We have received Vol No. !, of the "Touag
4Nech0nic's Library" published in Baltimore by
Armstrong & Berry, and edited by sshcridin Gui-
teau. This work is in the magazine form, con.
tanning sixteen pages weekly, at the very low
price of &l.25, and handsomely executed. Ihc
number before us is filled with wcll-selectcd mat
tor-biographcal sketches, and valuable hints TO
young mechanics. If the editor can persuade the
young mechanics of Baltimore that the cultivation
Of the mind is Of as much greater importance than
tickling the palate, the soul is superior to the
body-can induce them to spend their leasure
hours and money on lyceums, and lectures, and
books and useful studies, instead OF theatres, and
mint juleps. and oyster suppers and Spanish Sc
gars, he will receive, as well as deserve, the gra-
titude of his countrymen. no class of young
men are in so much danger Of making shipwreck
OF character, as Young mechanics i'll large cities.
They are surrounded on every hand by tempta-
tions, which bring distress and ruin on their vic
tins. Every attempt TO elevate their moral and


intellectual standing, should be viewed with favor
by an intelligent community, for on the mechan-


les of our cities, and the farmers of our country,
the preservation of our free Institutions and the
happiness and welfare of society, greatly depend.
They constitute the mighty frame work of the bo-
dy polite, and also furnish the means, by which
it receives all its ornament and polish Judging
by this first specn"n, we commend the " Young
Mechanics Library TO all our Young workingmcn
who aspire to an Independent and useful station
in society. II. r. Hampton, Georgetown, Agent
