ard•rememLer these wog Is: He who firmly resolves open the an !om plishment of any great and gond end, hrs by that resolution surmounted the great har riers to it, and he who seizes and determines upon the grand idea of self-improvement, will find that idea and determination burn ing like a fire within him to carry out every purpose that recommends itself to his favor —will find it searching out new paths, dis covering means and removing difficulties that lie in the way—giving courage for de spondency, strength for weaknes., and pow er of endurance beyond fatigue. nom /li.tory of :he N. t1icr3.11,4 , The Fire Ships in the Scheldt. In the hold of each vessel, along the whole length, was laid down a sold flooring of brick and mortar, one foot thick, and five feet wide. Upon this was buib; a chamber of marble mason work, forty feet long, three and a half feet broad, as many high, and with side walls five feet in thickness. This was the crater. It was filled with seven thousand pounds of gunpowder, of a kind superior to anything known, and prepared by Gianihclli himself. It was covered with a roof six feet in thickness, formed of blue tombstones, placed edgwise. Over this cra ter rose a hollow cone, or pyramid, made of heavy marble slabs, and filled with millstone, cannon balls, blocks of marble, chain shot, iron hooks, plough-coulters and every dan gerous missile that could be • imagined. The spaces between the mine and the sides of each ship were likewise filled with paving stones, iron-bound stakes, harpoons and other projectiles. The whole fabric was then covered by a smooth, light flooring of planks and brick work, upon which was a pile of wood. This was to bo lighted at the proper time, in order that the two ves sels might present the appearance of simple fire-ships, intended only to excite a confla• gration of the bridge. On the "Fortune" a slow match, very carefully prepared, com municated with the submerged mine, which was to explode nt a nicely-calculated mo ment. The ruption of the other floating volcano was to bo regulated by an ingeni ous pica of clock work, by which, at the appointed time, fire, struck from a flint, was to inflame the hidden mass of gunpowder below. In addition to these two infernal machines or "hell burners," as they were called, a fleet of thirty-two smaller vessels was pre pared. Covered with tar, turpentine, rosin, and filled with inflamable and combustible materials, these barks were to be sent from Antwerp down the river in detachments of eight every half hour with the ebb tide.— The object was to clear the way, if possible, of the raft, and to occupy the attention of the Spaniards, until the Fortune and the Hope should come down upon the bridges. It was a dark, mild evening of early $1,50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE; $2,00 IF NOT li7 ADVANC.&... spring. As the fleet of vessels dropped slowly down the river, they suddenly be came luminous, each ship flaming out of the darkness, a phantom of living fire. The very waves of the Scheldt seemed glowing with the conflagration, while its banks were lighted up with a preternatural glare. It was a wild, pompous, theatrical spectacle. The array of soldiers on both sides the river along the dykes and upon the bridge, with banners waving, and spear and cuirass glancing in the lurid light; the demon fleet, guided by no human hand,wrapped in flame and flitting through the, darkness, with ir regular movement, but portentous,aspect, at the caprice of wind and tide; the death like stillness of expectation, which had suc ceeded did sound of trumpet and the shouts of the soldiers; and the weird glow which had supplanted the dm kness—all combined with the sense of imminent and mysterious danger to excite and oppress the imagination. Presently, the Spaniards, as they gazed front the bridge, began to take heart again. One after another, many of the lesser vessels drifted blindly against the raft, where they entangled themselves among the hooks and gigantic spear-heads, and burned slowly out without causing any extensive conflagration. Others grounded on the banks of the river, before reaehing their dostination. Some sank in the stream. Last or all came the two infern:do ships, swaying unsteadily With the cur . rent; t!g. , pilots, of course, as they nearad the bridge, having noiselessly effected their escape in the skiffs. The slight lire upon the ib-ek scarcely illuminated the dark, phantom like hulls. Both were carried by the current clear of the raft, which, by a great error of judgement, as it now arpeare , l, on the part of the builders, had only been made to pro tect the floating portion of the bridge. The Fortune came first staggering inside the raft and then lurching clumsily against the dyke, and grounding near halloo, without touch ing the bridge. There was a moments pa of expectation. At last the slow mat,h up on the deck burned out, rind there was a faint and partial explosion, by which little or no damage was produced. Parma instantly called for volunteers to board the mysterious vessel. The deTerate expedition was headed by the bold Rowland Yorke, a L mdoner, of whom one day there was more to be heard in Netherland history. The party now sorting into the dt?..ov ted and now harmless volcano, extinguishing the slight fires that were smouldering on the deck, and thrusting spears and pole; into the hidden rece.ses of the hold. There, was however, little time to pursue these perilous investigations, and the party soon made their escape to the bridge. The troops of P.irma, crowding on tl-e palisade, and lookinw over the parapets, now began to greet the exhibition with peals of derisive laughter. It was but child's play they thought to threaten a Sinnish army, and a fieneml like Alexander Forties°, with such paltry fire works as these. Neverthe less all eyes were anxiously fixed upon the remaining fire-ship, or "hell-burner," the Hope, which had now drifted very near the place of its destination. Tearing her way between the raft and the shore, she struck heavily avinstthe bridge on the Kalloo side close to the block-house at the commence ment of the floating portion of the bridge.— A thin wreath of smoke was seen curling over a slight and smouldering fire upon her deck. At the same moment a certain ensign De Vega, who stood near the Prince of Parma, close to the block-house, approached him with vehement entreaties that ho should retire. Alexander refused to stir from the spot, being anxious to learn the result of these investigations. Vega, moved by some instinctive and irresistible apprehension, fell uron his knees and plucking the General earnestly by the cloak, implored him with such passionate words and gestures to leave the place, that the Prince reluctantly yielded. It W:l9 not a moment too soon. The clock work in the ['lope ha. , l been better adjusted than the slow match in the Fortune.— Scarcely had 4.lexander reached the cn• I trance of St. Mary's Fort at the end of the bridge, when a horrible explosion wee heard The Hope disappeared, together with the men who had boarded her, and the block- ' house against which she had struck, with all its garrison, while a large portion of the bridge, with all the troops upon it, had vanished into the air. It was the work of a single instant. The Scheldt yawned to its lowest depth, and then cast its 'waters across the dykes, deep into the• forts, and far over the land. The earth shook as with the throb of a volcano. A wild glare lighted up the scene for one moment, and was then succeeded by pitchy darkness. houses were toppled down miles away, and not a living thing, even in remote places, could keep its feet. The air was fated with a rain or plonghsharee, gravestones and marble balls, intermixed with the heads, limbs and bodies of what had been human beings. Slabs of granite, vomited by'the flaming ship, were found afterwards_ up a league's distance, and buried deep in the earth. A thousand soldiers wore destroyed in a second of time—many of them being torn in shreds, beyond even the semblance of humanity. Richebourg disappeared, and was not ound until several days later, when his body { was discovered, doubled armind an iron chain, wnieh hung from ono of the badge [WHOLE YUM8ER1,59.2. boats in the centre of the ricer. The retet.an Robles, Seigneur de Billy, a Portu go.se officer cf eminent service and high mil itary rank, was also destroyed. Honths afterwards, his body was discovered adher ing to the timber-work on the bridge, upon the ultimate removal of that structure and was only recognized. by a peculiar gold chain which Iva habitually wore. Parma himself was thrown to the ground, stunned by a blow on the shoulder from a flying Anne. The page, who was behind him, carrying his helmet, fell dead without a wound killed by the concussion of the air. From die &won Commercial Rallelin• Half an Hour in a Railroad Tioket Office.
