RISING IN THE WORJ.D

You should bear constantly in mind that
nine.tenths of us are, from the very nature
and necessity of the world, born to gain
our living by the sweat of tile brow. What
reasons have We then, to presume that our
children are not to do the same? If thew
be, as now ard then one will he, endowned
with extraordinary powers of mind, the
powers may have an opportunity of dcvel-
oping themselves; and if they never have
that opportunity, the harm is not very great
to us or to them. Nor does it hence fol-
low that the descendants Of the laborers
are ever to remain laborcrs. The path
upward is steep and long, to be surc.-
Industry, care, skill, excellence in the
present parent, lay the foundation Of a
rise, under more favorable circumstances,
tor the children. The children of these
take another rise, and by and by, the de-
scendants Of the present laborer become
men OF mark. This is the natural progress
IT Is by attempting TO reach the top Mt a
single leap that so much misery is produced
in the world; and the propensity to make
such an attempt has been cherished and
encouraged by the strange projects that we
have witnessed of late years for making
the laborers virtuous and happy by giving
them what is called m education. The ed
ucation which speak Of consists in bring.
ing children up to labor with stcadincss,
with care, and with skill; to show them
how to do as many useful things as posi-
ble; to teach them to do all in tho best
manner; to set them an example in indus
try, sobriety and ncatncss to make all these
habitua' to them, SO that they never shall
be liable to fall into the contrary; to let
them always see n good living proceeding
from labor, and thus to remove from them
the temptations to get at the goods Of Others
by violent or fraudulent means.

n Chapter on Noscs.-A little turned I'M
nose, suggests at once chilish and imper-
feet character. Little stumpy noses among
men are rare in the higher races and, when
they occur, seldom fail to indicate weakness
of mind, or imperfect moral development.
If they are short and thick, we may safely
presume strong sensual disposition. A
turnedup nose, with wide open nostriis, is
rarely discovering sign of empty, pon,pous
vanity. A large, strongy.marked nose, is
rare in the fairor sex and where found 10 a
sure sign of masculine temper, or undue de-
vclopment of the less refined sensation
Great, general leanness, the excessive use
of snuff, and the frequent touch of the fin
ger in deep meditation may reduce nose
to pitiful shadow, and give it most mar
vellous sharpness. When coupled with
pale, prim lips, such a nose is n certain
warning against the narrow mind that
dwells within, or speaks of melancholy
temper. Faces of faSfamed beauty, in art
or in life, show mostly nose approaching
the Greek ideal, which perfect as it is in
theory, still does not convey to us the feel.
ing we most prize, of highly devoted
mind and vigorous character. 1t may
please the senses but it cannot content the
heart.
