according to tbe report o f the Prison Associa
tion just issued, 77 per cent., more than three-
quarters, had not learned a trade. Here is a
text from which Dr. Franklin could have
preached a forcible sermon to parents. A man
who has a good trade baa an independence. He
has need only to be honest and diligent to se
cure a competence. Bread and butter are sure
for hint wherever he is. He is sure always of
higher wages than be who has no trade; and
if bis genius and enterprise lead him into some
other calling, it js always a satisfaction to know
tbat in case of misfortune be can return to his
trade. He has that at any rate; failure jn bus
iness cannot deprive bim of it, his speculations
may break down, but be baa an anchor to lee
ward, as the sailors sa y ; his subsistence and
tbat of his family are sure. In this country,
where fortunes, quickly gained, are also quick
ly lost, it is still more necessary and prudent
tbat every young man should learn a useful
trade, and learn it thoroughly. No man’s Tature
is so secure here but that be would do wisely to

ter— learn a trade.
