" Enterprise and the stranger that he
had so generously attended to. On
Saturday last, whilst walking down
Royal street, Harry was hailed by a
person whose features he thought he
recognized. When the meeting took
place, he found out that the stranger
who had accosted him was the same
individual that he had nursed on the
banks of the Rio Grande. A change
had taken place in the fortunes of both,
but the gratitude of the one was not
tOOgrtten. The STRANGER welcomed his
humble friend with all the warmth of a
noble heart, and invited him to his resi-
dence. Here he introduced him to his
cousin, beautiful young lady Of about
eighteen years of age 1t did Mt take

they came to matrimony, and in that

DIGNITY OF LABOR.

We have heard among the idlers. who
float like drift-wood on the surface of soci>
ETY., contemptuous filings at those whose
heritage is toll.
They sncer at what they term the hard
and swathy hand of labor, but they forget
that of all that is useful, luxurious or beauti-
full on this earth, toll has been the creator
that from the marble palace TO the white
kIdglOveS ofthe iailOr's mos exquisite walk.
ng-slgn, all has been wrought out by hui
man hands. Much Of it, too, ut painful
cost to human hearts far more sensitive of
the real dignity of manhood than the most
bedizened and pertumed Ofthose scOrners of
labor. It's the toll of hard hands that rear
ed empires in the old and planted republics
in the wilderness of a new world that has
hcwn the rock in the quarry, built the tenn
plies and monuments Uf natiOns-tha,
has achieved whatever fame belongs to
genius, with the scuIptor's chisel, the pain
ters pencil, and the poets pen-that has
winged the ocean with white sails, and ex
changed the produce of every cline - that
has measured the circles of the stars, and
plumGd the lightning to descend upon wires
and be the new Mercrry Of the world
Labor! why, man of ideness, labor rocked
YOU in the cradle and has nOurished your
pampered lle-wilhOut it, the woven silks
and wool upon your back would be in the
sIk-worm's nest and the tleeces in the shep-
crd's fold. For the meanest thing that min
listers TO human want, save the air of heav-
eli man is indebted to toll and even the air,
by Gods wise ordination, is breathed with
labor. It's only the drones who toll not,
who infest the hive of activity like masses
of corruption and decay. The lords of the
earth are the working men, who can build
or cast down at their will, and who retort
the sheer of the " soff handed" by pointing
TO their trophies, wherever art science, civ
ilization and humanity are known. Work
on man of toll thy royalty is yet TO be ac-
knowledged as labor rises onward to the
highest throne of power. Work ON, and in
the language of poet,@ be
GLORIOUS man and thy renown shall be
Borne by the winds and waters thro all time,
While there's a keel TO carve it on the sea
From cline TO cline,
Or God ordans that idleness is crime!

One Of the Morocco cheftaiEs defeated
at Isky, went TO pay a visit to Abd-el-Ka

requested TO see him. Escoffier, the French
trumpeter, who fell into the hands of the
enemy whilst endeavoring TO succor one Of
his officers, having been sent for, appeared
wearing his trumpet, and on being ordered
TO play an air, he sounded a charge. The
cheftain inquired the meaning of those mar
tal notes.
Tell the captain, said the Eschoffier TO
the interpreter, that when he hears that tune,
the best thing he can do is to turn about
and gallop away.
Abd-el-Rhaman's officer, being offended
at this reply, requested that the Frenchman
might receive a hundred lashes of the bast.

was his duty to behave generously towards
the French, who never i'll treated their Arab
prisoners.
On another occasion, Add ,el-kader made
Escoffier an offer of three handsome wives.

Abd-el-kader replied with smile: "Be

You show yourself brave man, and worthy

THE RIGHTS OF LABOR

Labor; what debt of gratitude Of graft
tude unpaid; and, | fear, too often un.
thought of does the handwriting on the wal
mark up against us, at the very mention OF
| the world !! Labor! What has il not eff
fected for US! Labor ploughs, and digs and
ILLS, and cultivates the ground, and sows,
and reaps, and gathers into barns, and
grlnds the corn. Labor builds the ship
and sails across the ocean, and penetrates
the most distant climes, and encounters dan
gers and faces difficulties, and ransacks sea
and land, TO provide the food which we
consume, and the clothes which we wear,
and the lewelled ornaments which fashion
calls for, as an offering ON its shrine. La
Dor erects the houses cuts the railway and
the canal, bores the tunnel. rears the Was
duct on the bridges, levels mountains, pier
ces the rock. 1t weaves and spins, tolls and
works, piles the loom, strikes the anvil,
thunders at the forge, weds the hammer,
sinks the mine, raises the coal, and accom-
pushes everything, from the monster cable
OF the nOblest of our wooden walls, to the
most delicate of siken threads in a lady's
work-5oX, and from the loftiest pile of archi-
lecture, to the scarcely perceptible eve of
the smallest needle, for which it is intended.
In short as the Elephant, with the same
trunk, tears down the stoutest tree in the
forest and picks up a pin from the ground,
so does labor procure for US the greatest
and the least, the most important and the
most minute, of the necessares of life, min
niSters TO our Injuries, increases our com
forts, and with, its ever inventive and untir-
ing ingenuity constantly widens the source
ofour employmentand amusements. Well, |
be II so, it may be some cold and calculating
nature will reply and what then! lfIabor
works for us, do we not pay ii for its work,
and there does not the mutual obligation |
end This is most miserable way of !
looking at the II a ter, and no way o. settling
1t at all. Humanity should not keep such |
a close debtor and creditor account with |
man. Property, we have been told, has
lis duties as well as its rights; and in like
nverting the maxim, | would say,
that labor has its rights, as well as its duties,
and one OF It's strongest claims upon us, |
think, is, that we should not only gle a
fair days wages for fair days work. but
also provide it the school. the library, and
the institute, with a fair days recreation,
when It's fair days work is DONE Speech
Of the Rev. James Aspinal.

THE WORLDS LIE.
BIZ AUGUSTINE DCGANSE.

/ looked from the grating
OF my spirits dungeon cell
And saw the life tide rolling,
With suIlen, angry swell;
And the battle ships were riding,
Like leviathans in pride,
While their cannon shot was raining,
On the stormy human tide.
Then my soul in anguish wept,
Sending forth waIlng cry;
Said the world, This comes from Heaven
Said my soul, 1T is LIEr

OF my spirits dungeon cell
And sound of mortal mourning
On my Keeling senses fell
And heard the fall OF lash es,
And the clank of iron chains,
And saw where Men wer driven,
Like dumb cattle, o er the plains.
Then my soul looked up to God
With woe beclou'ed eye;

And heard the solemn tolling

And saw a frowning galows

While thousand eyes We're glaring
On a felons horrid doom.
And shout OF cruel mrth
On the wind was rushing by;
Said the world This comes from Heaven
Said my SOUL Its LIE!

Or my spirits dungeon cell
Where the harvest was blooming
Over smiling plain and dell;
And saw million paupers
With their oreheads in the DUST
