In view ofthe dignity of work, T say
that all men in this country ought to

That they should be taught to think,
that their. brain shotffd be educated is

is dignified and noble creative and ben

cation should always include in it a

The Jews have 81 pfoverb that he
who brings up his children without
trade brings them up to steal / am
half a Jew on that point. It is certain
that d boy is neglected of his parents
who does not know how to work, and
| feels above work. Whenever you see
q man whose duty it is to work, who
feels above his work, you may be sure
that man is not fit to 90 any higher,
for no man isashamed to do that which
! God puts him to do, if he be O fit in
strumcnt to do the divine work in this
world.
There is no feeling so peculiarly I'M
! American as shame Of work " q Tt is a
foreign vice tits vulgar; it has no bu-
siness here. The man who does not
know how to .woEk'iis the man who
ought to be ashamed; the man who
knows how to be proud of it.. It itno-
bic for a man to carry himself up. Any
man who inheritsiwealth is like man
who breaches his fathers sermons
Laughter and applause. If one in
herits wealth he may excuse himself
for being ashamed Of work have
noticed that men who are born veal
thy are seldom troubled with thatsham
'Fhey are usually men who have good
sense in the matter OF work, and are
quite willing themselves to toll when it

Every AmeficaIf child should know
J. how to use his hands ingeniously. No
American boy is educated, nobody de
serves the honorable appellation of
''Y ankee,o ,owho cannot use the aX; the
spade, the plow-; who cannot yoke and
unyoke oxen, harness and drive a team,
who has not sufficient knowledge of
tools to perform any common act of
necessity. . RE- A.ftz.srf
/ A true Yankee never sees anything
done that he does not steal the trade
with his eyes, and imagine how he
would do it himself at pinch and i'm
/ prove upon it. He will do anything
sew on buttons, shave sick mail, cook
a beef steak, writea sermon, listen to
, one, or any other dfudgery that socie-
/ ty may impose upon him. This fertil-
ity and facility in work tdignifies the
American, and universal thrift follows
universal industry and ingenuity.
This necessity and propriety ofwork
has peculiar relations to us in the grow
ing eXigencies of our civilization, fo1
we stand alta time when the ehOusehold
is displaced from one tendency and
state of society, and has not fairly set
tied upon another. When service was
a class necessity, then the household
was blessed in faithful servants and
! when all from the bottom to the top of
society shall be thoroughly Intelligent,
then subordination Of work will give to
us again useful and trustworthy assist
/ ants. But we are living at a period
/ when work aspires, but has not attain
ed; and the result is that in every
household complaints are uttered of the
difficulty of procuring work:
The best remedy that1 can pTopcUnd
is, to go back to the doctrine and prac-
tice of our mothers and sisters. / re
member the time when the morning
woke with the mothers yoice-the sweet
est bell that ever rarg at the stairs to
call the children up, when the table was
4 spread by her hands or her daughters
and when, sometimes the boys were put
to the same task; and all through the
morning still she toiled and sang and
conversed upon themes worthy of Wo-
manhood, Christian womanhood; an6
when the noon meal was cleared away
it's full light upon the dooryard and The
kitchen; mothers and sisters sat read
ing or sewing; and after the transient
evening meal, the lamp, sitting on tht
table, the hearthstonel glowing fif i
was winter) again she gathered around
her circle. Those were the days whe1
there was health among womans and {
virtue and Womanhood of which W.
have no occasion to be ashamed, ever
in these days, among our mothers ant
: our sisters and if there was. more worl
in the household to-day, l think ther
I would be fewer complaints against. fo-
eign servants, and fewer complaints for
