HOTEL KNowLEDeE.-Ag green 'un from

days in New York, for the purpose of see

acquaintance at home with proper idea
Of the greatness of his visit, he took up lodg-

When he was ushered in to dinner, the
first day, he was surprised at the number of
people who sat down, as we'll as the vast,
ness Of the dining room. He was equally
surprised to see that each man had print
cd account of bis dinner before him, and
that each one, as he thought, ate according
to the directions. He was quite hungry
and we'll he might be after waiting three
hours over his usual time-so he attacked
the head of his bill with vigor, and he ate
down as fast as he could, but he soon came
to stand. Just then the gentleman on his
right requested the waiter to bring him
some oyster pie, which our friend heard,
and instantly referred to the list to see
where it was.

Morality Of Labor,

MAN, in his primeyal state, of honor and
glory, sustained himself by sfhe swedt Of
lis brop." God placed Adam and Eve in
in the garden Of Eden, ''to dress and to keep
IT," and while they pursued their divine and
innocent employment, their hearts were
pure, and they were inexpressibly happy,
and so soon as they became speculative in
thought, a sad reverse of fortune befel them.
The righteous in the days of Noah, were
persons who took pleasure in laboring for
substance. Noah himself, who was Gods
instrument to save the world, was master
ship.builder. -.
The pure Abraham was a faithful Shep-
herd--so was David, and all the good and
virtuous Of patriarchical and holy memory,
were laborers. +, ".'a ~.
1t is something remarkable that the Saw.
ior Of man, was o carpenter; and all ths
holy Apostles were working men. Ever

was a tent-maker. E% asse2 2 '0". m,e
In reviewing the worlds history, W

fessions. Not only so, but the best Of phi
