REFLECTIONS ON LABoR.--It is q strange
assumption which many hold 10 with re-
markable ienacity. that labor which requires
muscular exertion is degrading, and that the
greatest happiness Of man is, to be free from
the necessity OF daily toll. To show il is
mistake, the following considerations are
only necessary:
First-The physical construction Of the
hand most distinctly argues that man was
designed 10 labor. Second--Labor pro-
motes health. Third Mental vigor cannot
long be sustained without corresponding
muscular cxertion. Fourih--Labor was the
lot OF man in Paradise. Adam was labor
er before he was sinner. These stale
ments require no elaboration They are
palpable truths.
Power Of endurance is essential 10 intel
lIecruai culture For lack Of Il thousands
Of young and ardent minds are compelled
10 give up their studies. or BY clinging still
10 books, prepare and lie down In an early
grave. Why do they not possess III Their
muscular power Is upcul,iysted. The tone
Of their system Is depressed. Their native
susceptibility of endurance is exhausted, de-
slfoyed and disease finds In them unresisl-
ing victims OF its power These remarks
are ample to determine certainly this point,
that the laborer and student should be
closely joined in one.
