A Hundred Years ago.

A Hundred Years ago.
Where, where are all the birds that sang
hundred years ago.
The flowers that all in beauty sprang
A hundred years ago!
The lips that smiled,
The eyes that wild
In flashes shone
Soft eyes upon--
Where, oh where, are the lips and eyes
The maiden's smiles, the lovers sighs,
That lived so long agol
Who peopled all the city's streets,
A hundred years ago?
Who filed the church with faces meek
A hundred years ago?
The sneering tale
Of sister frail,
The pot that work'd
Anoher's hurt
Where, oh where, are the plots and sneers,
The poor mans hopes, the rich mans fears,
That lived SO long ago!
Where are the graves where dead men slept
A hundred years ago!
Who were they the living .wopt
A hundred years ago!
BY other men
That knew not them,
Their lands are TILED,
Their graves are filed
iet Nature then was Just as gay,
And bright the sun shone as to-day,

The SEVEN YEAgs' WAR.-The seven
years war ragged from 1856 to 1903, and
nearly all the European powers we're en-
gagged IN il. i originated IN dispute be-
tween England and France, relating 10 the
Canadas; The French encfoached on a
tract Of country claimed by The English,
10 the wilderness, uncutlyatsd, aud min
habred, except BY sayages; and this war
has often been called "a strife about so
many acres Of snow" The miseries
which il occasioned in the interior of Eu
rope, have been seldom equalIed; and at
length the Grand Signior invited the En-,
ropean Ministers a. bis court 10 hold
conference, and after stating to them the
great adherence he felt al the bloody war
thus raging between so many Christian
nations, offered bis mediation for effeeiiug
general peace. The offer Of the Mo
hommedan peace maker was not accept.
cd, but rejected with pride and scorn,
and hoslilities we're continued until power
" brought peace. This war is represent
ed by historians rs one Of Inc most sue.
cossful that England was ever engaged 10.
One hundred ships Of war we're taken
from the enemy o. destroyed, and nearly
sixty millions Of dollars ia prize money
