For the Jeflersoniaii.
The Sons of Labor.
The injunction, that " man should eat
his bread in the sweat of bis face," is
one of the primary, and definite machin
ations, which prolong a civil and consti
tutional prosperity throughout the world.
jjjAll must', and all are hourly employed,
iu uarrjiog out cue manuaie or tneir own
co-operative and interchanging destiny.
To be employed at something always, is
emphatically the desire of mankind; and
few of our race seldom languish for the
still and dreary inaptitude of idleness.
God ordains it so, and our own minds
anticipate the fixity of the established
rule. It is inherent and existant in our
nature, to Be, to Do, and to Suffer. We
nr th Wrh in.liriniM. nn,i;nn ;n
the vast arena of generative action
j f o
universal improvement, and all acceller-
ate the progress of intellectual achieve
ment. Our own especial joys or sorrows
either facilitate or retard our individual
success. It is entirely in our keeping
either to merit failure or to succeed in
the various undertakings of our lives.
But, in this last assertion, men generally,
are indisposed to agree. They attribute
tneir lauurc to some supernatural agency.
The thing called Luck, is their favorite
axiom complaints are heard that times
are troublous, and friends deceitful ?
that the world is undergoing a great
change, unlike " the same world they
loved in their youth." The Common
wealth of Labor is for a while agitated
till some are perceived far above their
brethren in durable success; but the
current moves on in its respective avoca
tions, and the survivors of the alarm have
triumphed.
And however exalted in our position
or self-esteem, the sentence of labor is
executed upon our destinies. The grades
of our profession, however trivial, are in
themseves the executives of the general
law. He who dwindles away his life in
the palace, or the ante chamber, fulfills
the decree as inexplicably, as he who has
to dig and delve, till death ends his sor
rowful, cxistance till he departs this
life like the drone, stung and swollen
with contempt and fatigue.
The many whose destiny has placed
them in the easy and voluptuous positions
of life, seldom recognize the sorrows of
their brethren placed in a sterner ap
pointment; and let us inquire which of
the two classes enjoy the bitter sweets of
their existance. The former, over-wrought
in the inapt and languid indispositions
which are in accordance with their state,
never find relief in their desire. How
many persons rise every morning sullen
and perplexed, after a night of fever?
their slumbers troubled, their bodies rid
den by nightmare, and their blood soured
by indigestion ? Their minds and appe
tites, too, in a state of nervous excitement..
What suit will they wear to-day? What
appeal best answers their demeanor?
Which particular dress? Who are they
to visit? What for breakfast? In short,
their whole appeal is, how will they pass
over the day. But the latter aro other
wise. Their sleep is tranquil, serene and
healthy. Their dreams, if any, are the
soft realities of their temperate desires.
Cheerful and invigorating, both in miud
and body, they rise from their hard couch
with an alacrity truly refreshing. Their
morning meal is sweet, although devoured
in haste, their hands willing and their
tempers delighted. Resolution and stern
determination of will arc the accompani
ments of the temperate workman. It is
these which steel his heart, against sor
row and disappointment these which
nerve his sinewy arm, and inflame his
zeal these which uphold and sustain
him in opposition, malevolence, and other
encroachments on his unlimited right,
lie is free free from enemies, from vi
ces, and from prospective failures. His
inheritance is sure, and his reward grest.
Who has not been delighted with the
songs of Burns, composed while engaged
in the meanest farm drudgery, or who
has not felt his soul glow with admiration
as he perused the dignified and affecting
pastorals of BloomGeld? Allen Ramsey,
too, is one of tbe examples whereiu labor
is lightened by song. Lincoln, it seems,
was at one time a farm laborer. Johnson
also soiled his bands, and many others
whose names shall illustrate the pages of
history till the end of time. The mental
qualifications of a man are seldom oblite
rated by constant and persevering indus
try; but these rather brighten the intel
lect. The diversity of mental and bodily
labor serves to strengthen each alternate
ly; and the products of each magnify as
they arc diversified by studious exertion.
How much of human misery is spared to
men, if they acquire the habits of indus
try? The answers arc vivid, clear, and
exalted. A due exertion, in tho ways of
industry, surely bring reward, happiucss
and prosperity. The home of tbe idler
is a den of licentiousness, destitution, and
want. Tho children, squallid and bany,
are fostered in the same unprofitable ca
reer of their sire. The kin of idleness is
inherited with the sin of the geueral cor
ruption by Adam, or tho curse of Law.
The energies of youth are mude dormant
and ineffectual; and at last they become
a burden to society, a shame to their pa
rents, and a torment to themselves.
The habits of industry can be acquired
at an early age. Youth is tho eeason of
exercise, vigor and hope. Once acquir
ed, the industrial habit will lead youth to
fame, riches, and elevated positiou. Bo
rjueatb your sous a few fiacd aqd estub
lished rules to become industrious, and
you may bequeath his right of heirship
to anybody. Langford.
The Harvest of 1867.
Tho grain and other staples of the
country being now fairly harvested and
the yield known, the following statement,
compiled by an accurate observer, may be
of interest, as showing the relative capac
ity of the different States for producing
the various staples.
Illinois, according to this report, is
much the largest producer of fndian corn,
more than one sixth of the whole crop of
of the country being grown there,
and also the largest producer of
oats, yielding more than 20 per cent, of
the whole, aud of hay more than 20 per
cent. . Pennsylvania takes the. lead in
the production of rye, giving nearly one
third of the product of the whole coun
try, and iu buckwheat over 42 per cent.
New Jersey produces more rye than any
other State, according to population.
New York, takes tha lead in the pro
duction of barley, about 40 per cent, of
the whole product being raised here.
Virginia takes the lead in tobacco; her
crop is about 30 per cent, of the whole.
New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
together produce two-thirds of all the rve.
New York stands the tenth State in the
production of Indian corn, being exceed
ed by Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Ten
nessee, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky
and Missouri. In wheat New York i3
exceeded by Illinois, Wisconsin, Michi
gan and Iowa. Illinois alone has in corn
about 5,000,000 acres; in wheat, 2,190,
000 acres; in rye, 345,000 acres; in oats,
883.000 acres; in bailey, 41,000 acres.
The Southern staples, cotton, rice and
sugar, cannot, of course, enter into this
estimate, but the statistics of these crops
for this year are, considering all things,
exceeding favorable. Altogether the
harvest of 18G7 is one of the most boun
tiful ever gathered in thi3 country.
Temptations of the Race Course
A New York correspondent of a Mobile
paper thus speaks of the temptations of
the course : "One of the habitues of a
certain Broadway sporting house was
worth nearly half a million dollars ten
years ago. He was engaged iu a busi
ness that paid him thirty thousand ayear,
and had the entree of the best society
His wife was the daughter of one of our
wealthiest bankers, and all his family
relations were of the first respectability.
Accompanying a friend to ihe race course
one day, he was sized with a passion for
owning fast horses and dashed into the
sports of the turf. In a short time he
bad a stable stocked with the best horses
to be had, and his bets were the wonder
and envy of thoe less fortunate in pock
et. Luck was against him. He lost
heavily ; his business went down ; one af
ter another of his horses died ondis bands;
his stable was sold ; his house -next ; his
old friends dropped off ; his wife died
and his children became scattered ; and
now he spends his nights in loitering
about bar-rooms and listening to the horsc
talk of jockeys and gamblers. This man
would have probably been worth a mil
lion of dollars to-day if he had kept clear
of the race course."
v Judge WiUiams.
The Germantown Telegraph, an inde
pendent journal of wide influence and es
tablished character, in an article of mark
ed ability, has come out for Judge Wil
liams, and strongly against Sharswood.
We quote the concluding paragraph :
"In the times now upon us it is essen
tial that every man should define his posi
tion. Internal peace and uuity can ouly
be perfected by the success of the nation
al cause and the defeat of all opponents.
It is high time that we set the seal of con
demnation upon those who, like the re
creant in the White House, can sec noth
ing but unconstitutionality ifi tho acts of
Congcss or in whatever tends to consolidate
and render pcrmaneut the triumph of the
national cause over the worst treasou
known to history."
In Maryland the Republican Union
party are orgauiziog for a vigorous cfiort
to defeat the new Constitution framed by
the late Conservative Convention, which
essentially turns the State over, bound
band and foot, to the rebel clcmeut. The
Republicans will have a hard battle to
fight, with the chances against them. In
a State where the rebel soldiers are pet
ted aud freely accorded the right to vote
and control the State, and the colored
man who bravely fought and bled for the
flag, is down trodden, there can be little
hope that Uniou principle will prevail
yet awhile.
The Boston I'vst, one of the ab'etand
best conducted Democratic journals iu tho
couutry, has become a couvcit to unive
sal suffrage. It remarks; "Wo should
be glad to sec tbe Massachusetts Suffrage
law adopted by every State in the Uuion.
No matter what a man's color or size may
be if he can read and write, is tweuty
onc years old (we have no objection to
cightecu), and so forth let him yoto."

An Adventure in the Cars.
There were five of us yes, five as hap
py fellows as were let loose from college
It was "vacation," and wc concluded to
take a trip to tho Falls. We got on
board the cars at N., and were soon travel
ing yery rapidly toward our destination.
We had just seated ourselves and pre
pared for a comfortable smoke, when, in
came tho conductor, and who should it
be but our friend Fred B. After tho
common salutation, "How are you-old
fellow?" kc, had.passed, Fred said he had
some business for us to attend to.
"Out with it, old chum!" said we;
'anything at all will be acceptable, so let
us have it !" -
"Well, boys," said Fred, in a confi
dential tone, "in the next car there is as
lovin' a pair as it was ever my lot to see.
They are going down to II. to get mar
ried, and now, if you can have any fun
over it, just pitch in. They must bo
cared for, and I don't known who can do
it better than you." '
In a moment Fred was gone, and we
set our heads together to from a plan furs:
"taking care of the lovers." -
"I have it, boys !" said Bill' Steevers j
"wc must make the girl think that her
lover is married "
"That's it, that's it !" said we, not giv
ing him time to finish the sentence.
"That he is a married man and tho
father of children !" said Bill.
"That's the game, boys ; now let ns
play it !"
It devolved upon me to commence oper
ations. According, I entered the car in,
which we were informed the lovers were
The girl, thinking, I suppose, that sha
must give her lover all the seat, sat on his
knee ; and he, for the purpose of protect
ing her, of course, had thrown his arms
around her waist; and so they sat, in real
soft lover's style.
All this I gathered at a glance. Stop
ping up to them, I said :
"Why, Jones, what iu tho deuco aro.
you doing with this girl ?" . ...
The girl arose hastily and seated her
self on the seat.
"See, here, stranger!" sajid the fellow
"you're a bit mistaken ; my name isn't
Jones." "Why, Jones," said I, "you certainly
haven't left your wife and children, and
tried' to palm yourself oil for a single,
man, have you '."
"I tell you my name ain't Jones ; itV
Harpcr. It never was Jones; hain't
agoin' to be, nuther !"
I merely shook my head and passed to
auother seat ta see the rest of the fun. Tho
girl looked "wild" after I sat down ; but
Jones alias Harper soon convinced her
that I was mistaken.
About the time they had got feeling:
right well again, iu came Elliott Gregg.
Walking up to Harper, he accosted him
with :
"Why, you here ? How did you leave
your wife aud babies ?"
"See here, stranger, you ain't the first
man that's called me Jones to-day, an' I
reckon I must look awfully like him, but
I hain't Jones. I hain't got any wife, nor
babies either ; but this gal an' ine is agoia
to splice, an' then you can talk about my
wife and I wouldn't wonder but what
iu the course of time you might talk;
about the babies too, but you musn't calh
me Jones !"
The retort brought forth vociferou
laughter from tho spectators, and it also
brought blushes to the face of the girl.
"Ah, Jones," said Gregg, "you will
regret this in -the future. I pity your
wile and this poor girl."
'So, Harper your real name is Jonesrr
is it ? an' you've been fooliu' me, have"
you ? Well, we ain't spliced yet, an' I
don't thiuk we will bo soon," said tho
girl, and her eyes fairly flashed fir.
"Jane, Jane!" said Harper, "don't
you known I'm Bill Harper. There ain't
a darn drop of Jones blood in me, an
I'll prove it." . , .
At this moment Jeff Jackson,- BilP
Steevers and Jim Bycrs entered, and, of
course, their attention was called to Har
per by his loud talking. They supped
upon to him, and said :
"Why, Jones, what is all this fuss
about?" "
This was more than Harper could
stand. Ho leaped upon a seat:
"No," said he, "my name is not Jonc
an' I can lick the fellow that says it is!"
By this time wcvgot to II., and our
frieud Fred came iuto the car and Har
per kept quiet. The girl that wouldn't
be spliced requested Fred to help her on
the train that was goiug bak tc
while be, and the uotorious Jones, alias
Harper, followed her. We learned after
wards that ho proved himself to be Bill'
Harper instead of Bill Jones, aud he and
his gal Jano wgot spliced."
