One Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred and ten years ago, there
was not single white man in Ohio, Ken
lucky, Indiana, Illinois. Then, what is
now the most fourishing part Of America
was as little known as the country around
the mountains of the moon. 1t was not
until 1865 that Boone left lis nome in
North Carolina to become the first settler
OF Kentucky. The first pioneers of ONO
did no settle until twenty years after this
time. a hundred years ago, Canada be-
ionged to France, and the whole popuia-
ton did not exceed a million and half Of
people. \ hundred years ago, the. great
Frederick Of Prussia was performing those
great exploits which have made i'm im-
mortal III military annals, and with his
little monarchy was sustaining a single
handed contest with Russia, Austria, aud
France, the three great powers Of Europe
combined. y hundred years ago NapU-
leon was not born, and Washington was a
modest Virginia colonel, aud the great
events in history Of the two worlds, in
which these great but disSimiIar men seek
leading parts, were then scarcely fore
shadcwed 4 hundred years ago, the
Uaited States were the most loyal part OF
the British empire, aud on the political
horizon no specs Indicated the struggle
which witbin score OF years thereafter
established the great republic OF the world.
A hundred years ago, there were but four
newspapers IN America. Steam engines
had not been imagined, and railroads aud
telegraphs had not entered the ram0test
conception of man. When we COME to
look back at 1t through the vista of history,
we hud that TO the century passed has
beGn IiOttcd more important events, in
their bearing upon the happiness of the
world, than almost any other which has
elapsed since the cleatIon,

A WoMAN's SERMON. Dear friends
there are three. things | very much wonder
at The first is, that children should be so
foolish as to throw up stones and brickhats
and clubs into iruit,trces, to knock down
the fruit if they would let it alone, it
would faE itself. The second is, that men
should be So foolish and even so wicked as
to 90 to war and kill one another ii they
would only let each other alone, they would
die off themselves. And the the third and
last thing which wonder at is. that young
mcn should be so uuwise a. TO go after the
young women if they would oniy stay at
home, the young women would come after

more economical than that of the slave.
And labor Of which there is never failing

This cheapness Of Chinese labor will be-
get condition of things in which capital
will favor this Mongolion influx, while the
political elements that will distrust the in
huence of Chinese vote, will oppose it.
There seems to be trouble brewing with
reference to this emigration We shall
have infinite use for these men as laborers,
and everything to dread from them as citi-
zens and voters. Other antagonisms will
be created. West of the Rocky Noun

We have neeG of these men, and yet there
is infinite reason to dread their presence.

1t is pref safe to say that never, since
the terrible crisis Of 1851, has there been
so much anxiety in the minds of the com :

The Farm.

KEEP YOUR ASHES, FOR MANURE The
Aaencda Agrtculturist says: Wood ash
es make one of the most valuable fertilizers
within the reach Of the farmer. The un-
lcached article has the more potash, but
the leached is thought 10 be quite as valu>
able In teaching they shrink a good deal,
and lime is usually added, which increases
their value. They are generally sold, too,
at a less price. Ashes are as we'll suited to
all farm crops, and are very beneficial IN
the truit,yard and orchard. Most farmers
sell wood IN the cities and villages, anu
rather than go home empty they should
carry back ashes and other fertilizers, to re-
PLACE the potash, lime and phosphoric acid
that have been carried off In crops and an
imals sold. Ashes show Immediate effects
from their application, and at the same
time last long in the soil. They are very
highly appreciated in the onion>growlug
districts, but may be applied with equal adj
vantage to ordinary farm crops. They
should be kept as near the surface as pos
sible, spread and narrowed lnto the seed
bed, or applied directly TO The growing
crop Make a business OF saving, buying,
and storing ashes during the winter Tor the
next season : operations.
