lieious and social circles, community
was ever prosperous where wealth ac'
cumulates and men decay" no churcn
ever advanced in vital piety when indo'
lence prevailed among its worshlpels;
no social circle ever improved Ia morals,
intelligence or happiness when labor was
rejected as wanting IN respectability, and
no individual idler ever M de himself
useful or gaddened home with the
wealth of content. 1t often seems hard
to toll through all the changing seasons
without rest, and the lahore is many
times made h avy. hearted with the fail,
ure of his hopes; buC al the grief OF cruel
want and slavish toll in our civilization
that fills so large a page in the history OF
mankind, is more than supplemented by
the grief of those who are envied in their
supposed luxury and repose. The grief
of waste, vigor and health, of sated ap'
pc ite, is the one grief that claims all sea
sons as it's own. Even the galley'slave
enjoys the luxury of rest, and his coarse
diet is made grateful by the hunger that
labor quickens; while the banquet of
luxury pals upon the taste, and sleep
and rest fle from the miserable idler. 1t
was a king in the midst of all the plenty
of " ath and power, who cried: oh,
sleepl Oh, genCle slsep! Natures soft
music, how have l frishted thee" Our
great railway and bonaDzl kings OF to-
day would value at millions the sweet
rest enjoyed by the laborer of your noun
tains, and what would they not give for
the relish of the hod carrier at his frugal
meal? And all The rich promises of life
are to the sons and daughters of toll.
The shop and the field are the cradles Of
men, while the hot b. DIS of idleneas and
luxury give only morkeries of men and
women to dawdle through ail0less and
useless lives, and to leave behind them
more helpless children than themselves.
Turn to the men of distinction in field OF
forum, in science, literature and art, and
only the toilers of the world are there.
Fortune or family may now and then
grasp the honors which belo g to the
more deserving, but they turn 10 ashes
when thus gained, and end in humilia'
tiOn if not disgrace. Whatever be your
lot, know that it has a sunny side, unless
you are shrouded in the gloom Of idleness.
For every other cloud there is a siIv' Z
lining, and toll is the one fountain from
which wells up the countless stree ms OF
happiness.
