J. W. W. Give your Buys a Trctde.--- With the exception of a few specially designed to fill the learned professions, and these may for the most part be confined to those who are physically unable to, get their living by bard work—all boys at the age of sixteen, having previous ly been well educated at school, should be sent to some useful trade. No parent is faithful to his sons, or looks out well for their future prosperity, who suf fers them to krow up without on early designation of the business they are to pursue, and an education specially adapted to,qualify them for such business. lie who enters upon manhoOd without a trade, as a farmer or mechanic, or without . a profession, is but afloat on the uncertain Bea of life, without any desti nation in view, and without rudder, compass, or any of the other meant of a,successful cruise. He is sent forth:amidst society as a mere loafer, an injury and a pest. ' • I It would be well for boys intended as lawyers, doer tors, Ministers, and merchants, to acquire a ,trade.

How treacherous mem iry may have been on a thuusaud occasions, she now acquits her self with fideltiy: Omni she now to enroll the rec ord, which her hand had so often clasped. Is she like the trumpet, that bluweth an "uncertain sound?" Life's history her tongue now repeats—scenes, for. gotten scenes are recalled, and but.id events are brought up.before the eye. Hver the long path which we have made, she leads ha: here she slops to meditate on some dark deed: there she shows an other way into ;which passion hurried us. Have we injured friends? Have the true and fond bosoms on which we rested been pierad by the darts of no. kindness? Itlamou presents it. Have we perform. ed actions ofsenerusity? Have the desolation of the widow 'been cheered, and the loneliness of the orphan been relieved by , us?

Delighted with' the occurrence.. memory repeats it in strains of exultation, Crowded into this narrow period, the moments resemble the waves , that now dance in the sunlight to the music of the breeze, and now flow On in solemn silence beneath the shade of overhanging boughs.

There is nothing which goes so far towards pla cing young people beyond the reach-of poverty, ,as economy in the management of their domeatie af. fairs. It matters not whether a man furnish little or much for his:family, it there is a leakage in his kitchen or in hie parlour, it runs away he knows _not how, and that demon waste cries more, like the horse leech's daughter, until he that provided has no more to giver. It is the husband', duty to bring into the house, and it is the duty of the wife to see that none goes j wrongfulVout of it—not the letiiiit article, however ; ' unimportant in itself, for it will es tablish a precedent; nor under a pretence, for -it o _ pens the door for ruin to stalk in, and he seldom leaves on opportunity unimproved. A man gets a wife to look after his alma, and to assist him in iris journey -through life, to educate and prepare his children for a proper station in life, and not to dis. eipate his property. The husband's interest should be the - wile's care, and her greatest ambition to car ryrio farther than his welfare or happiness, togeth. ee with that of her childrdb. This should be her sole aim, and tile theatre of her exploits in the bo. mom of her family, where abs may do as muchltow. aids making a fortune as he can in the counting. room or the work shop. It is not the money earn. -ed that makes alman wealthy—it is what he saves from his earniqge. A ,good and prudent husband makes a deposit of the fruits of his labor with his best friend: and if that friend be not true to him what has be to:hope? If he dare not place eunfi. dente in the companion of his bosun!, where Is he to place_ it? A Wife acts not for herself only, but she is the agent of many, Ishettivee s end she is bound to act for their - good and not for her lown gratification. Use husband's good is the end to which she shcaild'ainihis approbation is' her to ward.

A GrVarry en David's time.—Ths Rev. Mr. Pierpont, in his address at the Tabernacle, was sure that there were groggeries in David's time, in the lanes end alleys of Jerusalem, with little red curtains before the windows. He was confident there was a description - of the dram-seller in the tenth', Psalm, which, he red with great effect. It is commended to the attention of such as ore in the trade. Verse 6.

It was a thick hazy afternoon. The sun's blood ied orb, amplified to doable its usual size, was already hanging like a huge ball of lire over the western he riSoo, making its last effort to dispel the hazy wreaths of boar frost which were fast thickening into the gloom of prematore evening. The inclemency of an unusually severe season, had, for some weeks past wrapt every thing in -the pale livery of winter. Icicles hung pendant from every roof. Huge masses of snow encumbered the street, and even the. waters of the Seine, arrestail in their course by the stern gripe of winter, were now the scene of holiday sports for crowds of school bays, who alone seemed to re joice in the general torpidity of nature. In such weather I fe!t little inclination to extend my rambles, and contented myself with watching the lively groups ['availin g their Lnyish pastimes nn the icy surface of the waters. Most conspicuous a mang the number was a large party of cadets, just let loose from one of the military schools, whose boisterous mirth added not a little to the animation of the scene. These speedily formed themselves in to two parties, end taking advantage of an ample store of materials at hand, commenced an active war fare with snowballs. After an obstinate contest, one of the parties succeeded in driving the other from the Geld. The retreat was soon converted into a otal route, and in the excitement of the moment vic- tors and vanquished alike seemed to furget the dan gers to whit their heedless impudence was expo sing them. Notwithstanding the ytelding and cracking of the ice, several of the retreating party took refuge near the edge of it, where, in rpite of- the remonstrenceb of many who were alarmed at their penlous situation they continued to keep their pursuers at bay, till a loud crash. and the immersion of one of their num ber, announced that the danger which they had been warned was nokimaginary. The instinct of self pres ervation induced them immediately to rush from the gnat and the bending of the ice under this simulta neous movemenr, mare - ..... e_.,, Theyo ith who had become the victim of this rash ness, nu sooner rose to the surface than he grasped with drowning eagerness at the fragile support around him the ice, which repeatedly gave way, and again piling 11 him into the stream, more and more ex hausted by each successive effort. I hul anticipated some such disa ter, and a short time before had moved fir eard, as well to add my voice in warning them of their danger, as to rt trier any as istance which might be in my power ; ' at ere I could reach the scene of the aecideut, one of the cadets; an active little fell wv who had been t °aspic uous as a leader of the victorious party, rushed to the rescue of his drown in; comp. nion. Lig'it as his weight was, howevei, I had some tear that the ace was too weak to support it, and I called to him t return till ropes could be Fr cured to assist his efforts: but with generous self-devotion he presisted in hi, attempt, and it was with a heart palpitating alike for his safety and success that I saw him approach his companion, and endeavor to nice him out of the wa ter. But, as might have been expected, the (cambia which was insecure even fur one, immediately gave way under the weight of two, and both were in an instant p:tinged• headlong in the stream. Luckily they swam well, end succeeded in grasping the ice , but the former exhaust , d by his repeated efforts, could scarcely sustain himself, and it was obvious. that, unless speedy assistance coult be procured there was' little chance of saving him. - , The contrast between the conduct of the two boys at this trying moment was very striking. The one first imersed, screamed meat piteously, acted the part of a child, and 'seemed to have lost all self-possession ; exhausting himself . by repeated and ill-directed efforts to claMber upon the ice. The other, though condid erable his junior, uttered not a word, except o=a sionally to cheer his companion, and beg of him, in a tone savoring rather of contempt, to cease his cry ing. He was calm and collected, at once seem , dto comprehend the extent of his danger, and that the only hope of saving himself was by clinging fruity to his present support, till more effectual aisisoanee' could be rendered him—To keep up his spirits I called to him not to be afraid but the little relic w an swered me by a took - of resentment, as if, es. n iii such imminent danger, it was crime to duet lus Anxious to rescue the gallant buy, I inlvatierd as far as the strength of the ire woeld:permit; but' though I thus succeeded ittlesthing aritbin* a few yards of him, still I was chnipelled to remain an in active spectator O . f*ratinger,, from the difticoly of rescuing him tyttn't the aid of ropes.
