NE w THINGS BY RAIL VA Y
OLD THINGS LEFT BEHIND. I.

The world is full of notion, like the pillows
of the sea. 1t is called progress, and its re-
suits, reform.
Time is a sea, the ages are its waves. Each
age throws out upon the beach of life, its
pearls, It's sea-weed and its sands.
Progress is the battle-cry of life. The a.
gency of the Steam Engine--that unseemly
thing we hear as we write, painting up aloft--
has woven distance in loom, and made the
world single Zone-the single Zone rib
bon round a reel 1t has webbed the wedding
garment of interests as wide as Antarctic and
the Northern Bear. Infancy hastens on to
maturity; there is not a way station of morn
ING sun and early flowers between. There is
no childhood; there are no children. They
are old-fashioned, in fact quite obsolete.
The daughter from the cradle, pauses not
at the nursery. She makes a journey or two
with uncertain step from chair to chair, and
then moves direct to the drawing-room and
the parlor. She used to talk of dolls and
play houses. Now, she discourses of balls
and beaux She wears her hair " done up
in combs; she is a lady and miss; a mel
ancholy miss is made of it to be sure.
Even the name she bears, has taken a trip
by railway, and the very accent gone forward
toward the end of the word. Plain Clarissa
is Clarissa no longer. The accent has moved
on with the progressive world, and now in
deed Clar-is-sa is the cry.
What has become of the Mollys and the
Pollys, the Carolines and Catharines of old
times? Left behind with the ruins and the
graves and the yesterdays. Carolina, and
Catharina have taken their place. Some
body asked this question and answered it al
in breath, long ago:
"Where, o where are life's lilies and roses,
| Nursed in the golden dawns smile?
| Dead as the bulrushes round little Moses,
On the banks of the Nile.
Where are the Marys and AIMS and Elias,
| Loving and lovely ofyore?
Look in the columns of old advertisers
| Married and dead by the score"
Little girls are young ladies' They useC
to retire at eight o'clock, but now they do no
ego home till morning" They are charmed
with Opera; they work cats that are NJ
mousers and birds that are no singers, il
green and yellow worsted, but the moulding
of a loaf is one Of "the lost arts" They cal
tell you who wrote the last new novel, tn
color of the heroine's eyes, and the curve 0
the hero's nose, but seem totally oblivious t
the fact, that their poor old-fashioned mothe
is toiling her life out for them, and the poo
old mother is willing, but then zoe are not.
The girls-we beg pardon-the young Ia
dies, are ashamed of their old-fashioned moth
er. She wears such old-fashioned caps, PEI
sists in old fashioned checked aprons, despise
the butterfiys wings that are worn instead
and cmtseys so like her venerable grand
mother that was.
And then, what pity she never studie

BENEFITS OF ADvERT1sING.-We were
amused, as well as gratiied, in one of our
stores, few days since. An able farmer, a
stranger to us, came in and told the merchant
that he was reader of the Gazette and that
the editor said such good word for the es-
tablishment that he had concluded to come
down to Kalamazoo, and try it, instead OF
going to Battle Creek, where he usually trad
ed. The merchant at once told him he void
try and make the Gazette's recommendation
good. The result was a trial of fifty dollars
the farmer declaring that he had enough to
pay for the Gazette three years; and the
merchant gained a permanent customer o.
value sufficient to pay for his yearly adver
tising. This instance is one in thousand
resulting from judicious advertising.

Here was a damper. Willie had never
thought of its being necessary to have letters
from his minister, OF teachers, or, from some
other person, to prove to strangers that ne
was an honest and good boy. Now what
should he do. He stood in deep thought, the
Captain, meanwhile, watching the workings
of his expressive face. AT length he put his
hand into his bosom and drew out his little
Bible, and without one word put it into the
Captains hand. The Captain opened to the
blank page and read: saal

tender spot in the breast of the noble sea-
man, and slapping Willie heartily on tho
shoulder, he said: You are the boy for
