W ofkl Uofk!

/ have seen and heard of people who
thought 1t beneath them to work, to EMPLOY
themselves industriously at some useful labor.
Beneath them to work! Why work is the
great motto Of life and he who accomplishes
the most by his industry, is the most distin-
guished man among his fellows, too. And
the man who forgets his duty to himself, his
fellow creatures, and his God-who so far
forgets the great blessings of life, as to allow
his energies TO. stagnate in inactivity and
uselessness, had better die: for says HOLY
Writ, ale that will not work, neither shall
he eat" An idler is a cumberer of the
ground, weary curse to himself, as well as
to those around him. ...E,.
Beneath human beings to work. Why,
what but the continued history that brings
forth the improvement that never allows him
to be contented with any attainment he may
have made, of work that he may have effec-
ted, what but this raises man above the brute
creation, and, under Providence, surrounds
him with comforts, luxuries and refnements !;
physical, moral, and intellectual blessings |!
The great orator, the great poet, and the great
scholar, are great working men. Their voca-
ton is infinitely more laborious than that of
the handicraftsman; and the students'life has
more anxiety than that of any other man.
And all, without the perseverance,, the in
tention 10 real industry, cannot thrive.
Hence the number of mere pretensions to
scholarship, or those who have not strength
and industry to be real scholars, but stop half
way, and are smatterers, "a shame to the pro-
fession.
Beneath human beings to workI Look
in the artists studio, the poets garret, where
the genius of Immortality stands ready to
seal his work with an uneffaceable signet,
and then you win only see industry stand
by his side, .'ss
Beneath human beings to work! why,
| had rather that child of mine should Ia
Dor regularly at the lowest, meanest employ
ment, than 10 waste its body, mind and soul,
in folly, idleness, and uselessness. Better to
wear out in year, than TO rust out in GEN.

Santa Ana is now dictator Of Mexico, with
the terms of decree, issued on the 18th ult,
accepting the dictatorship, he takes to himself
the title Of Most Serene Highness," is to con-
tinue invested with his present powers so long
as he shall deem necessary, and may name
successor in case of his death or moral disqual-
ifcation. Since his return from Carthagcna,
Santa Ana has evidently been making his way
towards the establishment Of a throne in Next
CO, and events are now certainly shaping in IA
vor Of an accomplishment of his ambitious pur-
poses. 1t is by no means improbable that he
will yet wear an imperial crown, and that his
country will hereafter cease to be numbered a.
mong such as are even nominally republican. We
can not say that the progress of the great Next
can is to be regarded with regret Mexico is
unfit to be republic. 1t is thirty years since
her independence was achieved, and during this
time her hapless population has manifested lit
tie else than an utter incapacty for self govern
ment. Revolution has succeeded revolution
No government there organized has proved eff
fectual for any Of the purposes for which gov
eminent should be instituted. The nation is
bankrupt. Her resources are neglected and ev-
cry branch Of industry is in thrifIess condi
ton. She has been unable to defend herself
against invasion, or to protect herself from in.
surrection. She has been fast going to decay.
and her only hope of immediate escape from
anarchy and ruin seems to be in the establish.
ment of rigorous despotism under Santa Ana
But whether the dictator will be able to es.
tablish his power on a firm footing is at best
predetermined. He may stay, but it is hardly
probable that he will avert the downfall to which
his nation is now so surely tending. Mexico
will not be resuscitated until her inhabitants
shall feel the presence, and be infused with the
spirit of better race. Her ultimate destiny is
manifest, and the day when disposition of the
whole or some part Of her territory will come
| to form n serious subject for our consideration

TRADE OF THE LAKES.

The commerce of these great inland seas is
acquiring magnitude and Importance which at
test the rapidity with which the territory which
they drain has been rendered productive. Hall
q century ago lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, Mich
igan, st. George and Superior were entirely
without commerce Almost the only craft to De
seen upon them was the Indian canoe. In 1850
their tonnage had risen to $4,000, and the value
of the traffic to 362,00O,O00 of dollars. The
first craft ever launched on lake Erie was built
by the French, for the expedition OF the celebra-
ted La Sale, so far back as 1879; but more
than century elapsed before any American ves-
sci was launched upon the lakes; an event
which occurred in 1897. The first steamer
launched in America was builtin Lower Canada,
to run between Montreal and Quebec. This
was about 1912, the legislature of that Prov
ince having in the Session Of 1911 granted a
monopoly Of the route to Mr.. Moulson. Mr..
Papineau is even yet reminded that he voted for
this monopoly; but We suspect it was pardon
able act in those days. The first steamer on
lake Ontario was launched in 1916; two years
before like event took place on lake Erie
The first navigable outlet from the lakes-the
Erie Canal-was completed in 1926. Next came
the Welland Canal.
The measurements of the lakes are as fol
lows:

Mr.. Donald Mckay, the builder Of the man,.
moth ship "Great Republic" launched from his
ship-yard in Boston, on the 3lst nit, clipper Of
$500 tons, just completed for Liverpool house.
This is the first ship ever built in the U. States
for an English house. Mr.. Mckay has another
vessel, of $500 tons bur,hen, on the stocks, for
the same house.
According to the N. Y. Jour. Of Com, the
damage to this ship is not as great IA at first
supposed. 5000 tons of freight were untoncf-
ed by fire, and is only damaged by water. The
ship has been raised and pumped out, and may
yet, her owner says, be made into as fine steam
er as floats.

The CALoRIc SHIP ERIcssoN.--While opin-
ion, or at least public curiosity, has consigned to
oblivion the Ericsson and its inventor, he has
not ceased, during the past six months, to labor
for that perfection which he promised to intro
duce in his system at the end Of the first exper-
iment. The termination of his labor approach
es, and shortly the Ericsson, ready to commence
her trials, will again occupy the attention Of the
entire world.
The notifications which Mr.. Ericsson has in
troduced in his ship are very important The
old cylinders have been taken out, with all the
pstons, furnaces, cranks, and regeneraors with
which they were accompanied. In the place Of
these cylinders, which were four in number, and
of vast dimensions, disposed perpendicular to the
axis of the ship, four other cylinders OF less d.
mansions, have been introduced in the direction
of the keel; making with it an angle of about
forty-ive degrees, and more inclined towards
each other. Four auxiliary cylinders have been
placed on the sides Of the principal ones, one on
each side.
We see thus the present machinery of Mr.
Ericsson is composed Of six cylinders, two of
which drive the piston, and four auxiliaries.-
The impelling cylinders are each six feet in d.
ders, being of double capacity, and considered
| tnerepy, as caPapio Vi ProuuciuS "S uluch uSeiu'
work as the four immense cylinders, with single
capacity originally employed, because they will
be worked at high pressure In addition, in the
new machinery the same air will be employed in
definitely, and we repeat it, at high PRESSURE
Such is the chief difference which exists between
the old and the new machinery of Mr.. Ericsson.
The new Regeneration, although possessing a
different form, will continue to operate on the
same principle, and consequently constitute the
chief feature of the entire economy of this sys-
TEN. 1t is indeed, the soul Of the Ericsson ma
chine.
Mr.. Ericsson proposes to depart very shortly
for Europe in his ship. He estimates that the
Ericsson will attain now double the speed it at
tanned during the divers trials of which we have
heretofore rendered account.

At Muskegon, Mich, on the 7th inst, of typhoid
fever, Mrs. URsA A. ", wife of G. Davis, aged 90
years. 3 months and 10 days.
The deceased was the youngest daughter of Ez.
ra Hyde. Esq, of Verona, Trumbull County, Ohio
moved to Muskegon. On the Odd ult. she gave
birth to daughter, and was apparently doing
well until the appearance of the typhoid fever,
which rendered all efforts for her relief hopeless.
In all the relations of life she exhibited those en-
obling traits which won the respect and esteem Of
all who knew her. AS an affectionate daughter
she was the pride and soace of her aged parents;
as a wife she was the guiding star Of hope to her
husband as well in the hours of anxiety and care
as in prosperity and joy; as practical Christian.
her example is worthy of emulation. Though her
illness was protractcd and severe, her Christian
fortitude and patience sustained her to the last
giving assurance to all, that though she is dead to
us, she yet lives.
She is not dead, but slecpeih."

Her remains were then consigned to their last rest.

Pres. BRIGHAM YoUNG's ADDREss.-The Utah
functionary has recently published an address TO
his people on Indian affairs principally, which is
aperfect model of plain speaking. The follow
ing extract will prove worthy of attention.:
81 say TO the Indians, as have often said to
the mob, go your length. You say you are 60
ing to kill us all off. You say you are going to
obliterate the Latter Day Saints, and wipe them
from The earth. Why don't you do it, you poor
miserable cursess The mob only had power to
drive them to their duty, and TO remember the
Lord their God, and that is all the Indians can
do. This people are worldly minded; they want
to get rich in earthly substance, and are apt to
forget their God, the pit from which they were
hewn, every man turning his own way Seem
ingly the Lord is Christening US until we turn
and do his will. What are you willing to do L?
Would you be willing to build fort, and all 90
in it and live. | tell you, you would have he'll
of your own, and devils enough to carry it on.
Do you suppose you will ever see the time YOU
would do that, and live at peace with each other,
and have the spirit of the Lord enough to look
each other in the face, and say with heart full
of kindness, Good morning, Mary or How do
you do Maria? You will be whipped until you
have the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ sufficient.
ly to love your brethren and sisters, freely men,
women, and children"
