GOD’S LAW OF UNIVEBSAL OEDEB,
ou.
THE LAW OF THE SERIES. :
NUMBER vni.
Labor and Laborers, we conclude, then,.are to
bo organized by the Serial Law. How shall this
be done ? Somewhat after this fashion. A body
of individuals of the right stamp, and sufficient
ly strong in numbers, having procured an ample
tract of ground, and erected the necessary dweK
lings and workshops, enter upon their labors,
which naturally divide into seven departments,
viz: agriculture, manufactures, commerce and
exchange, domestic labors, as caro of the hou
ses, cooking, &0., education of children,: cultiva
tion of the sciences, cultivation of the line arts,
(all pervaded and influenced by Religion, or the
Bpirit of Unityism.) In each of these depart
ments tlioro are severalkinds of wojrk to bo done,
whioh may again bo divided or subdivided. We
have seen that each kingdom of nature is inces
santly divided and subdivided according to a
certain order. We know that human labors are
concerned only with these same natural king
doms thus divided, and that therefore the former
adapt themselves to the latter by. an analogous
or parallel mode Of division; and. now what re
mains but that the men, women and children,
yes, children, who are to perform these divided
and classified labors, be likewise arranged in
greater and lesser series and sub-series, groups
and sub-groups of laborers, so that each depart
ment of work may have its own adapted group?
Is it asked, “how is every one to get to his pro
per group, and each group to its proper work?’*
W© answer by another question. Why has not
God created all men alike in character and incli
nation, and why do wo sec such anendless diver
sity of natural talent ? Is it not evident now
how both parts of God’s creation fit completely
—His world of work and llis world of workers?
For every work to be done there is a worker
who likes to do it, (it is only through the union
of many that any workmay be rendered not only
not disagreeable, but even attractive,) and can
do it better than any one else. And if any la
bor lacks attractiveness iu itself, you can give
it nil needful attractiveness by surrounding it
with certain circumstances, as proportionate
reward—frequent change, of work; society of
congenial persons; honors to skill; emulation
between groups; well-lighted, airy and orna
mented halls of work, &c., &c. It is thus possi
ble to render any work agreeable if not so in it
self; and those that are attractive, which are
the great majority of labors, doubly or trebly so
by means mentioned.
Of one or two thousand persons who have
agreed to unite their fortunes and live and work
together, there will be a sufficient number who
will freely choose agriculture, not as their only,
but as their favorite pursuit. Another division
will choose manufactures; a third, domestic la
bor; a fourth, education, Sac. The agricultural
scries will then freely divide itself into a num
ber of groups, each of which will select some
branch of husbandry. One will devote itself to
the culture of gram; another to that of root
crops; another to fruit trees; another to garden
vegetables, &c. In manufactures, the same
.natural and voluntary grouping will take place,
and so, through all the main departments.
It is only by the Serial Law that every one
will be left free to choose the occupation he likes
best, and therefore will do best; to leave it for
the day when wearied of it; aud turn to some
other that 'he likes next in order; that for a
third and fourth, &c. So that in the course of
a single day he shall have taken part m several
kinds of work, for all of which he has more or
less fondness and aptitude. Labor thus chosen
from natural liking; pursued in short sessions,
thus avoiding fatigue and monotony; carried on
in the society of fnends and equals, with certain
ty of just reward ; and in fncndly rivalry with
other groups, &c., will become ilie true outward
- expression and manifestation of mans dignified
and variety-loving nature, and enable each in
dividual, by the free exercise of his peculiar and
distinctive powers, to have his very utmost ca
pacity of use to others, drawn out For it is
plain that a man can be most useful by that
which ho can do best—and he can only do that
best, which he laves best—and men can get the
work they like best only by coming under the
Serial Law. Wc know of no way. Labor
now is univerßally more or less repugnant and
disagreeable. Everybody avoids it who can.
"Why is this, when man’s very life consists in
activity? For the plain reason that the outward
conditions, circumstances and inodes of conduc
ting it, are of such a disagreeable and painful
nature, ns far to outweigh the natural attractive
ness of most kinds of labor. Hitherto men’s
natural tastes and aptitudes have not been, nor
could they be consulted. It has been a period
of preparation for the coming era. and labor has
always been, of necessity, obligatory, compul
sory, and uncongenial. What more natural
than that when a man and his own chosen work
cannot come together, he should be dissatisfied
with what is forced on him, more especially
When he gets but a pittance for his drudgery,
and is whipped on by fear of starving, besides
being degraded by his very misery. Nay, truly
the general hatred of obligatory, inverse labor or
toil, is actually expressive of man’s natural adap
tation for a true and free method of industry,
in which powers will be adapted to spheres for
their action. u All things, M says the wise man
“are double, one agamßt the other*” If you
want harmony, you must fit each to each, and
not expect to form a given sentence by tossing
the alphabet from your hand, or to make melo
dy by striking at hazard the keys of a musical
instrument. In either case, before you cun ex
press your thought iu words, or your sentiment
in music, you must intelligently obey the Serial
Law, with a verb for pivot in the sentence, and
a key-note for pTvot in the air melody; and if
in these, how much more in the harmouial or
ganization of human beings and their labors in
the great industrial orchestra of Humanity?
To conclude—As the particles which are to
compose the tree, are first floating about, vague
and interminable in water, air, earth and sun
light, until they come within range of the vege
table life-force, and are then by it moulded into
a form of wondrous life and beauty—so the
elements and future constltutonts-ot the new So
cial Order—the countless arts and sciences of
the present time—-human energies, so multifa
rious, and human skill and ingenuity, so exhaust
les&—rthe multiplying discoveries, and time and
labor-saving inventions of daily birth—all these
are the world’s accumulated stock of preciouß
raw material, lying yet confused, and compara
tively inefficient for much of human happiness,
until the life-force of Christian Love, -under the
guidance of-the divine method or form of a col
lective Christianity, viz. the Serial Law, slial
mould them into the grandest of all compounds,
united and harmonious human societios-

Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroad'
It will bo seen by an advertisement in la-day’s
paper, that a Public Meeting of tho friends of
the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Roilroud will bo
held at tho Rooms of the Board of Trade, on
Monday evening next, August 11th; at early
gas light, when a Report of tho Committee ap
pointed to visit Philadelphia will bo made. We
hope that there will bo a fall attendance, on this
occasion.
Railroad Difficulty.
The papers and people of Pittsburgh talk now
of nothing but Railroads.
The Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad is
opened from Pittsburgh to Beaver. Gen. Romu
soy, ol Allegheny City, is its President, and has
located the depots of tho Road there. Tho Putt
clainm that this is an outrage, and in open vio
lation of an express understanding that they
were to bo located ill Pittsburgh-
Tbe Gazelle defends Ronxssos. Wo arc not
well enough acquainted with tho facts to decide
the matter, but it docs seem to us that Pitts
burgh capitalists would scarcely have subscribed
money to build a road which they knew was to
stop short of them a mile. —Cleveland True.
IJemocrat.
BSP" Our Cleveland cotemporary is right in
. his supposition. IladQen. Rohinhon announced
his intention to terminate the Ohio and Penn
sylvania Railroad in Allegheny, when lie was
“importuning” (that’s the word) our citizens
and councils to give him money, ho would not
have raised a dollar on this side of the river-
Wo will agree to stake our reputation upon tlic
tiuth of what wo here state; or if this will not
suit Mr. Robinson, we are willing to allow him
an opportunity to try tile game over again of
raising money from the citizens of Pittsburgh.
Copper Smelting In Cleveland.
Under this caption the Editor of the Plain
dealer gives an account of a visit bo has made
to tho Smelting Works of J. G. IlusSoy & Co.,
jtist erected in that city. The company hnvo
erected a good substantial brick building, seven
ty-five by fifty feet—fire proof. At prosontthoy
have but one furnace up, but have made ar
rangements for another. Mr. Wm. Jones is
their foreman—a gentleman well qualified for
the task; than whom one more competent or
hetter skilled in tho business of smelting, is not
to bo found in this country.
They are now smelting what is called the bar
rel ore, whioh yields about Oil per; cent.; the
large lumps yield from 85 to 90 per cent. They
run off from six to seven tons every twenty-four
hours, or. avorago 40 tons per week i with ono
furnace and ten men.
Yesterday (to quote the language of
Fanny Kemble) “it rained cats and dogs, and
the streets were all grey pudding.” A specula
tion might have been made by placing ferry
boats at tho different crossings on Wood street.
To see short legged gentlemen trying to jump
twelve feet over flooded gutters was rather
■ amusing. I. Wc shall certainly have rivers in a
fow days,, and then look out for a ’heavy fall
business. /
JSgf' We hopo that tho Whig primary meet
ings which assemble to-day will take into con
sideration tho lamentable condition of the Whig
party at the present time. It might be well for
them to pass resolutions sympathising with thoir
brethren, the poor, used up coons of? Kentucky,
Indiana, &c. “ Free Tiokot Bighorn” might tax
his genius (!) by writing the resolutions.
Toledo and Cleveland Raxleoad; — We learn
from our Cleveland exchanges that the Directors
of tliis Road havo closed a contract ' with a re
sponsible company ‘in Charleston, Vermont, for
making and finishing tho entire road- The work
is to bo completed by Ist of January, 1853,
from Toledo to Cleveland. This plaoes the
early.oomplction.of this impor tant improvement
beyond doubt.

Demonstration for Cuba at New Orleans.
The New Orleans papers of the 27th bring de
tailed accounts of the second public meeting in
behalf of the Cuban patriots, held in that city
on the 2Gth, .The ; assembly was organized by
the appointment of the following officers: Presi
dent, Captain James Stockton; Vice Presidents,
J. L. Carman, Gardner Smith, S. W. Cutter,
Patrick Irwin, James Smith, Dr. Weddorburn,
J. L. Levy, N. C. Ilall, J. N. Burke, C. D. Yan
oy, and L. P. White; Secretaries, T. W. Hall,
li. Dillard, D. Du Ponta, and Alexander Walker.
The President having explained the object of
the meeting in a few pertinent remarks. Alex
ander Walkor came forward and road tho decla
ration of independence of the citizens of Puerto
Principe. He then addressed the meeting, and
read tho following resolutions, which were unan
imously adopted:
Resolved, That wo greet with joy and enthusi
asm the recent intelligence from tho island of
Cuba, as indicative, of the heroic resolution and
devotion of that people, and of their purposo to
make every sacrifice to obtain their independ
ence.
Resolved, That the Cubans having given an
earnest of their sincerity and constancy in the
struggle for liberty, it is our duty, os brother
republicans and men, to aid. by all means in our
power, their efforts, until they shall bo crowned
with success.
Resolved, That a committee of ten bo appoint
ed by the chairman of this meeting to draught
an address to the citizens of Louisiana and of
the United States ill behalf of the Cuban revolu
tion.
Resolved, That a committee of toil be appoint
ed by tho chair, to bo called the committee for
the promotion-of Cuban liberty, whose duty it
shall be to collect contributions from our citi
zens to aid tho Cuban patriots, and to forward
tho same ns speedily as possible.
Speeches wero then made by General Huston,
General Lopez, and Captain Clendeuin. Mr. L.
J. Sigur translated General Lopez’s speech,
which was as follows:
“Although I would wish to address you all
night on the affairs of Cuba, and her relations
with the Lulled States, I am yet compelled to
restrain my earnest desires, by the knowledge
that my words cannot flow directly from my lips
to vour generous heart*
Mt Is now jmbboly known that the patriots
of Cuba have struck the brat blow in behalf of
independence: that they have rinsed th«>ir own
arms in their own cause ; yet no one that knows
not their helpless condition, and the terrible
tyranny under which they sutler, can form any
estimate of the heroism of the effort which they
have made. For my part, I can say that, having
myself early cudcuvored to row the perms of
liberty m the hearts of the Cuban people, I can
appreciate the magnitude of the responsibility
they have assumed, and the obstacles they must
overcome in order to achieve tmoccsg. I know
that they have looked to you, the noble Ameri
can people the pioneers m the cause of human
freedom, for sympathy nml aid m the cause they
were about to undertake. They know not your
laws—they were ignorant of treaties—but in the
confidence of their hearts they drew the sword,
behoving that you, who had pointed the way,
could not forsake them when they but followed
in your footsteps. They knew not that there
was any prohibition to- your extending the assis
tance which your example had given them a
right to expect; and they were conscious that
there was a pervading principle in the human
bosom which prompts universal sympathy for a
suffering people struggling with an oppressor.
“ Hut in this enthusiastic assemblage I see
before my eyes the evidence that the hopes of
the Cubans were not unfounded, and that you
will not gaffer them long to languish beneath the
tyranny of Spain.
“In conclusion, gentlemen, I thank you for
your kind reception of myself, and for the enthu
siastic feelings which you manifest towards my
oppressed country.”
At the conclusion of this speech throe tremen
dous cheers wore given for Lope?, and Cuba, and
the meeting adjourned.

The Chops in Ohio.—The Editor of tho Steu

week, in speaking of tho Crops, says : “Wheat
though not so abundant as last year, i is beauti
fully filled and is more than an average crop.—
Tho crop of oats will ho largo. A good part of
it has boon out and is unusually well headed.—
Potatoes, wo are told, never yielded a larger in
crease for tho quantity planted. If tho rot doeß
not strike this year wo may look for a considera
ble reduction in the price of this standard vege

rain comes out finely though the farmers say it
will not bo an average crop. Some fields that we
saw looked as well as corn usually does at this,
season.”

Harper ,j- Layton: —lt may interest
some of your renders, as you provide dishes for
all appetites, to hear occasionally of what is
transpiring at the circles of the Foi girls, at the
M. Clair Hotel. Yesterday I attended one of
their circles, and found some eight or ten per
turns present, getting “responses’' from what
they believed to be spirits. 1 lie noises were
i|ujtc loud and distinct, made (in the tablo and
floor, etc. They were Tory peculiar sounds, and
any one, to hear them, would be convinced that
they could not he made hy the knee, toe joints
or loot; and the communications were generally
correct and satisfactory, though the answers to
some of the questions were erroneous. One
gentleman, who I believe wan an entire stranger
to all present, wrote down, on uiflcrcnt slips of
paper, the names of a number of tnends deceas
ed, and aal.ed the spirit communicating with him
to rap at his name when he came to the slip on
which it was written, which the spirit did.
Then he ashed him to rap to hi* age, when lie
died, and where he died, which he did. He then
wrote down a list ot various disease*, and re
quested the spirit to nip when lie pointed-to the
disease of winch he died, and when, oil coming
to “Debility, ' the spirit rapped--all which an
swers were udirdy cornel. The last one struck
me as remarkable, not one perhaps in a thou
sand djing of that rare disease, which made the
possibility of guessing in Uus instance extreme
ly remote. TLo young ladies submitted to manv

make those sounds wh’lrh we hear# when they

Dr Fraaklln’iiFngUh-e Slave Easv
On the ltd of March, 177.1, the Legislature of
Pennsylvania passed nil not, drawn up by Dr
Franklin, to provide lor the gradual abolition of
slavery within that (.'omnionwcnlth, the eleventh
section of which is ns follows:
"That this or any other thing in it contained
shall not give any relief or shelter to miv ab
sconding or runaway negro or mulatto slave or
servant who has absconded biniselffrom hi" or
her owner, master, or mistress residing in an:/
other St air or countru, but such owner master or
mmlxi-85 shall have like right and aid to demand,
claim and take nway hm slave or servant,
hr might have had in case iJws art had tud hern
mode."
M hat have the “higher law men ot the pres,
out day to say to this?
From remoto ages, a traditionary opinion has
prevailed among tho rude—and civilized too—
people of all nations, that tho moon influenced
tho weather. A few year* ago, the French as
tronomers reported against this opinion as a
fallacy, and the question was thought to be set
tled, but in the July number of the American
•lonrnal of Science and Arts, Mr. J. IV. Alexan
der contributes n short article on meteorological
coincidences, in which he states as the result ot
a long continued senes of observations, “ that
tho third day before the now mooli regulated
the weather on each quarter-day of that luna
tion, and also characterized the general aspect
ot tho whole period. Thuß, if the new moon
happened on the 2tith of May, 18,71, the term
day was the 2-lth of May j tho weather on which
the 2-1 tli of May determined what was to be on
tho 20th of May, and oil the 3d, 11th and 19fh
of June, the quarter days respectively of that
lunation.” This is an important and
shows that tho influence of the moon is appreci
able, contrary to the generally received opinion
nmong tho learned.
Phay Pus-Pat ! —Some things are quite ns
well said in verse ns in prose, n fact which will
be undeniable, among the poots at least. The
following impromptu, from ono of our subscri
bers, is deoidcdly ns well put ns nuy thing of our
own could ho. It relates to the new Post-office
law, and the necessity of accomodating ourselves
to it with ail possible dispatch.
“Precept on precept, line upon line,
Pre pay your po-mgn and I’ll pro pay mine '”
Tho importance of this advice will lie better
understood when we remind the reader, that by
tho new law wo Bavo two cents on every lottcr,
the postago of whioh is paid hy the sender. Our
correspondents are particularly entreated there
fore for ourselves, and the snko of the public
generally, to pay three cents in advance on their
letters that wo may bo spared the necessity of
paying jine. “ A ponny saved,” says Franklin
“is a ponny gained.” According to this rulo
two pence saved is two pence gained; and put
ting tho saved and gained together, in such oa
ses, wo are four contsrioher (by all logic) at the
close of tho transaction. —Charleston JVews.

Fatal Accident. —The Ilollidaysburg Regis
ter says : A man, whoso name we could not
learn; waß killed on the Central Road, at Spruce
Creek, on Wednesday last. In attempting to
jump on the cars bb they wero leaving the sta
tion, he was thrown aoross the track, the cars
passing over him, severing both his legs and one
of his arms from his body. He survived his in
juries but a few moments.
Local Business on Raileoads. —Tho.last re
port of tho Michigan Central Railraod shows tho
important fact that the local business growing
upon that road will alone sustain it. Tho local
earnings forthreo years ending May 31st, 1851,
have been §1,512,009 28. While tho total earn
