7'he JXability of Lab.tr.— [By the Rev. Orville (1
How many natural ties are there between even the In:.: 1
sci’tie ol‘labor, anti the noblest affections of humanitv ?
t : ii j , view, th j employment of mere muscular strength is emiob.c
Ulti t* i> a i f'iitral point in etjt ry man’s life, around which i
Ills toils and cares tevdve. It is that spot which is consec-ale
by lite names of wife, and children, ami home. A secret, an*
almost imperceptible influence from that spot, which is like n
other on ci.rtli, st; a!s into the breast of the virtuous Inbor n
man, and strengthens every weary step of his toil. Every bio,
that is stiH'. k in the woikUrrp and the field, finds an echo
that holy i ltrine ol his allectioiis. If lie who fights to pro! g
his home, rises to the point of la-’roic virtue; no Jess may 1 ■
who labors, his life long, to pro-> ide for that home. Peace
witlim those domestii walls, .mo prosperity beneath those hum-'
ble roofs! But slniuhi it evci be Giherwise, should time evt
come alien the iniadei’-. step appr -aciies to touch those sacrec
thresl.olds, I see itt the labors tl.-m re taken for them, dm
wounds will be taken for then: too; 1 see in every honest vv. :
matt around me, a li< ro.
.So material do I deem thi- point—ibe true nobility of lab-
I mean—that i would dwell upo, -i a moment longer, and j
larger view. V. by, then, in the great scale of things, is la!
ordained for us ?—Easily, had it so pleased the great Ordaim i
might it have been dispensed with. The world itself might
have been a mighty machinery for the production of all that
man wants. The motion of the globe'upou its axis, might hav.
been the power to move that world of machinery. Ten thou
sand wheels within wheels might have been at work; ten thou
sand processes, more curious and complicated than any man
can devise, might have been going forward witlioul man’s aid;
houses might have risen like an exalaiion,
’.vitll 11;.’ .- ~UI (1
Os dii'-et syiiiplio,;:- und voices sweet,
Built like a
gorgeous furniture might have been placed in thsm, and so
couches and luxurious banquets spread by bauds unseen; am.
man clothed with fabrics of nature’s weaving, richer than im
peria! purple, might have been sent to disport himself in these
Elysian palaces. “Fair scene!” 1 imagine you are saying :
“fortunate for us, had it been the scene ordained for human life!”
But where then, tell me, had been human energy, persever
ance, patience, virtue, heroism f Cut off with one blow from
the world; and mankind had sunk to a crowd, nay, far beneath a
crowd of Asiatic voluptuaries. No, it had not been fortunate.
Better that the earth be given to man as a dark mass, whereon
to labor. Betterthat rude and unsightly materials be provided
in the ore beds and forest, for him to fashion into splendor and
beauty. Better, [ say, not because of that splendor and beauty,
but because the act of creating them is better than the things
themselves; because exertion is nobler than enjoyment; be* ause
the laborer is greater and more worthy of honor than the idler!
I . ail upon those whom I address, to stand up for that nobilit
ol labor. It is heavens’ great ordinance fur human improve
ment. Let not that great ordinance be broken down. VVbat
do 1 say? It is broken down ; and it kas been broken down
for age-. Let it then be built up again ; here if any where, on
these shores of a new world, of a new civ iiiiation. But how
; 1 may be asked, is it broken down ? Do not men toil, it ma
be said ? 1 hey do indeed toil, but they too generally do it be
cause they must. Many submit to it as, in some sort, a de
grading necessity ; and they desire nothing so much on earth
as escape from it.
Tltev fulfil the great law of labor in the letter, but break it in
spirit; fulfil it with the muscle, but break it with the mind. To
some field ol labor, mental or manual, every idler should fasten
as a chosen and coveted theatre of improvement. But so is be
not impelled to do tinder the teachings of our imperfect civili
zation : On the^ontrary, he sits down, folds his hands and
i blesses liimsell in his idleness. This way of thinking is the
I heritage ol the absurd and unjust feudal system ; under which
serfs labored, and gentlemen spent tbeir lives in fighting and
leasting. It is time that this opprobiuru of toil were done away.
Ashamed to tod, art thou? Ashamed of thy digny work-shop
and dusty labor field ; ol thy hard hand, scared with service
more honorable than that of war, of thy soiled and weather
stained garments, ou which mother nature has embroidered,
amidst sun and rain, midst fire and steam, her own heraldic
honois? Ashamed of those tokens and titles, and envious of
the flaiintering robes of imbecile idleness and vanity? It is trea
son to nature; it is impiety to heaven ; it is breaking heavens’
great ordinance. Toil, I repeat it—toil, either of the brain, of
the heart, or of the hand, is the only true manhood, the only
true nobility.
Sinai.— Among all the stupendous works of nature,not a place
can be seb-cted more fitted for the exhibition of the Almight
power. 1 have stood upon the summit of the giant Etna, ami
looked over the t louds floating beneath it, upon the bold scenery
of Sicily, and the distant mountains of Calarhia ; upon the top
oi Vesuvius, and looked down upon the waves of the lava, and .
the ruined and half recovered cities al its foot; and they are
nothing compared w ith the terrific solitudes and bleak majesty
of Sinai. An observing traveller Las well called it “a perfec
tion of desolation.” Not a tree or shrub, or blade of grass, is.
to be seen upon the bare and rugged sides ofinnumerable moun
tains heaving their naked summits to the skies, while the crum
bling masses of granite all around, and the distant view of Syria
desert, w ith its boundless wajte of land, form the wildest and
most dreary, the most terrific and desolate .'picture that imag
ination can conceive. The level surface of the very top, or
pinnacle, is about sixty feet square. At one end is a single rock
about twenty feet high, on which, said the monk, the Spirit of
Cod descended, while in the crevice begeatb his favored servant
received the tables of the law. The uins of the church and
convent are still to be seen upon the mountain, lo which, be-
I fore the convent below was built, monks and hermits used to
