An advertisement in the Trilune for an office boy will he answered before 19 o’clock by not less than 100 appli cants, and if the place be left open a week the number who will seek it will not fall much short of 500. This is not only true of Chicago, but of all other large cities. There are daily hundreds of boys here, from fif teen to eighteen years of age, who go from store to store and office to office, anxiously and often piteously seeking employment. It is sometimes assert ed that these boys are idlers, and that if they wanted to work for a living they would hire themselves out to learn some useful trade. But the statement is not true. Assuming that there are fivo thousand boys in Chica go oi a proper ago to learn a mechan ical trade, and they were all presented to the employers, it is not likely that muro Hi an a thousand could hud an employer who dare give him a place. The right to apprentice oneself and to learn a trade is no longer recognized in the United States. Boys may pre sent themselves by legions—employers can not take them except at tho risk of closing their shops and having no other workmen Tho trades-union of the country have enacted laws which exclude all but a limited number of boys from the mechanical trades. Each trade has prescribed the number of apprentices who shall be permitted to work. This number varies in tho several trades.— Thus, in one trade, tho allowance w ill be one apprentice to five journeyman; and this limitation is not regulated by the aggregate number in any one shop, or any ono master. Thus, where the regulation is that one apprentice shall be allowed to every five journey men, if there be six, 6even, eight or nine journeyman in that shop, only one apprentice can be employed. If the employer have ten journeymen, and thus be entitled to two aprentiees, and, for want of work or other reason, should discharge one journeyman, he must also discharge one apprentice.— Ordinarily, under that limitation, where there are two hundred workmen of a particular trade engaged in a city, there ought to be forty boys learning tho business ; But, in fact, these work men being distributed in irregular numbers among thirty or forty shops, it may happen, and as a rule it is the case, that tho number of apprentices does not exceed twenty. In all shops employing less than the regular num ber of journeymen, no appreutb e is allowed ; and thus in ten shops em ploying four journeymen each not an apprentice cud be found, nor would one bo tolerated. We are confident that there are thousands of boys in Chicago to-day who would willingly learn a trade, but no employer dare engage one of them. The evil of this is two-fold. A boy may want to be a carpenter, but can not gain admission to a shop. lie must abandon all idea of learning a trade, or he must accept whatever way bo open, and thus a boy who would have made a skillful carpenter becomes an indifferent blacksmith, or ono who would be an excellent moe auist be comes a wretched cooper or brieklay er ; while the boy whose taste would have made him a finished painter, be comes, perforce, a boiler maker. — Boys have no choice. An expenditure of money may purchase an appoint ment to the Military Academy; but to make the same boy a plunder or a printer involves the upheaval ol the labor system ol America. Another form iu which this evil af fects society, is that it increases the number of persons seeking profession al or mercantile employments. An advertisement for a boy or man to drive a grocer’s wagon, attend iu a store,to run errhnds, serve on tho po- ! lice, or work as a porter, will bo an's weied by whole regiments of men and boys. These applicants honestly seek to labor ;-_jhey are neither idle nor lazy, intempevu- nor dishonest; they wuni to earn tho bread they eat, and all, more or less, have somebody depend ent upon them for food, home and shelter. The ranks of this class of unskilled labor are constantly increas ing, they lar exceed any employment that tho city affords, and in the win ter time they constitute that immense class of honest, industrious poor, who suffer, not lest severely because silent ly, for the want of fuel, clothing, and, perhaps, food. Belonging to this class are tho groat army of boys, growing up to be men of the future, wanting to work, but as effectually denied tho privelege as if they were conspirators against the peace of soceiety. In fact as a boy in Baltimore a few weeks ago informed a public officer, “the only ohane« wo boys have to learn a trade is te bo Befit to tho Bonitentittry or the House of Kefuge.” There are at this timo in tho reformatory institu tions of Chicago about COO boys learn ing mechanical trades ; that is the only chance tho majority of them have— first to become vagi ants or criminals, and then the State furnishes them with the opportunity to learn mechan ical trades. There arrive in tho United States annually, from all parts of tho world, large numbers of skilled laborers; these constitute the governing power in all the American trades-unions. — They admit to membership every fresh arrival; but they deny to the native 6tock the privelege ot being skilled workmen. The rousons given for this exclusion aro numerous, but tho main reasons are two: 1. That tho only protection workmen have against em ployers is that of striking; that so long as an employer has. a largo num ber of apprentices, more or less pro ficient, ho can only defy a strike, and in time can organize a body of women, fl. That to admit as apprentices all who wish to learn tho trade, is to cre ate overstock of skilled labor, thereby reducing wages. There may be other reasons, but these embody all that can be said in support of this unjust poli cy. The fir.-ff reason is censured be cause, in case of a strike, the employ er has only at his command unskilled labor, which, upon becomeing skilled will abandon him ; that ho cannot car ry on business with 6Uch labor, and though his apprentices may for a time enable him to protect himself from a total suspension of business, he must eventually suspend, if ho has no oth er labor. Tho second reason assumes that the man who makes shoes lias a monopoly, and that, until he dies, no other man shall bo authorized to take Lis place. It is an assumption oi flavine right vim , Lj ... v principle of justice. Tiie right that tiie shoemaker of to-day had to learn his trade is a right common to all other men. To roconizu this monopo ly is but to roconizo tho right to pro hibit the use of tho employment of machinery, to prohibit the use of wa ter or steam power, or of railroads or steamboats, or, if carried to its full logical consequences, M ould authorize any particular craft to sis tho number of its members, and to starve ail iu excess of that number. That there is au immense field lor skilled labor here is shown by tho rush of operatives from Europe to this country. As these ar rive they unite with ihose who prohib it any accession except by immigra tion. Is it wise to havo any such classification of our people 'i Is it expedient that the skllod laborers shall all bo foruigu ? Does not socie ty need for its protection some other schools for the education of Ameiiean mechanics than the pemteniuries and reformatories 'i Does not the public good require that these arbitrary reg ulations, which fetter the right of any person to learn any trade or profession and to have a free and equal chance in the race of life, shall be abrogated and broken down, quite as much as it requires tho passage of an eight hour law? Os all monopolig, and the country is cursed with many, the mon opoly of a right to adopt and follow a trade is the most unjustifiable aud in tolerable. To Every Soldier who Worth ily wore Ihe toiritv. The first Confederate soldier killed in the war between the btates was Henry YVyatt, of North Carolina, who fell at Bethel, and is buried in Holly wood Cemetery, at Richmond, Yrirgin ia. A brief inscription on his tomb stone telling the eventful history, at tracts the attention of every visitor to tho cemetery ; and on Memorial Day no Confederate grave is moro lavishly decorated than that of young YVyatt. The dead son is remembered while tho living father is neglectod or for gotten. John YY r yatt, tho father of Ilenrv Wyatt, is now in the poorhouse in Pitt county, North Carolina. The boy, who would havo been the prop of his old age, shed his blood for us iu the first battle of the war, and it rests with his surviving comrades to save the patriot father from further humil iation. A trifling contribution from the Confederate soldiers will make the venerable old man comfortable for tho rest of his days, and wo sinccrely hope that every Southerner, who MO.’e the gray with honor, will send a few pence for tho father of Henry YVyatt, to Captain W. J. McKerall, of Marion South Carolina, vho has kindly vol unteered to forward all these dona tions to their d> -filiation. Those who prefer so doing may send their dona tions to the editor of tho News, who will cheerfully take them in ccargo and hand them t Capt. McKerall. — Charleston Netct.

Novttr rose the sun ou a brighter (lay or shod its glorious beams on a fairer bride or more noble bridegroom than on the day uheu Agnes Lynne and Chester Moore stood before tho altar aud plightod their troth to ono another. It was a bright and joyous bridal, aud no sign of tho dark cloud that was to overshadow. Loving one another with a rare and steadfast devotion, little dreamed they that the timo would come when their lips would be sealed to ono another, aud tho eyes that looked only now, would bo coldly averted as from the face of an enemy. Ere the first month of married life had passed, a studied coldness had grown up between them ; why, neith er knew or sought to know. JIo was reserved and overbearing iu his man ner ; she, proud, fiery and unyielding. ‘My daughter,’ pleaded the anxious mother, ‘yield a little to yovr husband’s wishes, for sweet love’s sako. You are making a shipwreck of your own happiness as well as his.’ ‘1 take pride in your independence of character, Gear Au- 2u -fc> i “ j>-" - new lire us you intend to end it. Let your husband see that ho cannot bend you to bio will,’ said oue who had suc ceeded in making her husband feel tho strength of her will. ‘Listen to me, Chester, l.ofore it is too Into, and your happiness ia de stroyed forover. Humor aud pot your wife a littlo more,’ said an old and tried friend, who with pain had mark ed their growing estrangement. ‘Ag nes loves you truly, hut remember that all her life she has boen tho petted darling of her mother, and your un called-for severity of manner galls hor to tho soul. Be mure lenient with her caprices, and her great love for you will enable hor to overcome that iiu [tetuosity of temper that annoys you so much.’ ‘Chester, my boy, you are an exam ple to all young men contemplating matrimony. (Ateh you giving way to a woman’s whims, if she is your wife and does cry a little. Hold out the way you havo begun, and you will lead a model life,’ laughed the bosom friend of tho young husband, to whom he had been giving a history of his infelicities. Thus counsoled, the tvvo who had promised before God and man to love and cherish otte anothor till parted by death, went on from coldness to bitter recriminations, and finally, in a fit of uncontrollable passion,.the husband exclaimed : ‘Would to God I had nev er married ! My life has been a con tinual torment since that ill-omened day!’ Away to the further corner of the room, flew a sacred betrothal ring, shot thither by the indignant wife, and she herself, with a blanched and res olute face, but with trembling limbs, was hurrying from her husband’s home before he fully realized what had happened. ‘Let her go,’ ho muttered, with a bitter sneer on his lips, but with a vague feeling of alarm and remorse in his heart at his hasty words aud their unlooked for effect. ‘Better have her cry out at home than here : I do hate so to see her cry,’ ho said to himself as he lighted his cigar and prepared to go out. ♦ ‘She will be sure to be at homo again when I come in to-night. To go after her would spoil everything.’ j And yet ho could not satisfy him self with any reasoning Go where he I would, the white, horror-stricken face ' of his wife as lie lust saw it rose up before him But in accordance with the laughing advice of his friend, he put the pale image to one side, resolv ing not to be removed from his proud 1 position by a woman’s angry tears, j To his great surprise and uneasiness | Agues was not at home when he I reached there at a late hour that night, nor did she return the next day, nor the next. Still his pride, bolstered up by his friend’s approval, would not allow him to seek hor. ‘Now is the turning-point in your hifo, Chester,’ said this false and care- I lons adviser to the now wretched hus u*nd. ‘Yield now, and be a slave to a wo man’s whims all tho rest of your life.’ Then came a long letter from the young wife’s mother. She deplored their unhappy misunderstanding, but her daughter would never return to his home nguin until the cruel words that had driven her forth wero re called. . Love and all the nobler qualities of liis nature pleaded loudly for his iu suited wife, but again his stub bora pride stifled tho yearnings of his heart, and more than a week had paused siuco the lottor was received from Ag nes’ mother. At tho end of that time the voice of love could no longer be disregarded, tire yearning desire to bo reconciled to his young wife would not bo crowded down any longer. ■But by this tiino tho tongue of scan dal was busy with their names, and ho found that Agues could bo oven more unyielding thTtn himself would bo. Sho would listen to no reasoning, aud all liis impuasionod pleading 101 l on heedless oars. Aud thus at tho end of six months of married life they wero as w idely separated as though the oceau rolled between them. Two years fraught with bitter grief to both was drawing ,t<> a close, aud mankind were preparing to welcome the over precious period of ‘Boace on earth’ that should bring good will to ward men, whatever cause has divided them tho whole twelvemonth before. The Divine birthday dawned bright and beautiful, aud, for the first time iu two long weary years, Chester Moore wended lib way to his old ac cumtonied place of worship before tho sud blight fell upon his life. Ills heart yearned toward his still fondly idolized wife, and he determined to gaze upon her face once more, howev er coldly she might frown upon him. As ho expected, he saw her iu her accustomed place, and finding a seat nour her, ho entered into the sacrod worship with greater fervency than ever before. Agues was pale and pensive, and more than once ho detected a fugitive glanoe in his direction, but her eyes wore quickly withdrawn, and she seemed absorbed in hor devotions. The deep tones of the organ, touch ed by a master’s hand, rose and fell and the incomparable voices of the choir singing a glad anthem, made a glorious melody, almost too grand fur earth. ‘l’oare ! peace ! peace ! rang tho glad refrain, and during tho outburst of heavenly sound the styes of tho long parted husband and wife rnet,*not to be hastily withdrawn, but to gaze wi h a depth of meaning that spoke plainer than words. u'j— j mat tueir bitter past was blotted out forever, and that anew life, full of a happy promise, was op ening before them. Tho organ stilled pealed, and tho colostial anthem still filled their oars, and mingled with tho feelings of holy devotion excited by the grandeur of tho worship, was ono of deep gratitude that there was at least peace between (hem, which would nevor more be broken. No more sonsoloss bickering no more cross purposes, no more wick ed pride, but henceforth they would wala hand in hand down tho rugged path of life, bearing each othor’s bur dens, and abating each other’s joys until death parted them. Givo without grudging. It is not enough that you simply givo. You must do it beautifully. Your generos ity must not be clownish. It must bo line. It must bo noble. Wo aro to be easy to bo entreated. There is nothing so graciously in clined toward us as Uod and our own conscience, because no other knows the manner in which things happen within us, und the inner workings of our souls.— [ltaiiol Naruh gou you Euse.

Liyu so that your presence will gladden the the lives of your dear ones, more than anything your hands can Min for them. The noblest thing on earth is the man who rises to the diguity of -self mastery. The man who can refuso indulgence to a clamoring desire ; can hold the craving appotite ungratilied, and can say to the rising passion, “I’cace, bo still,” ia a hero above Alex ander or Hercules. A minister asked a little boy who had been converted, “Does not the de vil tell you that you are not a Chris tian ?” “Yes, sometimes.” “Well, what do you say to him?” “I tell him,” replied the boy, with something ol Luther’s spirit, “that, whether I am a Christian or not, it is none of his bus iness.” Endeavor to take your work quietly. Anxiety and over-action aro always the causo of sickness aud lecklessness. We must use our judgment to control our oxcitomont, or our bodily strength will break down. YY r o must remem ber that our buttlo is to bo won by a strength not our own. It is a battle that does not depend upon the swift and strong.
