ha~ The Pennsylvania State Teachers As
ISOLATION, will meet at Greensburg, Westmore-
land county, on Tuesday the Tth of August
We hope that several teachers from this part
of the State will make their arrangements to
attend.
Greensburg is in pleasant section of the
State, and trip over the mountains will well
pay the expense. We have assurances that
all the Railroads, in this section of the State,
will sell tickets for half price,-that is, those
who go, are to pay for tickets when they go
and the same tickets will be good for the re-
turn. So those who wish to see that part of
the State will be enabled to go cheaper now
than at any subsequent time. There are to be
several lecturers of eminence present, among
the rest, Mr.. YEoMANs is to give his celebrat-
ed lecture on the Philosophy of Sunbeam" ;"
This has been received with more favor per-
haps than any other scientific lecture that has
ever been delivered in this country.
Will the papers in the northern and eastern
portions of the State please to give notice Of
this meeting.

HARD WoRK.--All classes Of men complain
Of 4" hard work" The carpenter thinks that
it is too bad that he is obliged to work so
hard for living, while his neighbor the ply
Scian can ride in his carriage TO attend patients
or lesurely deal out medicines in his Office.
The physician thinks it hard work to be in
readiness to obey calls ct all hours of the day
and night to travel ia cold and heat, through
mud and storms and not even be allowed one
hour in the tweltyfour which lie can positive
ly call his own. He envies his friend the car
penter, who, when the days work is done, can
return to his family and rest in peace
The blacksmith feels that hard lot in life
has fallen to him, as he strikes the anvil
through the long day, while on the opposite
side Of the street, his neighbor, the lawyer,
seems TO be called to the performance Of no
harder work than writing at his table or the
reading Of his law books. But the lawyer as
his glance falls upon the blacksmith, thinks of
the years spent in study to fit him for the pro-
fesSion, of other years Of strenuous mental ex-
er.ion and constant application to gain rep
utation, OF the still incessant toll necessary to
attain lt-of his frequent unavoidable contacts
with most hardened villains, of the reVolting
relations Of crime he is compelled to hear, of
the hundreds of suffering, innocent victims
who plead with him to Succor them from power
ful oppresSors, but whom he cannot aid With
a sigh he turns away from the whistng, sing
ing, jolly-faced and brawny-armed blacksmith,
and feels it harder TO work to hammer and
weld the iron and blow the bellows of the law
in such manner as shall always keep the fires
of his reputation burning before the world
So it is in the various branches of trade and
in all professions. Each is apt to think his
neighbor's business Light work compared to the
duties incumbent upon him to perform But
it is not 80. The merchant and the mechanic
the clergyman and the farmer, have all work
to do, either meutol or physical, of equal i'm
portance to the general body polite, and re-
quiring equal exertions This grumbng about
hard work is of no benefit to u.s. but decided
ly foolish and wicked.
We are made to work God constituted US
with bones, sinews strength and in every way,
by mental and physical endowment, adapted
us for the performance Of labor Labor is
called worship and whether in the mental or
physical sphere of action, he who labors the
most perse5eringly, the most unmurmuringly,
the most efficiently for the good ofhimsef aud
welfare of his fellow men, must he accounted
the most faithful and acceptable worshipper.
