IVIISCELLANY.

THE DISCHARGE!) VVORICIVIAN.
F mm the F rcnc/L.

‘James,’ said his employer ; ‘James, you
are an excellent workman ; I am quite sat-
isfied with your condtict; during the ten
years you have been employed in my facto-
ry, you have gained the esteem and friend-
ship of every one; but you see how it is, we
havc nothing more to do ; business is at an
end. But you iriust keep up courage: as
soon as any tliing ofl"ei's, I iiill let you know;
at the present, I have no occasion for your
services.’

The workman heard these words, which
although uttered in a tone of feeliiigiiess and
pilty, sounded in his cars like a sentence of
want and misery pronotinced upon his wife
and children. His eyes were mournfully
fixed on the ground as be stretched fourtli
his hand to rcceivetlie amount of his last
\veok’s wages and a certificate of character.

Unable to answer a single word, be slow-
ly took the road lioineward. Big tears drop-
ped from his eyes, and sobbing, be exclaim-
ed ‘My wife, my poor children !’—for be was
the father of a family—a son six years old,
a daugliterjust learning to walk,aud a nurse-
ling in the helplessness of extreme infancy.

James entered his dwelling; the place,
his approach to which had ever been the
signal of joy to its poor but happy inmates,
whose little wants he had always supplied
with the two-ft-ld delight ofa liappiness both
imported and t'cceived ; he entered, and his
wife and children ran to embrace him.—
James clasped them in his arms, bttt his sor-
rowful and despoiidiiiglooks evinced, to the
quick discernment of his wife, that some se-
cret uneasiness was preying on his mind.

‘Dear liusbarid, what is the matter? has
ttiiy misfortune happened to yoti I’

No more work, replied James, as he sunk
upon his chair.

‘No more work .7’ repeated the poor moth-
er, in a voice of agony. ‘No more work !’
echoed little Francis: and the three looked
at each other with an air of stupefnction.

James wept no longer; it was his duty to
give them an example of resigntttion; but
the burning tears of the the anxious mother
fell on the little hands of the infant she held
in her arms, and the innocent smile of the
babc 1'0-lllVig()I'«'tl2(3(.l the motlicr and the wife.

‘I)on’t despair, James ; to—morrow you
may, pcrcliance, find something to do.-
God is otir Father, and while He is rich in
love, we shall not want.’

‘Oh yes wife, I will look for work : here
are my eighteen francs, for the week’s work,
make tlierii last as long as possible.’

Francis was soon dispatched with ten
fraiics to pay the baker: it was the amount
of a whole week’s consumption, and the
credit of the poor is limited.

Next day James left. home very early, to
look for work btit all his efforts were inef-
fectual. In vain be depicted the distress of
his family, in vain be exhibited the certifi-
cate of his good cliaracter; most of the fac-
torics were idle. I'Ie returnccl, and lus wife
asked him no questions: the dejection of
his countenance suflicicntly attested his
want of success.

A week passed in the same manner,
and every evening James came borne more
wretched than the preceeding, while the iii-
teiise coldness of the winter still increased
the siifl'eriiigs_ ofhis family. The children
were kept in bed, for James had no supper
-—it was Saturday night, and the baker had
refused any more credit. Alreacly the inn-
tber, deprived as she ‘as offood, could af-
ford her babe litit little nourishment, and the
restlessness of the poor innocent lit-truyed
its hunger.

Meantime the two other children awoke,
and’, crying, asked for bread. On hearing
this James became desperate. Smiting his
forehead with his clenched band, he litirried
to and fro across his chamber, exclaiming
‘There is wealth enough around us—super-
fluous wealth: the unfeeling rich revel in
abundance, and prodigally waste more than
would sufiice to keep these poor babes from
starving. \Vhy do they .not search out the
dwellings of the needy, and prevent crime
by relieving those small but urgent wants
which too often prompt its perpetration '2’

There was reason in this rnzidness; but
James permitted it to carry him too far, and
be brooded over it tintil his disordered mind
settled in a desperate and ruinous determin-
ation. He sat down looking towards his
wife with a vacant stare. ,

‘You look at me,’ said she ‘yet you ap-
pear not to see me, ! James, my dear, tell me
what ails you.’

‘Nothing! Nothing! wife, they wet-.p—
they are famislied-they shall have broad.’

So saying be rushed out of the room, and
disappeared. His wife uttered it piercing
scream ;——James! James! where are you
going '2’ But James did not hear her ; the
slamming ofthe alley doorannounced to her,
that her husband was already in the street.-
Poor wife, unhappy mother! your presenti-
ment is jtist: the thought of crime bad eti-
tered his paternal heart !

It was eleven : from the severity of the
weather, the obscure street in which be liv-
ed was almost deserted. The first person
James met was a workman, returning from
his day’s labor, singing merrily. ‘Ah !’ said
he to himself, he is happy, he has work, or
at least be has no children starving with liuii-
gcr; pass oncomrade, yoti have tibtliing to
fear from me.’

IIe again heard the busty footsteps of
some one approaching; it was a young man
wrapped up in it large cloak, the scarlet lin-
ing of which was conspicuous at a distance.
James rushed upon him, and seizing him by
the arm ; ‘Your purse !’ cried he with a ter-
riblc voice, ‘your purse !’

‘My friend,’ said the young man, startled
at his sudden appearance, ‘You are follow-
ing but a wretched business, but I will sat-
isfy you : here’s my purse.’

‘How mticli is there in it?’

1

‘Three louis I believe, and two five franc‘

pieces.’

James took out of the purse the two five
franc pieces only, and gave the rest back to
its owner. ‘Sir,’ said he in a milder tone,
‘I only Want ten francs ;’ and left him.

The astonished young man followed the
robber with his eye, and saw him hurrv into
a neigliboring bakery; he soon came out
with a loaf under his arm, and disappeared
in the darkness. He really conjectured that
necessity alone had driven this iriaii to the
commission ofcrimc, and he himself criter-
ed the shop. ‘\Vbo is the person that just
bought a loaf here ?’ enquired be.

‘Ab ! sir,’ answered the b.'iker’s wife, ‘he
is a poor mechanic, burdened with a family;
he lives in yonder house, in the fifth stor_v,
where you see the light in the window. Iie
owed me ten francs, which be has just paid
me ; they are very honest folks, but we can’t
afiford long credit to the poor.’

‘Right ! madam,’ answered the strarigci';
‘here are ten francs more; furnish them with
bread till that sum is exhausted; I will see
you again.’

James went linme; be dashed the bread
on the table. ‘There, wife ! let the child-
ren eat, and eat yourself; as for me I have
no appetite; they will not want for bread
this week ; I have made arrangeinent with
the bakcr’—-and he went to lied. Ilis slum-
bers were broken and uneasy, and his wife
heard him mutter the words, ‘Robber, high
way robber !’

Daylight appeared ; James did not go
out; be seated himself in the window to
breathe freely. It was already ten ; but his
wife had not dared to say a word to him, so
gloomy and dejected did he appear. From
the window where he sat motionless, be per-
ceived [W0-1l]Cll--0116 of them wore a cloak
with it scarlet lining!’ Ile mechanically
drew back into the room and ran towards
the stair case. The two straiigers were al-
ready coming up—liis self ptissession left
him, despair was imprinted on his features,
ltis complexion assumed the lividness of
death ; be folded his wife and cliildreu in his
wild embrace, and passirig into it closet ad-
joining the room, he closed the door after
liitn.

Mean time some one knocked,and Jame’s
wife saw two straiigcrs enter. ‘Madzmi,’
said one oftbem, ‘you are poor, I have bro’t
you some as.-istaiicc.’ ‘Ah! sir, lieavcn has
sent you! Oh ! yes, yes, we are indeed poor!
—Jaines ! come here ; I told you so ; I
said we slioultl not want. But Jaines an-
swered iiot. His wife rushed itito the closet
—nnhody was there!

At the same instant fi°iglitfttl cries resoun-
ded in the. street; a large crowd assembled
round the door-—the_v raised a man who had
just tlirown liiinself from the fifth story——it

IIESULTS OF EIACHINEIRSI.
Some of the great monuments of antiqui-
ty, such as the pyramids of Egypt, are
coiistructed of enormous blocks of stone
brought from distant quarries. \Ve have no
means of estimating, with any accuracy, the
inecbanical knowledge possessed by the
pcoplc engaged in these works—It was
probably very small, and consequently, the
human labor employed in such edifices was
not only enormous in quantity, but excee-
dingly painful to the workmen. The Egyp-
tians, according to I‘Ierodot:.is, a Greek wri-
ter who lived two thousand five hundred
years ago, hated the n'iei'nory of the kings
who built the pyramids. He tells us that
the great pyramid occupied a hundt'c(_l tliou-
sand men for twenty years in its erection,
without counting the workmen who were
employed in liewiiig the stones, and in criti-
veying them to the spot where the pyramid
was built. I-Ierodotus speaks of this trorlt
as a torment to the people; and doubt-
less, the labor engaged in raising huge
masses ofstone, that was extensive enough
to employ it litindred thousand tnen for 520
years, which is equal to two million of men
forone year, must have been fearfully tor-
inenting without machinery, or with very
imperfect machinery. It has been calcu-
lated that the steam engines of England,
worked by thirty-six thousand men, would
raise the same quantity of stones from the
quarry, and elevate tlierii to the sameheigbt
as the great pyramid, in the short time of
eighteen hntirs. The people of Egypt
groaned for twenty years under this enor-
mous work. The laborers groaned because
they were sorely tasked ; and the rest of the
people groancd because they had to pay the
laborers. The laborers lived it is true, tip-
on the wages oftheir labor, that is, they
were paid in foctl—kept. like horses—as the
reward of ther work. Herodotus says, that
it was recorded on_ the pyrainid,‘.liat the on-
ions, radishes, and garlic, which the labor-
ers consumed, cost sixteen hundred talents
of silver; an immense sum, equivalent to
sevieral million pounds. But the onions,
radislies, and garlic, the bread, and clothes
ofthe laborer, were wrung out ofthe profit-
able labor ofthe rest of the people. The
buildingoftlie pyramid was an unprofitable
labor——Tltere was no immediate or future
source of produce in the pyran.id ; it produ-
ced neither food, nor fuel, nor clothes, nor
any other necessary. The labor of it luiii-
dred tliousand men for twenty years, stit-
pidly employed upon this moniiiiieirt, with-
out an object beyond that of gratifying the
pride of the tyrant who raised it, was a di-
rect tax upon the profitable labor of the rest
ofthe people.
“ Instead ofusful works, like nature greflly
Enormous cruel wonders crushe’d the land.”
But admittiiigtliat it is sometimes desira-

ble for nations and governments to erect
monuments which are not of direct utility,
—which may have an indirect utility in re-
cording the memory of great exploits, or in
producing feelings of reverence or devotion,
-—it is clearly an advantage that these works

as well" as all other works should_ be per-

fortned in the cheapest manner; that is,
that human labor should derive every pos-
sible assistance from UICCIIFIIIICFII aid. “Q
will giveyou an illustration ofthe difl'erences
of the application of mecliuiiical aid in one
of the firstoperationsofbuilding, the moving
a block of stone. The following statemetft
are the result of actt.ial experiment upon a,
stone ‘wt-igliing ten luiiidred and eighty
pounds. I

To drag this stone along the sniootbed
floor of the quarry required a force equal to
seven liuudred and fifty-eiglit pounds. The
same stone dragged over a floor of planks
required six hundred and fifty-two pounds.
The same stone placed on a platform of
wood, and dragged over the same floor of.
planks required six hundred and six pounds.
When the two surfaccsof wood were souped
as they slide over eacli other, the force re-
quired to drag the stone was reduced to one
liundi'cd and eiglity-two pounds. VVhen
the satne stone was placed upon rollers three
inches in diameter, it rcqiiired, to put it in
motion along the floor ofthe qu:ii'ry, a force
only of thirty four pourids; and by the same’
rollers upon the wooden Ifloor, a force only
of twenty-eight pounds. You will see,
therefore, that without mechanical aid, it
n oiild require the force offour or five men
to set that stone iti motion. ’Witb the me-
chanical aid oftwo surfaces ofwood soaped,
the same weiglit niiglit be moved by one
man —-Wiitli the more perfect mecliaiiical
aid ofrollers, the same, weiglit might be ino-
ved by a very little child.

From these statt.-merits it must be evident
that the cost of it block of stone very much
depends upon the quantity oflabor necessa-
ry to more it from the quarry to the place
where it was wanted to be used. ‘No have
seen that, with the simplest mechanical aid,
labor may be reducecl sixty fold. ‘With
more perfect inechnnical aid, such as that
of water carriage, the labor may be reduced
iiifiuitely lower.

I'IL'.\lAN RES1’0NSIBILI'IY.—All men, under
all the possible varieties of illumination,
may nevertlieless be the fit subjects for it ju-
dicial cognisance. Their theology, seen
tlii'otig'li the hazy mediuni of a dull and ini-
pcrfcct evidence, may liave arisen no high-
er than to the passing suggestion of a God
——t1mci'c surmise or rumination about an
unseen spirit, wbo,tending all their footsteps,
was their gl.l21l'('lIttll and their guide through
the dangers of the patbless wilderness.--
Now, in this tliought, fugitive though it be,
in these uncertain glimpses whether of a
truth or of at possibility, there is that, to
which the elements of their moral nature
might respond; so that to them there is the
same exemption from all responsibility
which will be graiited to the man who is
sunk in liopc-less icliotism, or to the iti-
fzint ofa day old. Even with the scanty
materials of a heathen creed, a pure or , u
perverse morality iniglitbe grounded tliere-
upon—‘.vhether in those longings of a vague
and undefined earnestness that arises from
him who feels in his bosom an affinity for
God and godliiiess; or in the hccdlessness
of him, who-, careless of an iinknowti bone
factor, would have been alike careless, al-
though he had stood revealed to his gaze,
with as much light and evid_ence as is to be
had in Christendom. These differeiices at-
test what man is, tiiidet'- the dark economy
of Paganism; and so give token to what he
would be, under the bright: economy of
it full and finished revelation. It is thus
that the searcher ofthe heart will find out
data fora reckoning, even amozsg the rudest
of natures children, or among those whose
spiritual light glimmers most fcebly. Even
the siuipletheology of the desert can supply
the materials of a coming judgement—so
that the Discerner ofthe iniier man will be
at no loss for a principle on which He might
clearly and riglite_otisly try _all the men of
all the geiicrations that be upon the face of
the earth. The second iuportant bearing
oftbis principle is on the subject of religious
education. For what is true of E1 savage is
true ofa child. Its moral may outrun its
iii-gumentative light. Long anterior to the
possibility ofany soutid conviction as to the
cliaracater or existence of a God, it may res-
pond with seund and correct feeling to the
mere conception of Him. \Ve hold that on
‘this principle, the practice, of early, nay
even ofinfantine religious educatioii, may,
in opposition to the invectives ofRousseau
and others, be frilly and pliilosopliiczfly viri-
dicatcd. For the effect of this auticipative
process is, that though it do not at mice en-
lighten the mind on the question of a God,
it at least awakens to the question. It does
not consumate the process; but, in as far
as the moral precedes the intellectual, it
makes good the preliminary steps ofthe pro-
cess, insotnucb that, in every Christian land,
the youth and the manhood a re accounta-
ble foi‘ their belief, because accountable for
theiruse ortheir neglect of that inquiry by
which the belief ought to have‘been deter-
mined. They have all from their iiifaiicy
llG..'1lTtI of God.—May have been truin_e(l to
think of Him, amidst a thousand associa-
tions of reverei'i('.e. Some under a _roof of
piety, have often lisped the prayers of early
cliildliood to this unseen Being; and in the
often repeated soundof morning and eve-
ning orisons, they’ have become familiar to
His name. Even they who have grown tip
at randoni through the years ofa neglected
boyliocd, are greatly within the limits of
that responsibility for which we plead.—
They are fully possessed,if not with the
certainty, at least with the. idea, of a great
eternal sovereign. The very iniprecatioiis
of pi'o_faneiiess may have tmiglit it to tbetn,
The very Sabbath they spend in riot and
blasphemy at least remind them of a God.
The worsliip-bellofthe church they never
enter, conveys to them, if not the truth, at
least an imagination of the truth, which, if
it do not arrest them by it sense of obliga-
tion, will leave guilt upon theirsottls, though
it be guilt against it God who is unknown.

IIIARY VVIFE or‘ \VILLIAl\f KING or ENG-
I.AN.D—‘/Vllen asked what her husband should
be, ifslie became Queen, she itnswered, “All
,.,,;le and authority shall be vested in him.\.
llliere is but ‘one commarid, which I wish
Hm t0_ Obey , and that is ‘IIusbam/s love
__g/0.20‘ wives.’ For myself, I shall follow the
injunction, ‘I’Vivcs bu obedient to your has.
bands in all t/zinrrs.’ "’ ,

She kept the promise "she had voluntarily
made. They were proclaimed under the
title of ,VVilliam and Mary but the power
was entirely vested in him. She was an a-'-
miable and excellent princ.ess,and by her ex-
ample made industry and dotncstic virtue
fasliionable. She was constant and earn-
est iii her attachment to the king, and all
her efiorts were to promote his interest, and
make him beloved by the people.

_ The king had great confidence in her a-
bility and discretion. During his absence,
she was several times l(3ftI'C£1ellIZOfIIl(3 king-
dom, und althotigli the coiifiicting state of
parties reridered the oflice cxceediiigly diffi-
ctilt, she discliargetl her duty in a remark-
ably energetic and judicious manner.

She died in 169-1, in her 33 year.—-
Her husband sliowed it degree of aflliction
hardly to be expected from one whose feel-:
ings were so liabitnally subdued, that the
Ihiglisli considered him cold in his affec-
tions. For several weeks he was entirely
incapable of attending to any business. “I
cannot do otliertvisc than g:'ive,” said he to
Archbishop Teniiison, “since I have lost
it wife who during the seventeen years I bnvg
lived with her, never committed an indis-
cretion.”

FIINERAI. AT SEA.-—At 4 o’clock in the
afternoon, the funeral service ofa deceased
sailor took place. I supposed that the body
would be thrown overboard withottt much
ceremony, but it was not so. The funeral
was the most solemn I ever witnessed. The
body was laid otit with great decency‘, and
then enveloped in a hammock and sewed up,
About 50 pounds of stones were secured to
the feet, concealed by the hammock in
which it was wrapped, for the purpose of
Sllllilllg the I,lO(I_)’ (leop in the ()ce,'1n_ T[)Q
corpse was extended upon it plunk on the
rail of the gaiigway, and all hands were
called around, on the right side of the sliip,
to witness the solemn scene, and to join in
the prayers to he oll'ercd tip. The colors
were set at half mast, and the topsails and
top-gallant sails were settled down on the
cap. Prayers were then read. The hardy
crew were deeply affected with the scene.
The furrows in their sunliurn-t faces were
wet with tears. Never before had I belield
so solemn a group. I tliought they had the
kindest hearts of any set of men that ever
lived. The prayer being‘ over, a gun wai
fired from the bows of the scl-iooner, and
the body instantly launched into the bosom
of the ocean. [1lIorrcIl’s Voyages.

 

CURIOUS CLoci:..—-Tlie most curious
thing in the cathedral of Lubeck is a clock
of singular construction, and very high an-'-
tiquity. It is calculated to answer astro-
nomical purposes, representing the-.,'p_litces
of the sun and moon in the ecliptic‘, the
moon’s age, a perpetual almanac, and ma-
ny other contrivanccs. The clock, as an
inscription sets forth, was placed in the
cliurch upon Candleintis day in_]-‘I05. Over
the face ofit appears an image of,ou_r Sav-
iour, and on either side of the image are
folding doors, so constructed as to fly open
every day when the clock strikes twelve —
At this hour, a set of figures representing
the twelve apostles come out from the door
on the left hand ofthe image, and pass by
in review before it, each making its obei-3
sance by bowing as it passes that of otirSav-
iour, and afterwards entering the doors on
the right hand. , \Vhen the procession ter-
minates, the doors close. _
