[t is greatly to be regretted that terms
which are so acceptable to the fighty rebels

cause so much clamor, from their non com -

BEDFORD. FRIDAY. SEPT. 13. 1867.
WHAT is LAJJOar
| To its present inhabitants, at least this
is a new country. Tlu wilderness and lux
uriance of nature must be tamed and prun- j
ed to'fit it fu. rim highest needs off the race.
One r not is that as a people wa are prac
tical; we praise labor; we admire muscle; we
reward it with poiitiuai houors; oar preach
ers preach ''ciuacuiar Christianity;'' our
young men—nay our old men —contest far
; -he meed of victory ui base ball; :ha race is J
:o the swill ami the battle to the strong;
| gymnastams and caiiathenio jchtuL are a
part of our educational inatiiuieius, and
>ruin work is at a discount, or rather, mus
cle rules.
So Long as this pride of bodily strength, and
physical energy, is kept La its proper place,
oil is well, but arc we not, otieourajjug a oa
--tirnent whieh is unjust so the braix workers
of the race? It is true that the crowning
glory of a man ie his physiqao ' -i-re site
j laborers, the muse!a men, the only ones who
t labor.' Do not others who staad in tiiu
onlpit or on tiia| rovruan. who study in 11-
oraries. experiment in iaiwratcnes. think,
nvestigate. and write in parlor and ano
; mux, aciuaily iabor ? Is the prq.eotor and
lirector less a worker thua he aho delves
and digs? We think not. All honor to
the wall directed muscle which expends it
self in transforming the wildernt-s, m im
proving our homes, and in constnieung ina
-ihiaury and other appliances tor' human
comfort ami huppiaess; but at tlie sumo
time, justice to the chiaker, the writer, and
speaker, who ckioorates tiic crude idea and
; transforms from ihu shapeless oreuf thought
| tola of the uiind.
The inventor knows how often his nights
are passed in sleeplessness, and his days in
■ lbstraotsess. in order to eimadatw and pcr
-1 "ect his unformed ideal. The ciiitur knows
! how hand and brain become exhausted .u
' the effort to iead, or even to keep up with
j the never ceasing march of improvement.
: The nund and body are too intimately con
i neoted for the exercise of one aot to wear?
• -he other. The thinker teeis a iaoguor o£
j the body as Weil as an uxhan.stiuu of the
1 mind after protracted intellectual work.
! The writer caiia into play a set oi muscles
which are among the most easily tirei. The
almost unceAsing movement of the hand
| and arm in the act of writing is scarcely
; surpassed in any merely manual iabor.
1 Back and forth across the page and from
j inkstand to paper, for hours, the hand arost
1 go. until the .veuried muscles refuse to per
oral their office. The constrained position
| ;s next in exhaustive tendency to an en
forced confinement in the stock.-.. Of" n the
; body lecomes so iebiitatcd that when the
writer is released his appetite is gone, and a
anguor winch forbids healthy sleep suc-
I reeiis.
But apart fr in the Mu:iy weai'nieas in
duced by the botiiiv ex-irtion, theover-train
id brain react- an the body and produces a
-sense of physical -train not at ail a.iierent
■ from that experience by the muscle worker.
The enforced action of the wiil, whieh com
pels concentration of thought on one sub
ject, produces intense weariness and pain of ,
body. Then the frequent, -diversion of the
otumtimi trom -mo -'li-'-uit to ail-to ——- com
pulsory on the businvss axon, who overlook , j
i tiie different departments of his business,
i and the requirements of many persons, who
! intrude up- n him every moment luring the
j iay, is anything but conducive to ease the
j body.
Except for those who perform the sim-
I plestand most meehamcai labor, there must
ie brain work, with muscular exertion, the
unthinking worker only hail' works. His is
the iabor of the slave or the ox. with no iu
s ntive but the hour or reienae and the grat
ification of appetite. The mechanic i->
; tho-ighi.foi of the process which -lie axaahiuo
jhe teniLi is elaborating. He observes its
failures and shortcomings and -traightway
jiits the brain ut work to improve the do- ;
; vice. Or lie finds employment for mod in
devising an improved cooi. Hence come j
! -Ime of our mast vaiueu iuventicw. t
! this brain thought no labor ' Does it not
weary ' It w aid be rodicuioaa to argue '
' otherwise.
To return to tbo mental laborers, who
anmng the people age faster' Their hair
er ws gray and their bodily functions refuse
their otfiec sooner than those of the merely
mechanical laborer Theirs is the harder
lot, for the aiind driven for hour- :n one
truck, refuses to -top at beck or call, and it
becomes master of the enervated tody and
- denies it rest: wuilo the mere muscle work
er finds rtipo.-o as iooa as the straia on the

'Why, to continue in business, and ae

"And what next?'
'lt ia the lot ot all to die. and I of course
I cannot escape., replied the young man.

Not far from where the present establish- '
ment of the Harpers stand. James Harper '
i began his work. He held the lowest posi
| don in the office. Ail mean and servile
work was put upon him. The sons of
I judges, aldermen, lawyers and men of money
were :u trade and merchandise around the '
I pcintffig offiee. These pert, well dressed. !
and proud stripling., iftcn crossed the path- j
way of the rustic iaii His -ihoes were
heavy, coarse and ungainly. His olothes
made from doth manufactured m the old
i homestead, were rough ia material and
i doveniy in make. The young buck-deiigh '
ted to ridicule James. They would -hout :
to him icrosß the street—"Did your boots
come from L'aris? "Jim. give us a :ani to
your tidlor. hat did your mother give |
a yard for your broadcloth?" Sometimes
the rude follows came near and under the !
pretense of Sseiing of the fineness of the i
doth, would grab the Besh. lasniting and j
taunting as all this WAS, he bore it for a !
while with meekness. This was construed j
into cowardice.
The young printer saw that he must end j
this treatment, and he could only do it by •
taking s firm and manly stand. He had nil j
idea of wealth or position. It was his pur- !
pose to do right— to so conduct himself that
his mother would aot be ashamed of him. !
All the.success and position that coald at
tend fidelity to duty, he meant co secure,
but iie resolved not to be imposed upon. ,
One day, while doing some menial work,
he was assaulted by one of his tormentors, j
He deliberately set down the pail that he
was carrying, flurried on his assailant, booted j
him severely, and then said; "Take that;
that's nxy card; rake good care of it. When i
I am out of my time and set up for myself,
and you need employment, as you will, I
coma to me and bring that card, and I'll j
give you work." Strange to say, forty-one
years after, chat -ame person came to Junes
Harper s establishment and asked employ
ment, claiming it on the ground that the '
"card' he hail given him forty-one years 1
ago. be hud kept to that -iay.
VV hen James was free, having served out!
his time, bis master said to him. "Yon have J
been faithful, and 3hai! always have a good

little surprised to hear the young man an- ,
aounee his intention of setting up for him- j
