TWENTY YEARS AGO.

How "onderCus are the changes, Jim,
Sinca twenty years ago,
When gals wore wo1len dresses, jim, d"
And boys wore pants Of tow.
When shoes were made of caifskin,
And seeks of homcspun wool:
Ard children did a half days work,
Before the hour OF school,
The girls took music lessons. Jim,
Gron the spinning wheel,
And ''practiced" late and early Jim,
On spindle. swift and real
The boys would ride bare Jack" to mil,
A dozen miles or 80.
And hurry of before twas day
Some twenty years ago.
Th"n reoplo rode to meeting, Jim,
In sheds instead of sieighs
And wagons rode as easy, i'm,
As hucgies nova -da,s:
And oxen apswere,, we'll for teams
Though now they'd lie too stow;
For People lived not half SO fast,
Some twenty years ago.
o. we" do remember, Jim,
That Wilson's Patent stove"
What father hOug'i' and paid for, Jim,
In cloth cur gals hal wovc;
Ant how the height ors wondered
Nh'r We got the thing to 90.
They salt 't~ould burst and kill Us all,
ssnie twenty years ago.
Yes. everything is different jim.
rom What il r>cd to was.
For M II hre always rampcring, Jim,
With Gods great natural iats---
And what "n earth we re coming to,
Docs anybody know?
For 've'ything has changed 50 much,
since twenty years ago.

SEWING MACHINE WAR.-At the State Fair,
Just held in Sacramento, the various Sewing Ma
chimes offered for sale in this State were on exhi
bition, and committee of three ladies, agreeable
to the San Francisco agents of the Grover IL Ba-
ker, and Wheeler IL Wilson machines, decided in
favor of the former. For some reason, (alleged
partiaity of the committee for Grover Il Bakers
machine, we tbink,) all the machines of other
manufacture than the lastnamed were Withdrawn,
and the agents of Wheeler Il Wilson and Wilcox
Il Gibbs withdrew their machines before the de-
cision of the lady committee was handed in. A
day or two after the seeding machine agents
published in the lower city papers a card censu-
ring the committee, and Wheeler IL Wilson's
agent now says in his advertisement that those
machines /" have always taken the first premium,
over all others, at every Fair IN California, when
exhibited in competition for premium" The
committee decided in favor of Grover Baker s
machines, both for quality and beauty of work
done, and the award is now appended to the ad-
vertisement of those machines. From this it
would seem that the Grover 81 Baker machine is
the best Read their advertisement elsewhere,

Without leave he had taken a mule belonging 10
