has so powerfully aided other causes of intemperance that there is scarcely to be found among the laboring class any who do not drink and drink too much it is unques tionably owing in a great measure to this that the apprentices to many mechanical branches are initiated into the habit of intemperance before they acquire a knowledge of their trade ; and it is certainly owing to the same cause that many do not gain a perfect knowledge of their busi ness here too we see a powerful objection operating tp prevent many respectable parents irom putting their sons to mechanical occupa tions hence many a promising mechanical genius is smothered in the warehouse or doomed to add a useless member to thc already over-run and over-rated learned professions this serves to degrade the honorable calling of mechanics which suffers another depression from the ne cessity yvhich these circumstances create of ta king apprentices from the lower circles of socic ly whose yvant of the requisite education disqual ifies them for attaining an adequate knowledge of their trade in addition to this the master mechanic growing wealthy hy his business too often becomes infected with the follies and fash ions
