TO THE. YOUNG OF BOTH BEXES,
It is of great importance that persons
in early life should prepare themselves for
the part they are to act in society. There
is a strong desire in both - sexes to rise to
respectability, and this is highly commend
able; but many persons err in their attempts
to gain their object.
A principal cause of the failure of young
people to reach the object of their desire,
is, the attempt to get rich without labour.
In this way, they often aim at an object
without the means to accomplish it. Thus,
for many years past, young men have en- .
tered on business with borrowed capital, to
an extent never before known; they have
calculated on profits which are precarious;
they have neglected to calculate the chan
ces of sudden declensions in business; they
have entered upon housekeeping with ex
travagant purchases of furniture; they have
mostly failed, and reduced themselves and
families to poverty. The failures and the
distress which have occurred in this count
ry within a few years exceed every thing
probably that ever before happened.
Young friends, learn wisdom- It is not
the order of ProvidenCe that mankind should
have blessings and prosperity without labor.
It is best for mankind that this should be
the order of things; good moral habits are
formed by industry; sudden acquisitions of
property tend to prevent the formation of
such habits; they are often ruinous to such
morals. Moderate acquisitions of proper
ty generate good habits—the habits of pru
dence, of foresight and correct calculations
of what is practicable.
The desire of reaching a respectable
standing in life has led many to renounce
labor for books, with the expectation that
they can live by learning. But the num
ber of persons who can gain subsistence by
learning is comparitivelv small. The pro
fessions are full to overflowing; unless that
of the,gospel ministry can be excepted.
By far the greatest part of mankind are des.
tined to labor, without which society can;
not be supported. -
la forming a plan of business for life,there
fore, the find requisite is to determine the
course to be pursued, the occupation which
is to be followed, and then to devote all poss
ible attention to gain the qualifications essen
tial to succeed in Mat occupation. In this
prelimminary to success, persons very of
ten make great mistakes.
If a young man is to be a farmer, he must
begin when a boy and continue in that busi
ness. He must gain knowledge by expe
rience, and muscular strength by labor.
Books and learning will never wake far
mem.
If a man is . to be a mechanic, he must
begin his art when young, and persevere in
it, mid be thoroughly master of over) part
of his businees. Books and learning e •

ably no coantry presents so many instances
of young persons Of both sexes educated
above their condition, as the United States.
Many persons and families, within the
knowledge of the writer, have been ruined
or doomed to struggle with adversity all
their lives, from this mistake. They begin
wrong; they expect to be gentlemen and la
dies without the means of supporting them.
selves in such a style.
Equally mistaken are many of the daugh
tars of poor families. Some of them enter
manufactories, where they get good wages
and dress id rich attire; neglecting to gain
ethorough knowledge of house keeping,
the very knowledge which they most want
to insure them a good settlement. Young
men of industry want wives that are good
house- keepers.—They do not seek females
for their dexterity in tending spools; but for
those who are accustomed to ell the work
of a family, and economical use of money.
Such wives are useful auxiliaries in suppor
ting 'a family: such as are not accustomed
to house-work often check or prevent the
prosperity of their husbands; sometimes
they ruin them.
Much less do men, in the ordinary oc
cupations of life, seek for females who have
studied geometry, algebra, rhetoric, zoolo
gj and the •higher mathematics, Such
sciences, are of no use to them, in discharg
ing their duties as wives '
mothers, or house
keepers, they are soon fo rgotten, and if not,
never used; nor do they ever become sub•
km of conversation. In the crw.° we
intrty years' otiservation, the writer has
never known a female thus educated to
make the least use of such sciences; not
even in the families of the affluent. Books
on such subjects, read in after life, for the
purpose of gratifying curiosity or enlarging
the knowledge of the works of Natureansy
be useful for these purposes among those
who have leisure; but not being 'necessary
to qualify females for their dutiee, should
not be a part of school - education. ,
In no particular is the folly of females
more remarkable than in their estimation
of labor. They seem to think it disgracing
to labor in the family, as domestics, when
they will labor in manufactories, without
objection. They -do not consider that _the
proper sphere of females is in the family,
and that they cannot,fill that sphere,_- with
out serving an apprenticeship, and that
they should no more disdain it, than young
men should disdain to be apprentices to me
chanics. The young of both sexes must be
subordinate to those who are older, for tt
is from the experience of older persons that
they are to qualify themselves to be re
spectable masters, and mistresses them
selves. Girls who have no property should
seek to be domestics for two or three years,
in respectable, well-ordered families: for it
is in these they are to learn, not only to do
all kinilsolwork, but to improve their minds
and their manners. It is the best, it not
the only chance which many of them can
have, thus to improve, and become respect.
able mistresses of families.
All young persona should have a com
petent English education, and for this pur
pose they should have access, not only to
the Bible, but the best writings of Watts,
Addison, Cowper and Hannah Moore. In
wealthy and well conducted families the
poorest girls have this advantage. By
avoiding domestic service, they deprive
themselves of advantages which they can
never have in any other business. The
pride of females often condemns them to
poverty and a single life. Many and many

real personal comfort to be derived from
a gin sling than a clean shirt, and that bran.
dy and water, taken inside, is at all times
preferable to soap and water used outside.
Tom's hair was strong and bristly, and
steed out from his head like the wires on
one of those machines invented by the Hu

forehead was like a pattern piece of English
corduroy, with the stripes running cross.
Ways; his eyes were like the orbits ofa boil

of a bunch ofgrapes over a tavern door,and
his mouth might be mistaken for the min

" What is your question, individual?"

little sharp.featured woman, in a shrill treble
voice, something like the whistle of the
Pontcbartrain locomotive. "He was out

"0, there she is again," said Tom, who
seemed to start at the sound of her voice, as
