LsUor. in itself considered, is regarded

lot Of the poor man, and to be avoided rs
such. Hence, the best days of life are
spent in active effort for overcoming such
impeachment to happiness-labOr, the

price of hoped.for good. The result is,
that the only mesus to true indepen-

can the hand escape burning when thrust

The inebriate may receive his reward
sooner than the glutton or the sluggard,
but not more surely.
As already stated, this matter specially
concerns Americans, and because manual
labor here seems to be more effectually
tabo0ed by 'the best society" than in
any other country. This is, no doubt,
largely due to the influence OF slavery
upon the people. That institution has
done more to degrade labor and laborers
among Americans than all other influ-
ences; and the result is, that the one
great condition and means to physical
and mental health and development has
come to be little better than brand OF
shame and social ostracism. Hence, we
have come to be "a nation of dyspcp-
tics"-the subjects Of natures righteous
and terrible penalties for attractions OF

the system of human bondage has passed
