[Nobility of Labor
No book, no romance, no poem,
no life told tale is ever complete
and round where true honest la¬
bor, as the most important factor
is ignored. Young men and
young women must be impresaid
with tho stern and w holosunn
truth that n life without labor is
a failure; always has been, al¬
ways is, and always will lie, that
labor is what giv.-s true nobility
and uplifting character to any
life that is not in some way in¬
timately connected with labor,
useful helpful labor is a disgrace-
nl lift-. It matters nor how
much of wealth ov how much of
that, that wealth brings, may
surround and fill that life, siill
that life is a blank and a disgrace
to tlie name of him who lives it.
There is neither honor, happiness,
satisfaction, or anything worthy
the name of manhood in lifo ex¬
empt from lobor. Labor is the
real elixir of life.—Coflin.
