The Dignity Of Lab:r
Yours &c.
POWIIATTAN.

The Cr4at mass of mankind are laborers
The broad sweep of that universal law,
that in the sweat Of our face we shall cat
our bread, lays On the race the stern al
tentative work Or starve. In some
lights this looks like the law of hard mas
ter; ard the phiosophic friend of human
ity is saddencd at the spectacle of all this
WEAKNESS and toll, barren alike for body
and soul, and very naturally wonders how
this drudgcry and care can be made to
harmonic with the dignity of mans ma
ture, or the benevolcncc Of mans Creator.
What relation has the bent back and the
furrowcd brow, and the hard hand and the
worn-out frame, and the overtaskcd brain
and the weary sinking heart, with the
growth of the immortal mind, and with all
those settcr aspirations of the soul-those
most characteristic marks Of the Divine
finger which formed it
These and a thousand questions like
them, which pass through the thoughtful
mind, would be hard to answer, if there
were not brighter side to the decrec.-
But once find in this law the noble pur-
pose and the beneficial results of labor
let down upon this busy, toiling scene of
life the beautiful light of the Creators
love, and the difficulty vanishcs. Wo:k is
mans appointed tasll-thc great mission
he is sent upon. Labor is not merely a
necessity, but duty-the fulflment of a
responsible trust-obcdience to wisely
imposed and bcnc iccnt law.
You are obliged to work Thank God
and all your stars for it Out of his inf
mite treasure, house OF gifts, we know not
that the Creator could find q more pre-
e.ous OF than this same necessity Of labor.
In the midst of your wcarincs and pain,
think moment labor Of some sort lies
at the foundation Of all progress, all hope,
all good, here or hereafter. From first to
last, life is a school to teach activity, cf-
fort, labor. Every sense and every mus
Gle OF the body must be trained; every
lateIlcctuat and moral power within us has
to be brought out and cultivated. Nature
is vigorous old school-dame; and he
morning greeting and evening charge to
her pupllsis, what the voice Of conscience
within us is,-he that will not work shall
not cat. We are not sent into the world
to be sheep, to crop the spontaneous herb
age Of the fields, and then rcclinc on II
stomachs i'll thoughtlcss rcposc. Nature
gives nothing but the raw material. which
We must work up for our wants. Thoughts
as we'll as wool, must be combcd and spun ;
virtue as well as gold, must be dug out,
clcanscd and assayed; hon)r, station,

New-York Correspondence, NO IL.

New York, June %. 1871.
To the Editor of the Literary Echo
DEAR SIR,--There are some curious pa
ses in New York life which, | presume,
have not reached your "enterprising"
place. Among other city laws, is one re-
quiring an attending physician to furnish
a certificate setting forth the nature Of his
patients disease in every fatal case, and
forbidding sections to inter any dead body
without a medical certificate showing that
the death occurred from "natural causes, "
The loose manner in which this law is OBJ
served, and the way in which it is often
eyadcd, is q scandal to civilized society,"
The city Coroner, in looking over pile
of these medical certificates, q few days
since, discovered some queer ones, at least,
not to say suspicious. These certificates
are often given by ignorant quacks and
pretenders who are not only ignorant of
the rudiments of medical science, but they
can scarcely put together dozen words Of
their mother tongue consecutively without
being guilty of numbering the Queens
English. Were it not so grarc q subject
one might be inclined to smile at the
wording of some of these certificates, as
well as the singular diseases Of which the
subjects, died. For instance witness the
following
New York, June 9th, 1851.
Mrs. Bauer's Karoline, daughter, aged
weeks, died qcith deficiency Of life, to-day,
under my attendance Last residence, Al
Mulberry street.
New York, May Sth. 1851.
Mr.. Hurton's son John, aged lOmonths,
died of pom of breath, this day under my
attendance. Residence 90 Willet street.
New York, June 18th, rSjl.
Albertus Hoffman, aged l5 years, died,
at the residence of his father, this day OF
~ -. A&%%Y&
q dedthly dISedc.
If these gentlemen never murdered
anything but the Queens English they
might be endured. There is no doubt but
there are plenty of people killed sccnndan
ortum, but the victims of these charlaton;
are much more numerous. They have nc
more conjunction about prescribing some
of their poisonous nostrums to man thar
they would in prescribing dose oFsalt'
to sick kitten. And there arc plenty o
people who stand ready to be gulled by thu
first humbug that comes along. Look a
the enormous fortunes accumulated In
few years by III, sale Of pills, or a dccoc
ton of few herbs swcctcned with molas
ss and containing brandy enough to max

Fretty Hands.

Some matter of fact genius rap3 the
knuckles Of pretty hands very roughly.
Just hear him:
"Delicate, beautiful hands Dear Miss
how do you contlivc to make your hands
SO pretty; And such rings, too, as if 10
draw attention that way. Let us feel them
Oh dear how soft and tender.

nothing from daylight to dark, but l,eep

Will man of common sense marry you
for your delicate honds A person that
is real man would prefer to see them
blackcncd occasionally by coming in con-
tact with pot hooks and trammclos, and
callouscd by a day or two's rubbing at the
washboard. Pretty fingers indeed what
are they for but to move over the piano,
or to stick through gold rings! Like
many of the vain things of the earth, they
are kept to show and nothing more. For
your part we would rather see the mout in
actual service and as tough as a coquett's
conscience than so tender that fy's
foot will make an impression upon them

Mrs. JUDsoN.-This lady is now in
England, unless she has left there for her
native land. BY the last Of this, or the
first of the next month, she will probably
be with her relatives and friends in Ham
iton. The preparation of her husbands
biography will no doubt claim her early
attention. AS the public is look n for it,
and looking for something worthy of that
eminent missionary, her aid will be indis-
pcnsablc to the person who may be selec-
ted to prepare it Liberal extracts will
be required from the public and private
correspondence Of the deceased, and vari-
Gus other documents which she alone has
in her possession. To insure any proper
patronage this work must be done we'll.
No one will want superficial affair, but
every one will want a copy if prepared
with fd 9lity, and ability, to put in his libra
ry and transmit to his postcrity. The life
of Mr.. j. runs along thc whole line of our
foreign mission operations, from their car
Gest commencement to the present day !;
and Prof. Gammcll is the nan in the minds
Of brethren generally, to engage in the
work. We hope he may be the choice Of
Mrs. j. likewise. lie certainly has ac-
quilted himself well in his history.
