GOD BLESS THE HONEST LABOHER.
BV I’BAinC WEBBER.
God bless the honest Inborn,
The hardy son of toll,
The worker in the clattering mills,
The delvcr of the soil;
The one whose brawny hands have torn
from earth her hoarded wealth,
Whose sole return for ceaseless toil
Is nature’s boon, sweet health.
Bless him who wields the ponderous sledge,
Clad in his leathern mail,
That safe as warrior’s panoply.
Guards from the sheeting hail;
That gushes from beneath each stroke,
Each mighty crushing blow,
Who seek to lighten labor’s toil.
Where ruddy fires glow.
Bless him who turns the matted sod,
Who with the early dawn
Hastens to gather nature’s store—
Haste to tho yellow
Who plants in Nature’s bosom wide
The fruitful golden grain,
And gives it to her guardian care,
The suushine and the rain.
Bless him who lays the massive keel,
Who bends the trusty sail,
That bids the ocean wanderer,
Safe battle with the gale;
Who rears the tall and slender mast
Whence floats to every breeze,
The stars and stripes of liberty,
As rainbow o’er the seas.
Bless him whose ribbed palace rests
Upon the heaving sea,
Who scorns the dangers of the flood,
The breaker guarded loo;
Who in the ocean cradle sleeps
Calmly in storm-fraught hour,
Unfearing that his bark will quail
Before tho tempest’s power.
Bless him whtf give* each beauteous thought
A resting piece, a name,
And twines its transient glories
With tho fadeless wreath of fame;
Who sends it forth on every breeze,
And bids it live to bless,
While ceoslcss clicks tho slender type,
And groans the Printing Press.
Bless ad 1 who toil. God’s blessing rest
On them with double power
Whose honest brow the sweat drops deck
•In every daylight hour.
Bless them though poor, and may they win
What wealth can never gain,
Contentment, with their lot on earth,
A balm for every pain.
Bless them, and may tho workman’s hand
That framed the giant earth,
Tb*t v hid each star in glory shine,
arQraMtafi} seas their birth,
a resting place
SMMfefralnB of light,
For.evey honest son of toil,

< . ^a. WIFE—A PARODY,
f SW clung to, him with woman’s hate,
*^MQgow«ed when’er he spoke;
Whilst o’et^iis head with crushing force,
She many a broomstick broke.
And when the world looked kind on him,
And not in rode disdain,
Sbo smoothed his hair in woman’s stylo—
A poker o’er his brain.
When care hid furrowed o’er his brow,
And clouded his young hours,
<61»e wove, amidst his crown of thorns,
A wreath of nettle flowers.
And never did that wreath decay,
Nor fade one flower—never;
For woman’s wrath aye nourished them,
That they might bloom forever.
■*Tis ever thus with woman’s hate,
Towards him she’s wedded fast;
If he’s a weak, submissive wretch,
She’ll trounce him to the last
tural interests of this country, and it is
freedom from it which enables the north
of Europe, with a worse climate, and an
indifferent system of cultivation, to un
dersell us in the markets of England.—
There, travellers tell us, fences are al
most unknown. The herds and Hocks
are under the care of herdsmen and
shepherds, and thus an untold expendi
ture is saved, besides the loss ot the land
which the fences occupy, and the accumu
lation of soil, that, with the most careful
management, is apt to be thrown up
around them by the plough.
The farmer contributes to the wealth
of a country by his perpetual toil. Eve
rything begins with hitn. Every day of
the year has its various and its continu
ous operations, all diiccted, however, to
this one point, to bring the greatest quan
tity of produce from a given number of
acres. Such is the nature ot this work,
that little can be done to expedite or short
en the process. Every' foot of every eve
ry field must be passed over by the plough.
There are no fire-horses yet invented to
do this at the rate ot twenty miles an
hour. The ploughman therefore, must
rise early and work late. His labors too
must be generally confined to the hours
when the sun is above the horizon. In
autumn and in winter these are tew. He
must work the harder during that part
of the year when the days are long.—
Every industrious farmer is continually
adding to the substantial and permanent
wealth of a nation. He is continually
adding to the productive power, which
the best species of wealth. His sav
ings, if any he makes, and he cannot
make any thing only by the most assidu
ous industry, increase the fund that is
most wanting, especially in such a coun
try as this; i. e. agricultural capital.—
The farmers of this country can do noth
ing, they say, for the want of money.—
How are they ever to get it but by the
improvement of their farms? As things
have been managed in this country hilh-
ment. They want the enterprise and ac
tivity, which is engendered merely by
bringing masses of the people to act on
each other by mutual stimulation and ex
citement. Why is the balance of trade
continually in favor of the North? Be
cause our labor is not sufficiently diver
sified, because the raw material goes
from this very city to the North to be
manufactured, and then comes back to
be worn by our citizens, while we have
among us thousands who might work it
up, but who are lying here idle, many of
them supported by public charity!
One of the postulates of national wealth
is education universally diffused. It is
this alone that can give skill to the hand,
and wisdom in the general conduct of af
fairs. Without that the strength of the
physical power of a nation is like the
sightless Cyclops, working in the dark.
'd the “ Capting.” (Now John had not
died, but had gone down to the Old Dom
inion and was buried alive with his fath
ers, and no man sought after him.) But
James the King did evil exceedingly, be
yond all that the Kings who had gone be
fore him had done. For he appointed tax
gatherers who did sorely vex and trouble
the people ; he also sought to root out the
makers ofcolton, and linen, and wqolen,
and iron goods, and grieviously harrassed
the shepherds and husbandmen. More
over, he mightily stirred up the hearts of
the people to war; and thought in his
heart to make the children of his young
est sister, whose lands were nigh unto
him, bondsmen and tax-payers.
Now it was in this wise, that the King
caused the war; his youngest sister
had a vineyard near to the river Sa
bine, fair and goodly to look upon. And
behold, when King James looked upon
the vineyard, and saw it was a place to be
desired, abounding in darkies and creoles,
and flowing with sugar and molasses,
straightway ho coveted it exceedingly
much, and seized upon it, and annexed it
to the land of Jonathan—seeking an oc
casion against his sister. But his young
er-sister suffered long, and would not
lift up her hand against Jonathan ; where
fore the King waxed wroth, and blas
phemed, and swore vehemently she should
fight.
Then he commanded Zachariah the
Captain of his host, a vailiant man, in
whom was the' spiritofwisdom, to take
three thousand chosen men^and march
into the land of his sister, (but the King
straigbtly charged him that he should de
clare to the children of his sister, that
the land was Jonathan’s, and “ I also,’
said the King, “ will swear the same tiling
to the Councellors of Jonathan, when
they meet together to talk.”) But the
King went not to the war but remained at
home eating and drinking and making
merry with his wives and concubines.—
Moreover, the King ordered Winfield,
the Chief Captain of his hosts, to repair
to his post; (now the raiment of Winfield,
was the finest sheep’s wool, and his

proportion to the intelligence by which it
is guided. Most of our readers have
heard of the Lowell Offering, a periodi
cal written exclusively by the girls who
are engaged every day in carding, spin
ning and weaving.
Mr. Dickens tells us that he carried
home to England a number of that work,
one of the most wonderful phenomena
of the Western World. I was told my
self, at that place, by one of the superin
tendents, that the principal writers in the
publication were the most profitable op
eratives in the several establishments, ob
tained the highest wages, and made the
best use of their money. So, after all
the sneers cast upon literary ladies, to
them the blue stocking is no disqualifica
tion for the most common employments of
life. So it is, all the world over. The
school-master’s wages is an investment,
which yields, in an enconomical point of
view, the highest per centum.
It is to enlightened education that we
must look for the extinction of that false
sentiment, so adverse to the true pros
perity of a nation, the degradation

A great crisis in our political and so

to feel a lively—yea, a ■painful interest in
its final result. A war, with its train of
disasters, its bloodshed, its trophies and

Physical strength is generally available £ £at was “ a. hastv plate of soup.”)-
Winfield was auvanced in
years, and had cut his eye teeth and kept
his eye cocked both ways. And he rea
soned with himself, saying, “ If I shall
obey the King, then will the enemy open
upon me in front, and the King and his
company shall assault me in the back,
and the place shall become too hot for me,
and my travelings for the land of Jona
than shall be naught.”
And behold, as he pondered on these
things, and sipped his “ hasty plate of
soup,” his spirit waxed warm within him,
and his choler rose, and he straightway
declared unto the King, he would be
hanged if he would budge an inch. Then
was the King wroth, and said unto him,
“ The Whigs do so to me, and more also,
if I don’t play the devil with thee tor
this!” Nevertheless, the word ofthe King
prevailed not against him.
But the war displeased Horace the Fou-

Eighty years ago the population of

Butin process of time, the treasury of
the King was greatly diminished ; and he

burn his cheek as he looks upon the his

Alexander of Macedonia once went to
a remote province of Africa, abounding
in gold. The inhabitants met hitn, bear
ing dishes filled with apples and fruit of
gold.
“ Do you eat such fruit among you ?”
said Alexander. “ I have not come to
see your riches, but to lea rn you r customs.”
I hey then led him to the market-place,
where the king was sitting in judgement;
A citizen then appeared before him,
and said, “ I bought of this man, O King,
a sack full of chaff, and found a large
amount of treasure in it. The chaff is
mine, but not the gold ; and this man will
not take it back again. Decide accord
ingly, O king, for it is his.”
And his opponent, also a citizen of the
place, replied: “Do you fear to keep
not your own, and I should not
fear the like? Isold you the sack, and
all that was in it; keep what’s your own.
Decide for him, O king.”
Thc j king asked tho first whether he
had a son. He answered, “Yes.” He
asked the second whether he had a daugh
ter? and received “ Yes” for an answer.
“Well,” said the king, “you are both
upright men; unite your children in mar
riage, and give them the treasure for a
marriage gift. This is my decision.” ... j*
Alexander was astonished when he
heard this judgment. ■_ 5
“Havel decided unjustly,” inquired
the king of the distant country, “thatyou
arc so astonished ?”
“By no means,” replied Alexander;
“but in my country the judgment would
havo been different.”
“ And how t” asked the African king.
“Both disputants.” said Alexander,
* would lose their heads, and the treasure
would fall to the king.”
Then the king, striking his hands to
gether, asked : “ And does the sun shine
upon you ? and does Heaven send its
rains upon you ?”
“ \ r cs,” replied Alexander.
“Then it must be,” continued the Afri
can king, “ for the sake of the innocent
beasts in your country; for, on such men
the sun should neither shine nor the bea
ns send down rain.”
Value of Married Life.—By the Regis-
ter-General’s report in England, it is as
certained that men and women, married
at-26, live together, on an average, in that
country, 27 years. The widows survive
their husbands a little more than 10 years,
and widowers live far from 9 after the
death of their wives. When the husband
is 40 and the wife 30, the mean terra of
married life is 21 yeais—the widows sur
viving 13 years after their husband’s
death, and the widowers only 5 after the
loss of their wives. Probably there is
no essential difference in the laws of life
in the United Slates and England ; but
it should be added, by way of encourage
ment, that both sexes, by being married,
have a longer lease of life than they other
wise would have. It is not necessary to
enter upon a physiological explanation,
since the tables of registration have es
tablished the fact beyond contradiction.

“ The Printing Office,” says the New

not engaged in agriculture, but employed
in something that supplies human wants.
And the nearer it is found to the farmer’s
door, the better; the less of his produc

Agriculture can flourish then, only where
there is a large’population engaged in
manufactures and commerce.
