Another , di ffi culty lies with the yonitgf
; men themselves. Aniong the many nits
talzen notians they entertain, none is more.
common than an extigp,erated estimate of
their own abilities. A young in in imagines
himself an orator, and straightway betakes
himself to the ministry or law. 11.1 is r's
kilned of an humble though honest occupa
tion-1k aims at somethin- mo r e honorable.
Alas! how ninny a valuable life has either
been _entirely lost or shatnefully perverted
by that tame tvord honor: This self-es
teem is laudable enough in its place, but
when it bads its possessors into extrava
gant notions of themselves and an inferior
opinion of others, it becomes intolerable.
Young men are apt to view their elders and
themselves with just stich a distortion—
trades and business for their fathers—pro
fussion for thems , •lt e•.-. We wotild - by no
means be understood as underrating the
learned processions. Far' from it ;no one
holds them in higher estimation. But we
would have every young man choose an oc
copation suited to his natural taste and
abilities, and not according to the foolish no
lion that a trade is disreputable, or that
the mere distinction of a professional title
makes the man better or more worthy of re
spect. The mechanic and the lawyerortho
de for stand on the same broad platform in
this country of Democratic Institutions, and
the one may render him3elf as worthy of
respect and eminence as the other. Our
government is no re3pecter of person.

• Soon after Peel ‘va3 born, his father, tho

that money in those peculiar days could

set him on the table, end say : Now, Robin,

Choice of Business.
I One of the greatest difficullies a voun
_
man enconnousin hi= “teens," mid :tome
! times the matter is postponed to a later peri
od, is the selection of a business fur himself.
So many relatives and friends, to say noth
ing of the scores of advisers, are to be con
sulted, and so many important interests to be
Weighed, that a trade or profession might
sometimes well nigh be learned, while de
liberations about it in. pending.
Few persons but have a natural bias for
some particular kind of occupation, and
though we would be 6'l . A - from counselling
that a young man or boy should, in all cases,
be allowed to pursue the bent of his own in
clinationi, or sufli..red to please himself only
in the choice of his occupation, still thereds
often much wisdom in parents studying the
dispositions of their children, and thereby

The chief difficulty with parents often.
times is pride. They forget to measure
their importance in the community by the
humble beginnings, and the years of labor
and economy by which it has been secured.
They desire still higher advancement for
their children, but unfortunately neglect to
school them in the principles of industry
and application, the only sure means to at

all the business qualities of the father, and
would make an excellent salesman or a firs:
rate mechanic, butia very poor doctor or an
ordinary lawyer. Hence, by his. education .

and becomes good for nothing in eithersit iy
