w 0rk!-what extremes in human liza
are suggested by this little monosyllablei
W hat varied interpretations may be plAca,i
on this one short world And how diff!,r.
emily is i, considered in each circle tbr'o
which wo might ,rnce its universal appli-
cation, from the light and elegant occupo-
ton of affluence, downwards to the ioilsome
drudgery of necessity! One picture gives
US the fair and accomplished daughters OF
our land seated before iheh embreidery
frames, surrounded by colors as bright m
the rainbow's hues- wsrsied, and silk, and
golden threads, scattered in rich psofusion,
with every accessory to interest and ainuse;
but, before the leaf or the flowes, or the
cunning device is half copied on the can-
vas, some anxious parent or careful friend
will approach, and, in tones OF fond en-
trenty, request them to lay il aside, les, the
graceful figure should be injsrad or the
radiant eyes made dim by work! And this,
again. is the term TO designate the employ
ment that has followed the cheek and chill
led the life-blood of The weary occupants
ofmany solitary garret, who. signing.
listen to the midnight chime, ,nnd think that
even then they cannot lay it BY to rest.
Such are the extremes. Would that
neither boundary was so strongly marked,
and that little abitual sef.denial, in the
one instance, might aford means 10 lessen
the privations Of the other. When Lord
Colingwood wrote home, enioining his
wife to inspire his daughters with "a con.
tempt for vanity and embroidery" it might
almost be imagined thai the gallant admi-
raj had prophetic glimpse Of the expen-
dlure Of time and money lavshed by the
present generation on this fascinating pur.
suit. But tis the abuse, not the use, Of
any thing, which renders it reprehegsible;
and we may remember it was saying of
the sagacious DR.. Johnson, that many a
man might have escaped hanging, had he
known how TO hem pocket handkerchief.
Let our fair country women, then, enjoy
this recreation as recreation, not an all.
engressing pursuit; and lie, US oil, both men
and women, feel thankful that the needle
has provided an antidote against lisiless-
ness in one class, and means Of liveli-
hood for another. s- &

lishrnents Of more modern kings, and the
Iaxurients foliage Of trees and shrubbery
have .uowsinyested even this uncouth order
