THE nU Averseness toasear-ning a Trade. t of common h There is the soundest sense in the following paragraph from the JTLanvfactufer and Builder : Why is it that there is st&eh a re- pugnance on the part of parTnts to putting their sons to a trade? A skilled mechanic is an independent reran. Go where he will, his craft will bring him support. He need favors of none. He has literally his fortune in hi$ own. hands. • Yet foolish parents—ambitious that their 'sans should "rise in the world," as they " say -are more willing that they should study for a profession, with cbareees. even of a moderate success heavily against them, or --run the risk of spending their ranhdod in the ignoble task of retailing dry goods, or of toiling laboriously at the accountant's desk, than learn a trade which . would bring them man- ly strength, health, and indepeiid-, e :ce. In point of fact, the ine�ho they choose is -the least likely to achieve the advancement aimed at ; for the supply of candidates for positions as " errand boys," dry goods clerics, - and kindred occupa- tions, is , notoriously overstocked ; while on the otit'er --hand, the" de- mand for really skilled mechanics of every description, is as notoriously 'beyond supply. The .crying need. of the country tc _ay is for skilled labor ,• and that the father who reglets to provide his son. with a useful trade, and to see that -he thoroughly ~misters it, does him a erevio as- wrong, and runs the risk of helping, by so touch, to :increase the stock of idle and dependent, if not vicious, members of society. Tt is stated is the report- of: the Prison Association, lately issued, that of 14,50(3 prisoners confined in the issnitt;ntiaries of thirty States _ 1867, saeenty-sevenas per cent., or over 10,000 of the number had never learned a trade. The- fact conveys a lesson of profound inter- th nter - ( t to� those Who have . in. charge the training of boys, and girls too, for the active duties ot life. • A Puzzling Question. be uti:ful carer.

There was an= ironmongery-. silo'', not five hbinched yards from the Cross, whey the '4 twal hours" was a popular ihstitutiou. , The pro- prietor was of rather social disposi- tion, a-nd always preferred company when enjoying the noon -day refresh- anent. One day, however, the hour, but not the man carne, and after a, aiting for a little, his patience be - saline nearly exnausted, when the countryman entered the shop for: two pounds of nails. .After the lat- ter had been served, he was asked if -he would tak' a gill. .He said "Oa 1." They accordingly adjourned to at tavern, and. after discussing the first gill, the countryman was asked if he would take another. "Oa I." After having discussed the twogills; the countryman went down the close, the nature of the coins ercial tr yin- suction puzzling his budlolic mind. He could not grasp it; and he was. heard giving utterance to his cogi- tations" i wa pun o'nails at eight- pence, and twa gills at tenpence— whar can the man's profit bel". Eyeless Fish Pond in Pennsyvnia Itis well known that great trouble and expense h:ve Leen caused by the sinking of a. portion of _ the track of the new Jefferson Railroad where it crosses a swamp in Ararat town- ship in this county. It has been found that, under the swamp is : a' .subterranean pond; of several acres in extent and of considerable depth. This pond is covered by about six feet in depth of black earth, which supports a h , vy growth of Woods. The trees ar mostly '.soft maple, pine, hemlock and birch, many of them ranging from, six inches, to three inches in- diameter.' Last Fall it was discovered that this subter- ranean anean pond contains many fish of the kind usually found in ponds in this part of the country pickerel. an `•shi lets" among others—but all without eves ! i In the d irkuess of this subterranean abode, they have no use for the organ of vision. The Ball _Fonds"' about a mile and a half distant, is now " growing over." A tousiderable part of it has become subterr mean within the last tweuty years, and, probably, before Many years it will be entirely covered like the outer. This pond is about twenty acres in extent. !For some distance from the shore it is. filled with a dense growth of water -lilies, and these, no doubt, furnish- the founslatio:n on which the superstruc- ture uperstruc-tut•e of earth is commenced.—Mont- rose (Penn.)
