You are ! considering the question whether you shall | take him out of sehool and put hbim into | business. In the shop he can earn his livâ€" iing at once. In echool he costs you from $300 to $800 n year. Even if he goes to ' a public school his board at home costs ' something and he earns nothing. And what is the use of hislearning Latin, Greek ’md algobra for the practical affairs of life ? He can read and speak the English lanâ€" guage correctly ; why not apprentice him to a trade and lét him begin? Shall I keep him in school or put him to business ? This is a question a great many fathers are conâ€" sidering this year and every year. Keep him in school. He that apprentices his boy chooses his eareerfor him ; and no man knows enough ‘ about either his boy‘s nature orhis futare | to make such a choice wisely. Some men | have to make it ; that is their misfortune ; it ought not to be your choice. If he is lput mto a stocre it is very unlikely he will ever become a lawyer ; if into a lawyer‘s ’ofiice it is Lardly probable that he will | omerge & civil engineer,. By putting him | into business you decide what business be | shall go into. But you can no more tell what your boy of fourteen ought to be at forty than you can tell what an unlabelied paper of seeds will become if planted. He| is a mere bundle of possibilities. ‘What life has in store for him you carnot forsee. Who could bave guessed that the cannl boy of forty odd years ago needed to be cducat ed to be Senator and perhaps President of the United States? Who could bave foretold that the Irish school teacher halin century ago was to be the greatest retail and wholesale merchant in the ~world ? Who can tell what Providence has in store for your boy? > What he needs for his highest measure of success is such an eduâ€" cation that he may be able to do with his might whatever his hand finds to do ; and therefore he needs to have every might in him well developed. Education does not merely ‘fit men for their station ; it shows them whatistation they are fitted for.â€" It designates mon by doveloping them. Ed. ucation of men is like cultivation ‘of the soil it shows what possibilitics there are in them.

The truth appears to be that England has had ite rack‘taking Iand owners as well as Iro# land, and in both countries the rackâ€"renters are likely to suffer from the agitation, 6 English Jand ownersâ€" are becoming searâ€" ed and not without reasons. On one farm, in Berkshire, the rent used to be £225, and now it is reduced to £60; on another in North Wilts the rent was £670 previous to the recent bad seasons, and it is now only 4815 ; while a ftarm in South Wilts that was rentedâ€"at £500 is now let for £200, and soofus of similar cases of reduction are A tragical event vecurred in the Basilica at Ottawa on Friday, Jan. 13th. It appears that seryice was being held in the basoâ€" ment, principally attended by ladies. A man named Waleh, who had been sufferâ€" ing from delirium tremens, was present, and, with a comjanion, disturbed the proâ€" csedings. A constable v~â€" sent for, and on liis arrival Walsh shot himself in the temple and dropped dead. As quickly as possible Dr. Valade was summoned, and wheh he arrived the wounded man‘s pulse was till beating. ~The seat and floor was crimeoned with ‘his blood. He died in a few minutes after, The affair occassioned grent ercitement among the members of the congregation worshipping in the Basilâ€" ica. In its purely economical aspect the higber and brovder education ""pays." There must always be hewers of wood and drawers of water. But the supply will alâ€" ways equal the demand. ‘The merchant is more than a salesman, the mechanic is moré than a carpenter, a mason or & plumbâ€" er, the agrioulturist is more than a digger in the dirt ; if you want your boy to be that something more, strain every nerve and every resource, if need be, to keep him at school as long as he is learning there, and to give him as high and broad an eduâ€" eation as the abilities which he has inhoritâ€" ed from you enable him to appropriate and utilize.â€"Advance. We diseuss this question of school or business on a purely bread and butter basis. We ignore the eonsiderationâ€"a vastly higher considerationâ€"that life is more than Lbusiness, and that to be a man is more than to be a merchant or a meâ€" chanic. Nor should it be forgotten that the true object of education is not learning, but ability. ‘The well educated man has learnâ€" ed something more than Latin, Greek and algebra; he has learned how .to learn, which is far more important. The supremâ€" est ability of life is the ability to acquire new knowledge readily and to use it promptly, aud he who has spent ten years in learning must be au extraordinary fool if he has not in that time learned how to learn. This is none the less true because there are some extraordinary fools. It is the broad man who generally finds "room at the‘top." Education nsually imâ€" parte genius ; geningsometimes serves in lieu of eduication ; Lut, as‘a rule, it is the well educated men who sre top men. The man who is master of many crafts is the only man who is really master of any crait. The nmian who knows how to drive a nail but not how to solder a joint may be ‘a (| good‘earpenter, but he will never be an architect or a builder. All professions reâ€" quire for the best and highest success an encysloprmedic knowledge. ~It is . conceded that winisters, lawyers and doctors should have a libéral education ; but why not as well merchants, mechanies and farmers ? The successful merchant is not amere pedâ€" dler with an empirical skill at driving a bargaim; he is a master among men ; and ho must know the laws of tradeâ€"that is 'political economy‘; the earth and its proâ€" ductsâ€"that is, physical geography ; the management of menâ€"that is, practically, mental and moral philosophyâ€"and must be a skilled literateur, for to write a good busiâ€" ness letter |requires as much business facilâ€" ity with the pen as to write a good editorial. The successful meehanic ought to know the science of forcesâ€"physics, chemistry and ' natural puilosophyâ€"or he will be building a Gilmore‘s Garden wall to tumble down : on the heads of the dancers, to his amazeâ€" ) ment and other people‘s indignation. = We | I hope the day is not ftar distant when ouri colleges‘ will send some of their ~men into the bnitding business, and /We ‘can have plumbing: fnd carpentering bossed by brains. The farmer ought to be a chemist| knowing the constituents of both soils and ' plants; and a physiologist, knowing the | ‘organisims of animals and the laws of| their hbealth and the nature of their diseasâ€" | | es ; and the merchant, knowing the needs | of a changing market and how to manufacâ€" ture for, it. . For the highestâ€"sceceas every | vocation requiresevery knowledge ; no true | learning comes amiss. The mau who knows | how to doâ€"only a single thing can never be | master of any art ; for beâ€"can never direct | many men how to do many things. 8 *hard times." 3/The man who has but ons spring on his place may goâ€"thirsty in a drought; not so the man who has a score.

Into one of these it enters as the arsenite of copper, known popularly as Scheele‘s green, and into another as the acetoâ€"arsenite of coppor, which is called , Bclhweinfurt green. The generic name of emâ€" erald or mineral green is apphed indifferâ€" ently to either. Of these two colors, the | first contains fiftyâ€"five per cent., more than ‘ome half of white arsenic ; the other in ‘every one hundred grains, contains forty. ‘eight grains of arsenic. Both pigments . ‘furnish the prettiest and most durable of | green, each costs comparatively little, and ‘the process of manufacture does not require !great skill. Hence, in spite of their deletâ€" erious effects, both are used. At one time, Iiu Paris, when it was proposed to make the use of arsenic illegal in the manufacâ€" ture of wall paper and artificial flowers, certain of the makers said such a law ’would force them to close their shops ; and in 1860 a paper maker in England said that in his shops alone two tuons of arsenic were used weekly. With these general remarks, let us proâ€" ceed to view our subject under various asâ€" pacts in the utilities of life.â€" Doubtless, these facts are curious and worthy of our: investigation ; but in our proceeding to examine into them, we do not originate a new inquiryâ€"the subject is lmot new ; more than one hundred years + ago the use of arsenic as a pigment in cerâ€" 'hin mauufactories was forbidden by law in France. But the beauty and Lealthfulâ€" ness to the eye, of the color, and the thoughtlessness or cupidity of makers of wall paper, artificial flowers, toys, and lamp shades, confectionery, and other a.r-i ticles, render it necessary to warn the pubâ€" ; lic again and again . of the. injuryâ€"someâ€" times a fatal oneâ€"inflicted by its use. ‘ Arsenic is taken by some of the fair sey in small doses to improve their beauty and it does so to a wonderful degree but often with fatal results as death is sometimes the 1 outcome of the practice. â€"Along with other poisons, arsenic: is uséd ‘by confectioners and mannifucturers of toys for cliildren to ornament their respective products with j various : attractive colorsâ€"candies, pastry l ornaments and toys are colored with them, / articles that soon find their way to . the | children‘s :mouths. â€" Toyâ€"boxzes of w&hr, eolors firnish an illustration. .One of the green blocks of paint, weighing 88â€"26 grains on analysis was found to contain 8â€"89 grains of arsenio. . The shelves in closets and panâ€" triee are sometimes covered with arsonic paint, from which the poison is easlly abâ€" sorbed by any warm or moist substance. The brilliant ‘green paper so common for ; covering pasteboard boxes, for tickets, for | bonbon wrappers, for lamp shades, is colâ€" ored with arsenic. ‘The green of artificial | grass and leaves is generally produced by | arseni¢. â€" In one:case, in a single twig of|â€" twelve leayes, ten grains of pure arsenic ; were found. _ Poisonous substances are made to contriâ€" bute to the interests of some, and to miliâ€" tate against the interests of others. Btryeâ€" nine is to a great extent used by tavern keepers in the dilution of their liqnors with water, that the liquor so diluted, may have a pungent taste and from this trick in the trade, great injury is vlone to the constitution of men, who indulge in tae free use of such pernicious beverages. a number of sempetresses have Poisonous..
