I* it True or False f
The great mass of mankind are laborers. The
broad sweep of that universal law, that in the ;
sweat of our face we ahall eat our bread, lays on
the race the stern alternative,—work or starve.— '
What relation has the beBt back and the furrow- 1
t d brow, and the hard hand and the worn-out
frame, and the overtasked brain and the weary
unking heart, with the growth of the immortal 1
nnud, and w ith all those Letter aspirations ol the
soul—those most characteristic marks of the Di
vine linger whKk formed it!
Von are obliged to work ! Thank God and all ;
your stars fur it ! Out of his infinite treasure .
house of gifts, we know that the Creator could 1
had a more precious one than tins same necessity
of labor, lit the midst of your weariness and !
pain, think a moment:— abot of some some lies
at the fountain of ail progrr ss, all hope, all good, !
here or hereafter. From first to last, life is a
school to tea' b activity, effort, labor. Kvery sense j
and every muscle of the body must be trained: ■
every islellectual and moral power within us has
; to be brought out and cultivated. .N'amre is a
vigorous old school-dame; and the morning greet
ing and evening charge to her pupils is. what the ,
voice of conscience within us is,—he that will'
not work shall noteat- Nature givesgi 'thing but
the raw material, which we nnisiwol*. up for our
wants. Thoughts as well as wool, must be ooinb
i ed and spun; virtue as well as gold, must be dug
out, cleansed and assayed; honor, station, power
—ail good must be built up, course by course,
toilingly and anxiously every step to the top. If
nature had her wav, the monarch hi this world
would lie the greatest worker, and the only order
: of nubility composed of those that achieve the :
; largest and best results. Labor is life's grout func
tion. With spade and plow, with shaft and fur
nace, with lire aud steam, ain.dst the no.se and
whirl of swift aad bright machinery, abroad in the ;
jsileut fields under the roofing sky—every where
and always man must work, always be experi
meeting, pushing, progressing. He is a man only :
when be works—he is faithful to life’s go al law,
and God’s express Will only as he toils on, in imi
tation of the nn' ire tha' supports him.
Yes, thank God for tabor ! It is the only way
1 of happmeas aud self-sespect- Luxurious indo
• lence nev-r vet did for a man, and never will.—
There is a law against it. Kvery good thing in j
this world has its price. Whatever is obtained,
without, effort, by a necessary iaw of the mind. '
is used without pleasuri. To enjoy a thing we
must strive foi it; and usually the measure of the '
enjoyment w.il be the length and stress of toil by
which it has been obtained. The mother loves
not on* of tin ,Tuup that clusters around her fire
side, and claims her affections as she loves the
poor tragi! - plan; whose life and growth have been
the fruits of manifold watchings, and cares and
tears. No deviation or installment is half susweet
to the posseaso* of millions, as that fifst precious
dollar that rewarded his early toil. The heart
glides with a thousand precious affections, the i
object if strives and toils for. The world over,
j labor aad peace, toil and pleasure, work and hap.
pi ness go hand in hand. The sweat of the brow ,
turns into diamonds and drops into our path.
Nobody has a right to live who does in. Ia!«>r
in same way. A lazy man is a defaulter in the
most precious trusts; and tried by a just standard,
he deserves tofu- shunned—-if not shut up. Na
ture has so respect for the man that will not work, J
She uses him very roughly indeed. If it were rot
for his friend*, or for his crimes he would be
starved and put out of the way. If vou risk the

Flay Beguiling Foote!
When H. S. Foote first entered the l’. S. Senate,
his speeches ranked him one of the most violent j
southern men in that body. He etnploved the
harshest epithets in denouncing aboiitto,lists and
tree.sellers. Indeeil, he wanted to hane some and i
shoot others. Among the last. Mr. Clay came in
for a large share of his abuse, and, although the
latter cannot brook opposition not forget abuse,
yet he postpone 1 his contempt, am! actual!> smiled |
on the 1 itteSenator, white he temptingly held out;
the value and mode of acquiring “ a national re
putation." What, to be caressed hv the grave
Kentuckian, and to wed his name to immortality
by being in company with that great man. The
prospect was too das'.ing—the influence was too.
rapturous to be withstood for a moment. Foote's
vanity and seif love took captive hut patriotism
and Southern fueling, and thus by flattery be was
hurried into the camp of the enemy and into the
betrayal of his constituents. Thus he sold his
political integrity aud the interests of those who
had honored him, for the smile of a' foe and the j
distant prospect of a national fame. .
And now' like the fox in the anecdote of the
bell, Mr. Clay having examined Foote, and find
ing him possessor of a long ami noisy tongue,
much brass and no brains, takes him along to
scare fools with. Probably the Mississippi Sena
tor, has at last found his true calling and natural
lev ej.—.S' rut hern SluntiarJ.
Fatal Rencouter in Florida.
A fight occurred near Nassau, in Florida, on I
the Itith inst., between 11. K. W. Clark, Esq., of'
St. Mary's, and W. H. Taylor, Esq,, of Savannah,
Oa., which resulted in the death of the latter —
ib'iwas shot with a double-barreled gun, the j
charge entering his back, killing him immediately.
Taylor fired three times with a pistol at Clark, aud
one of Ins shots wounded hiui ii; the tnoulder.
We take the following from the Sav annah Even
ing Journal!
The particulars, as we have learned them from
Capt. McNelty, of the steamer Magnolia, arrived
this morning, are as follows: Mr. Taylor was en
gaged m teaching in the family of Mr. Harrison,
w hen a dispute arose between him and Mr. Clark,
who is in some way connected with the family of
Mr. Harrison. Clark first shot at Taylor, and was
about to shoot a jam, when Taylor drew a pistol
and shot him in the arm. disabling it. Taylor was s
was then advised to leave the place until the an
ger of Clark should be appeased. He mounted
a horse, and was in the act of leaving, when Clark
ran round the house, and met some persons w ho
w. re coming in from a hunt, took oneof thetr guns
and fired at Taylor, lodging the whole load in his
back, from which he died mahout ten nrunue.s.—
Mr. Taylor was brought up in our city, aud but
recently concluded Ins studies of the law, and 1
has relatives in this city to deplore his untimely
end.
“ I hSd a brother-in-law," said Muse Perkins,
"who was one of the raveuest. maddest, reddest,
hottest aoolitiomsts you evi r seen. 1 liked tiie
pesky critter well enough, and should have been
very triad to see him when he come to spend the '
day, fetchin’ my sister to see me and ray wife, it
he hadn't ’lowed his tongue to run ou so ’bout nig
gers and slavery, and the equality of the rae<-s,
and the duty overthrown!* the Constitution of the
United States, and a lot of other things, some of
which made me right raad, and the best part of
’em right sick. 1 puzzled my brains a good deal to
think how I could mak ■ him shut up his noisy head
’bout abolition.
“Wall, one time, whenmy brother-in-law comes
over to stay, an idea struck me. I hired a nigger
to help me in haying time. Ue was the b'ggest,
strongest, greasiest nigger you ever did see — '
“ Black”* ne was blacker than a stack of black
cats, and just as shiny as a new beaver hat. 1
spike to him. “ Jake,’’ sez 1, “when you heai
the breakfast bell ring, don't you say a word, but i
you come into the parlor and set down right
among the folks and eat vour breakfast.” The
nigger’s eyes stuck right out of his head about a
feet! “ Voti’re a jokin.’ massa,” sez he. “Jo
kin’!” sez I. “I’m sober as a judge.” “But.” i
sez he, " I shan’t have much turn to wash myself,
and change shirts.” “ So much the better,’' sez 1. ,
Wall, breakfast time cum, and so did Jake, and i
he sat down ’long side of my brother-in-law. ;
Hi- started, bin he didn’t say a- word. There
warn'! no mistake ’bout it. Shut your eyes and ,
vo i'd know it—for be was loud’ 1 tell you. There
was « fust rat? chance to talk abolitionism, but
my bru’.he:-;u-lsw never opened his chowder
head.
“Jake,” said I, “you he on hand at dinner,”
and he was He had been workm' in the medder
all the forenoon—ii was as hot as hickory and
bilin' pitch—and—but I leave the rest lo your im
agination,
“Wall, in the afternoon, brother iti-law come
up to me, madder than a short-tailed bull m hor
net time.
“Mose," sa.d he, ■* 1 want to speak to you."
“ Sing it out,'' sez t.
“ 1 hain’t but few words to say,” sez he, “ but
if that ’ere confounded nigger comes to the table
agin while Pm stoppin’ here. I’ll clear out.”
■Jake ate his supper that night in the kitchen, ,
but fmra that day to this! never heardmy brother
tn-uw open Jj.s neatl a’.out abolitionism. W hen
the Fugitive Slave Law was passed, l thought
he'd lei out some, but he didn’t, for he know'd
that Jake was still living on my farm !”

Tie’ following humorous yarn was spun by Le
ver, tin fact Lous author of I'baiits O'Malley.
“ I believe a woman would do a great deal for
a dance,” said Dr. Growling: “they art im
mensely fond of saltatory motion. I remember
once in my life I used to flirt with one who was a
great favorite in a provincial town where 1 lived, !
and i unfided to me she had no stoekings t > appear
m. and without them her presence at the ball was
out of the question.”
"That was* hint to yun to buy the stocking:;,'’
said Dick.
“N . you’re said Growling. “She h ov that

“ T i go in cotton, I suppose,” return- 1 Dick.
“Out again, sir—you’d never guess it; and
only a woman could have hit upon the cv |»cdieiit.
It was the fashion in those daya for ladies in full
dress to wt ir pink stockings, and she proposed,
painting her legs
“Painting her legs;” they all ciclaimel.
“ Fact sir,” said the Doctor, "and she r«: ed
upon w. for telling her if the cheat w as success
ful.” "v j
“ And was it ?” asked Durfv.
“ Don't be in s hurry, Tom 11 omplied on ouc ,
condition, namely—that 1 should be the painter.”
” Oh, you oid rascal f” said Dick.
“ A capital bargain,” sau! Durty.
“ But not a safe covenant.” added the att-uney.
“ Don't interrupt ms, gentlemen,” said the doc
tor. “ 1 got some rose pink, accordingly, a.id 1
defy all the hosiers in Nottingham to make a tighter
fit than 1 dul i n title Jenny; and a prettier paired
stockings I never saw.”
“ And she went to the ball."’ said Dick.
“She did.”
“ And the trick succeeded^' inquired Durfy.
“S.j completely," said the Doctor, “thatseveral
ladies asked her to commend her dyer to them.— i
So, you see what a woman will do to go to a
dance. Poor l.tllc J-rnny! she was a merry imm

EIGHTEEN INI) UREY HYIR!
OK, I.QVK S t OUST '—A PrrlTK HWlVKIK.
After nu absence of two years spent in travel- 1
ling, i saw her again at the theatre. She was the
attraction of the whole house; all eyes in the pit
were fixed upon her: and l, after one, could
sc arcely venture on a second glance: at length I
lummoned resolution; obtained a full view of
her; but how was I horror struck. Tnc reason of
the general observation her entrance caused was
now apparent; a cold slavering came over me; my
knees trembled:
Poor, unhappy Henrietta ' 1 sighed, as I con
vulsively bit my lips. One of tny neighbours, !
perceiving my emotion, touched me with his elbow,
and said, “ Do you observe that young lady in
the centre box—the first row. Is it not surprising
that so young a creature should have white hair?”
“ And with such Sparkling black eyes, too!" re
marked another : *• what a thousand p»tie3"’ “If
a writer of romance were here/' said a third. [
“this beautiful monster wcuId furnish materials |
for an excellent ballad, something a ia Heinr, at
which we know not whether to laugh or cry.,—
Biack eyes and white locks; our attraction and
abhorrence ; a true and lively picture of the liter- t
ature of the day !” 1 could have annihilated the
impertinent puppies.
At last the curtain rose: what was acted God
knows. The audience laughed. 1 ground my
teeth in agony. 1 several time* thought of mak
ing rt bolt for the door; but an irresistible power
chained me to the spot where my devoted victim
presented herself. Cold drops stood uponmybtiw
but 1 remained. -The plav was over and my tor
mentors recommenced talking of the young girl
with the gTey hair.
“ K ir rny part/' said one, " I think it not at all
unlikely that this poor thing in some lonely walk
at night stumbled upon a ghost. Have you read

What ctl'ect thisbiitburst of my anguish, this
involuntary confession of my wrongs to Henrietta
—wrungfrom me by a guilty conscience—produced
on my auditors may well be imagined ; but l uc ki

its thunder; all that noise and fury signifying no

My remorseless memory pictured, in colours too
true and faithful, how she had vowed to me her
innocent, weak heart, and its dawning atfectmns;
how I had sworn to b - eternally hers; to adore her
whom 1 had so shamefully forgotteu and forsaken.

with white hair and a broken heart, sinking fast,

of wings, with great ease and rapidity. She was j
advertised to fly a distance of above l.Uti feet,
rising m the air above 600, but exceeded the pro- j
gramme both m height and distance. No descrip

have a spread of some fifteen feet, are fastened by I
ligaments of great flestbflttv. Hid arru.ig. •! 'll' •<!

In regard to th« mode of putting her* into a

taring u on the ground for the (teat to wait tbere

hire over them—then throw a sheet ore* the hive
and *i*rmkrr the sheet with water—ex coed inglv
awkward mo.tc* of proceeding when beet light an
i»w that they may be reached, and impracticable
modes in ease they are out of reach.
There are cases met with which defy tha art of
the tire keeper. Some * warms are determined to
y.. off; hut generally there t* no difficulty in biting
a new swarm provided common sense and com
timn prudence are exercised. We have baldly
ever had any difficulty, in a practice of Ally years,
tu sccutoig new swarms when they tight on limba
not more than a dozen feet htgh. A ml they very
seldom go to high as that when there are numer
ous peach trees, apple trees, or any others that are
usually found in our gardens.
Our practice for very many years has been to
place a table ot some other platform under the
bees, and set the new hive on the table, right side
up. It is a very awkward business, to say the
least, to hold up the mouth of ths hive as you
w uild to catch hail or rain. And it ia equally
absorb to rap the bush or jar the bees in the least
till the hive a all readv for them to crawl into.—
I h. v never liy into a new, hive—they crawl in.
When we have act our hive on the platform we
raise it just lush enough tor the beet to go under,
placing bits of board an inch square under the
comers. Next we take a pole tong enough to
reach the hmb on which the bees .eat and rap the
ltuib hard enough to shake the bee* off. We aim
to have Ihe main txidy of them fall on one side of
the hive, and there we leave them to And then
own way up into the hive. If they incline to
gather again on the luub we give it another rap or
two and cleat it.

securing ;he swarm than we should be by scatter
in* the bees on the grass ground and trusting to
the placing of a hive ove- them !a!fore they could
have time to rty away. Hy taking this method we
run no risk <rf being stung, and are in no need of
mittens or a veil ovei the face. Not a bee is
crushed and no ill will is engendered: A woman
could secure a swarm in tins way without the least
danger of being stung or of giving offence to the
bee*
Kvi rv one who ki eps bees should hate low. tree*
or bush-s handy for them to tighten, and in forty
rune out of fifty cases bees will prefer the green
huso to any piece of board that may b« set as a
trap lor them.
Bee houwi am a great moth indeed—they are
protectors ot moths and not of bees. A common
hive gives shelter to all within—and, as moths are
outsiders and entitled to no protection, no house
should shelter them. Let the hives stand on se
parate posts and let the winds whistle and drive
away all enemies that have no right to shatter.
We can think of no improvement thai has been
made iu the management of hees for thirty yeara
past unless we except the practice of placing boxes
in the upper end of the hive, or on the outside,
so as to take away a portion of the honey when
there is a prospect that the bees will not want it.
