Errors- The follnwinn essfiy was writt rt n h? a young lady at Waco University, Texas. It is worthy of petusal j N' W there are imifiy, great, *nd of out* kinds. S me are errors committed by in lividuals. (I never commit any myself, and therfi-re, think I’m competent to act as corrector.) Others, are errors into which the community in general, are likely to fall. It is of thesp latter, I wish more especially to speak. Not so as those into which our country are likely to fall, but those into which* it has already fallen ; and so low, that I fear it will never rise. I imagine I can hear you saying to yourselves, ”0h ! I yes, now she is going to rail on intemper ance, darning, gambling, or something of that kind : ’ ‘'But “she” is not going to do anything of the sort. Just wait, you’ll see what or who, “she” is going to rail against. ; I fully expect my young lady friends will I open their eyes in holy horro**, when they hear the statement I am about to make, viz i that one of the greatest errors of the day, in my estimation, is the mania that young men have f.-r professions, and young ladies for those who follow them. For myself, I look upon the greater num ber nf professional men as iitterally noth ing but “ professors aid yet, in the opin ion of our aristocratic young ladies, (fine judges) they are a second-class professional man. (about the last thing I know of.) is far preferable to a first-class farmer or mechan ic. Isn’t that an error? Yes, and a most glaring one. The contempt in which farmers and nr echanics are held, is having a runious effect on our c uritry. Just look at our young men. The first thought after they leave college, which many do, before they have half completed their course, is, what profession shall I choose?” And forthwith they begin to strut ab »ut in “ store clothes and Carry big calf-bound books under their arms, and perhaps a mite or two of their cont nts in their heads, and proceed t - pro- Jess Beware! girls, they will profess a good deal o you that they don’t mean ; thinking you will be silly enough to beleive them—arid most of you will, just because vou think it sounds so fine to reply to the question ; “who is that youug gentleman 'fiat i- with you so much ? * Oli, lie is a young doctor, or someone, in the profession al line. Di<l you never notice that the first question a girl asks about a man, is, “wtiat is he?” and wh is it that our young men seek thus after a profession? or anything 'hat is, as they think, above a mechanic? Sunply because the women of our land look down on such ; and deny as they may, men are the verier slave to the smiles of women, and not the most Sensible ones eith er, that is the worst of it. They prove this fact daily by the way they act. For instance, by setting up to be doctor after reading medicine about e year, and attending a few lectures ; and they think the M. D., thus obtained, is all that is nec essary to secure them one of the high places in society, and in a great measure, they are correct. Is this right? Is not this tin error? These M. D’s will entertain one mostly, by talking obout their numer tus patients. The greater Dumber of them they w ill tell you, are very severe cases Upon investigation, if you will but take the trouble to do so. you will find to be mostly “unbleached Americans,” dwelling in the aristocratic regions, bordering on ihe river, or some of the suburban sttlements of the city. These deciples of E-culapius will come into church late, just returned from a professional visit, will frequently leave church during service been Culled away you know—perhaps, paid the “runer” the last dime they had Such things are often done, to my certain knowledge. Such a man is far superior to an industrious farmer or mechanic is’ot he? Everyone to his taste! Then look at our yohng lawyers ; I mean the second class ones. Oh. they are such a noble set of chaps 1 ! Just see them rushing to and f’rt m the Court House, with grent robs of papers, tied with red tape, in tlo ir hands, and a law book or two under their arms. £ee that frown on their intellectual brows (if their glossy tressels are not combed so low as to hide said brows), trying to look troubled as if some momentous case was pending, and talking about “our case,” particularly if some girls (fashionable ones, of < ourse,) happen to be passing near. How much do you suppose such men make a y*-*ar?—not euough to keep them in tobacco, (for they are sure to smoke) at least not by their prafession. I have heard of other wavs by which such men make money and then once in a while paternal ancestors give them a little change. Would it not be better for about half of them to learn B"me good trad«* instead of crowding the law until there is nothing to be made at it? T 8 indeed, and I think many oft( em woo and, w T ere it not for our contemptible, pr ui girls, w ho would, as they well km w, sc rn them Oh I what an error. Then, our dry goods clerks—l d< n’t mean all, for there are exceptions to every ru e—what dear lirile creatures they are 1 Look at their lbtle white handr! their huge crav;its! their perfumed handkerchiefs ! their getting up in general ! Now don’t you admire those wielders of the yard stick, those calico tearers 1 There is so mnch in their business to elevate the miml and make them manly ! You girls Woold rather marry one of them than the stalwart mechanic whose sinewy arm has created these noble edifices which beautify our city. Is not this an error of taste? I don't see how any sensible person can think other wise. This order of town clerks is my special abomination. I don’t fancy any thing on the bandbox style. But you sav mechanic are so rough and uneducated. Very true, most, of them are, hut why? be cause every youth who can equecz- himself into a store as clerk, at about S2O per month, or get to be office boy for some doc tor or lawyer, will do so rather thafi leffrn a trade, for for by so doing he knows he will sign his death warrant to society. Is not this an error ? The farmers and me chanics arc the heart of our nation, and when the heart ceases to heat, death ensues. So. if those noble classes of our citizens cease to strike, our professional men may as well take in their shingle. Now for our Professors of Literature, or iu other words, our Teachers—but I'm most afraid to say much ab ut them, for whatever way I <ook, I see one of these ominous beings looking under his brows at me—it is a way fhey have —but there is nothing like bearding the lion in his den. So I will proceed. I look upon teachers, in general, ns a set of humbugs, here are ex ceptions, of course, Prof. B, for instance; I don’t like to be too personal. B may stand for a heap of names. I consider him perfection personified, but then teachers are mostly a self conceited, pedantic, ego tistical class of people. Why, one won't he in a room ten minutes without showing his nr her calling (the women ate worse than the men). Er my part I don't see why a professor wants to be always propounding mathematical problems or asking questions in grammar, nor why a doctor should be forever feeling one’s pulse. But let us drop teachers, I don’t like the topic. Poor things ! I reckon they are a necessary evil! Yen, I am going to say something about preachers, too, they shan’t go scott free, no indeed, but I’ll handle them gently (for they won’t bear close inspection). On the while, I think preachers are a very good sort of oiks, but many of them are eeif riglue >us ph»risees, and I fear some tiy that calling when they fail at all others, but enough of them. Now, in the foregoing, I have had refer ence only to our second-class professional men, and only as certain classes of clerks ; of course, I don’t pretend to say they are all of that stamp ; but, following a profes sion is getting to be such a desease, that the greater number of professional men are de cidedly second-class, and sadly effected with the enlargement of the head—not from growth of brain, however. I hope, sincere ly hope, that the time will come when our farmers and mechanics will be able to bolu their places in society besides the first of the land, and if We want an educated, in telligent class of working men, we, the Wo men of the country, must cease to look upon work as a disgrace—which is a most egreg ious error—but respect, honor men that wi rk, and then young men of mind and culture will not object to learning a trade. We tire the ones on whom the duty of ele vating the working class of men devolves. Then let us at once, commence the work of reformation, it is leap year and we can send our cards to our working friends ; but don’t let u& put on any extra airs, such as please our professional chaps, for they will have too much sense to admire that sort ot thing, and dou’t let us treat them in a con descending manner, for I tell you, that don’t do ; but let us act a true woman, and show to the world that we appreciate the jpwel, be the setting never so humble. One more caution; When you are entertaing in your parlor, a beau that makes and honest living by the sweat of his face, and it be comes necessary fur you to leave for a short time to assist in some domestic concerns— if indeed, you are competent to render any assistance—don’t tell him a lady wishes to see you, or something equally as false, he won’t think any the less of you because you know how to work—your doctor, or lawyer beau, might—bur, you have taught them to look down on work. But mark me, if vou marry a laboring man, your cbanc**, for work are mueh iess than they would be were you to marry a second class profes sional man. Now girles, let us pick out a first-class mechanic or farmer, lor a sweetheart, cul tivate him for a year, and see, if, at the end of that peri* and, ha is not equal to a second- rate professional man—not a hard ta>k I fancy. What say you ? Uommon Sense. The man who on his wedding day starts as a lieutenant in the family will never get promoted. “Where have you been since the cow kicked ?” is a delicate way the Chicagoans have of referring to the late calamity. A greenhorn was offered, at a pub ic table, a plate of macaroni soup, but declin ed it, declaring that they “c -uidu’t play any biied pipc*stezus on him.’ 1 Tlic Ticlibornr laic.l Paralln la Uror- Klu. e clip the following item from the Sa vannah Republican of Monday last: There is a reinnrkab’e resemblance in nil their singular features, between the Tichborne case in England, that has been exciting so much interest on both sides of the Atlantic fur several in >nths past, and one which occurred in this State some twenty-five fears ago. We think Jones county was the theatre. ‘ A wealthy man named Bunkley had among other children, a son named Jesse, who was of a wild, restless disposition, and, when a boy, suddenly disappeared. Years passed, and no intelligence was received from the wonderer. In the course of time Bunkley, senior, sickened and died, having in disposing of his property by will, made provision for the absent son in the event that he shoul 1 re-appear, though everybody believed him dead. The estate was ad ministered, and the property divided among the legatees, or at least, those who were known to be In life. Many years afterwards—we do not know how long—a man appeared who represent ed himself to be Jesse Bunkley, who, after a long residence in Texas, hearing of the death of his father, came forward to claim his inheritance, In appearance he was about the man Jesse Bunkley, hoy, should have made. Many win) knew Jesse Bunk ley testified that they recognized the man and even Mrs. Bunkiey, who was still liv ing. at one time thought she recognized in him her long-lost son. He was thorough ly familial with almost every little incident in the life of young Bunkley, his habits, his schoolmates, the Various localities which he was in the habit of frequenting, and even with the residents of the neighborhood in the days When Bunkley was a boy. To all this we may add the remarkable fact that scars and marks on his person corrcs ponded exactly with those known to be on the person of Bunkley. The remainder of the heirs, however, re fused to recognize his claim, and he accord ingly brought suit in Jones Superior Court fur his full share of the estate. The case was a long and severely litigated one, en gaging, on either side, some of the best 1 -gal tilent of the State, and some of the developments were most remarkable, so much su that public opinion was staggered and greatly divided of the claimant’s iden tity with Jesse Bunkley. The cause, though, eventually went against him and was soon followed by a criminal prosecu tion, which resulted in a verdict of guilty and sentence to the penitentiary, whero he served out his full term. What became of him afterwards, we never heard. “Ilow exactly does this history tally with that of the Tichborne claimant, who after a long struggle in the civil court, now fiuds himself a prisoner in Newgate. Tlie Death-rate* An examination of life statistics of the census of this country and of Uurope re veals many interesting particulars. The number of deaths in Europe every year is 1 out of every 42 inhabitants, or 2 38 100 per cent., nearly double the average death rate in the United States, which is 1 for every 81 inhabitants, or 1 23-100 per cent. 1 he leading countries of Europe presents the following annual bills of mortality : Inhabitants.
