MISCELLANEA. 
WORKING AND THINKING. 
x 
It is a no less fatal error to despise labour when regulated 
by intellect, than to value it for its own sake. We are 
always in these days trying to separate the two; we want one 
man to be always thinking, and another to be always working, 
and call one a gentleman, and the other an operative — 
whereas the workman ought often to be thinking, and the 
thinker often to be working, and both should be gentlemen 
in the best sense. As it is, we make both ungentle, the one 
envying, the other despising his -brother and the mass of 
society is made up of morbid thinkers and miserable workers. 
Now it is only by labour that thought can be made healthy, • 
and only by thought that labour can be made happy, and 
the two cannot be separated with impunity. All professions 
should be liberal, and there should be less pride felt in 
peculiarity of employment, and more in excellence of 
achievement.
