WORK. WoRK.-I have seen and heard of
people who thought it beneath them to work
TO employ themselves industriously at some
useful labor. Beneath them to work! Why,
work is the great motto; and he who accom-
plishes the most by his industry, is the most
truly great man. Aye, and Is The most dlstin-
nuished nHln among his fellows, too. And the
man who so furgels his duty to himself, his tel-
low creatures aud his God--who so far forgets
the great blessings of life, go as 10 allow his en-
erries to staguatc in inactivity and uselessness,
had better die; for says Holy Writ, He that
will work not, neither shall he eat" An idler
is cumberer of the ground; wearlness curse
to himself, as well as those around him.
Beneath human beings to work! Why, what
but the continued industry that brings forth the
| Improvement that never allows man 10 be con-
tented with any attainment he may have made,
! of any work he may have cffected-what but
this rises man above The brute creation, and,
under Providence, surrounds him with comforts,
luxuries, rcfnements, physical, moral and intel
lectual blessings? The great orator, the
great poet, and the great scholars, are great
working men. The vocation is infinitely
more laborious than that of any handicraflism--
and the students life has more anxiety than that
ance. the attention of real industry, he can new.
er succeed. Hence, the number of mere pre-.
tenders TO scholarship, Of lhuse who have not
the strength and industry 10 be real scholars,
but stop halfway, and are mere smatters-a
shame to the profession.
Beneath human beings to work Look in
the artists studio, the poets garret, - >.e the
genius of Immortality stands ready to seal his
works with her uneitaceable signet. and then
you will only gee industry standing by her side.
Beneath human beings to work Why, had
rather i child of mine should labor regularly, at
The lowest and meanest employment, than to
waste its fine, its body, mind and soul, in folly
i,ilencss and uselessness. Better to wear ou'
in Il year than rust out in century.
Beneath human beings to work! What but
work has titled our fields, clothed our bodies
built our houses, raised our churches, printed
our books cultivated our minds and souls
Work out your own salvation" says the in
spired Apostles to the Gentlles.
Do THUS WITH YOUR GUNs.-Wash your gur
barrels in spirits of turpentine, by dipping ral
or sponge, fastened on your ramrod, into th'
LIQUID, and swabbing them out two or three
times, when they will be cleaned from all impu
rites and can be used almost instantly, as TIT
turpenline will evaporate and leave the barrel
dry even if they are a little moist, it will no
prevent their going off. After being washe
thus, there is no danger of rust, as when waite
ia used. This is the experince of nm old gunner
aud our sportsmen would do well to adopt it.
New ENGLISH MINIsTER.-It will be seen b
the European news that successor to M
Crompton has been or soon will be appointed
The gentleman named is Hon. C. P. Villier
brother of the Earl of Clarendon. He recentl
held The Office of Judge Advocate General, bu
we have not heard of his Distinguishing hmse
in diplomacy or politics to any extent Still h
NAV he quite equal to the duties Of The missio
, to to Washington, and we trust that there may !
no difficult question arising to create any troub
, with him or with the relations Of the two coul
Carolinidn.
