The Necessity OF Labor.

The notion is false that GENTS can
sustain its aims without labor. All the
great minds who have left their marks
upon the history of the worlds progress
have paid for their success and notoriety
by the price of unremitting toll and la
Dor. Napoleon Bonaparte worked hard
and necessarily, and has been known to
exhaust the energies of several secreta-
ries at one time. Charles XII. Of Swe-
den frequently tired out all his officers
The Duke of Wellington was tho hardest
working man in the Peninsula; his ener-
gies never tagged. Milton, from bis
youth, applied himself with such inde-
fatigable application to the study Of Lett
tiers that it occasioncd weakness Of sight
and ultimate blindness. The labor Of
Sir Walter Scott is evident in the NUNS
Der of his literary productions, and il ID
apparent to every reader that the i'm
mense masses of general information
which abound throughout his multitude
nous works can only have been acquired
by dint of many years bard study. By
ron was in the habit Of reading even at
his meals. Luther made it rule to
translate verse Of the Bible every day.
This soon brought him to the completion
of his labors, and it was matter Of as
constituent to Europe that, in the multi
plicity of bis other labors, besides traA
yelling, he could find the timc to prepare
such a surprising work. Newton aud
Locke pursued their studies with tireless
efforts, and Pope sought retirement so
that he might pursue his literary opera
tons without interruption and distrac-
ton. Industry is essential to all. BY
forming the habit of doing something
useful every day man increases his own
/ amount of happiness, and enlarges that
of others about him. Many one, by u
t judicious use Of the odd moments, those
t little vacancies in everyday life which
occur to all, have rendered themselves
famous among their fellows Nature is
/ preserved in its proper working condition
by constant exertion and man, TO keep
in healthful condition of mind and
body, must exert his mental and physical
faculties; the constant employment Of
the first will give the strength of charac-
ter, so that it is capable Of thinking on
any subject at any time, and by active
bodily excrtion he preserves his health,
fortune, and worldly position. The Mar
quis of Sp;nola once asked Sir Horace
We're f" of what his brother died 2" Gle

ing nothing to DO" Alas SIR" said
Spinola. :" that is enough to kill any &C.

Where shall we be when our name
have been forgotten and passed into OBJ
livion, our bodies moulded into earth
and moss and ivy growing upon oul
tomb stones?
Where shall we be when the Empires
Kingdoms and States that are now reared
like proud fabrics over tho earth have
passed away-thcir emperors, kings,
princes and statesmen laid low in the
dust-their thrones subyertcd, and their
scepters broken?
Where shall we be when the little
birds, which sung so swoetly, have
hushed their merry songs forever, the
brooks forget their complaining, and re-
phyrs their whispers?
Where shall we be when the fountains
Of oceans, lakes and rivers will be dried
up? When Lightning will no longer fash
athwart the heavens, or play among the
clouds, and the thunders cease TO roll in
the Wanted depths of air? When hills
and mountains, dales and valleys, trees
and flowers have passed awsy7
When pail, black as she clouds that
hover DER Stygian lake, shall vail the
sun, obscure the moon, and wrap the
world in Tartarian gloom? When the
great arcb-angeI, with trumpet and So
norous voice shall summon from their co.
raj beds, beneath the slumbcring waves
Of the mighty main, The marble sepulcbcr
and the messy tomb, the dead, both small
and great. When the white cloud, the
angels, and the glory Of His Father shall
descend, the throne be set, the Judge be
seated, the books opened, and the my
riads that have lived on earth since the
beginning, all called to judgment? And
when The scythe and glass Of limo will
be laid by, the just taken home to God,
natnre's grand laws destroyed, and amid
confusion and CONSERVATION Of element,
the wicked driven to drcary domain Of
eternal night--reader, whore then, shall

ALL YE LOVERS OF GOOD COFFEE!
Save your Money, and always have
Good Coffee!
This can be done by using one Of HEERMAN'S
Celebrated Coffee ROasters

TNIllS is little invention that every woman
Il requires, an article of economy and
con venience. The coffee roasted in this ma
chine is not only better and far healthier, but
much stronger, as the aroma is retained and
not destroyed in the roasting. 1t therefore re-
qures less coffee.
One pound Of coffee can be roasted in from
ten TO twelve minutes, and two pounds in
twenty minutes. Ii is so constructed, that the
coffee is kept constantly in motion, and expos
ed to the same degree Of heat; consequently,
all the grains are roasted alike, and have eX-
actly the same favor-no foreign flavor being
acquired from over-roasting, or not roasting
enough. A glass window is prepared at the
end Of the cylinder, so that the coffee may be
inspected just as much as if it was in an open
vessel, obviating the danger Of roasting too
much, and the aroma passing of, which would
necessarily occur did the machine have to be
opened whenever you wished TO inspect the
coffee. 1t will, beyond all doubt, make bet
ter coffee and more Of it.

Mans Duty to Woman

Let him learn to be grateful to woman
for this undoubted achievement of her
sex, that it is she-she far more than he,
and she, too, often in spite of him-who
has kept Christendom from lapsng back
into barbarism-kept Mercy and Truth
from being utterly overborne by these
two greedy monsters--money and war.
Let him be grateful for this. that almost
every great soul that has led forward or
lifted up the race has been furnished for
each noble deed, and inspired with each
patriotic and holy aspiration, by the re-
firing forttude of some Spartan-or more
than Spartan CHRISTIAN MOTHER.
Moses, the deliverer of his people, drawn
out of the Nile by the Kings daughter
some one has limited. is only symbol Of
the way that woman's better instincts al
ways outwit the tyrannical diplomacy of
man. Let him cheerfully remember that
though the sinewy sex achieve enter
prises on the boards of public theatres, it
is the nerve and sensibility of the other
that arm the mind and inhame the soul
in secret. A man discovered Ameri-
ca, but woman equipped the voyage"
So everywhere man executes the work
but woman trains the man. Every eff
fectual person, leaving his mark in the
world, is bat another Columbus, for
whose furnishing some Isabella, in the
form of his mother, lays down her jewel

Above all, let no man practice on wo
man the perpetual and shameless false
hood of pretending admiration and acting
contempt. Let them not exhaust thci
kindness in adorning her person, and asl
in return the humiliation of her soul. =
Let them not assent to her every h:gl
opinion, as if she were not strong cnougl
to maintain it against opposition nor ye
manufacture opinion for her, and force
on her lips by dictation. Let them no
cruelty her emotions, nor ridicule he
frailty, nor crush her individuality, no
insult her dependence, nor play meal

MIDNIGHT.
BY MARIA E. BIsBEE.

'Tis midnight and dense shadows throne
around;
The stars asleep within their sable tents,
No longer gem earth diadem, but cast
A solemn silence o. er the depth profound.
The mighty wind down deep in oceans cave
Enchained, can only chant an answering lay
To the low murmur from the pale sea-shell,
Till gladd ming sunbeams from the fount o.
light
Recall the prisoner from his misty couch
To whirl in sportive glee Oh dancing waves.
Thus the pure soul from earthly scenes with
drawn,
Falls back upon itself; and deeper thoughts
Throng the immensely. Eternity,
Revolving in a circle through the brain,
Throws pictured shadows of the scenes OF life
Upon the mental view, till the tried soul
Scars onward to higher walk with God
And, as the roseate tint of dawn awakes
With shining beam, the placid waters crest
So does the halo from the throne of heaven
Descend, and, resting on the weary soul,
Lights apure touch withinthe prisoner hear
To guide it to its home, eternal rest.

OVER DRESSING. The over-dressing
Of American ladies in the streets, at ho-
tells, and in the churches, is a subject of
general remark among travellers from
abroad, az well as sensible people at
home though to little purpose, it would
seem, as at no period has the love Of dis
play been more conspicuous in our conn
try. American women are slaves to dress;
it is the bane of their life; aye, and of the
male victims, too, whose lives are con-
nected with theirs. Travelling trunks
almost as large as small house, must be
carried about, filed with all sorts of fine
ny, for summer jaunt to watering
places, and for winter visit to city.
The father or husband vainly rcmon-
strates; aounced dresses aud crinoline
must have ample space, and there must
be variety, too, in the costumes.
Heaven save the ladies', how they
dress" may we well exclaim. Why
will they rot become more practical 7

beauty admire young lady in full toilette
