The great remedy for Consumption, anil Wasting in Children. Sold ly all DnuiQists. Idleness is the sepulchre of a living man. Constant occupation prevents temptation. Idle men are the Dev ils Business is the salt oflife.' s. Humanity is constitutionally lazy. I have yet to see the first child take naturally to steadv work, or the first young man look lorvyard with no desire to an age of ease. There are multitudes of men who love work, but they have learned to love it, and have learned that they are made truly happier by it. Yre are ali looking forward to some golden hour when we may "retire from business, read the newspapers at leisure, drive a pair of steady bay horses, walk to the e with a well-fe- d belly and a d cane, and be free. I do not believe that any man ever became thoroughly industrious, save under the impulsion of motives outside ot the attractions of labor. We labor because it is necessary for us to labor for sustenance, or to achieve an object of ambition, or because idleness is felt to be a greater evil than labor. The number of potatoes unearthed in the world "for the fun of it, would not feed a (lock of sheep. In fact, I believe that God made us lazy for a purpose. He did not intend that we should have any thing but air and w'ater costless. If labor were a pleasure, we should have really to pay for nothing, and, as a consequence, we should prize nothing that we have. All values have their basis in cost, and labor is the first cost of every thing on which we set a pi ice. But labor has a higher end than this, and I will try to reveal it. Every man and woman is born into the world with a stock of vitality which must be expended in spme way. It may be breathed out iu unnecessary sleep, or appropriated w holly to the digestion of unnecessary food, and a good deal of it runs to waste in these ways. It may be expended in spoit and in play, it may be exhausted in sickness, or it may be applied to labor. This vitality is naturally a restless principle. In the boy, to whom existence is fresh, we find it unchained, and betraying itself in antics ar.d races, and foolhardy feats, and various play. It impels him to exercise and activity in all places and at all times. This vitality is alike the basis of mental and muscular power. Foi th from it proceeds all action whatsoever. . When we possess it, we live; when it leaves us, we die. This vitality is, then, the matrix, as it is the measure, ol inherent powei; yet one man with a given stock of vitality may have a hundred times the practical power of another man whose stock ol vitality is the same, the reason being that the organs of action, through which vitality manifests itself, and by which it works, are better trained in one case than in the oilier. Use is the condition of development of all the powers of the body and the soul. Facility ot action comes by habit. A man from any outside profession, obliged to write a daily brace of leaders for the newspaper would break down in six months, while the accustomed editor would not find himself fatigued beyond his wont. The greatest mind in the nation would find itself perplexed and exhausted in the while attempt to make a horse-shosome humble apprentice of the smithy w'ould make, one of superior excellence with comparative ease. The greater the facility that may be acquired in the use of organs and faculties, the smaller the draft will be upon the vitality that feeds them. The reason why some men accomplish so much more than others is not generally, that they have more vitality than others, but that the facility of labor which use and habit have given them enables them to do more without vital exhaustion. Now l:fe means but little unless it means that we are in a state of education a condition in which our powers and faculties are to be educed. If we are not in training for something, this life is one of the most serious of all practical iokes. Labor in all its variety, corporeal and mental, is the instituted means for the methodical development of all our powers, under the direction and control of will. Through the channels of labor this vitality is to be directed. Into practical results of good to ourselves and otheis it is all to flow, and those results will prescribe the method which we need. It is to secure this great end of development that the prizes of life are placed before us as things to be worked for. When we get these prizes, they seem small; and, intrinsical. ly, they are of but little value. They are, in fact, little better than diplomas that testify of long labor, worthily performed. Still LTefoie us rises worthier good, to stimulate us to harder labor and higher achievement. Still the will urges orr the organs of lire body and the faculties of the mind till that habit winch is second nature gives them the law of action, and employment itself becomes its own exceeding great reward. Still, the nrosj industrious of us feel, at times, that we are laboring by companion. Often both the spirit and the ile-Jare unwilling and weak. We are r goaded to labor by need. We are urg ed to labor because we cannot enjoy our leisure. We labor because we are post-offic- gold-heade- e, ashamed to be idle. Many a man, bowed down by his daily toil, looks forward to the grave for rest; and far be it from me to tell him that he is looking and hoping for that which he will never experience,. 1 dq not believe there will be any hurry iri eternity, or any such necessity of labor as we have here. If I have a competent comprehension of the spiritual estate, it will tax us but little for food and clothing; and if the labor to which we devote ourselves here shall train us to facility in the use of our powers, the work that will be given to us to do there will be something to be grateful for. We shall have all the rest we want. A sleep of a century will make no inroads upon our time, if we need any such sleep. But I have an idea that when the clogs are off, and the old feeling of youth comesback, we shall be glad to have something to do, and that the use of powers which labor has trained under the direction of will for worthy ends will be everlasting play, as keenly enj'oyed as the play of the restless boy. It is only as we look upon labor in this light that we understand its real value and significance. 'Vjf the prizes we win here are all the reward that labor brings it pays but poorly. But labor, like all the passages through which God would lead our life, is full of incidental rewards. The man who carves the channel of a laoorious life, taps lire springs of tributary joys through every mile. Health is an incident of powers well trained and industriously employed. wells up in the heart of him whose energies, under the control of his will, are directed to worthy, ends. Popular regard crowns him who is a worthy worker. Tire sleep of the laboring man is sweet, and none but he knows tire luxury of fatigue. Temptation flies horn the earnest and contented laborer, and preys upon the brain and heart cf the idler. Labor brings men into sympathy with the worthy men of the world. So, there is enough of joy to.be found in labor, if we will only mark its source, to encourage and content us, even if the great end of labor be somewhat hidden from us, as it doubtless js from multitudes of men. This vitality of v liich I have been talking will find vent somewhere. If, under the direction ol the will, it is net taxed for the .support of methodical labor, it wiil! demonstrate its nature in irregular ways. Wherever we find a profession or Calling, excellence in which demands great vital power, and exercise in which taxes that vital power but little, or only for brief periods of time, there we shall find vitality seeking demonstration through the passions. No person can be a great singer, a great actor, a great orator, or a great writer, without great vitality. In the case of the singer, the actor and the Urator this vitality, absolutely necessary for great success, is only subject to draft on occasions. In lire lives of all these people there are intervals of repose, in which the unused energies seek expenditure. As a natur al consequence, they are subject to great temptations, and their lapses from virtue are notorious. I would traduce no class of persons in the world. There are among these classes as pure and noble men and women as are to be found in any class, and the purer and nobler because their virtue costs them something. There is always something peculiarly dangerous in a calling that requires great vitality at irregular intervals; and the followers of such callings should understand the philosophy of their danger, and guard themselves with peculiar care. This will illustrate very well the influence of idleness upon the morals. There are those in the world upon whose vitality labor makes no draft whatever. They are not subject even at intervals to legitimate expenditures of vitality; but they have it, and, unless impotent in will or imbecile in passion, that vitality will have expenditure. No truly Christian man can be truly an indolent man. He must necessarily have established legitimate channels of methodical, vital expenditure, or his Christianity will be a veryXveak affair. There is really nothing left to an idle man, who possesses any considerable degree of vital power, but sin. A man who ha nothing to do is the devils He lias no choice iu the matter. He can find no sympathy anywhere else. Good men find nothing in him congenial. Industrious men have no time to devote to him, and would have no sympathy with him ( they had. Ali the decent world is in league against an idfe man. Everybody despises him, whether he be rich or poor. Everybody feels that he is a nuisance that he is a sneak, who re fuses to employ the powers with wicli he has been endowed, and declines to contribute his quota to the support of the race, lie is driven by the very necessity of his position into secret or open vice, and he finds in obedience to the calls of temptation the only delights that season an otherwise insipid life. Idleness is the sepulchre of a living man. A man whose will refuses to direct the vitality within him into regular channels of labor who simply feeds and sleeps, or nurses his passions and his appetites whose highest satisfaction Self-respe- ct play-fello- comes from sense is dead and buried. Of what use is such a man in the world, to himself or others? If he will not work, he is a burden upon society, even if he prey upon a pile of inherited wealth. That wealth, if he were out of the way, would pass into better lrapds; and the world has need of it for its workers; No man has a right to be idle if he can get work to do, even if lie be as rich as Croesus, simply because he cannot be an idle man without injury to himself and to society. He destroys his own happiness, buries his powers of usefulness, and furnishes to the world a pestilent example. If any rich young man read these words, I have something of importance to say to him. Your father, either by business enterprise or family inheritance, is rich. You know the amount of his w'ealth, and you know there is enough of it to support you while you live, without labor. Here is a great temptation. As I have said before, humanity is constitutionally lazy; and when you see how severely the prizes oflife are to be struggled for, you naturally shrink from the sharp, and, what seems to be, the unnecessary, competition. There is also, perhaps, in your mind, a prejudice against labor. It may not appear to you a very genteel tiling to tie yourself to a daily round of duties. You like to be independent, and to show that you are so. Now be very careful here; or you will make the great mistake of your life-- a mistake which some day you will be willing to give all your wealth to recall. I know that you cannot be happy without fulfilling the end of your being, and so do you. I know that you cannot fulfil the end of your being without the thorough development of your powers by the regular, systematic expenditure of your vitality in labor. I know that unless you do this, time will be left upon your hands to be dreamed away alone, or inflicted as a bore upon others who have something to do, or to be fil-led up by ministry to appetites which will degrade you. So I say to you, never dream, for a moment, cf a life of idle ness. Such a life will curse you and others. Such a life is as unmanly as it is ungudly. It has no adeeming feature and no apology. Have a profession, or a calling, of some kind, which shall make a regular tax upon your powers. Only in this way can you be reasonably sale from low temptations, .secure the esteem acquire of men, and place yourself in sympathy frith this woiking world. I know that there are many who are obliged to work too hard whose vitality is taxed beyond measure, and beyond the profit cf the organs aud faculties by which it is expended. While this fact is partly owing to the multiplicity and ex travagance of artificial wants, it might be greatly modified by a more universal adoption of the habit of labor. The burdens of the world are unequally borne. A great multitude live without labor; they are drones in the hive. A still greater multitude live by their wits; and over all this country never more than at the present time is there a disposition to gain wealth out of the regular channels of business. Tire real motive of this mode of acquiring wealth is the desire to gel it without earning it of legally gaining possession of what others have earned by the sweat of their brows. Neatly all the popular modes and means of speculation are modes and means cf legal gambling. Not a dollar is produced in the world that is not either taken from the ground, or pulled lrom the sea by somebody; and it is a shameful fact, that the popular means of winning wealth contemplate its acquisition without a particle of labor bestowed upon I do not believe that its production. it wealth won in this way is way. There is a legitimate business of producers and customers, antra legitimate line ol service to both, but further than this, all those who seek for wealth without adding a grain to the general stock, are leeches, sponges, nuisances. There is a moie honorable way. There are legitimate offices of service to the world for which the world will pay well; and, in one of these, at least, every man should have a place, and there do tire work of his life, winning competence as he will, and w ealth if lie may. Wealth, legitimately acquired, is valuable, and it is only valuable when thus acquired. Honest labor for the world is the only true basis ot wealth, and the grand pre1 have said requisite for its enjoyment. that everybody looks forward to the time when he can retire from business. There may be something in this beyond the nifhiral laziness of men, or their desire for ease. It may be that some intuition of the soul overleaps its earthly life, and, seeing tire heavenly goal but dimly, plants its reward of laLor on this side lire river, when it should be placed among the gaidens upon the other bank. Be that as it may, retiring from business has most commonly proved a disastrous operation. There are old men and old women whose work oflife is really done.and who may in peace and content sit down and wait their mysterious transit. We love these weary workers, and bid them be happy. But a man who retires fiom business before the work of life is done, in the full possession of his powers, retires from happiness and health. His stock of vitality is unexpended; and uneasy and discontented must his lie be, unless that vitality find an outlet through legitimate channels. A life ol active business carves deep channels, and it is very hard to change them. Better tar to die in the old harness than to try to put on another. But all may look forward to an age ot leisure, lying in the unknown land, where powers, trained to ease of action by labor, will find themselves fed by a vitality immortal as .that in which abide the springs of all power. t, Nephi cornu Wholesale and Retail Healers in FURNTURE, UPHOLSTERY, ETC.
