TWENTY YEARS AGO.

How wcndrous are the changes, Jim,
Since tSenty years ago,
When gals wore wooden dresses, Jim.
And boys wore pants oftow;
When shoes we're made of calf-skin,
And socks of home made wool,
And children did half days work
Before the hour ofschool.
The gals took music lessons, Jim.
Upon the spinning wheel,
And practicsd late and early. Jim.
On spindle, swift and reel
The boys would ride bare back to mill,
A dozen niles Or 30,
and hurry of before twas day.
Then people rode to meetiR', jim,
IA sleds instead OF sleishs,
And wagons rode ia easy, jim.
- buggies nov days;
And oxen answ cred we'll for teams,
Though now they'd be too slow,
For people lived not half 30 fast,
Some twenty years ago.
o, well do | remember. jim.
That Wilson's patent stove,
That father bought and paid for. jim,
Ia cloth our gals had wove;
AID how the nsighbors wondered
Y hen We go. the thing to go,
And said 'twould bust and kill US all
Some twenty years ago.
Yes everything is different, jim,
From "wnat IL unei &c was -
For aen are a.ws vs. tampel ing. jim,

And what OH earth we're coming to-
Does anybody know
FOR ever, ming has changed so much.
