The Hardship Of Work

Murat Halstead, one of the most practical of American journalists, givesas his recipe to make a capitalist - sixteen hours of work per day for sixteen years; and it may be considered infalliblo. The good, indefatigable worker is sure one day to become a capitalist to a greater or lesa extent. All our great men are great workers. No man ever achieved eininence who commenced by reducing his hours of labor to the smallest number of hours per day, and no man every worked very hard and attained fortune who did not look back upon his working days as the happiest of his life. The fact is, work is the best thing we have got, and the more we can do the better it is for us ; not in a money point of view alone, but from a moral and intéllectual point of view. Work is not a hardship ; it is the want of it that is the hardship. How good work is to us ! It lightons our griefs, soothes our disappointments and brightons the darkest day as nothing else can. It gives us home, friends, good things to eat, clothes to wear, pleasant things for the eyes to rest upon. It makes us able to gratify the wishes of those nearest and dearest to us, and it constantly makes the world better to look at - better to live in. Let us magnify work, then ; lovo and honor work, not whine over it aud couiplain of it. Let us sing ita praises, rejoice over it, and show our real appreciation of all it is and all it does for us by doing our share of it well, by putting tho best that is in us into our work and leaving it as a memorial of which we shall not be ashamed. - Hearth and Home. .
