Excerpt from Practical Declamations: Pieces to Speak for School Entertainment Labor clears the forest and drains the morass and makes the wilderness re101ce and blossom as the rose. Labor drives the plow, scatters the seeds, reaps the harvest, grinds the corn, and converts it into bread, the staff of life. Labor gathers the gossa mer web of the caterpillar, the cotton from the field, the ¿eece from the ¿ock, and weaves it into raiment, soft and warm and beautiful - the purple robe of the prince and the gray gown of the peasant being alike its handiwork. Labor molds the brick, and splits the slate, and quarries the stone, and shapes the column, and rears not only the humble cottage but the gorgeous palace, the tapering spire, and the stately dome.
