"Order is Heaven's first 1 aw," pays the
poet of our school-days' parsing-book .—
In the starry heavens, we have tUe sub-
limity of order. Iu the procession of tl>,,
scasosis, and the arrangements of Nature
around us, we have the beauty of order;
and whatever is done most worthily in
human affairs, displays the most of this
quality of order.
How grand i* order in the movements
of an army! How impressive is the or-
der of a great procession ! How delight-
ful is music, the perfection of order in
sounds! How beautiful is order, jn
form and color, both in nature and art!
What magnificience in the order of arch-
itecture !
Some people have the instinct or talent
for order in a remarkable degree, and
some the reverse. We have tine capa-
bilities in that direction, as is shown by
our fondness for military evolutions, pro-
cessions, music, and dancing, which, like
marching, is ordered motion. But we
have not cultivated aud carried out the
principle in many things to so great an
extent as other iunions.
For example, go t«*^h«atre, coticert,
or popdar leel ure in JMfliXfirk. A mob.
is gathered at the lisK lVo or three
hundred people ere crowding aud scroug-
ing lor tickets. People are crushed,
clothes are torn—all is cou/uifeii stid dis-
order. Just step over to-faris. There
is a great attraction. The people begin
to gather hours before the doors, art* open.
Jlut what do they do 'I The first man
that comes takes his place next to the door
or ticket-office, the next stands behind
him, and so on : so that if there are a
thousand people, they form a long trail,
which beuds all about, and intp the next
street, perhaps, but still the first manse rv-'
ed, anq every one passes in, in quiet and
orderly rotation. %
Here, the only place where we tee such
a rule observed, is at the Post-Offica,
where every man must take his tnrn in
regular order; but at our theatres* con-
certs, balls, etc., and even at private
parties, aud among the most elegant peo-
ple. the qpwd, the crush, the confusion,
are disgraceful.
It is well to cultivate habits of order
both as individuals antl as portions of the
public. The man who makes it a rule
of his life to hav# a place for everything
aud everything iu its place—a time for
.i Very thing, and everything at its time—
the man of order and punctuality, is the
one who will be the most successful.
Order is the condition of true progress,
of social harmony, and of individnai hap-,
piness.
