Work! Work II have seen and heard of
people who thought it beneath them to work
to employ themselves industrious y at some
useful labor. Beneath them to work! Why
work is the great motto of life; and he who ac-
compishes the most by his industry, is the
most distinguished man among his fellows, zoo.
And the man who forgets hisduty to himself his
fellow creatures, and his God-who so far for.
gets the great blessings of life, as to allow his
energies to stagnate in inactivitity and useless
ness, had better die: for, says Holy Writ, "He e
that will not work. neither shall he eat" An
idIes is cumberer Of the ground, weary
curse to himself, as well as to those around him.
Beneath human beings to work! Why, what
but the continued history that brings forth the
improvement that never allows him to be con.
tented with any attainment he may have made,
Of work that he may have effected, what but
this raises man above the brute creation, and,
under Providence, surrounds him with comforts,
luxuries and reinements; physical, moral and
intellectual blessingsl The great orator, the
great poet, and the great scholar, are great
working men, Their vocation is infinitely
more laborous that that of the handicraftsman;
and the students life has more anxiety than
that of any other man. And all, without the
perseverance,, the intention TO real industry,
cannot thrive. Hence the number of mere pre-
tensions to scholarship, or those who have not
strength and industry to besreal scholars, but
stop half way, and are smatterers, a shame to
the profession.
Beneath human beings 10 work. Look 10
the artists studio, the poets garret, where the
genius of immortality stands ready oseal his
work with an unefaceable signet, and then You
will only see industry stand by his side. Il -

REVOLUTIONARY ANECDoTE.-A correspon.
dent of the N. H. Patriot furnishes the follow.
ing:
"When the British were at Boston, in l776,
nv father was in BARRIERS shop waiting to
be shaved. A British Officer came in and
wanted to be shaved, provided the barber could
do it without drawing blood, and saying it ne
did not he would run his sword through him.
The barber was frightened and dare not under
take the task. A little boy sitting there spoke
up and said he would do it. He looked at the
bow with astonshment but the boy stripped
off his coat and told him to take seat. lie
took off the officers beard without drawing
blood, and was paid guinea for his trouble.
The officer then asked how he ventured to do
it. as he had been to every barber'sr shop in
town and no one before dared TO do it The
boy replied, II thought should see the blood
as soon as you would, and ifI had, / would
lave cut your throat to the back bone in mo
ment." The British officer hung down his head
and left, amid shouts Of applause for the boy"

queer freaks with his wand. The last innoya-

This is to certify that | was called in to see the

thought, beyond all hope of recovery. After
this was called in consultation with her regular

ed by taking q severe cold. l did not see her

heard of its great effects in other cases in this VI
cinity. l have no inducement to make this
