One Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago, there was not
a single white man in Ohio, Kentucky.
Indiana and Illinois. Than what is now
the most fourishing part Of America,
was as little known as the country around
until 1857 that Boone left his home in
North Carolina, TO become the first set
tier OF Kentucky. The first pioneers of
Ohio did not settle for twenty years after
this time. A hundred years ago Canada
belonged TO France, and the whole popu-
lation did not exceed a million and o
half Of people. A hundred years ago
the great Frederick of Prussia was per-
forming those great exploits which has
made him immortal in military annals,
and with his little monarchy was sustain
ing a siDgle-handed contest with Russia,
Austria and France, the three great pow
ers of Europe combind. A hundred
years ago. Napoleon was not born, and
Washington was a modest Virginia Co
lionel, and the great events in history of
the two woil Is, in which these great but
dissimilar men took leading parts, were
then scarcely foreshadowed. A hundred
years ago, the United States were the
most loyal part of the British Empire,
and, on the political horizon no speck in.
dicated the struggle which with score
of years hereafter established the great
republic Of the world. A hundred years
ago there were but four newspaI ers in
America. Steam engines had not been
imagined and railroads and telegraphs
had not entered into the remotest con-
ception of man. When we came to look
back at it through the vista of history,
we find that to the century passed has
been allotted more important events, iE
their bearings upon the happiness of the
world, than almost any other which has
elapsed since the creation.

Of his active labors, that he will want
that in you he can not fiud-an intelli-
gent companion. You forget that Won
will soon be distanced by your children
in the acquisition Of knowledge, and they
will be sure TO make the sad discovery
that mother is more ignorant than they /;
and, with this discovery, generally comes
che loss Of respect for her judgment and
opinions. Women seldom rest, except
TOR a few hous at night; yet they need
it, and should take pains TO secure it. 1t
IS not wasting time TO rock and read,
without the knitting. You husband
would think it hard TO work so steadily
at all hours and, in consequence Of their
hours of rest, men do not often grow old
so fast as women. The frailest sex work
the most necessarily, and the work is
lore arduous when there are but one or
two little ones than when the family be-
comes larger, aud some are old enough
to assist the mother. II you do not love
reading, still practice it Till you do love
it; and you will soou become interested.
In addition to the Bible, which we hope
no mother will reglect, let valuable
books be read when they can be; but for
those who have as little time as the
housewife, newspapers and magazines
must form the staple reading, as the
short articles and items are well adapted
to the spare moments that can be
snatched here and there. Woman must
be intelligent, if she would win both re-
spect and love from her husband and
children. She must constantly improve,
if she would he what she should be, by
no means considering her education fin
ished when she gets married"

INVENTORS TRIALs.-Arthur Helps,
in number of Good Words, sketches
the possible experience of the inventor
of the first soheel in perfecting his inven-
tion. The supposititious trials of this
protector may serve as an illustration of
the actual vexation experienced by those
who devise new apparatus in these later
days. Says the chilling old conservative
to whose notice the device is first
brought:
ave seem to have gone on very we'll
for thousands of years without this roll
ing thing. Your father carried burdens
on his back. The King is content to be-
borne on mems shoulders. The high
priest is not too proud to DO the same.
Indeed, question whether it is not ire
ligious TO attempt to shift from mems
shoulders their natural burdens. Then,
as to its succeeding, tor myipart, I see no
chance of that. How can 1t go up hill ?
How is one to stop it going down?
How often You have failed before IN 9th
er faneiful things of the same naturel
Besides, you are losing your time; and
the yams about your hut are only half
planted. You will be beggar, and it
is my duty, as friend, to tell you so
plainly. There was Nangchung; what
became of him? We had found fire for
ages in proper way, taking proper
time about it, by rubbing two sticks to-
gether. He must needs strike out fire at
once, with iron and flint; and did he die
in his bed \ Our sacred lords saw the
impiety of that proceeding, and very
justly, impaled the man who initiated
heavenly powers And even if you
could succeed with this new and absurd
rolling thing, the state would be ruined.
What would become of those who now
carry burdens on their backs ? Put aside
the vain faneies of childish mind, and
finish the planting of your yams."

Rest for Mothers.

As a general thing American women
have to work too hard during certain
part Of their lives. Not that they should
be idle or have nothing to do, but they
should never oyerwork, if they would
have their children of high order Mrs.
Josephine G. Bateham, of Paipesville,
Ohio, in speaking on this subject in the
Ohio Fdrnaer, thus discourses:
eThe causes of this too early decay of
mothers and neglect from children lie,
we think, far back, commencing in the
anxious, overburdened young mother.
We understand your position, sisters |;
you love your husbands, and You feel
that their interest is yours also; you are
anxious to help to economize as far as
possible, and, at the same time, desirous
of gratifying your husbands tastidious
tastes: SO hire no help-for you really
can not afford it--yet the house must
be the perfection of neatness, the table
must be abundantly, if not daintily,
spread; the babe must be cared for, and
as well dressed, too, as any OF ycur
neighbors' children; and, in fact, you
are as healthy and smart as yonr &C
qaaintances, and many Of them do all
this, and so you will. Soon there is an
other child, and then another, and still
you strain every nerve to do all the work
without help. You have no time for
reading or for rest; you forget the ti-
ture, and do not ask what will he the
end of all this. Your husband, too, ad-
