Very frequently we hear complaints of tho evils resulting from the progress of improvement Had il not been for such all invention might have lived and secured good wages-is the remark of many in these days

 There is an error on this subject which we wish 10 combat. It k true every improvement which ena- bics one man 10 perform the labor of % or 100 per s0ns affects uriously 10 9j .aborers tclnporari. y. so long they employed in procuring and periecung themselves in some other occupation.-

 But on the other hand, the cheapness of f,roduc- tioA, caused by this saving of labor, is benefit which extends thousands. in short, to all the con. of articles whose production is increased by thi improvement, and mol for the. present only, but for ali future lirne.

 Improvements in the macbinery fer the manufac- ture of cotton goods multiplied Inc productive power of labor hundred fold. and there are those who la ment the departure frsin the old dis!af and hand- loom. h the GbsaBce of these improvements, one of two things mpst necessarily have been the case Either We must have been contenied with one hun dredh part of the cotton goois made, or ninety nine more laoorers for every one now employed in their productfon must have bcen employed, and we should want the articles they employed in produ- ciKg.

 % Conceive if possible, q state of society in which all lahor-saving machinery is unknown, and men have nothing but their teeth and nails to assist them in theT labors. Compare this state to the present. and then pronounce whether improvement has been q curse to our race

 But some will say, ''there ia a meiium in all things, and there is point at which even i'm provement ought to sop.' Bur lei no one say that We have arriye at that point, whilst small children and delicate females employed thirteen or four taen hours per day, in supplying the wants, natural or artificial, of the community

 Either mankind mast contract their wants into greater accordance with nature or there is necessi " for still greater Improvements, in order 10 reduce the hours of labor 10 standard better adapted to fos- fer powers, physical, mental and moral, than ex ists at present

 degree of physical effort is necessary to physical health, but it Is lees true of the higher parts of our natnrn, thai to seure their healthy action we must have time for their exercise-Se ent fc .7aefican.
