GO TO WORK.

Below se reproduce Nh article that ap-
peared IN the Chronicle. Il is applicable
to the drones Of to-day, and We trust that
our readers will give il careful perusal
These few short words may sound to inai
by ears very emphatic and to many other
ears very impoito; but. rightly understood
and properly applied. their meaning il very
good indeed.
Honest work is the great law Of the uni
verse. II i 4 righteous Law, too, aud one
that cailnut Le ssaded With IMMUNITY The
Almighty is the greatest worker in all ere
alton LII is always ut work always was.
aud always will be, 10 the end Of tiine, and
thro' eternity. The sun is i 90. worker
with the earth. and the sky aud the sea are
forever working together.
The people who expect to be happy with.
out the right kind Of work, will iud them
selves woiully disappointed. Il impossi-
ble to live well without working we'll. The
sooner this grand fundamental truth Of
rightly organized society. is universally ad.
mitted aud uniformly carried into practice,
the better will ii be for all mankind.
You may tell Us this is commonplace
fact that nobody disputes il. Some sharp
reader may curtly enquire. Why don't
you tell US something hew !-somethin we
have never heard before? We reply, il
was long ago established that there is moth
lug new under the sun. The Oldest truths
are always the best. because they have been
the longest put 10 the test. No man. hav-
ing tasted the old wine. straightway desi-
reth the new, because he saith the old is
better.
Now We arc for applying the good old
truth, tasted ty many thousand years Of
experience. to the present day and the inn
mediate exigeuces Of our country. The
trouble with Auerica at this moment is,
that too many persons, IL al classes Of our
society, are trying to liye7uithout work.
They can't do il, and live as they ought 10.
aud there's no use for them to try il on.
One of our ablest contemporaries. o-wit.
the Richmond Whig. good naturedly says: !:
To The. hundreds Of thousands Of descen-
dauts Of high. but broken down families,
that are now beSailing their hard lot, We
sny go to work To recruit aud restore
your fortunes aud your rank and prestige,
do what your ancestors did to establish
them-go to work. In these days all ho-
nest work is respectable.
Would TO heaven that this sound coun-
sci, coming from so conservative source,
was everywhere followed

tor. Aud it's rs applicable to the North
as to the South-to the East as well Us to
the West. Pass it around, gentlemen Of
the Press Goto work--go to work; Why
stund ye here all the day idlet'
Il is these lazy speuuiutors, these moral
frauds and ;bummers, these schemers aud
plotters. who are living By their wits on the
muuey earued BY hard. working people. who
are the pests and vermin Of our times.
Daniel UConnell once said, 10 his dry.
quaiut way, that he had heard great deal
about big bugs. .Whyr exclaimed the
brave old agitator, we've got plenty Of
such bugs in my country. An shall tell
ye what we call 'em Hum bugs
That's 4. A Daniel come to Judgment
Those drones Of American society, these
blooded bed. bugs who come to our pillows
to suck away our substance, ought to be
killed Of as fast as possible, that their pla.
ces may be filed by honest workers, who
will add to the producing force Of lhe cOun.
