An EvENTFuL PERIoD-MAKING HIsToRY.
This is indeed on important era. The
American people are now making a history
that will be read with interest, not only when
the boys aud girls Of to-day shall have grown
grey with age, but for centuries to come.
None OF the events recorded in the hetory of
Greece aud Rome, that are still read with so
much interest, were Of such worldwide impor.
tance, as what is now transpring ia this year
OF Grace 1861. Oar young readers and even
grown people, who pore over the details of
the war OF ~ can hardly realize that greater
strife, and if possible more important one,
is now 10 progress in our very midst. The
result is 10 determine, for the benefit Of the
world whether or not free Government like
ours, is strong one, capable OF endurance,
and adapted to the wants of the human family.
This struggle, lts causes, its details, its
results, will be constantly written about
talked Rhout, and referred TO 10 the highest
legislative councils OF this and other coun.
tries, longer than the youngest child that
reads these pages will live. Let oil the
youth, then, read about and study the trans.
piring events of the day, and let them be
be discussed at the iireside, at the table aud
in the school.room.
