BRECHER ON LABOUR.

TjHE Rev. Henry Ward Bsscher" delivefei] an address at the E<iir of the Grafton county, Newhaven, A»ricult"iral Sojiety on September which he' ■ I closed as follows : —" He who seeks tb^et a livelihood- without rendering an- eqnivalent r fbr it, is a thief. He is trying to <jheat nis wny through life^ by seikin^ tjie shwt cuts, by luok,.by »j)eouUi.tion, and by tm t ten thotisind other-miserable shifts of this k: jftp, They seek to sponge a living from a or- an aunt's penury ; c»' peradven[ture they ha\e k' fither and mother who yet have upon< f which they can f?»ll back. If [Hhere^ere norther reason for blessing' New E lg- ! IanJJ,;I thiuk this continent would have reason to- ; d!^s her fjr tlie mmly spirit of work developed. * iif a ner f 1-out time immemorial. Whenever she ceases to know hoar to woi^k the righfe hand will .wither, b«r:^n wili 6»-ifeiVanct be in vvbScii she miy bs sai^to^eflf^wl'head of ' tliis grpa^ n^'tmn. If, then,? J&^-ere- asspld whut is the tnusl alaruiing*iiy«nptom^OTt the* time, I should. not say drunkenness* bad. ; I should not siy the disposition, to w^,r- —-E'think there is no g^uer.vl disp3dtionof that kiud; I should.not point out the danger of one portion..of-our country colliding with another, for our interests are reciprocal, and will be s°en to^g sj before loni**; 1 bufc I.should regard the disjjoswion. to took upoii honest labour, betwaeu man and man*, the failure of pride and personal iivhp? 1 hicj. M/ h'Jtrb with th^ 'working man ; I want his e-Jbc.t^idn) butt^ should 1 like to know v^heiM moiuj intelligence has eter been than in old Now England, where men have worked twelve or fifteen ( bours a day. What have tha great majority of men goi W their capital exsept their handt* and their heads? A man who begin* with nothing dut hands and bead must work more tbfvn- eight hours a day if he is to accumulate. These are- not 1101064)1*6(1 ideas.; they are foreign and'imported, .an^noßß the better for coming s<i far. Our motto should be' to work while the sun works, and earlier and later if n-eds be. Ido not say that a workman is bound to work for others more than eight hours a day, but I do say that any man who has a family to support and a ivance must work more than- eight hours a day. lii looking over the* events that have-happened to our. country in._tW last fiffesn years there is much on the dark si le to bewail. Mjch bfooi has bp.eiv shed, and rhers-of team have flowed, and the tears shed in silence, and tnp angaish. wiiliscjosed except to GjJ h.)s been immeasurable. Wjjk ploughs, and industry aftei wards begins to sov"^J the furrows,, but it take.? time to dev.elor>^' 'f-'lbink: that in all thp States desolated," tyffl&Jjjs pr'osbeVlty, will be such in two or thrae g^'ier^i^^^oi'mork/than compensate?for the past. <•> 1 .■;;,-,{'[• *"" •
