If we wish to be Net'son or VVeliingtons. we must copy these iittie percur‘iarities in the way geniuses have walked and worn their clothes, and We test wiil surely come to us in Heaven’s good time, and we shall perhaps end by being geniuses also; V, ...... all wise men are aware that such Ve‘acious anecdotes can be used without. stint as a cheap means of administering moral pills to the young digestion oi the middle or CCPY--BOOK MAXtMs. â€" When great people star it in the provinces they are very frequently in the habitat selecting some copyâ€"book maxim about honesty, or temper- lance, or early rising, and telling the rest of the world that they themselves owe all their success in lite to the assidious cultivation of Ithis one gentle virtue. Bishops, lpolitictans. Lord Mayors of Lon- ldon, and provincial members of lParliament all do it. They get up gravely in their country hall,or on 1 some public platform, and relate w1th an air of stolid sincerity how one day when they were young somebody said something to them about always dotting their i's. From that moment the young ex- ampler began to dot them. It was the turning point in his career. Ever since that time fortune has « smiled upon him. Busy or itlle, ill or well. merry or melancholy, he never lbrgot to (lot his i’s, and the consequence is, that mankind is now able to look up to him, and set him in his present proud posi- tion. As a rule, this sort of cheap philosophical sawdust takes admir- ably with an audience. We all like the lower classes to be talked to in sousel‘nl a way, .l‘he anecdote gets into the count.y neWSpapers, is repeated in the paragraph oi every penny-a-liner, and ultimately finds its way into tracts.

Exammns For: EMPLOYERS.â€"â€"‘ The iron works at Creuzot, the pro- perty of M Schneider, President of. the Corps Legislatif, and other part-‘ ers, afford an example ol'a scientiâ€" fic as well as an elementary school maintained by a single firm ofemployers. ln 1866 the schools contained 4,065 children. of whom 2,219 were boys. The latter are drafted, from the school into the works; where they are placed strict- ly according to the capacity they they have shown at school. The more promising schoiars are sent to the Ecoledes Arts at Aix,whence they irequently return to fill re- sponsible positions at Creuzot. Adult classes {or those who wish to carry on their studies after leaving the school are held on Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays. In these instruction is given in geometry, chemistry, and natural philosophy, as well as in the usual elementary subjects. There are also special classes bearing dirccdy on the oc- cupations of the workmen, includ« in0r a complete course of machine drawing; the result being in Mr. Satnnelson's words. that M. Schu neider, in walking through the. sheds where several pairs of ma-- rine engines were being erected, was able to inlOrm me that there was not a man amongst the. maâ€" chanics empioyed in that depart- ment who could not make an ace curate'drawing of the . work on which he was engaged. What this signilles and is worth, a me- chanic alone, can fully appreciate. The Special importance of Creuzot, as an example, consists in this, that it is an instance of thorough appreciation by most competent persons ‘ofthc interest which ema plovers havu in providing technical education for their workmen. The Govermcnt has its part to perform, and the working classes have theirs but at this moment the question is, most of all, an employers question. a’t‘é"deéfi-;‘afid as you wii’tit‘d have their fair names untarnished and their lives unembttlered by the slanderer’s biting tongUe, heed the the 111 that your own words may bring upon the mother, the sister, or‘ the wife of some f'eHuw-creature.
