TO MY WIFE.
Pillow_thy head upon this heart,
My own. my cherished wife!
And let us for one hotir forget
The dreary path of life.
Then let me kiss th_y'tears away,
And bid remembrance flee
B’dck- to the days of halcyon youth,
When all was hope and glee.
Fair was the earthly proinise, love,
Ofourjoy-frt-igh ed hark;
Sunlit and lustrous too the skies,
Now also dim and dark.
Over a stormy sea, dear wife.
\-Ve drove with shattered sail;
But love sits smiling at the helm.
, And mocks the threatening gale.
Come, let me part those clustering curls,
And gaze upon thy brow; ‘
How many, many memories
Sweep o'er my spirit now!
How much of happiness and grief-—
How much of hope and fear-—
Brcathe froineacli dear lov'd lineament.
Most eloquently here!
Thou gentle one! fewjoys remain
To cheer our lonely lot;
The storm has left our paradise
" \Vith but one sunny spot.
- Ilallowed for‘er will be that place.
To hearts like thine and mine;
’Tis where our cliildish hands upretired
Al’fectioti’s earliest shrine! ’
Then nestle closer to this breast,
My food and faithful dove!
\Vhcre, if not here, should be the ark
Of refuge for thy love?
The poor man’s blessing and his curse
Pertain alike to me;
Far shorn of worldly wealth dear wife,
Am I" not rich in thee?

THE NQBILITY on LABOR.
BY LEONAR-D ia.tcoN.
'With the sentiments already noticed, and
with the structure of society which engen-
ders them, the sentiment of contempt for la-
bor and poverty is inscparably connected.-’—
Where society is divided into classes bv
hereditary distinctions—-one class created fo
possess, to enjoy. to govern, to be honored.
and another class destined to obtain by toil a
scanty subsistence, or in tiiore fortunate in-
stances a humble cotiipetc-ncy——lt-ibor is of
course dishonored. There those who are
born to labor feel that their lot" is ‘clr-grad;i-
tion, they are made to feel it by all the ar-
rangements of society. Human nature eve-
ry where, and under all political institutions
is prone enough to despise labor, and to hon-
or as the favorites of fortune or of Provi-
dence those who have nothing to do; but in
the state. of society of- —\vhic.h we are speak-
ing, tliat»propeus_ity instead of being conti-
terztctetl, as the author ofour nature “design-
ed it should be, is pampered to a monstrous
growth. Man was made for employment,
made to provide for himself, and to enjoy
what he has the more for its being the fruit
of his industry; and that constitution of so-
ciety only is in accordance with the consti-
tution of individual man, in which rach in-
powers, and is stimulated to a wholesome
activity. §ociety is not yet so constituted in
the old world; -though by successive chan-
ges it is continally approximating towards
such a constitution, Meanwhile the old
contempt for labor remains, acting and re‘-
actiiigbettveen the two great classes into
which society is divided—thc meie consum-
ers despising the producers, and the produ-
cers therefore despisingthemselvcs——the un-
productive consumers blessing themselves
as the favorites of heaven, and the producers,
on the other hand, c-nvying the consumers
and ever learning to hate them.
In our own country, different sorts of la-
bor are of course help in different degrees of
honor. Those etnployinents which reqttire
high intellectual and moral qualifications,
cannot but be regarded among us as rtiorc
honorable than mere muscular drudgery;
for it is naturally presumed that the man is
furnished with those personal qualities
which are necessary in his employment.-—
Still, with us, no sort of hottest labor is dis-
honorable. Our country has thousands of
legislators and in-agistratr-s who cultivate
their own acres with their own hands. and
who think none the less of tliemselves on
that account, and are none the less thought
of by their fellow citizens. But under other
systems, the different kinds of labor, insyad
of being more or less lionorablé‘-,' are only
more or less dishonorable. VVliere the
highest class is supposed to find its honor
and its felicity in doing nothing, there neces-
sity of earning ono’.s bread in order to eat it,
is a dishonor, a marl: of inferiority; and
each particular kind of labor is higher or
lower on the scale of respectability, not in
proportion to the dem-.in<.l which it makes
fora higher or lower order of qualification.
but in proportion as it brings men nearer to
it level, and secures from them the patron-
age or the deference, ofthe unlaboring aris-
tocracy. Even in the middle ages the man
of science or of letters, the physician, the
learned clerk, the slrilful tirtizan, could
command from peer and king something of
the respect dueto iritelectual and personal su-
periority, but still the superiority of knowl-
edge and of virtue, was as nothing before the
greatness of hereditary wealth and pow-
er. As civilization advances. the. aristocrat-
ic class becomes more educated. and seeks
to ally itself more closely with the intellect"-
ual class. Thus the dignity of idlcncssis
placed side by side with the dignity of intel-
lectual power, till by degrees men begin to
see the difference. And while idleness is
thus insensibly losing its exclusive honors,
industry itself begins to be delivered from its
reproach; for knowledge is continually
spreading wider and lower among the labor-
ing classes; and political power is passing
sometimes by gradual reform, and anon by
the convulsive shock ofi'evol'ution, from the
few to the many.
lapse before the effects of the old order of
things shall be elfaced from the manners and
feelings of the whole people.
I have not forgotten that there are causes
at work in our own country, to decratlc the
true nobility of labor. I have not forgotten
the ambitioii of some to impart the ideas and
to ape t.he habits of European life. This,
however, though aided by the const'ant- cir-
culation of English “tales of‘ l:1SlllOn=tl)lt'
life,” and of other things in the same style,
can-have btit little eflicacv in counteracting
the tendency of the great facts of our condi-
tion. The fact that here the cultivator-s ol
the soil are tbelords of the soil, will stand in
spite of Blackwood’s lvlagnzine anl Bul-
iver’s novels, and here and there a rich man
to make himself unhappy by living in the
state and pomp of aristocratic laziness.-—
And so in spite of all such influx.-nces, the
fact will stand, that here all the political
power is iii the hands‘ of those who live by
industry; and that other fact‘, that the few
who can live without labor are too few and
too scattered to cotistitute ii class, and that of
them not one in five is willing to live with-
out some active and useful employment.-—
Nor havel forgotten that, by a mournful
rinoinaly in the political organization of
some portions of our cotmtry—-an anomaly
contradictory of the principles and_tcntlen-
cies ofthe American civilization—-labor is,
in those localities, dishonorable; and ifI am
compelled to believe that sttch an anomaly
will be permaneiit upon the American soil,
outliving or subduing the various influences
with which it is at war, I never shouldhave
thought of speculating, butfiivith shame, up-
on the. probable-character and functions of

American literature.. That anomaly must
pass away. or all that brightens and adorns
this land with the promiseof a‘ new era of
freedom for mnnltind, must perish before it,
rind society its-.lf must be constructed upon
other principles than those which are now
recognized as its foundation-—yt-s, upon prin-
ciples more preposterous than monaichv,
and more barbarous than federalism. The
American structure of society must predom-
inate here to the exclusion of every hostile
element, or its very foundation must be sub-
verted. The soil of freedom must be culti-
vatr-d by the bands of freemen, or the time
will come when from each traditionary hull.
and‘frol'n each sacred battle field, the voices
ofthe fzuarrlian genii, will be heard in tones
of grief, “ Let us depart.” Where is the
man, callirig himself an American, who
does not in his heart believe that this dark
anomaly will pass away; and that the time
will CC-fit‘, when no spot in our vast union
shall be profuried bya fettered step. or bv
the strdlte of an unwilling hand. but everb
where f-jocund labor shall look up to heaveii

HINTS To YOUNG MEN.
. Tliegbllowing is an extract from an address
deliveréd by Rev. Dr. Bemaii. before the Young
Men's glssociatiori in the city of Troy:
In fulfilling our high intellectual destinies
as a nation, mttch must depend on the fidel-
ity and,-en'.et'prise of young men. A. few
generations will probably decide our charac-
ter, in this respect, for ages to come Le:
youngmen remember, that there is such a
thing as adaptation of intellect, acquirenient.
and moral power, to the genius of the age
and country in which we live. There is a
mutual acticnand re-action bettvet-ri the hu-
man mind and the time and place in which
_its powers are developed. The spirit of the
age and country marks certain lines upon
the character, and form, and feature’ of the
But ages mtist yt-t e-__
intellectual and moral man; and this char-
acter. form and features are thence imparted
to the existing and coming age. Men and
habits are moulded by their influence. Vic-
tory and defeat dvpend upon their action. A
speciuldirection ofthe human powers, and a
peculiar mould. of thought and feeling, are
demanded for certain exigencies of nziiional
existence. The demands of our own court-
try,~at the present period, as they are appre-
hended by the speaker, may be gathered
with respect to their grand outlines, from
this discussion. Vie need a vigorous
race of young men thoroughly to tcsufhe ca-
pabilities of this republic WK: want full
grown minds, cnlarged and liberalized by
Jitiiozsgrélgc. and trained to virtue, and puri-
fied by religion. Give us young men who
have none and muscle enough to stand alone
without the ‘aid of artificial bones and mus-
cles. ‘We want large hearts and strong
hands; and here is room enough, in the fair
heritage that God has given us, for the high-
est pulsations of the former and the most
beneficent exertions of the latter. But we
have no use for those delicate creatures who,
though in the form ofmt-n, affect more than

infancy, and he himself a young man of 23.

was very highly respected; but the party
adverse t(()1 him in politics suddenly gained
the ascen anc , on
down a peg oryttvo.
A ‘ t0\\'nlnE€.ll_ng’ was to be held, and
town officers to be appointed ; among whose
number, in old Connecticut, is an official
personage designated a ‘Hog }m._'yward.’——
The duties of this dignitary are not exactly
synpnymous with those ofthe ‘Hzglz-0.ga-
tor, of the sister State of New Jersey.
(whose business it is to take the curls out of
pigs’ tails;)’ but are rnuch more responsible,
though perhaps hardly as laborious. The
hog—baytvard’s duties are to ‘ captivate’ all
stray pigs, put rings in their noses, and im-‘
prison them in ‘the village pound.’ To this
high office his enemies‘. resolved to elevate
Mr. Sherman. The totvnmecting convened,
dispatched its other business. and came to
the ele}ction of dpetgy ogicers. at the tail of
which ist, stan st (2 o cer we s cal: of.
‘Gentlemeri,’ said the moderaibr, ‘please
to nominate for hog hayward.’ , , _
' Roger Minot Sherman l’ exclaimed half
a‘ dozen voices‘. The moderator, being" a’
worthy‘ man. was somewhat amazed; but
could do no less than put it to vote. by re-
questing ‘those in favor of the nomination
to h_old up their right’ hands.’
The majority of elevated bands was over-
whelming; but the moderator felt inclined
t'o give the matter the go by, and said, it was
‘not a vote.’ _
The voters‘ immediately clrtmored forqa
division of the house. Mr. Sherman, who
had long rcmainedd quiertily seated in ndcor-
ner. now rose, an wit" fratikness sai :'-
‘Mr, Moderator, this‘ seems to me most deci-
dedlv to be a vote; but'ueverth'eless, I would
ihanlr ‘you tot allow the house to rliirirle. in
order to show me limo" 7na_vi_7/ ling; I shall

Aingcdote.--—A*n old‘g*‘entle-men of eighty-
four, having tilren to the altar at young dam-
sel of about sixteen, the clergyman _said to
him, “The font is‘at the other end’ of'the
cht_irc.h.” " Wh.-it do I want‘ with the font .7”
s;iid'the old’g+~ntleinnri‘. "I beg" your par-
don,” said the clerical wit, “ I’ thought’ you’
had brought‘ this child to be C;‘_‘hristr-ned.”——
"Nor to he Christeried, but‘ to be stirnained,”
replied the old man.
Among the ‘hoaxes’ that were played off
on the first day of the present month, we
haveheard of no better one than is" described
in the New Orleans Picayune. A dentist
