sci, in contradiction of their frequent assertions
that public sympathy and opinion was in his

lon ''the army and navy could not carry him alive
from the court house" still think 50, and most
sincerely hope such trial OF the fOrbearance OF

The SHIFTLESS HUSBAND.

The world knows of very many
such and by the world. which
worslsips success and honors the
thrift that leads to it, the idle and
siiiitless head of a family is treated
with universal and merited cen
tempt.
That in European lands, where
some ncn a;e born to wealth and
high rank, there should be found
many who, Ill anticipation of their
inherited honors and riches. in
aulge IN a life Of ease, and never
learn the value OF work done for it's
own sake, or the hlissful reward
which attends application to healt
ful study and to self improvement
as well as the self approbatien Of a
conscious devotion to the welfare
Of othels.-is a matter of course.
In England, with its hereditary
nobility, its landed gentry. and it's
ental'ed estates, if there be found
among the privileged classes one
man who spends his youth in utter
idleness and ignorance of all emo
bling pursuits, there are at least
ten who devote their whole time to
labor for the good Of others much
more than for the cultivation of
their intellectual powers or the de
velopment of their material resour
ces. The heirs to a great title or
to splendid ancestral wealth, are
tor the most part to he seen among
the most laborious of the public ser
wants, Or the most Industrious pro
motors of local enterprise and indus
try. 1t is the strength of England
that her aristocracy, whether of
rank or of wealth, thoroughly uu
derstand the meaning of Noblessc
obNge, and will not allow them
selves or their sons to lose the lea
dership OF the country by l~istlesS
ness, Incidence, or incapacity to
manage their owl estates and the
interests Of t!.eir country, as we'll
as the affairs .. tie nation.
The young man who aaWdies ard
who dreams till u coronct drops Oh
his empty head, or unlimited
wealth relieves him OF debt and per
mits him to indulge his sioih or his
sensuality, is the exception among
his peers, as he is their scorn.
But that in country like Ameri
Ca, where every o of the soil is
free to be the architect of his own
fortune and fame, and thu creator
OF his own greatness ,-there should
be found men to say to themselves
and others, that a gentleman is not
born to work,-sounds like a practi
Cal absurd!ty. Yet have we seen
such un-American Americans, and
heard them proclaim this new code
of gentility to their own children as
well as others.
