WORTH MAKES THE MAN.-Worth makes
the man; not wealth, nor dress, nor parade.
You will find more real manliness, more sound
sense, more loveiness of Character, in the
humble walks of life, than was ever dreamed
of in the circles of fashion, of pride, of wealth,
of Chesterfedan rules Of politeness. When
a man of sense-no matter how humble his
origin, or lowly his occupation, may appear IN
the eyes of the vain and foppish-is treated
with contempt, he will soon forget it. but he
will put forth all the energies of his mind to
rise above those who thus look down in scorn
upon him. By stunning the mechanic, we
exert all influence derogatory to the honest


labor and make it questionable for young men
to learn trades, or labor for support. Did
our young women realize that for all their
parents possess, they are indebted to the me-
chanic, it would be their desire to elevate him
and encourage his visits to their society, while
they would treat with scorn, the sponger and
the we'll dressed pauper. On looking back a
few years, our most fastidious ladies can trace
their genealogy from some humble mechanics,
who perhaps in their days were sneered at by
the proud and foolish, while their grandmothers
gladly received them to their bosoms. s.-Joseph
