the employer for the losses sustained in c,

proper knowledge of his isiness. The. apprentice is free to leave liis master am.

-employment, whenever, in his opinion, he

has collected scraps enough of superficial

knowledge to set up as an independent worker. He becomes dissatisfied with

the character of his work or the amount

of compensation, and finding other work

and larger pay. he ((uits bis master's employment just when his services have

begun to be valQable. thus committing a

fraud upon his employer and doiim a I.im.l. purtuiiy iunin.voil.

ireat injury to himself.

In no case is the term required to learn a trade, too long. According to the

value and difficulties of the business, it

varies from three to seven years, and the

most faithful and observant apprentice. after having filled his full term of ap-

prenticcship, fiuds he has much to learn

before he can honestly claim to be entire

ly and thoroughly competent, l'or at

least a few months the apprentice is a

constant source of anxiety and expense.

From want of experience, or from heed

lessness, or dislike to the particular job

given him. he breaks tools and ruins work enough in a week to cover all the

..•••.profits of bis work for months. The employer bears wiO» vb'is. patiently or im

patiently as the i.a-c m.iy be. in the hope

that during the last part of the novitiati apprenticeship he m.iy reap some return

from the profits of his work. 1'ndti

such circumstances it must be very vex

tioiis to have an apprentice leave just when lie is becoming, in some measure, useful,

Yet it is a common occurrence in this

country. Apprentices seem too often to

bo devoid of conscience and wanting in

the principles of common honc.-.iy.

Nor is such conduct of any real, per-

maneiit advantage to the apprentice. He

becomes the Hohemian of the workshop,

a waif driven hither aud thither, having

a smattering of knowledge and yet understanding no one thing thoroughly. His i.

services are not sought, lie is only al

A short time ago the workmen employed by Mr. John Hnowdon, the proprietor of the Snowdon Iron A\rorks, of Brownsville, Fayette county. made hiiu a presentation as an evidence of their respect and esteem for him as a man and employer. Fifty years ago Mr. .Snowdon came from Yorkshire, Eng., and settled in Brownsville. lie went to work as a blacksmith for one dollar per day. After a time lie started business for himself, his bed the floor, his table a box, and his seat a block. He gained slowly, until he succeeded in erecting aud putting in opertion a fouudery, machine, and pattern shop employing two hundred hands. He has built the machinery for about three hunred steamboats, some to run on the 3Ionongahela, on which Brownsville is situated, some for the Ohio, Missouri, Jlissippi, the lakes, and gunboats for the Gov-

and in that time traveled over a space

estimated at less than thirty-five thous

A magnetic storin was in progress at

the time. From the '2Sth of August to

the 4th of .September, many indications

showed the earth lo have been in a perluct convulsion of olectro-magnetisin.

When one of the observers liavo men

tioned had registered his observai ion,

lie bethought himself of sending to ew, where there are self-registerintr magnetic

instruments always at work, le.ordint' by

photography, at every instant of tho twenty-four hours, the positions of ree

magnetic needles ilillorently arrat. ed.

On examining the record of that da it was found that every moment of tim fas

Hy degrees, accounts began to pour in of

irreat Auroras seen on the nights of those

uot only in these latitudes, but at

Koine, iu the West Indie?, on the tropics

within 18° of the equator, (where they

hardly ever appear nay, what

still

more striking, in Houth A merit ml iu

Australia, where at Melbourne, on the

uiL'ht of the "JJ of September, tho jrroat est Aurora over seen there, made its ajir

pearanee. These Auroras were accompanied with utiusuulh jjiciit eleutry-iuag-ncUe disturbances in every part of the

world. In many places the telegraphic

y.'irps steely work. They had too many

private messages theii o^n to oonvpy. At Washington and Philadelphia, iij

America, the telegraphic signal men re

ceived severe electric shocks. At a sta

tion in Norway the telegraphic apparatus

was set fire to, and at Boston, in North America, a flame of fire followed the

ppn of Main's electric telegraph, which,

as iny hearers perhaps know, writes dopff the message upon chemically prepare^

paper."

Such facts as these show a marked con

nection between disturbances of the sun

which might most naturally be supposed

to involve electrical developments iu that

body, and elcctric conditions of our earth: and it is, tlioreforo, hi ro wise unfoasotj:

able to suppose that atmospheric pleetripr

ity may to a great extent, be due, direot-

ly or indirectly to the inductive influence

of the sun, aided in its effects by the

evaporative actions above described.—

Our Forests.

Our forests are fast disappearing bo. fore the insatiate cupidity of man, and

in a lew years there will be a great scarcity of firo wood and timber, if this de

struction of forests is not abated. A

man buys a farm, 011 which there is more

land than will suffice for

use, so ho

at once begins to "figuro up" how much the wood will sell for, and forthwith com

mences cutting down the trees, regardless

of all interests but his own, for the short time lie may live.

Probably 110 printed arguments will

ever stay this desolation of our forests

but a hundred years hence the owners of

farms in all the now well wooded States, will be seeking for information in

regard to

had better expend the same labor on tho

you now do in cutting down your forests,
