VOL. XI. Eben + CLERKS IN GERMA Young men in the northern part of Ger- many, who are bound as apprentices with a master mechanic, have to submit to severe hardships during a period of from four to seven years, and the custom of masters considering their apprentices as beings much inferior to themselves, is so deeply rooted, that an act of actual craelty commiited by the employers is not considered anything extraordinary, much less is it ever punished, unless 1t borders on crime. Then again, the journeymen treat such apprentice with a superiorily not known in this country. An appeal of the Young man to his parents is often without success, as his en- tire future largely depends on his good beha- vior, and consequently submissive obedience during his term of apprenticeship. Many city administrations, if not all, require a testimo- nial of every xpplicant for permission to settle and carry on his business in the place, of his having served a certain number of years sa apprentice with a regularly and duly admitted master of his trade. This testimonial is issued Ly the guild, (an assogiation of ali the masters of the same trade.) and which is not granted until the applicant proves his uninterrupted devotion to the busincss for the last four to seven years—the number depending on the stipulations—and brings letters from his mas- ter to the effect of his having served him to his entire satisfaction. The custom of binding young men does not merely embrace mechan- ied, but is siso applied to merchants. To il- lustrate this mode and manner, we will relate the history of a young mercantile gentleman now in our city, who assures us that most of his colleagues who served their apprenticeship in the same city had to submit to the same treatment. “I was sixteen years of age, and had been corresponding with mercantite’ houses for the last three months, trying to get a situation as &D apprentice. One of my applications was crowned with success: ‘You may enter my business on the first day of January, if your pao from college proves satichectory. I enclose the usual contract for the signature of your futher and your own.’ ~The principal features of this contract were these: You are not allowed to leave the house without my permission; you are forbidden to smoke; you must no r person; if any is ever fuund with yeu, it suall be considered as stolen property, and I shall be at liberty to stamp you a thief in all public newspapers; you must in all cases im- plieitly obey your principal; the duration of your apprenticeship shail be five years; I give you board and lodging; your father must pay for your washing. clothing, and anything else you need “This contraet, aithough®h severe instru- ment, I signed, glad to succeed in getting a situation. This contract was—this is my opin- ion xow—rather one-seded, as all the equiva- lent whieh I could look for. was the right to acquire the art of selling coffee, sugar, rice, and other groceries, and to pract this wy tery for a period of five years, until my knowl- bs was sufficiently profound to receive my ~ Lebrbrief,”’ (indenture) and to be liberated. ““T entered my place on the first day of Jan- uary, 1840—a cold, frosty night it was—at 8 «clock in the evening, und I never shail forget the first two hours of my apprenticeship. I had left my futher, mother and sisters, for the first time. Nobody welcomed me at my new place. The clerk, whum I then considered a very enviable person, never asked me any «question—be could not condescend to speak tu an apprentice—a clerk, mind, who bad gone through al! these same trials, knew very well the importance of his position. aud such a thing as‘ friendly conversation’ would have aston- ished the housemaid even, who was the only person in the house who seemed to feel for me, and who offered to give mea supper. if I de- sired to eat. A little after ten Mr. Clerk in- structed me in the mystery of closing the store, and this duty being satisfacto: performed, he desired me to fullow him up stairs to the bedroom. The room was cold. There had been no fire in it that winter, and may be many winters previous. Yet this did not dis please me. as I wus uccustomed to sleeping in # culd room. I happened to be undressed be- re Mr Clerk and was about getting into my bed, when 1 was informe: that it was tLe duty of the apprentice to extinguish the candle, and J bad to wait until his highness had got into bed. My couch was good, however. and in five minutes I dreamt of home. At six next morning I was aroused by a loud call of some- body, and ordered to cpex the store. Custom ers commenced tv come in and my duties had now fairly begun. I soon learned the use of the scales and the location of the different drawers. and in a week or ten days I was fair- ly initiated and knew the countenances of the aervant girls in the entire neighborhood. About 7 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Clerk went into the breakfast room where the family .were seated around the breakfast table, Stayed a few minutes, and ordered me to go in and take my culfee. When I entered. madam pointed to acup of coffve on the table, and, seeing no vacant chair, | understood what was expected ot,me. I took my cup of coffee, went back to the door and drauk it standing, an experiment trom which the clerk was not excepted « To get up at 6. go to bed at 103 o’clock, to stand in the store. customers or none, with front doors open at fourteen degrees below vero, was my every day amusement during the whole winter.

[Prom the Paris Correspondence of Boston Post J The law gossip of the week concerns most cepeciaily those who go down to the sea in ships, and may serve as & warning lesson to those who pee present seeurity to future peace and happiness. A year or two ago M. Malfilatre. honor, hope, and heir of a renowned ealico priater, stocking maker. and night cap vendor of Rouen, set sail from Havre to pro- ceed to Sydney, in order to superintend the business which his father carried on in that place, snd which the death of his partner had left without surveillance. One of those acci- dents which will happen, in apite of captain or compass, even to the best governed ships on the ocean, happened, as a matter of course, to the rotten little bark in which M. Malfilatre set sail—and on the inhospitable shore of Wal- lis’s Island was it wreeked ; everything lost bat M. Malfiiatre, to whom everything was lost but honor. The plump person and de- fenceless state of the young merchant became ® great temptation tu the dainty inhabitants of Wallis’s Island, who have disgusted the missionaries by eating each other, and they carried him away to the chief's hut with loud shouts of triumph at the sweet morsel which the waves had thrown upon their shore. The Catholic missionaries have a small establish- ment of the Maristes on the Island. They work night and day, with unremitting seal, at the conversion of these savages, and have got ad far as the prevention of infanticide for zas- tronomic purposes, which is a great step; but they have not as yet been able to inspire that wholesome dislike of human flesh which should certainly form the first step in every conver- sion to Christianity. The poor young man in his dilemma. appealed Piteously to the rev- erend fathers; but they confessed that they possessed no iuiluence; ‘that they were barely tolerated and dare not interfere. Tho only rescue to be expeeted could be obtained by Choosing a wife amongst native women, and consenting to remain on the island forever. After wuch persuasion from the missionary he aecepted the latter alternative, and the holy tather, according to the custom of his nation, ebose a bride for the young man, and took es- pecial eare to choose a good purti—no less a one than a daughter of the chief. One thing, however, the father insisted on; the marriage sbouid be solemnized seriously with Catholic rites; and at all events the bridegroom should be bound by proper registers, and not be per- mitted tu treat the sacred ceremony with the same lightness as it is elsewhere. Everything was conseated to by the young man, who had grown attached to life by means of a good supper and, accordingly, on the next dey the beautiful Suleta, all treshly tattoved from head to fuot—her fair proportions undis- figured by crinoline, was led to the altar of the Maristes by M. Malfilatre. But. of course, our hero from Rouen had treated the whole thing as a little harmless expedient to keep a safe skin and whole bones in this hungry land, and soon began tu look out for an opportunity of quitting the scene of his connubial felicity Some months elapsed, however, before this op- portunity occurred; but at length, one after- noon, wandering disconsulate on the beach, he deseried a vessel in the oiling. It was an Eng! vessel, whose bont’s crew in answer to the signal of distress hoisted by the bride- groom, hastened to the rescue, and bore him of to the ship, without discovery on the part of the natives, who would have killed and eaten them all had they been aware of the treachery intended. M Malfilatre landed safe znd sound at Havre only two months ago. He found that great changes had taken place in his father’s houschold during bis absence. An inheritance had fallen in—furtune had smiled most graciously upon the old man, and the son. after all his wretchedness and misery. returned to find himseif the heir of wealth he bad never dreamed of. The first thing for a rich man in France to de, is, as we all know, to provide himeelf with a rich wife; the father began to look about him, and having found a suitable match, the partics were straightway brought forth to be married Sut now arose the difficulty—young Malifil- atre could not deny his inarriage at Wallis’s [siand by a Catholie priest. according to Cath- olic rites. Tho marriage was legal in every point of view. excepting in the one point of the Ron-consent of the parents of the bridegroom. So, therefore, notice was served by a huissrer upou the ~ Demoiselle Sulota, falsely calling herself Madame Malfilatre,”’ to show cause why she should not be dispossessed of ¢ tide. Of course the whole affair was cons ered 2 mighty good joke by the gossips, and laughed at accordingly: for, of course after the delay expired, no porte civile appearing, jsdgment would go by default, and Malfilatre might be free to marry whom he pleased. ‘Thug did the affair stand until last wee K, when lo! to the utter confusion of the sanguine bridegroom and his rich wife, the bishop of ‘aliaand Useuna, in whose diocese lies the paradise of which we have given some of the most striking traét de maurs, of morality and rel ready to become partic th nof the helpless Suleta| We may judg: the cousternation thrown among the | ranks of jewelers, costumers. and modietes all ne nu. proclal vile in this care, for selt engaged for the rich murriage—the tears of the rich bride—the ravings of the rieh bridegroom.
