Under this head the Atlanta New Era, gives utterance te the following, which are aa applicable te our Augusta aa to Atlanta, and which we cheerfully endorse. The. rich man can do much for the good of the community*, if he haa the right sort of public spirit, but the main stay of aociety iaita bone and sinew, its mechanics; Knowing this, how careful of their conduct, of their good example, of their education ought to he this class of people. They should spare no pains to fit themselves for the high position to which the working man really belongs. The Era says: Shoddy may turn np his noso at the smell of the workshop, and lay his kid glove,lightly in the hand of the horny fisted son ol toil; but fur all that the mechanics are among the stoniest props of the social fabric. Some’ of the most prominent luminaries in the world’s gal lery of science have strode from the work shop of lame. Roger Sherman found it no aisgrace to be reminded ot the lap- Utone on which be hammered out his fortune. The humble’Collier who ap plied steam to the purpose of l..nd trans portation is a greater benefactor to the human race than half the millionaires of the world. The great instrument which bring* planets within reach almost of as tronomers was invented over the loom of Dolland, the London weaver, who was too poor so afford a tallow dip to furnish light for the prosecution of his studies. Hugh Miller, a stone cutter, has enriched science by the tremendous truths that he quarried from the earth. Clark Mills, an humble house p’asterer, ranks among the first artists in the world. Few who are familiar with the name of Sir Humphrey Davy, know that at one time he was a boot-black and. errand boy in the Royal Academy, in which he was first Professor when he died. The great philosopher of onr country was at one time nn humble disciple of ‘‘tbe art preservative,” yet he drew a voice from the thunder storm which is now breath ing intelligent whispers throughout the length and breadth of the civilized world. The list could be pursued further— for names iu it are legion—but it is unnecessary. The examples we have given are sufficient to prove that no man is humbled by his vocation ; that from some of the most menial employ ments have arisen geniuses which as tonished the world with their brilliancy. But apart Irom these prominent ex amples, mechanics, as a mass, are among the most useful and profitable members of society. Whether hewing the beam, rearing the massive walls, shaping the shoe or heavy bnr, delving in mines, guiding the engine on his track, or toiling amid the heat and smoke of the furnace, they are the Architects of oar social fabric, and oc cupy positions entitled to the highest consideration. Their's is an indepen dence of heart and hand. They shape their own fortunes, and shape the des tiny and influence of a country or com munity. The sweat which streaks their brows brings an emolument of wealth to the society in which they reside. Show us a city where there is a large element of mechanics, and we will show yoo on* that is in a high degree pros perous. Onr own city is an evidence of this. We have among us not less than five thousand mechanics, and it is ad ‘ mitted by all parties that we are going forward with marvelous strides. . Mechanics 4|re a direct sonree of revenue. They attract money to their community, and disburse it among home tradesmen. -Deprive-Atlantaol’this class of her population, and it would have a woeful effect upon her trade. Their hebdomedal or monthly expenditures fcdejr;[ai| almost incredible ameunt of money in circulation, and is the support of many prosperous merchants. W* are not of those who look upon the roeehanio as an under-member of society. We see in him a far different being—one whose horny hand and sooty face « badge of honor—whose strong arm- is a capital -that returns a divi dend of real worth and unimpeached honor. . > TbuTaot 04 WvtfK.v.—A great deal of the unselfishness and consideration) and tact of women is the result of long •hyys speat id humoring the moods and noting the caprices and studying the tastes of those with whom they have been thrown in contact during their girlhood and their youth.
