The Value Of Employment.

Since both soul and body were
made for employment, there is
nothing more conclusive to cheer
fulness, the result of their joint
health, than fit employment. A
house bereft of tenants goes 10
decay. A vehicle laid up with
out use rusts and moulderS. \
fine piece of machinery is never
so safe as when fabricated and
moving. Body and soul made for
perpetual activity, must work and
work together, in order to be IL
good condition. OF ali engines.
the human body is the most anna
zing. From the days of Socrates,
as reported by Xenophon, philes-
ophy has been studying the me-
chanics, the chemistry, the vital
forces, the adaptions, the final
causes Of this structure, so Won
derfully made. There are RIO steps
forward to new principles in phys
les, in optics, in the growth of
structures, which does not find
itself anticipated by some mar
velous realization of it's idea in
the human body. Considered as
a working engine, there is none
which works so cheaply, with so
little waste, and so long, or which
contains such provisions for its
own repair. How every survey
of the skillful mechanism shows
that it was made to move. Its
central propelling engine, never
stops, except in cases which cause
instant dread of death-Heart,
lungs and brains, play on through
all the thousand nights of sleep.
An instinct of nature prompts the
young to be in almost perpetual
motion. Absolute rest there is
none. And if, from necessity or
choice. any approach to immobil-
ity becomes the habitude of body |
as is the case in some sluggish and
morbid natures, the result is leth-
argy and endless disturbance Of
the vital functions. This frame
was made for labor.
Equally true is this of the yet
more subtle because spiritual part.
The soul is essentially active. Of
a mind that dose not think, no
man can frame a notion. The
human mind is made to be active.
Its active powers irresistibly seek
for some object on which to exert
themselves. Healthful, moderate
repose, chiefly by change of en-
ployment, is good; but entire, con-
tinual, unbroken quiescence, is
misery. Never was there a more
dire mistake than that of men who
abandon the honest and useful
business of life, under the pretext
Of rest. Unless they have singu-
lar resources, in science, literature
or philanthropy, they sink into
hebetude, weary of the everlasting
holiday, let their harts corrode
with sullen thoughts, and some
times fall a prey to evil habits or
premature dotage. Philosophy, |
no less than religion, enjoins-un-
less where invincible necessities
from infrmity or age clearly speak
another language-that we should
live working, and die in the harm.
ess. Hence the value of trade
or calling, and of working at it.

Town." were all that constituted claim to
the appellation of town, there lived here q

We shall call D. and who. by the
way. has, IN later years, achieved high
civil and military reputation-the latter not
inferior to that of the famous Greek Gener-
al Xenephon, himself. But D. at
the time We speak of. resided in Lexington,
and not at the place he now lives. which,
albeit, Is not a hundred miles from here,
and was young gentleman of sprigh.li-
ness, popular manners aud withal ramarka-
bly, fond of practical joke. And thereby,
as Shakespeare has it, hangs tale" for on
q certain occasion his fun-loving propensity
got him into scrape. The manner was in
this wise: "A certain weil-known citizen,
still living. who resided short distance
from town, was one evening here, and
D. knew he would have TO return after
night on foot through an unfrequented path.
Now it entered his head that he would play
the ghost and brighten him. So wrapping
around him a sheet, he stationed himself in
the most lonely place he could find. and
watched for his intended victim. At length
advancing footsteps were heard. and D.
stepped forth into the path. chad in the ha-
biliments OF the grave. stretched out his
arms. and stood full before him in the path.
The benighted man was almost upon this
ghostlv spectacle before he saw it; when,
however, it did break upon his vision, he
stopped short. looked attentively at the OBJ
ject, peered first on one side and then on
the other, to make the most of it, and
leaning forward and pointing to the ghost.
he suddenly-just as D-was greatly en-
joying his supposed fr,ght-exclaimed -
''Take him, Maje!' The effects was in
ssantaneous. A huge dog, which had been
following close at his heels, bounded for
ward, and the ghost took to a tree, report
says, however, not in time to save the seat
of his breaches from the fangs of the canine
savage. That was the last time D tried
to play the ghost.-Lerington Mo- Er-
pOsitor.
