Nobility of Labor.

The man who labors in some hon
est occupation and supports himself
by his own industry is one of natures
nobIemen. He carries with him an
independence of feeling unknown to
planv a titled arristocrat who spurns
the idea of labor and holds in utter
contempt the man who lives alone
upon the result of his own industry.
To what pitiful shifts and ~disreputa-
bic means are the labor haters often
driven TO maintain the dignity to
which they aspire, the dignity Of liv-
ing without manual laSor.
Many, not relishing' work, think
that some professional pursuit would
elevate them in the scale Of human
dignity, and, in spite Of what nature
designed them for, commenced a pro-
iession in which they can never rise
above mediocritv, whereas they
might acquire reputation in their le-
climate sphere. How many of these
professional hangers-on may every
where be met with, who by some
means have obtained n fine sui: of
clothes. and being too proud TO work,
live 4 life of miserable dependence.
and encounter the sneers and ji5es of
the honest mechanic who asks no IA
vors but from heaven. and a plenty
o! employment from his fellow man.
Many a poorlaughed-at doctor, and
petlfogging lawyer. who are more
than half starving for want of en-
pIoyment. might have made good me-
chanics. been respected in their call
and in the enjoyment of at least
a decent competency. Parents, we
advise You to let your children follow
the indications of nature in their
choice of persuits through life.

The Republic was founded more than
400 years ago, on moral principles,
industry and equality. and has pre-
served its liberty and independence IL

The Poisoned valley of Java.

The usual meeting of the Royal
Asiatic Society took place on Satur-
day, the right Hon. w. w. Wynn in
the chair. \ paper was read by
Col. Sykes, on the poisoned Upas val
lev at Betur. in Java, extracted from
a letter by London, containing . des-
criptioa of his visit to the place in
July. 1880. According to the state
ment of Mr.. London, this valley is
90 miles in extent, and of c%onsidera-
bic Width. 1t presents n most desc
late appearance , the surface being
sterile and without any vegetation.
The valley contains numerous skele-
tons Of mamalia and birds. In one
case, the skeleton of u human being
was found with the head resting on
the right hand-According to tradi-
ton. it is said that the neighbouring
tribes were in the habit of driving
their criminals into the valley to ex-
plate their crimes. Mr.. London tried
the experiment of lowering some dogs
and fowls into the valley, and in eve
~ case animation became quickly
suspended, although life was prolong-
ed in some instances for ten minutes.
The valley proved to be the crater of
an extinGuished volcano, in which
carbonic acid gas is generated, like
the Grotto del Cane at Naples. The
fabulous influence imputed to the
UpaS tree. is, therefore, without
foundation. the mortality being caus-
ed solely by the deIeterious agency
of the gas.-London paper.
