VARIETY.
Dignity of Vocation.

No impression prevailing in society, is
more false or fatal to the manhood of n
people, than that which gauges mans
worth or rcspectability by The field of labor
or profession he occupies, SO long as that lab
or or profession is useful or honest. And we
hold every useful vocation to he honest:
denying most cmphatically, that dishonesty
is ever useful. The nobility of man in this
country not depending, thank God! upon
hereditary honor, title or wealth, should
flow not from the nature of his honest toll.
hut from the spirit he carries to that toll;
the spirit by which, will, or against the smiles
OF temporal fortune, he shapes his career
among and his intercourse with his fellow
men. 1t has ever been our conviction that
he is more of the true man, who turns CHM
ney-sweepIng to an honest Independents ac-
count, than he, who scornine the rough
tolls of the humble and needy, IS willing to
live an idIer-howcvcr proudly caparisoned,
upon the industry, sweat and blood of his
fellow-men.
Henry Clay-republican in all his in
st'ncts-paid the workingman just and
noble compliment, when he said to a me
chanic as he shook his hard hand, and pon
ted to the city palaces and spires. "behold
on every side the monuments to your ploryl"
What matters it whether one carry the iol
or the plumbline; whether one mixes the
morter or handles the trowel, SO long as
each is essential to the progressive triumphs
OF human attainments in all outward res
pects3 We would not have a man descend
to inferior conditions of toll voluntarily. If
he has the chance and capacity for the sup m
erior, but we would have every man feel
that, when necessity commands, there is no
useful labor dishonorable. The Lord Chan

And only lingering left behind
