LABOUR.
Man of idleness, labour rocked you in the cradle, and nourished your pampered life; without it, the woven silks and wool upon your back would, be in the fold. For the meanest thing that ministers to human want save the air of heaven, nian is indebted to toil; and even the air is breathed with labour. It is only the drones who toil not, who infest the hive of activity like masses of corruption and decay. The lords of the earth are working men, who can build up or cast down at their will, and who retort the sneer of the " soft hand" by pointing to tbe„ir trophies, wherever art, science, civilization and humanity are known, Work on, man or toil, thy loyalty is yet to be acknow-
ledged as labour rises onward to the highest iforone of power.—/ 1 . J.'Magazine,
