OCCUPATION AND INDUSTRY.

OCCUPATION AND INDUSTRY.
| Did you ever notice, gentle reader
that the discontinued and grumbIing
members of society arc invariably
those who are in such circumstances
in life that they arc not compelled to
be Industrious. in order to gain Il live.
Iihood! Persons who have little or
nothing to do, are invariably uneasy
and Disconnected. while the industri>
Gus have not time for such thoughts.
Time glides to those who toil-it is
the toiIcrs priyilcge.--- Heaven de.
signed us all to work. each in his
peculiar sphere, some with the hands,
some with the brain. There is not Il
man or a thing alive that has not tools
to work with. Has not the spider 4
powcr.loom within his head, and that
most stupid Of animate substances. the
oyster, has Papin's diges,cr, with a
stone and lime house to hold it in.--
Man is happy only when employed,
FOR lazincss begcts vice. vice bcgcts
crimc;--lhcn who would not avoid
Iazncss? Especially is an Industrious
spirit desirable in woman; life is so
uncertain, the freaks Of fortune so
variable, that the man who takes n
partner to his bosom, whose domestic
habits and education have been avcrsc
to this essential requisite, to say the
least of it, runs fearful risk Yet
how many there arc wholly ignorant
Of the ordinary wants of life. or the
means supplying thcm--how many
have been brought up to think it de.
grading to enter a kitchen or to per-
form for themselves any necessary
service. Let your children, good
mothers, you who read these fair
pages, be brought up endowed with
both domestic knowledge and that Of
tho schools; thus shall you plant and
rear a flower for the circles of society
which shall be equally valuable for
its fragrance and its intrinsic worth.

a GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.



TTNDER this title win be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Geographic
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
ilustrious the service OF the country. Every por
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten
tion and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re-
public.
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Cal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
Recommendation His daguerreotypes in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avgnon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects Superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 10 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose. tBaa5t7f atl &sfets
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names OF those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments OF life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthYa and enduring
ument to the great men of the Republic whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of glorious Union, will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in soconmendable an
undertaking, that its publication may make era in
the progress of American Art, and by grouping the
ilhstrious of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly. l sy.a, q,
AS no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most of our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

WASHINGTON Monument. "a.

The Managers Of the Washington Mon
Ument Association, propose that c3llec.
lions in aid of this great national work,
shall be made throughout the Union, BY
the agency of the Assistant Marshals
employed in taking the Census. The
proposition, we think, will commend it.
self to general favor.
Since the laying of the corner stone
ION the 4th of July Is4s,) the work has
been in rapid progress. and over $780,
600 has been expended Tho monu-
ment has attained the height of go feet,
and befors the close of the present sea-
son, it will have become one of the most
prominent objects of interest ia the, vi
cinity of the Fede;al City. 1t is con-
structed of white marble, and when car
ried to the height proposed $500 or 500
fcet,) it will be the most magnificent ed
ifce of the kind, the world has ever seen
1t will be worthy Of the man who was
" first in. war, first in peace, and first in
the hearts Of his countrymcn." Every
American citizen will surely desire to aid
in the completion Of this great and noble
undertaking. ..s-.~as.s,. ri -.
In order that this may be. in truth, the
work Of the people, subscriptions of
moderate amount only are desired, and
it is expected that the name of each con-
tlibutor will be entered upon the sub
seription. book, in his own hand writing
These books are to be deposited in an
apartment of the monument, for public
inspection. The amount collected ip
each District, will also be published.
The people Of Connecticut need not be
urged to furnish their full proportion
to do their part in evincing theirgratitude
and vencraton, for the character and the
deeds of Washington.
1t is proper to add that the P. esidept
OF the U. 8. is e.c~o6scio, President of the
Association, and that the list of Mana
gers is headed with the name Of Gen.
Winfield Scott. The pecuniarv affairs
OF the Association, are under the direction
Of Hon. Elisha Whlttlesey, as general
Agent. ~
