The Coal of tlie Country* WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. The census office has just published a report on the production of bituminous coal, from which it appears the total amount mined iu the Un'ted States during the censm vear 1880 was , 42,420,58.) tons, of which total 29,H42.24<) tons , were produced in the Appalachian coal field. Allegheny oouutv, Pa., lurnished over ono- I tenth, and the States of Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio nearly three-fourths of the entire product. The average price per ton at the , mine in 18H ) was (1.22, while in 1870 it was $1.92. nt a cost of 88 cents. Au averane of 431 53-100 tons was raised per man and 16 8 per ! cent.of the year's working time, or about twenty t days per man, was lost in strikes. Snffic eut j information was gathered to justify the a«- 1 sumption that the exhausted fields form but | a vei y small fraction of the total available | coal kind. Attention is called to the tact { that, although the value of the product has j fallen, wages have not conespondingly do- | creased, and the totals prove again nearly a ; third of a million dollars annually in favor of • labor. Anthracite product was 286,619 996 i tons, neail<r all furnished by tho State of Penn- | svlvitiiia, making the total product of the i country for the cemuis year 761,066,576 tons.

A young man in a leather store used to feel vi ry impatient with his employer for keeping him, year after year, handling hides. But he saw the use years after when in an establishment of his own he was able to tell by tlie touch the exact quality of the goods. It was only by those thousands of repetitions that the lesson was learned; and so it is with everything in which we acquire skill. The half-informed, the half-skilled, in every business outnumber the others, dozens to one. Daniel Webster onoe replied to a young mau who asked him if there was any room in the legal pro­ fession. "There is always room at the top." The better your business, the better your chance to rise. You can gather much information by making a wise use of your eyes aud ears, and per­ haps lie able to surprise your employer in an emergency by stepping iuto the " next man's " plao.*, and discharging his laties .satisfactorily ; so, learn your busi­ ness. We would guard the young against Ihe use of every word that is not strictly proper. Use 110 profane expression, allude to no sentence that will put to blush the most sensitive. You know not the tendency of habitually using inde­ cent or profane language. It may never be obliterated from your heart. When you grow up, you may • find at. your tongue's end some expression which you would not use for any money. It was used when quite young. Good men have been taken sick and become deliri­ ous. In these moments they use the most vile, indecent language imaginable. When informed of it after their restora­ tion to health, they had no idea of the paiu they had caused. They had learned and repeated the expressions in child- If mothers form tho manners of tho chi.dren, they should feel the burden at responsibility.

More lutitudo is allowed them in their actions; their independence is fostered. To be hyper- metnphorical, it may bj the vine c ing- iug to the oak j but our American bell# needs no support, and as the a^-t of biking the arm implies per se the necessity of protection, it is averse to her ilea*. Perhaps, too, it is thought to be a f-ign of ' spooniness.'
