Labor and Money Power.

The eloquent Rev. Mr.. Chaplin, thus speaks of
the achievements of labor. He asks " who can
adequately describe the triumphs of labor urged on
by the potent spell of money. 1t has extorted the
secrets of the universe and trained its powers into
myriads of forms of use and beauty. From the
bosom of the old creation, it has developed anew
the creation of industry and art. 1t has been its
task and its glory to overcome obstacles. Noun
tains have been levelled and valleys been exalted
before it. 1t has broken the rocky soil into fertile
clades; it has crowned hill-tops with fruit and
verdure, and bound around the very feet of ocean,
ridges of golden corn. Up from the sunless and
hoary deeps, up from the shapeless quarry, 1t
drags its spoless marbles and its palaces OF
pomp 1t tears the stubborn metals from the
bowels of the globe, and makes them ductile to Its
will. 1t marches steadily on over tine swelling
flood and through tie mountain clefts. 1t fans Its
way through the winds of ocean, tratnples them IN
Its course, surges and mingles them with fakes of
fire. Civilization follows ia its paths. ii achieves
grander victories, it wears more durable tro-
phies it holds wider sway than the conqueror. Ills
name becomes tainted and his monuments crunlble
but labor converts his red battle fields into gardens,
and erects monuments significant OF better things
It rides in a chariot driven by the wind 1t writes
with the lightning. 1t sits crowned as queen In
thousand Cities and sends up its roar OF triumph
from million wheels. 1t glistens IN the fabric OF
the loom it rings and sparkles IRON the steely
hammer, it glories in shapes of beauty, 1t speaks
in words of power it marks the sinewy arm, strong
with liberty the poor mans heart rich and content,
crowns the swarthy and sweaty brow with honor:
and dignity and peace.

Pulsifer looked corfounded-he did not know
how to take me. At last he stammered out,
" Now Squire, are you in earnest ?" "Certainly
am" answered; 1t is better for me to feed
your sheep in my pasture on grass, than to feed
them here on grain; and see the fence can't
keep them OUT"
After moments silence" the sheep shan't

The CalOric Ship.

The New York Tribune of January 2l, contains
the following item, in relation to this ship which
is the latest intelligence we have in regard to her
"Capt. Ericsson, Of the Caloric ship, states that
there is the slightest for doubtn relation
to this enterprise. The new engines are complet-
ed, and have been at work several days, their
operation proving eOnclusvely that the practical
difficulties which attended the first arrangement
have all been overcome. The new engines are
much reduced in size, while their principle of ac-
ton is the same before, with this exception only,
that condensed atmospheric air is employed in place
of the ordinary atmospheric, for producing the
motive power. This modification admits Of an
increase of power, limited only by the capabiity
of retaining the pressure in the machine Some
difficulty has been experienced in this respect, and
it is this which has caused some delay recently.
The obstacle is, however, nearly removed, and the
public will shortly have an opportunity of Judging
from practical evidence of themerits of the Calcric

1t was not mere good nature but adoption OF

peculiar relish will illustrate this moulding OF his
character-the gradual progress of his mind IN
adopting the peace principles. Il had SAID ne,
fine field Of grain, growing upon an out farm at
some distance from the homestead. Whenever
rode by, saw my neighbor Pulsifer's sheep In the
lot, destroying my hopes of harvest. These sheep
were of the gaun, long cared kind, active as span
iels; they could spring over the highest fence, and
no partition could keep them out. l complained to
neighbor pulsifer about them, sent him frequent
messages but all without avail Perhaps they
would be kept out for a day or two, but the legs
of his sheep were long, and my grain rather more
tempting than the adjoining pasture rode by
again-the sheep were still there, became angry,
and told my men to set the dogs on them, and if
that would not do, l would pay them if they would
shoot the sheep.

Misspent Labor

Mrs. Swisshelm, the Editress of the Pittsburg
Visitor, has recently visited the Crystal Palace in
New York. She is a great advocate for utility
and consequently conceives that every great effort
of human skill and industry, should be made for
some decidedly useful purpose. 1t may be inter-
esting to see the views she expresses on the sub
ject of NJ Mosaic work, making patchwork bed quilts
and working worsted. Read what she says:
"To us, 'misspent labor was written all over the
exhibition, or at best the proportion of things of no
use. and OF results which might have been at
tanned at twentieth of the labor, were as two to
one, of the useful and the sensible.
The portrait of John the Baptist in Mosaic, Is
an object of interest. Queen Victoria offered
fifteen hundred pounds for it, but it is valued at
S6O,OOO Well, this great master piece Of Italian
art, and monument of human patience, looks very
like St John in cross stitch or fine old paint
ing cracked and about to chip off the canvas.
Some parts of the shading and blending are
very wonderful, when we reflect it is all done with
minute pieces of stone of the natural color; but
in most parts the joining can easily be detected.
and this gives it the 'cross stitch appearance we
notice. Altogether, it is certainly misspent labor,
for the effect could have been much better obtained
in an oil painting.
The piece is copy of portrait in oil, and it is
not according to the natural order of things to
have an imperfect imitation worth more than the
original. 1t is not worth while to spend lifetime
making stone picture, when better one in oil
can be made in a month.
All this applies to the Mosaic tables. one of
which is valued at S1,500; to the miniature
watches, ten cent locomotives, patchwork quilts,
worsted worked cats and dogs, needle worked
Henry Clays, &C., &c. 1t is all labor which
brings no adequate result, and which should send
the laborer to lunatic asylum.
We never could understand how a woman in the
exercise of reason, could spend her time in cutting
calico into little bits, and sewing it together
again. when it looked so much better in the whole
cloth, or in working cross-sttch roses for stool
covers, when for fifty cents they could get bit of
carpet that would look better On stool, than the
work of six months in Berlin wool.
Well, the cutting of wood and stone into bits,
and fitting them into a picture, when better one
can be made by painting, is more conclusive evi-
dence of insanity.
Mosaic is the worsted work Of artists-the
patchwork of the wiser SEX"

+" Westward the course of Empire takes its
way"
We have seen the above line attributed to SO
many different authors, American and English,
that we copy the whole Poem containing it, as
written by BIsHoP BERKELEY, 125 years ago. The
author died in 1753,-a century ago,-but his WIS.,
ion seems to have partaken somewhat of the pro-
phetic type, as the developments of modern years
appear to indicate. He spent few years on the
American continent, and the Poem was written
when his mind was filled with the subject of his
emigration. He returned to England. and died at
Oxford, in 1853.
Verses the prospect Of planting ihc Arts and
Learning i'm America. SD
BISHOP BERKELEY, in I7as.
The muse, disguised nj al age and cline
Barren of every glorious theme,
In distant lands now waits better time,
Producing subjects worthy fame.
In happy climes, where from the genial sun
And virgin earth, such scenes ensue,
The force Of art by nature seems outdone,
And fanoied beauties by the true.
In happy chimes, the seat of innocence,
Where guides and virtue rules,
Where men shall not impose for truth and sense
The pedantry Of courts and schools.
There shall be sung another golden age,
The rise of empire and of ars,
The good and great inspiring epic rage,
The wisesf heads and noblest hearts.
Not such as Europe breeds in her decay;
Such a she bred when fresh and young,
When heavenly flame did animate her clay,
By future poets shall be sung.
Westward the course Of empire takes its nay;
The four first acts already past,
A fifth shall close the drama with the day.
Times noblest offspring is the last.
