Written for “A Friend of the Family.’*
LABOR.
The curse “in the swent of thy face shalt thou eat bread’*
n<l pronounced upon Adam for his disobedience, though en
tailed upon his rnce .ns a mark of tlwr Almighty’s displeasure,
comes to us nevertheless pregnant with very rich blessings,
and if rightly regarded, is a striking evidence of the paternal
care and beneficence which Infinite love and wisdom continu
nlly exercises towards us. Labor though pronounced on man
n? a curse, in form, has no evils to compare with the miseries
es idleness. A single minute s reflexion will convince any
one of this,’ and perhaps render him less discontented with the
laborer's lot. But there are those who will read this to whom
even thought is a task too laborious,and who would prefer some
other higher authority than our own, if so, we now refer them
to the most admired work written on Political Economy the
Wealth of Nations, by Dr. A. Smith, in which they will find
the following language:
“ Labour iathe source of all human enjoyment. * *
All wealth, all objeats ot necessary use, of convenience, of
enjoyment, are either created or fashioned, or in some way
obtained, by human labor.”
And again, shall any now prefer a popular authority, we
cite them the following from the last novel of Bulwer’s :
• I hold that the greatest friend to man is labor; that knowl
edge without toil if possible were worthless; that toil in pur
suit ol knowledge we can attain; that the continuous effort
for faino is nobler than fame itself; that it is not wealth sud
denly acquired which is deserving of homage, but the virtues
which a man exercises in the slow pursuit of wealth—the
abilities so called forth, the self denials so imposed ; in a
word, that labor and patience are the only true schoolmas
ters ; and both of them are very much abroad in the presence
of the fashionable schoolmaster we have installed at home.
GUN SHOT.
RECEPTION OF FATHER MATHEW.
Correspondence of (he N. Y. Express.
Boston, July 24.
The distinguished Irish stranger has been honored with a
noble reception by the Bostonians, who are ever distinguished
for their attentions. Excepting the immense numbers which
greeted Father Matliew in New \ ork, the welcome here lias
been every way as enthusiastic and hearty. The day, indeed,
has been almost a holiday among the working classes, and en
tirely so among the Irish people who seem to manifest an un
fhiggiag devotion to their Temperance Hero. It is a noble
cause, a/td in all respects worthy of their joyous demonstra
tions.
The procession was not so long as many formed here on for
mer occasions, but in all respects it lias been respectable for
nulnbers, good order, and fine appearance. There were sev
en or eight bands of music, and a thousand flags, and regalia
bulges and banners without stint. The Irish showed a good
spirit throughout, and the country could hardly pick out a
m ire orderly or respectable portion of Irish people than were
in the line of tho procession and on Boston common to-day.
S rniP of the oldest and best citizens, official and unofficial,
participated in the welcome, nnd were among the Committee
of Arrangements. Father Mathew was greeted with repeat
ed loud cheers, and acknowledged his honors with becom
ing grace, nnd a high sense of the favors received. There
w;is speaking on Boston Common, which I did not hear, and a
welcome less private, but not less formal, in which I did not
participate.
To-morrow the services are announced in respect to the
memory of the late President Polk. Another and a different
class of people will appear in the procession, and thus exhibit
the Bostonians in anew phase to the stranger. Judge Wood-
Imry is the orator and has laid himself out for a great address
in honor of the Chief Magistrate, whose confidence he large
ly shared, and from whom he received his high office.

FROM FLORIDA.
Reports of Further Depredations. —From passengers by the
Vlorula boat, we learn that another express arrived at Palatka,
him ns the boat was leaving, giving information of the murder,
U the Indians, of six or seven negroes, the property of some
° die so tilers on the Manatee, between Tampa Bay and Char
l,lft s Harbor. It is stated that the Indians first attempted to
wry oft the negroes, but they resisting, were killed upon the
spot.
h is further reported that the company of troops from
ampa, with a few volunteers, came upon the trail of the In
dians and pursued it to the banks of a stream, (filename
0 “h' c h we did not learn,) where the bridge used for cross
ing had been destroyed, and the Indians, to the amount of one
un ued, appeared on the opposite side, armed and painted,
going the war whoop, and daring the troops to cross. Being
small a number in comparison to the Indians, the troops felt
b,ed to decline the invitation, and returned to Tampa.

hundred men will be mustered into servide at Jacksonville*,
by Col Pons to-morrow, and double that number we learn are
in readiness. Requisitions have likewise been made on the
other counties in East Florida.
