Wilson, in hi American Ornithology, say that crows have been employed lo catch crows, by me loiioning s raiagem: a live crow is pinned' by the wings down to the grurind on his liack. by means ot two sharp fork e.l .ticks. Thus s.luated, his cries are loud and incesnant, p articularlv when any other crows ate in view. These, ovecp. ing down about him, are instantly grab bed and beld fat by the prostrate pri soner, with the same instinctive impulse that urge a drowning man to grasp at every thing whhia bis reach. The game being disengaged from his clutches, the trap is again ready for another experi meat; and by pinning down each captive successively, as soon as taken, in a short j" pi-'wiuiy nave a MlgP Qa, iv 81 reaming about you, in concert i it h the outrageous prisoner below Tlii lyethod of catching crows, i, I be lieve. practiced in some part of England to catch jays, who make a inot violent outcry when pinned to the ground. Mechanics It i unfortunately the fact, i hat too many parents look upon mechanical employment a degrading, and prefer that their sons should be quacks and pettifoggers, rather than use lul and tespectahle mechanics; hence it is. thit our countiy i overrun with men calling themselves lawyers and doctors, who ate the very tail of their respective professions, hut who, if their talents oi the bent of their genius had been consult ed, would have made excellent mechaa-

s, and have ri-en to wealth and an in .lnei.tial and respectable plare in Society . 'ut an absurd prejudice, or dislike to the arne ol mehauic, has domed them to '. life of comparative poverty m d msig .iticiince. Sui h men do not reflect, that f they possess talent, combined with in Insiry and a disposition to seek informa ion. they may rise to eminence, uct ilhstanding they may wear the apron d a mechanic , instead of the gown of 'he lawyer. Who were Franklin Kit 'enhmise, Roger. Shermen, and a host of other?? They were, mechanics; but they became philosophers and statesmen, and established a name which will endure ae long- as time shll last. That parents should seek to place their children in those occupations which pro use the greater tieedom from toil, is perhaps, the dictate of natural affection, What we loe, we aie pained o see en g-iged in laborious daty. But it is after all. a mistaken view It is not to be doubted that habit can render aoy ocru pation, if not agieeable, yet free from toil The nnth whoe anvil r0oune with the hammer; the carpenter, the he ship builder, the art'zan, are all happier than the man who has no em plnyment. Rut this is not all. How I'pw of those, who are aligned to tvh-e are called the learned professions, ever attain t either distinction or usefulness and of the vast number that hang on the tear of the bar like "Lettie's sable el tiid in the Western honizon. and of those again who have engaged in the de li-ate and reponible ail of healing the ick, or of those who rill ike saared oesk. how many. We ask, ever confer benefit upon either themselves or t'netr count ry ? Rot again The gteat ol ict f the parent is frustrated that is the huppi ness of the child. The veiy coatrarv is ministered to. The question is one of absolute idleness and comparative labor. Idleness none will commen I. It is the rust of the son! the fruitful mother of misery and vice the foul pool in which all that is disgusting and hateful is en gendered the Lazer house he very lace of disease and corruption. Cow per personifies an idler thus he is "A clock that wants botk hands, As use!$s3 whea ho goes as when he stands.1 Again, "Absence of occupation is not rest, A rnh't! quite vacant, is a mind distressed." nd yet how many pareuts Kre there, who briag up their children in idleness! And yet thev will tell you, "we luvs our children!'''' Nothing, surely, can be more paradoxical Such as ee the evil of idleness, eee& to avoid tiie t x it pajs, by finding Rome employment; but it asnsl come as near to idleness as po-sable, since hoar of any kind is supposed to be afflictive. Hence we see agiicultural and mechanic arts avoided ; and any. and every place sought after rather than the v inuous. healthful useful and honorable employment of the agfricullufst or tho roe hanic! And then Comes our distinction in sociply, based upon this frivolous aed sickly feeling of attachment for our children. A mechan ic. because he get bis bread by the 'sweat of his brow.1 i not considered a good as a man who is too proud to lab"i. who goes about 'picking clean teptU.i have nothing to eat; and wealing, per haps, a fashionable coat, which, when bought, he never meant to pay for, and giving in his very giit and looks, proof of hi blond and will sometimes go no far to speak of its richness and punty and to thank God he is not like other men th c?c me e'l a n ics ! Such a state of society i not n whole some one. ll bptokens decay. It indi cates thxt the pillar on which rest the fabric of our government, and the tern pie of our liberty, and the social relation are in a tottering state, and unless they are sustained by something more nbilo sophical and prertical, they will fall! Away then, with this sickly sensibility this worse than canine madness Let parents look to the subject. Let them bear in mind that Paul the Apostle was a tent maker, and that Ren Franklin was a ii inter, and that from the work chop have gone, in all ages, to the senate house and to the field some ef the great est and best men the .woild has ever known. Hindoo snperslition.T)r Poraasald: In a journey throngh the Peninsula of India, he saw one day a female about 15 years age lying dead on the threshold of her parent's door, and the body was yet warm, fie asked what had occasioned the death of the girl, and learned that she had been bitten by a Cobra Capello, a snake, whose bile generally produced death in twenty minutes. It had taken up its abode in the house, and Lad that day happened to creep out of its hole, and bit the deceases! girl. He asked if the snake had been killed, on which Ihe mother replied with a degree of horror in her countenance, that if this snake were killed, tvery ether member of the family would die.
