LABOR. it ever occur 10 Won, reader,
what is accomplished by labor. and what
the world would be without it. Why, man
Of idleness. labor has rocked YOU in the
cradle, and nOurished your dampened life;
without it the woven wool upon your back
would be upon the shepherds flock. For
the meanest thing that ministers to human
want, save the air OF heaven. man is IN
debted TO toll; and even the air. is Gods
wise ordination, is breathed with some de-
gree OF labor. 1t is only drones who toll
nOt-whO infest the hive OF the active like
masses of corruption. The lords o. the
earth. then. are wOrking-men who build or
cast down at their will and who can retOrt
at the sheer OF the bogus aristOcracy by
pointing to their trophies wheresOeyer art,
science, civilization and humanity are
known. Work on, man OF toll. Be true

REMARKABLE Discoveries IN SYRIA
Two distinguished scientific gentlemen,
Messrs- FarnbeOth and Pelican. have
been recently prosecuting their search after
Greek and Roman antiquities. near TripOh,
Syria. In ground which has been cultiva-
ted as q garden they came upOn a Hebrew
house, which is supposed TO date back one
or two centuries before Christ. Some of
the rooms are said TO have been in state
Ofpertect preservation. and contained arti-
cles OF furniture resembling those found in
Egypt. But the most extraordinary dis
coyery OF all are certain manuscripts.
among which are two of the books of No.
ses, Dayid's Psalms, and a collection of
poems in the Hebrew language, altogether
unknown 10 Hebrew scholars. All these
eurlOsitieS have been sent 10 the London
Asiatic Society, and are attracting great
curiosity.

Fun at Home.

Don't be afraid OF little fun al home,
good people. Don't shut up your house,
lest the sun should fade your carpets; also
your heart, lest some hearty laugh shake
down some of the musty old cObwebs there.
Ii YOU want TO ruin your sons, let them
think that all mirth and social enjoyment
must be left on the threshold without, when
they come home. When once home is re-
garded as only place to eat, drink and
sleep in, the work begins that ends in gam
bling houses and reckless dissipation.
Young people must have fun and relaxation
somewhere, and il they do not find it at their
own hearthstOnes il will he sought at other
and perhaps less profitable places. There
fore let the fire burn brightly at night, and
make the homestead delightful with all
those little arts which parents so perfectly
understand. Don't repress the b0uyant
spirits Of your children; half an hour OF
meFriment round the lamp and freight of
home, blots out the remembrance OF many
a care and annoyance during the day. The
best safeguard they can take with them
into the world, is the unseen influence OF a
bright little domestic fireside.
