I,llWrellancous Sclectionti, The Use. of Learning. I'm tired of going to school, said Herbert Allen to William Wheeler, the boy who sat next to him. I don't see any great use for my part, in studying geometry, and niy. vigation, and surveying and mensuration, and a dozen or other things that I am ex pected to learn. They'll never do me any good.. I'm not going to get my living as a surveyor, or measurer, or sea captain. How are yott going to get your living, Herbert his young friend asked in a quiet tone, as he looked up in hiS face. Why, I'm going to learn a trade I or, at least,.father says that I am. And so am I, replied William. And yet my father wishes me to learn everything that I can, for he assures me that it will be useful some time or other in my life. I'm sure I can't see what use I'm ever going to make, as a saddler, of algebra and surveying. • Still if we can't see it, Herbert, perhaps our fathers can for they are older and wiser than we arl. And we should endeavor to learn simply because they wish us to, if in everything we are expected to study, we do not see clearly the use. I can't feel so, Ilerbert replied, tossing his head, and I don't believe dint my father sees any more clearly than I do the use of all this, • You are Wrong to talk ;.‘o,i his friend E aid in a serious tone ; I would not think as you do for the world. Our fathers know what is best for us, and if we do not confide in them . we will surely go wrong, I Urn not afraid, responded Herbert, do , sing the hook over which he had been por ing reluctantly for half an hour, in the vain attempt to fix' a lesson on his unwilling memory ; and taking some marbles from his pocked commenced amusing himself with them. William said no more, but turned to his lesson with earnest attention. Thu flifFer ence in the character of the two buys is too plainly indicated in the brief coversation we have recorded, to need further illustration. To their teacher it was evident, in numer ous particulars in their conduct, their habits, and manners. William melted his lessons correctly, while Herbert never learned a task well. One was always punctual at school, the other a loiterer by the way: NV illiam's books Were taken tare of; Her bert's torn, disfigured and broken externally and internally. Thus they began life. The one obedient, industrious, attentive to the precepts of those who were older and wiser, and willing to be guided by them•; the other indolent, and in clined to follow the leadings . of his own will rather .than the more experienced teachings of others. As men at the age of thirty-five, we *ill again present them to the render. Mr. Wheeler Is an intelligent merchant in ac tive business, while Mr. Allen is a journey man-mechanic, poor, in embarrassed cit. , cumstances, and possessing but a small share of general inrofmation. flow do you do, Mr. A lien ? said the, mer chant, as he entered the counting room of the farmer.—The contrast in their . appear ance was very great.. The merchant was well dressed . , and had a cheerful look, While the other vas poorly clod, and seemed sad and dejected: Lath% say that I do Very *ell, Mr. Whee;; lir,. the mcchaniC replied hi a tone of des- NUMBER 37. pondency.--Work is very MI, end i4gea low, and with so large a family es k it is tough enough to get along ithder the best circumstances. I - am really sorry to hear you say . 'Sci,lVlE: Allen, replied the merchant in.ti kind Mire is how much can you earn now? • If I had steady work, I could earn `nine ` • or ten dollars a week. But our business-is very bad ; the substitution of steam erigitteti on railroads for horses on turnpikeii, hOe broken in seriously upon the harness milk; ing busineas. The c,onsequence is, that I do not average six dollars a week the Yeiti round. Is it possible that railroads' have wrought such a change in your business? Yes, the harness-makink branch of iti especially in large cities like this, *hete the heavy wagon .trade is almost entirely broken up. ' Did you say that six dollars a Week Were . . all that you could average: Yes sir. flow large is your family? I have five children, sir. • Five Children and six dollars a tireek f . That is all, sir. .But Ma dollars will no! support them, and I am in consequence gth: ing behind-hand. You ought to try to get Into some data' business. - Bat I don't know nay . Other: The merchant mused for a ivhile; toiatr. then said, perhaps I can get you into some thing better. I am president of projected - 'railroad, and 'We are about puttijig on the line a company of engineers, fo'r:tfie . pti rpbse of surveying and engineering,and tiro- • yob studied those sciences at school the atiiiiti• time I did, and I suppose haVestilla cotiei knowledge of both,l will use my influeribeitti have you appointed surveyor. The enkiti.: cet• is already choSen, and at my dosiie will give you all requisite instructions until yatt • revive your early knowledge of these mat: tors. The salary is ono hundred dcillids per month. A shadow still darker than that before . rested there, fell upon the loco off' the mechanic. Alas ! sir, he said, I have not the slighZ test knowledge. It is true I studied ot: rather pretended to study it at school, but it made no permanent impression on my mind: I saw no use in it then, and am now as norant of surveying as It I had never tailed a lesson on the subject. I am very sorry, Mr. Allen, the merchant replied, in real. concern. If ydu were ti good accountant, I might perhaps get you into a store. What is yoitr capacity in this respedt ? . , I ought to have been a good accountant; sir for, I studied Mathematics long enough; but I took little interest in figures, and now, although I was many months at school; pre: tending to study bookkeeping ; I ant utterly incapable of taking charge of a set of books Such being the case, Mr. Allen. I really do not know what I can do with you. But stay ! I an about sending out an assorted cargo to BucnoS Ayres, and thenco round to Callao, and want a Man to go fa superin tend who can speak the Spanish language. I remember ‘'t.o studied Spailiek.together: Would you he willing to leaVeliii,UT, family, and go ? The wages Will be Ono hilitrited dollars a month. I have forgotten all my SpanlSh',. sir, I did not see any use of it while school, und, therefore, it made no impression on my mind. The merchant, teally conceirted for the poor mechanic, again thought of sotno ifity to : - ..erve him. At length he said, I can think of but one thing that you can do, Mr. Allem' nod that will not be much better than mit. present employment. It is a serilidu tot which ordinary peisonS are employed, that tjf chain carrying to the surveyor Or the proposed railroad expedition. • What are the 04age sir? • Thirty-five dollars a month; And found? Certainly: I will certainly accept iri thinitfiilly: the man said. • It will be better than my rife= cent employment: Then make yoaraeliretitlY dt bike &edits' company will start In a week. I will be may, aft., (he ptiof Tulin feplied; and then withdrew. „ In a week the company ofenglheers star ted, and Mr. Allen with them as ehhin car‘ tier ; when, had he ds.d bdy; taken the ad vice of his parentS and friends,andstoxed up in his memoil, what they Wished him to. learn, he might , have filled the surveyor's office at .more than double the Wages paid him as chain carrier. Indeed, wo band& tell how high a position of usefujnoss ho might have held, had he all A'S opportunities afforded him in . ybiith. Mai he preceived the use of learning tUo late; Children.and youthcannot' bssibly know as well as theit• parents, guardians and teach,' crs, what is best for'them. 2 . Men who arc in active contact with thd world, know,that the mob eireasive their i knowledge on all subjects, the more useful they can be to others ; and the , higher and more important4ma to society theyare filled' to perform, the greater is the return to them. .elves in wealth and honor, 2 U ,J~:1 h~~ ~,''i~:.~
