THERE IS WORK ENOUGH TO DO. 



We often s. 



IMllhl 



men who appear 

 lo have no hnsin. "-s.— men possesscdof fine talents 

 mnl izood In -id lb, and whose idlene-s is uunccontita- 

 ble. But, say they, " there is nothim tod..." Let 

 lis buik iihoni and -ee if this is hue,— if the mov- 

 ing, bustling, hurrying world does not present 

 some opening where these unfortunates may find 

 that for Which they so earnestly long. 



Farming, the lonst extensive interest in this 

 country, is in continual want of more laborers. 

 Prom one end of the land to the other, the call is 

 ever going forth for men to labor in the forest, in 

 the field, in the workshop, and the factory; and 

 yet these poor men are compelled to rc<t idly fur 

 the want of something to do. The truth is, they 

 1/0 not u'i'fi In ,!., ni,i///iih/f. They are watchi 

 some chance by which they mny gain what they 

 wish without putting their ow 11 bunds to labor; 

 as Mi.- vwi' 1:11 -avs, " uniting for some I bin- lo Ii 

 up." They are the drones of the hive. They ir 

 gine, as 1 heard one of their number Bay, Hint they 

 are "born to a higher destiny" than to be ct 

 lo labor in any low sphere, and they are looking Im 

 that higher destiny everywhere but in the hard 

 blows of life. Most likely it is in tin- furrows nf tin: 

 mil, and must he dug or pounded 

 . "High Destiny" is not arr 



lint has tbe hmgaiis, the haul band, ami the 

 IT Of the worker. There always 

 nv, and there always will be, enon 

 do for those w ho want to do it. 

 There is work enough for our ladies— rather than 

 spend their lime in novel reading and poc 

 broidery— to try and open a wider sphere for their 

 talents, and to hi! it bettor than they do their pres- 



There is enough I'm- tie- philanthropist, lo allevi- 

 ctlie siilTcriligi ol hum. iinly-, lo feed the hungry , 



give clothing to the | r and destitute; to give 



... iHi-.iii- .if ,\ nioial mill intellectual education to 



the millions of [ r I'lublien who me now deprived 



the homeless, 

 the friendless; to win the 



drunkard fr.itu Ins ways, and restore hiio to bis 

 family. The thought is .iiblnno. it far exceeds the 



power of the fabled ;_""l-, whose bolts could sbal.e 



the earth and cast down the stars, and "whose 

 frown couJd darken half a world," ll is taking the 



from the breathing into it a noble 



spirit, and giving to the world "a man." 

 There is enough i.n the teacher to do, to ia- 



ruet bis chili go in nil I bat lends lo make man or 



■ in 1. ni ii. dil", i -iiire t bein WUh high and uoblc 



ui ime uts ol ul s worthy of an .bit ion— to edu- 



itc and give character lo the next age when they 



shall be at the helm 10 direct. 

 There is work enough for the Minister of Cbirst 

 1 lead men from the paths of darkness and error, 



and show them tbe gb.ry, the goodness, ami hound- 

 lore of Him whr.se blessings they each day en

 There is work cnoui;h li.r Hie farmer. His field 



is wide, and though he labored faithfully, yet he 



will find that there vet remains much to be done. 



He must educate himself The arts, tbe sciences, 



mechanics, tnal b.inal ics, and all that he can learn, 



ill tend to improve the best of all professions.— 



Let no farmer say that his work is all done, and that 



he bos nothiug to do, while there is a spot on his 



11 that can be made better by draining, or 



iching,— while his fences are not all in proper 



order. — while he has fruit trees that need pruning 



cultivating ; but let him— when he has sown his 



grain, and planted Ins corn— look and see if there 



tittle thing still to do, nod be will find 



■k, like woman's, is never done, and he 



he great or small, rich or pour, be may still find 



that he need not stand in the marketplace "all day 



idle" for the want of something to do. Solom.
