ENERGy.-Encrgy is everything.
How mean thing is a man with little
motive power! All the abilities nature
has given him lie useless, like q great
and mighty machine, ready at every
point for action, but not wheel turns
for want of starting power. A great man
is like great machine. He has grea.
power to set in motion the various and
immens projects which he has in his
head little motives can neither start
nor stop him they set in motion the
powers of an ordinary man and render
him a respectable, nay, even beauti-
full piece Of mechanism, but never a
magnificent one Yet there is one thing
which renders man supremacy above the
machine. By the working of his own
mind he can improve and exalt himself;
by directing his eye to what is great and
good, he may become so. If, then, we
can become what we wish to be, what
high objects should we aim at: and what
resolute and energetic efforts should We
b ever making to attain them :

POETRY
THE LARORER'S SONG.


Let the rich man tell how his Golfers
swell
And treasures await his nod;
With gems OF the mine let him build his
shrine,
And worship the golden god!
How poor he is still, with a limitless
will,
When he looks with content in vain,
And envies the lot Of the lowliest cot
That is free from the worldiing's pain.
Let him revel and feast there's time
at least
When gaiety charms no more;
When the heart grows cold, and the
limbs wax old,
And the brightness Of youth is Ger !;
" hen the man Of wealth would barter
for health
The whole Of his costly gear!
But the die is cast, and the day is past,
For he rests ca his 'scutehcon i bier
But the sons Of toll. who harrow the soil,
Are happier far than he;
They delve and they strive, that others
NAV live,
With spirits unclaimed and free
From the dawn Of light to tie close Of
night,
The laborer ploddeth on;
But he lays his head on a fearless bed
When his daily work is done.
And hard though his fare, not shad :.
is there
To darken his humble home
And the crust is sweet few others would
greet,
For a blessing doth with it core,
And :. cheerful smile can his brow De-
guile,
For it flies from tie pleasure won.
And turns from the great with the poor
TO mate,
Bcfriending the lowly born !:
And the laborer's life is freed from strife
That the men Of the world pursue
He utters no word he would wish I'M
heard,
For honest he is and true
With conscious worth he cen face the
earth,
Aud its blsakeSt winds defy
With hope for bis guide he can stem
the tide,
And trust to a cloud.css sky.

HIw DUMAS Writes. In his way
Of working he is eccentric as in every
thing else. Whether owing to his Afri-
can blood, or to some peculiarly of con-
stitution, I know not, but he is afflicted
with great natural heat of body, and
has difficulty in bearing clothing upon
him. So he strips to his shirt-very
often discarding even that, and sits max
ed, with the exception Of short thin
drawers. He establishes himself at
large table, which he sprawles upon
rather than sits atm the middle Of 4
large room, and before him are large
sheets Of paper Of a uniform size. From
practice he knows exactly how much
feuilleton each Of these sheets will make.
Over this paper he crouches, in his state
of almost nudity, looking like huge,
half-bleachcd negro as he is, and scrib-
bles away with the speed Of q locomo-
tive. He writes clearly, and rarely
makes corrections, or alters even word.
As each sheet is full he thorows i, from
him, until the room is Uttered with man.
uscript. In this way he will get through
half volumn in the night-French
volumns, certainly. with very few lines
in page, but still the quantity is enor-
nous for the time. On one SIDE of him
he will have heap Of oranges, on the
other a plate of raisins-those being his
favorite refreshments when working.
From time to time he takes a bit Of an
orange, and then on again, toiling against
timc-Loadom Paper.

rooms for public instruction, and styled
himself upon tie door Professor OF

The King, in passing one day, OF
served the notice, and walking in in
quired what was meant by Universal
knowledge. The Priest answered, Of
course, it was the knowledge Of all
things possible. This answer not ex-
actIy suiting the King, he resolved to
test the capabilities of the Professor.
IF says he, you profess Universal
knowledge, then you will be able to an

pose to you. They are as follows, and
you must answer them by to morrow at

how many baskets of earth there are in

me how much the King is WORTH
Thirdly, tell me, exactly, Of what the
King is thinking about at the time"
This was different turn to affairs
from what the Professor expected, and
he was sorely perplexed. He went at

EDrToRs.-There is many a journal
list now languishing in poverty, while
dozens to whose success in life he gave
the first impulse, roll by him in their
carriages and have forgotten his very
existence. There is no country, save
ours, in the world, where journalists are
expected to do so much work for the
special benefit of others without recon-
pense. Generally, out of this country,
editors are inaccessible, if not anony-
nous; they may let you know what
they think, but not who thinks it. You
cannot walk into an EDITORS room in
London or Paris, and ask him to de-
vote his time and columns to your own
advancement or profit. Here this is
done every day, even by utter stran-
gers. Half an editors timc--some-
times bis whole day, throwing over his
work into the nights giving
up to receiving the calls, listening to
the stories, and obeying the requests of
good natured friend after another, who
drop in to try his chance of getting
ten times as valuable an advertisement
out of him for nothing. as he would be
likely to get out of the publisher by
regular paying. If he fails, he loses
nothing, for if he has plenty Of brass
left; if he succeeds, he has used his
time to decided advantage. And thus
is civility abused-thus IS good feeling
imposed upon--N. Y. Tribune.
