Labor Saving.

We have often been puzzled 10 know why
it is, that people in other nations can earn
their subsistence with half OF their minds,
whilst we seem obliged TO throw our whole
souls into the business. We should also like
10 understand, why, in these days, when
steam does most of the hardest work, we
should have TO toll as many hours every day
as our lorefathers did, whose acquaintance
with steam was derived chiefly from a slum-
bcrous observation Of the tea kettle. For a
century, ingenious men have been contriving
labor sariag machines but whose labor has
been saved therebyl II used to take the
farmer half the winter 10 thresh out hisgrain;
he does it now in one day but he is as busy
as ever. What is the use of having the Pa
tent Office packed with models, and Of hav-
ing labor saving machines in every shop,
and house, and barn, and shed, if, after all,
most of us are obliged 10 work as hard and
as long as people did in the good old stupid
days of the revolution? None, that VIC can
sec. But il seems the good time is coming
at last. On large number of wholesale
stores, down town, may now be seen no.
tico to the following effect :-"This store
will be closed hereafter at three o'clock on
Saturday." Three hours are thus clipped
from the end of the week-precious hours
10 those who know how 10 use them. But
why at the END Of the week Would it
not be better to let out store al three O'Clock
on Wednesdays, as schools were formerly,
and give the clerks a breathing time at the
halfway house between Sunday and Sun
day? But Saturday is good, though We'd
nesday might be better and we congratu-
late the mercantile community upon the res
cue of one hundred and filly-six hours per
annum, from the soul-oblivion Of business.
We trust the fashion will take. We hope
the time is not very far distant when one af-
ternoon in every week will be a universal
holiday. We shall then believe there is
something in the Patent Office, notwilh-
standing present appearances are against it.

unquestlonably one of the most honorabla
circumstances in his history, that in his
carly years, while by lis own cxertions he
was aiding his father in the expense Of his
support at college, taking long vacations and
employing them as teacher, that hcunder-
took also the the assistance of a brother
through the same course. There was an
unsclhshnoss in this, highly to the young
mans credit. So was also his diligence to
make the most of the advantages which by
Sel-denlal his parents procured for him
His college life is spoken of by those who
were his classmates the number now
lS few-as remarkable for diligence and ap-
plicdtion. He counted his privileges as so
much distracted from the daily means and
comforts of his parents, and took care that
the sacrifice which was made for him should
not be in vain. Through his life it is said
of him that he carried the motto, that
"whatever is worth doing at all is worth
doing well )" and great in intellect as he
was, he never ventured upon any public
performance without careful preparation.
His speeches were full of facts-facts which
it were folly to suppose that even Daniel
Webster could keep constantly in mind, and
ready everywhere, and at a moments notice
to apply. They were sought out for the
occasion to which they applied. No doubt
be had in his mind general knowledge of
their existence. He knew where to find
them and when he wished 10 use, sought
out and arranged them
1t need not, however, be imagined that
in these respects Daniel Webster was alone
or even peculiar. So far as our observa-
ton has extended, he was the type of the
New England character. His superior and
truly wonderful intellect produced greater
results by the same means, than common
mind can compass but his genius would
have fitted him for a lemagogue, and moth
ing more, without his industry. Perhaps
he would not even have scared so high as
this--for when we speak OF a demagoguc
We do not mean a small politician, the light
of little circle of townsmcn and neighbors,
but such popular politician as the many
Of which we have specimens; men who by
dint Of clevcrness are known far and wide,
with nothing really TO entitlo them TO that
distinction.
Education derives not only its value but
its thoroughness from the cost with which
it is acquired. Brilliant but superficial
men ARE tho product of lavish expenditure,
careless and uncounted but he who knows
that his training is costing his parents their
comforts, and depriving his sisters of adyan-
tages, takes care that what is so dearly
bought is worth the sacrifice made for it,.

thy days may be long in the land"

O-"Dear me :" said Mrs. Partington,
and so she is dear-not that she meant so
because under that black bonnet is humility,
and el(-praise forms no part Of her reflection.
II was simple ejaculation, that was all ;
our word for it. 'Dear me, hero they are
going to have war aguin over the sea, and
only for a Turkey, and it don't say how
much it weighed either, nor whether it was
tender and Prince Knockemstiff has gone
off in a milf, and the Rushin bears and Au-
striches are all to be let loose 10 devour the
people, and heaven knows where the end OF
il will leave of. War is a dreadful thing
so destroying to temper and good clo'es,
and men shoot at each other Jest as if they
was gutter-purchase, and cheap al that."-
How sorrowfully tine cover of the snuff box
shut, as Fhe ceased speaking, and the spec
tacles looked dewy, like tumbler in sum
mer-heat filed with iee-water, as she looked
at the profile Of the corporal with the sprig
of sweet fern above it, and the old sword
behind the door. What did Ike mean as he
stole in, and deposited some red article un-
der the cricket upon which her feet rested,
and then stole out again ? A kissing sound
followed snap! bang whiz went
a bunch of crackers, and Mrs. Partinglon,
in CONSERVATION and cloth slippers, danced
about the room, lorgetful Of the distant war
in her present alarm. All, Ike !--Post.

clines-and that, too, without troubling him
self to make any explanation. He says it
would be very agreeable--that nothing
would give him more pleasure-but that

must deny himself"
"Psfhaps he is poor"
"That can hardly be said of him. No /;

discuSsion,-or rather as the case had been
disposed of,-the subject of their remarks
made bis appearance. Whatever might
have been their opinions of him in the ab.
straet, bis entrance was the signal Of well
come. All were glad to see him and he
must be a rare favorite who, in spite of all
such objections as were urged against VIII
hams, can still retain the cordial respect Of
his companions. On every subject which
presented itself, bis opinion was asked and
deferred to. In light conversation, his was

vened the hour. 10 more sober topics, re-
