flashamml of themselves—who refused “ to stand by their

order," though well aware that to their order alone so- ;cicty stands indebted for every advance that civilization has made since the days ofthe deluge.

There was a specIes ol shame that puzzled the hen vetIly- visitor, but there was a form of pride which com- valeted this perplexrty. lle had believml, before his ar- irit‘al on earth, that cut-throats, robbers and plundcrers must be universally exacrated by their fellowuncn; he never dreamed that mortals could ever combine to deify Ins hemes those by whom they Were Insultcd, injured, and 'trampled down ; but to his iuexpressible astonishment. he learned that destruction was deemed a glory. and pro Auction :1 dtsgrace,—-that the management ofthe chemi- cal agencies by which men Were mowed down in thou- }sands was rewarded by the cheers of multitudes. titles from Government, and pensions from Parliament; while the development of agencies which gave support to men in thousands was virulently opposed by ignorant mobs, ~sttperctliously disregarded by the Government, and com temptuonsly sneered at by the Parliament. The augt-l could not discover wiry this was; but Irma it. was, re- quired no laboured investigation to discover. Men 0 tirade and commerce, ashamed oftbeir order, had set the example of dcspisiug themselves, and had thus supplied

_ .futllicrent justification for the contemptuithwhinlt they.4

were regarded by others. ,

It is a thankless task to Set forth the moral dignity of commerce and Inaunlitcturcs; those who least desire thc areal elevation of their social position to he demonstrath ’to the World, are to be found among the merchants and manufacturers themselves. There Is no earthly use in denying or concealing that traders invoke contempt on

«rude, that manufacturers Implore for disgrace upon the-tr 1,‘ , . H , r, I, l , , I ,, ,. order, and that merchants pray for a brand ol'shame to} "5 L‘ l "* Em" "‘ "'l"- l ‘e 5""l’ “ P a" “ Ewell"

be stamped upon commerce. So far as they are indi- vidaally concerned, they are most probably rIgbt: no man was ever ashamed of his order, save the man ol

' whom his order had very ample reason to be ashamed

, in its turn.

But these men are not genuine exponents of the pre- sent feelings of British merchants and manufacturers: there are now in lh'lt hotly men resolver] “ to stand by their order,” men who .know the social importance, the

, moral worth, the national value, and the political weight -of the order to which they belong. It is to such we ad- dressourselves; we IIIvIte them toexamine the cl tints voftheir class, and to assert the dignity oflheir position vOnr purpose is toshow them the reasons why they should be proud of commerce, and why they should glory in ‘holtourable industry. We call upon them to examine :the nature of business, and Intpnre whether it does not .afibrd the best training for what. all genuine religion and .Ill true philosophy concur in pointing out as the proper purpose and object of life.

“Life, say the expounders of every creed, is a probation. The Cll‘t'lllttslltllces in which We are placed; the cvctrtst ll"f scenes ol'our mortal lot; the bright visions that cheer HS. ll"? dark clouds that overshadow Its—all these are not an idle show, nor do they exist for themselves alone, nor because they must exist by the tint of sortie blind chance; bttt they ,lrnve II purpose, and that purpose is expressed in the word ,prnbatiuu. Now, if anything deserves to he considered. as at part ol'thtIt probntton, it is business. Life, say the Ivtse. is u ’school. III this school there are lessons—toil is a les- son; trial is II lesson; and business, too, is a lesson. But the end ofa lesson is. that something be learned; and the .end of business is. that truth, rectitude, virtue, be learner, . This is the ultimate design proposed by Heaven, and It isfa

design which eVery wise man, engaged in that callmg, wrll propose to: hirnseltl . Dimple assertion ofa truth, to say to a rnatt so engaged, and to say emphatically, ‘You have attend to gum beyond suc-

VW, and that is, the mural rectitude of your own unnd. '

A man must do more: than to attain tn pIItn-tilions honesty in his actions; he must . traitt his whole soul, his judgment. his sentiments and of- fer-lions, to uprightnes, t'tllltlltt-l', and good will.

“In fine. I look upon business as one vast scene of tnoralt action. ‘ 'l‘he thousand wheels of commerce,’ with all their swift and complicath revolutions, I regard as IIII immense moral machinery. Mr-anuess and cunning may lurk amidst' it, but it Was not designed for that degradation. That must be a noble scene of action where conscience is felt to he a law. Attd it is felt to be the law of business; its very vio- lations pmve it such. It is the enthroned sovereign ofthe plan; disolwt‘licnce, disloyalty, give attestation to it. Nothing is too holy to connect with it.‘ There is a temple in one of the cities of Europe through which is. the very passage to the market-place , and those who pass there often rest their Itlll'lllPllR to turn aside and kneel at the. altar of prayer. So were it meet that all men should enter upon their daily busi- ness. The temple ofmauunon should be the temple of God. The gates ol'tradc should be as the entrance to the snitc- tuary of conscience. There is an eye of witnessing and searching scrutiny fixed upon every one ofits dourgs. The presence ofthat all-seeing One, not confined, as some inta- pine, to the sile‘nt Church or the solitary grove—tho presence ofGod, I think it not too solemn to say, is in every counting- room andwarehouse of yonder mart, and ought to make it holy ground.”

Commerce has been, under the. guidance of Provi- dence, tire grand civilizcr of nations, or rather, it alone

has presented that, condition ofthiugs uner which ciVI- ‘lmmmllyflidwnnth axul’wiilmnt‘wbicb it he- ver has made, and never can make, progress. The spirit ol naval and couIIIII'rcial enterprise could alumu mnntcrpoisc that spirit of barbarism which poets and novelists have dignified with the name of chivalry, but which. in rcalilv, means nothing more than

“ 'l'hat those should take who have the power, And those should keep who can."

men! which the advocates of oligarchy and monnpnlt have advocated in all ages; which has enriched tilled robbers at the expense of plundered slaw-s, and which divided communities, achrdinu to the Eastern prnvcrb. -IIto “ kites and pigeons, the eaters and the eaten.” II was commerce alone that broke the despotism of the single tyrant who chastised his subjects with whips, and the still more cruel despotism of oligarchy which CII'IS- tiscd its subjects with scorpions. Hence tyranny ol’ every kind, but Inost of all the tyranny of class ascen- dancy, has been ever opposed to the progress of corn- nterce. “ Well might. the aristocracy of Sparta," say the lamented Dr. Arnold, “ dread the introduction of foreign manners, and complain that intercourse with liu'eigners would corrupt lllt'll’ citizens, and suduCe them to forsake the iltsliltttiutrs of their fathers. Injustice and Ignorance must fall, if the light be fairlv let in upon them : cvr'l can only In» full-y Hrjru/cll by than who Imvr rrer'cr taste/r good. The sea deserves to he hated by the old aristocracics. inasmuch as it has been thr- mightiest instrument iu the civilization of mankind. In the depth of winter, when the sky is covered with clouds, and the land presents one cold. blank, lifeless surface of snow, how refreshing It is to the spirits to walk upon the shore and to cnioy the eternal lrcshuess and livcliness of the ocean! Even so, in the dcepcst winter ofthe human race, when the earth was but one chilling mass of inac- tivity, life was stirring in the waters. Thch began that spirit, whose genial influence has now reached to the land, has broken the chants of winter, and covered the face ofthe earth with beauty. - How few historians havu cared to record the multitu- dinons blessings for which‘the world is indebted to com merce. ' The cradle nfGrecian poetry and philosophy was in the commercial cities of Ionitt ; merchants were the patrons for whom Thales examined the phases of the celestial luminaries, and Homer poured forth his immor- tal songs; it was for commercial Athens that [Eschylus created the drama, that Pericles founded the Parthenon, and that Socrates raised morals to the dignity ofa sci- ence.
