LABOR DAY AND THE PANIC. Chicago is demonstrating to the world the triumph of American genius and labor, in a time when America is wrestling with a panic. Hundreds of thousands of laboring men who are out of employment join the procession of labor's triumphs, and with joyous demonstration do honor to the toils and rewards of handicraft.

As banks totter and industrial establishments go down, it is the gala dignity of Labor Day that inspires hope. Yes, all this is but the harbinger of 8 breaking dawn. The panic is over, just give it time to simmer down. But it is well not pa88 so lightly the causes of an evil like this. A remote fact is, whatever canse, that panics visit nations periodically as if by fixed law.

The immediate causes lie in bad monetary legislation and in the dealing of fictitious values. There is not a railroad this country that is not overstocked, and this is true of much of our business in general, People have lived beyond their income, and the panic has laid bare imaginary wealth and watered stocks. Providence is kind to nations even, and panics are only a putting on of the brakes before endless rain is reached over the precipice. The laboring man needs to be composed, and have patience with the establishments where he is employed. Strikes accomplish little in the best of times, and only ruin in panic times.

Do not embarrass your banks by lack of confidence. Only let confidence be restored, and money and labor will be abundant again. FRUGALITY AND FORSIGHT OF THE LABORING MAN. "The laborer is worthy of his hire." We wish the laboring man the best- a happy home, warm clothing, good things to eat, a loving spouse, obedient children, a good name, influence in the community, and more than a compentency. How much less does our American laborer have Let him compare his times with those of Charles II, when sixpence was earned by a hard day's labor at the loom; with the wages compelled by law England in 1349; with the times of Washington himself in our land who kept 101 cows and had to buy butter sometimes for the use of his family through the misuse of labor.

Frugality and foresight ought to be the watchword of every laboring man during the years of plenty. The who labors so hard for a dollar ought to know the value of it. When sewing girls and mechanics and daily toilers of various guilds, having money saved in banks when the panic comes, they have acted foresight. Working people have a right to spend some of their earnings for pleasure during the year, but the extravagance of many hard-worked toilers is unwise and unpardonable. Get a roof over your head for a rainy day, store up corn for the year of famine, lift the mortgage before you get This is a selfish world, every man must look out for himself-only Christ, and those born of His spirit, have compassion and forgive a debts.

THE SLEEP OF THE LABORING MAN. After having discoursed upon the profit of labor, why should we further regard the sleep of the laboring man? Well, there is compensation in every direction for the industrious toiler. You see him stoop with backache, and wipe off his sweat with a sigh, and then look upon the passer-by, who idles away his life with an expression of dissatisfaction! Stop, laborer, envy not. Where is there a soul, tell me the station, that M. does not heave the sigh of dissatisfaction? H.

But yours is the station capable of most happiness. In nature things are happy only that toil. The stream that for loiters in your garden in indolence has very little music, but down by the meadow, where it turns the grist wheel, it lashes itself into a foam of ecstacy. for Labor is life! The still water faileth. Idleness despairs aud bewails.

Labor is glory! Only idle hearts see the dark future, and busy brains and hands draw the bright clouds of hope. Labor is rest! It bars the door to the weariness of sorrow, to the chafing of little vexations and the annoying promptings of lin sin. "Work pure slumbers shall wait on thy pillow; Work shalt ride o'er care's coming billow; Lie not down wearied 'neath woe's weeping willow: Work with a stout heart and resolute will." The Sabbath day is the workingman's Labor Day. God rested on the Sabbath day--rested from His labors. Religion has dignified labor more than anything, and the Prince of Heaven WaR a laborer himself.

If the Church and Christ and the Sabbath day ought to be honored of any class of men, it is of those who earn their bread by the sweat of the brow.
