Never Despise Your Business.

Under this caption, the Philadelphia Led
ger sensibly remarks:
NO man of sense it has been observed
despises his bread and butter 1t is only
the weak who are ashamed of laboring for a
livelihood, or who effect to scorn the branch
of business which they especially pursue
The first duty which every man owes to him
self, to his family, and to his fellow citizens,
IS not to become burden particularly to So
ciety. That commonwealth also Is the most
fourishing in which the proportion of drones
is the fewest: indeed, the idea of perfect
state involves the necessity of every mem
Der of it being producer Hence it is that
work is always honorable. The most ord-
nary handler aft employment is as worthy, if
exercised honestly, as the profession of law
or medicine. Each citizen should follow
that avocation for which he is best suited,
and when he does this he fulfils the law of
his existence; but never otherwise A bad
lawyer is less respectable than a good me-
chanic, and an able doctor is no more meri-
tortous than an honest laborer. To do ones
duty, in the walk where one can be most eff:
ficient is to be honorable: to neglect it, or to-
seek some other walk, is to become really
disgraced. by this standard, and this only,
we should judge of mems respectability. 1t
is time that we republicans banished the ar
bitrary lines of Caste, as applied to the pur-
suits of life, which are driven from feudal
Europe. st..-&
Yet there are thousands of men who arc
at heart ashamed of their business. Are
they retail venders9 They scorn continuing
to make money in their old way, and long
to embark in the wholesale line. Are they
jobbers9 They think if they could only be
shippers that their glory Would culminate.---
Are they mechanics They regret they are
not lawyers. Are they farmers? They
think to be in business in town. Such per.
sons, in their hearts, worship absurd disfine-
tions inherited from the social life of Eng
land, and regard the physician, the politieian,
or the banker as really greater mon than isil-
man clay. These are what Thackeray calls
'snobs;' men Of pretence and weak folly; men
who dcspise their own bread and butter.=
The wise man, on the contrary, seeks indie
pendence by steadily attending to his busi-
ness, well aware that an independence, hon
estly acquired, in his best claim to esteem.
1t is young men, or rather lads, that are Of
tenest victims TO this weakness. Tens Of
thousands have been shipwrecked in life
from having chosen pursuit unsuitable to
them, tempted thereto by false notions of the
vulgarity Of q trade, and the superior digni-
ty Of commerce or a profession.

A PoRrRAIr.,--A young man wishing to
be noticed in the gay circles Of the world
buys an old watch for FIVE dollars. At the
end of four months, finding it does not keep
time as well as a new one, he pays three dol
lars TO have it thoroughly repaired. Two
months after. finding it is not exactly new
watch, he pays two dollars for further repairs.
At the end Of the year growing sick of it,
he swaps IL for an old musket. He then tries
to get rich by hunting but not finding game
very plenty, and receiving summons from
the merchant to pay for his powder and shot,
which has amounted to eight dollars, he says
to himself "I'll get rid Of the rotten musket
somehow !" so he swaps il for an old horse,
and pays FIVE dollars to boot. He hires his
horse kept at the tavern at which place he
boards; at the end Of the year his bin for
horse keeping has amounted TO forty dollars
aad his own seventy Ave. He says to him.
