Rising in the World,
Yoe should bear constantly in rain
that nine -tenths of us are, 'from the ve
nature and necessities of the world, bor
to gain our livelihood by tile sweat of o r
brow. 'What reason have we then o
presnme that our children are not to o
the same ? If they be, as now and the
they will be, endowed withextraordina
powers ef mincl, those poivers may ha e
an opportunity:4 developing themselve

the harm is not very greOlt to us or o
them. Nor does it hence follow that t ie
deseendaats of la.borers are always to e
laborers. The path upw4rdl is steep 4d
long, to be sure. Industry, care, ski 1,
excellence, iu the presentlparent, lay, t i e
foundation of a rise, under more fav•r-

tempting to reach the topiat a single Ie p
that so much misery is pko(leced in t e

such attempt has been 'cherished a. d
encouraged by ithe stranue projects that
- we have witnessed of late years for
making the labbrers virtuous and happy
by giving them what is called educatiorit
The ed -motion which I speak of consists
of la " ging children up to labor with
steacliri.ess, with care, and with skill --
to show them how to do as many useful
things las possible—to teajth them to do
themall in the best mann r—to set them
an exam ole in Industry, Obriety; clean-
liness and neatness—to ihake all these
habitual to • them, so that they never
shall be liable to fall into the contrary—
to let thein always see a oocl living pro.

from them the temptat1iois to get at
