The Peerage of Industry.

ENGLAND, pompous aristocralic and
proud, has her proud nobility. All over
the continent, medals and orders grace or
disgrace the button holes Of petty princes,
proud mobiles and efete arislocrats. But
here, in our own favored land prouder
peerage exists, not deducing their birth
from buried greatness, but tracing their
rise from honorable effort in the paths Of
successful industry, up to its righeous
reward. He who was born near the
tangled wildwood of some rustic scene,
may if he chooses, become a leader of
men. The path to fame and profit is
open to all, and an un'iring pursuit Of
industry, will accomplish everything
desired. If we look back upon the lives
Of the distinguished dead of our own
country, we will trace in almost every
instance their origin in obscurity. We
are all familiar with the titles Of 'the
Milboy of tho Sashcs' The Country
Schoolteachers' The Printers Lad "The
New Hampshire Lawyer" and other
subriquets by which, Henry Clay, Daniel
Webster, Ben anime Franklin, and men
of that stamp were addressed. Then we
can point to Amos and Abbott Lawrence,
George Peabody, Peter Cooper, and a
thousand others who have risen by their
own efforts from poverty TO aff]uence.-
Is not position thus attained, more
glorious, than any that rank can confer?
Is not the peerage OF industry, noblcr in
the attributes that go TO form human
greatness, superior to the peerage, that
the mere accident of birth places men
among? We hear the audible answer
from every lip!

Loafers in a Printing Office.

The composing room of a printing
Office is not the place to tell long sto-
ries or argue abstruse points in meta
physics. Read, ye loungers, and be
advised: f..
A printing office is like school; it
can have no interlopers, hangers-on, or
twaddlers, without serious inconve-
nience, to say nothing of loss of time,
which is just as good as gold to the
printer--as though it metalically glis-
tened in his hand. What would be
thought of a man who would enter a
school and twaddling first with the
teacher, and then with the scholars
interupting the discipline of one, and
the studies Of the other? And yet this
is the precise effect of the loalers with
the course of Observation-Disclosures the
great attention which is necessary to
the good printer. No gentleman will
ever enter it and presume to act loater
He will feel above it, for no real man
ever sacrifices the interests or inter.
leres with the duties of others. The
loa(er does both. Let him think, if he
ever has, that the last place he should
ever insinuate his worthless and un.
welcome presence in is the printing
office.

Every editor Of a newspaper will
appreciate the truth Of the following
passage from some of the writings Of
Capt. Maryatt:
1T is not the writing of the leading
article itself. but the obligation to
write that article every day, whether
inclined or not, in sickness or in health
in affliction, disease of mind, winter
and summer, year after year, tied
down to the task, remaining in one
spot. 1t is something like the walking
of a thousand miles in a thousand
hours. | have % felow-fceling, for |
know how a periodical will wear
down ones existence. In itself it ap-
pears nothing; the labor is not mani
fest; nor is it the labor; it is the centin-
ual attention which it requires. Your
life becomes, as it were, the publica-
ton. One weeks paper is no sooner
corrected and printed, than on comes
another. 1t is the stone of Cysiphus,
and endless repetition of toll, constant
weight upon the intellect and spirits,
demanding all the exertions of your
faculties, and at the same time that
you are compelled to do the seyerest
drudgery. To write for newspaper
is very well, but to edit ole is to con.
denim yourself to slavery"

Hes- The following bit Of advice was
handed US q few evenings since by young
lady, with the request that we publish it
fer the benefit of the "Bachelors' Club"
in Winchester:
"Be careful, young men, in the prime of your
lives,
Not to fool your existence away;
The best thing for you is to hunt you some
wives
And marry them rigl away,
A bachelors life is n horrid strife,
or earthly existence alone,
Aud when they are dead and all has been said,
There's no one to tell where they're gone"

And bid my young heart nom him turn,
When our vows are sealed abovc3
My Mother, oh my Mother dear!

Upon my heart, as on my ear,

To him alone through life I'll cling,

SINGULAR AND AWFUL FREAK OF Ma

A Negro woman belonging to Mr..
Lawrence Smith, of Petersburg, Va,
lately gave birth to child. the physi-
cal maliormations of which were of
the most horrible and extraordinary
possible character. From the waist
downward the child was like others
and symmetrically built, but above
the middle it was moulded in a fright.
full resemblance to the form of frog.
The head was flat, and the mouth
several inches wide and placed under
meath. The nose was entirely want
ing, as the eyes stood out like goggles.
No physician who saw it ever wit
messed any phenomenon to compare
with it, and it was considered by them
a perfectly unprecedented occurrence
in the annals of embryology. 1t lived
but a few hours. The ears were the
only portion of the head that did not
bear a resemblance to frog, and
these were much like those of a cat,
being salient and pointed, and adding
still more to the horrible appearance
of the anomalous creature.

THE PRESENT.

Philosophers tell us that time is an
agreeable fiction, invented solely for the
benefto watch makers. The past, say
they, has no existence now, whatever it
may have had once. The future has no
existence yet, whatever it will have, and
the present is mathematical point, "with,
out length, breadth, or lhickncss," lying
between the past and the future Even
while you say "now," it is gone. Upon
examination, we see that such is really the
fact. Time is merely the succession of
event, and we have established Gct.
titious idea Of it. The present, being the
nearest approach to toosij'ljty which
we have, is, then, the "tmc,' in which
we live, yet, strangely enough, we regard
it the least. Young people live in the Tu,
ture, old people live in the past, and mid.
dleaged people osciIIate from one to the
other, without taking cognizance Of the
only thing which is practically worthy Of
their consideration. 1t is curious to see
how many men waste their whole lives in
preparing 10 live. The ambitious clerk
says, "well, | will put up with anything

room for half a century, and neglected
every faculty which God gives to man for
his enjoyment and elevation, he has, per-
haps, a fortune Of several hundred thou.
sand dollars, and is content to retire.
But it is now too late. He is Iust as
much part OF his Office as the desk at.
which he has worked so long, and instead
Of haling with Joy his release from the
servitude of unceasing labor, he is cnu-
gee, Iistless, and lost, for want Of the old
routine. Take an ancient blind horse
which has gone round and round in mill
al its life, and when you turn it out in
pasture, to let it spend its last days in
liberty and rest, you will find it stupidity
going arounl in the same old circle
Thus it is with our model business men,
who spend all the time when they should
be living, in getting themselves ready to
live, and finally lose the power as well
the inclination. The only way to enjoy
this sublunary existence is to enjoy it
now. We do not encourage imprudence
and prodigality-(ar from it-but we do
say that the man who makes the present
slave to the future is wasting resources
