OLD AND NEW TIMES.
When my mother was girl,
Some thirty years ago,
Young ladies' then knew how to knit,
As well as how to sew.
Young ladies' Msncould spin and weave,
Could bake, and brew, ara sweep;
Could sing and play. could dance and paint,
And could secret keep.
Young ladies then were beautiful
As any beauties now
Yet they could rake the new uown hay,
Or milk the "brindled COW"
Young lsdies then wore bonnets too,
And with them their own hsir;
They made them from their gocd straw,
And pretty. too, they were.
v..ansr ladies' then wnre gowns With sleeves
That would just hold their arms;
And did not have as many yards
As acres in their farms.
Young ladies then oft fell in love,
And married, too the mem;
While men, with willing hearts and true,
Loved them all back again.
Young ladies no,o can knit and sew,
Or read pretty book
Can sing and paint, and joke and quiz,
But cannot bear to cook.
Yaung ladies no,o can blithely spin
of e" street warn" many spool,
And weave web of scandal too,
And dye it in the wool.
Young ladies nO,U can bake their hair,
And brew their own Cologne;
In boroDedplumsge "ften shine.
While they neglect their own:
And as to secrets, who would think
Fidelity pearl';:,
None but modest little Miss,
Perchsnce a country girl.
Young ladies notp wear lovely etirls--
What pity tAev should Guy tnemi
And then their bonnets,' peaY'ns they fright
The beau that ventures nigh them.
Then as to gowns, Pve heard il said
They'll hold dozen men
And ifyou once get in their|sleeves.
You'll ne'er get Out again.
Even love i changed from what il WAS
Although true love is known;
IT'S wealth adds lustre to the cheek,
And nelts the heart Of stone.
Thus Time works wonders; young and old
Confess his magic power:
Besuty will fsde-but VirtueQroveS
Pure gold in mans last hour.

MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

This Is an arc Of extraord!narv-of wonderful dis
covcries-and many things which are now familiar TO

years ago merely probable, would have subjected
the person expressing such opinion to the risk of
being laughed at an absurd dreamer, or pified rs
an insane theorst. The uses Of steam, gas Iirhfs
aud many other improvements are instances which
will be readily acknowledged. If the following ac-
count of most important discovery should anpear TO
behighly mprobable let it be recoccod that ii il not
more 80 than some ofthose familiar were ORR
