Tho American Boy. *v istibi>tint. *iim or i\ ever I'roknt topic. What shall be done with the boys? i one of the most important question, that now coniront* the American father is censured by every cenu* re. port for not rnising more children, and invidious comparisons are made be tween Lis own and the family of the foreign born citizens across the street, while for his own part be is at bis wits end to know what he shall do with the two or three rollicking young fellows already on his hands. It he is wealthy and would be glad to see the boys go through college and adopt some one of the ''learned professions for a liveli hood, the youngsters are either opposed to it themselves on general principle, or those polite callings are nil so full already that there is not room even in the upper stories, where Daniel Webster is quoted assaying there are always plenty of vacancies. If he thinks of teaching them tr . ie he is met with still greater opposition. He can tind plenty ot colleges and uni vereilies in the land which will gladly undetake the pleasing task of gradual ing his boys for a reasonable considers tion in ready cash, but if he wishes to apprentice then to some useful employ ment he finds opposition where he ex pected it. Ilia plan is objected to firt, by the family, who do not wih to hate them engage in u service that is classed manual latxir, and, while the l*>y* do not care to become lawyers, doctors or ministers they would like something light and respectable—the | a ,t term meaning, the kind of • tuployment that involves a good living, the wearing of good clothes and the admission into good society on an equal footing with leat of people, l'.ut the American parent finds upon inve,tigaiion that all these pursuits are quite as full a< the "learned professions,'' and unless he can get situations for Iris boys through favoritism, or by reasoo of his own social positnn, be is thown back upon the trades, or the joung gentleman grown up in idleness and are wasting the formative and most important period of their existence. And if he settles down upon a trade that requires two or three years of ap prenticeahip before the learner is pro ficient in it and has mastered all its details, the boy is destitute of the re quired tenacity of purpose requisite to accomplish the work, or perhaps the trades union will interpose it* objection, and its opposition often settles the matter. Men who understand only one kind of business and expect to bo their work in it bare n natural repugnance to seeing it overdone, and are naturally jealous of all sorts of comprfi'on in it, and to keep others from learning it is one of the ways in which tliey butter their own bread. The consequence is that two results follow, namely, first, that Iheir I* a large number of Americana father who are still pnrzled with the conundrum, "what is to be done wiih our boysand secondly, tbe American manufacturer is compelled to go to Eu rope tor skilled workman. A gentleman who is engaged in silk manufacturing in thiscountry write* toa New York paper in explanation of th* employment ot so many foreign artisant in tbe ailk business, and says it is on* o f the necessities of (he situation, lit finds out young men and women ob jecting to spending two or three year, in becoming expert in the business, (i course every onn with common senst sees that we are making a great nustaki in not preparing ourselves lo (ill th< ranks of skilled labor in every dppart went where it is needed from the rank of our own people, rather than to be obliged to depend on our too willing neighbors across the sea. And herein is another strong argument for the tanfl I protection of our homo industries, because by such a policy the list ol em , ploymenl is largely increased, the op ' portunities for young men are greatly i multiplied, and the problem in a men* ' uro solved "What shall be done with 1 our boy- 7 ' Irish Affairs , u'imixm ix's win: visirrn mil i v i in* in— I'ItCI'AHINU ran Till.
