Z. toLDC AGE Akb YOUTH

In the course of his after-dinner
speech at the late commencement OF
Williams College, the venerable poet
William Cullen Bryant drew this
beautiful, yet sad, contrast between
old age and youth as typified IN him
self and the young men about him:
1t has occurred to me, since L, in
the decline of life; came to visit once
more. this seat of learning. in which
our youths are trained to succeed us
on the stage of the world, that z am
in the situation Of one who, standing
on a spot desoiate with winter and
dim with twilight, should be permit
ted by o sort Of miracle to look upon
neighboring region glorious with
the bloom of spring and bright with
the beams of morning. On the side
where stand are lherblessi fields and
leafiess woods, pools sheeted with ice,
a frozen soil, and the shadows of ap-
proaching night.a A0n the side To-
" AOOh diO ulGdQOWS.
fields Of springing wheat, orchards in
bloom, transparent streams, and a ge--
nial sunshine! With me, it is too late
for any further hopeful tillage, and if
the plough were put into the ground
its culture would be obstrueted by the
ice-bound sods. On the side to which
I look I see the tokens of judicieusg
cultivation and careful attendance, re-
compensed by q free and promising
growth. Lrejoice at the kindly care
thus J bestowed, and my hope and
prayer is, thatsunder such auspices all
the promise which meets my eye may
be amply fulfilled, and that from these
luxuriant fields harvest may be
gathered richer and more abundant
than has ever yet been stored in the
granaries of our land.

& 5iosE nusDEED YEARS AGO.

One hundred and ten years ago
there;was not a single white man in
Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
Then, what's now the most flourish.
ing part of America, was as little
known as the country around the
mountains of the moon. 1t was not
until 1857 that Boone left his home in
North Carolina, to become the first
settler of Kentucky. The first pio-
neers of Ohio did not settle until
twenty Years after this time. A hund-
red years ago Canada belonged I to
France, and the whole population did
not exceed a million and a half, of
people. "A hundred years ago, the
great Frederick of Prussia was per-
forming those great exploits which
have made him immortal in military
annals, and with his little monarchy
was sustaining sipgle-handed con-
test with Russia, Austria and France,
the three great powers of Europe
SOnADAhOu' n huAuACu ears saSO Ma
poleon was not. born, and Washing
ton was modest Virginia colonel,
and the great events in the history of
the two worlds, 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 Brit
ish empire, and on the political hoFi-
zon no speck indicated the struggle
which within a score of yerrs thereaf-
ter estabhshed the great Republic of
world. A hundred years ago, there
were but -four, newspapers in Ameri-
ca. Steam engines had not been i'm
aginedS and railroads and. telegraphs,
had not entered into the. remotest
conception of man. When we come
to look fAclq through the vista of his
tory, we find that the century passed
has been fnH of more important events
in their bearing upon the happiness of
the world, than almost any other that
has elapsed since the creation. "f

HINTS TO HoEsEKEEPERs.-Th fol
lowing are a few valuable household
hints which are worth preserving:
Save y youro soapsadsJ for garden
plants, or for garden yards, when
sandy. = 'iii1siI
Wash your tea trays with cold suds,
polish with little -four, and rub with
a dry cloth. ssrgxr4r ~
Frozen potatoes make more starch
than fresh ones; they also make nice
cakes.
A hot shovel held over vanished
furniture will take out white spots.
A bit of glue dissolved in milk and
water will restore old Grape.
& Always mend clothes before wash
ing them.
- QUEsTIoNs.-Young man, didn't
you think just as much ofyour loving
mother when she was preparing your
breakfast in the Kitchen; as when fshe
was dusting the parlor? Young wo-
man, was your kind mother any less
your mother when she was washing
your clothes or your face than when
she was receiving company in the par
lor?
Are you any less lady when doing
acts of household duties than. when
amusing yourself in company? If you
say may" then let me ask you, are you
despising and depressing those who
are engaged in more. useful employ
ment than others? Do you see that
point?

Al II AGAIN.-There. seems to be a
sort of desperat, determination on the
part of some of our burglars to clean
out the gtocery store belonging to Viii.
liam Caldwell, on Quincy street, at the
foot of Byron. "Three times and out, y
is the adage ordinarily, but three times
and in again these rascals seem to say.
On Sunday morning just after midnight
a son of Mr.. Caldwell's, who has been
sleeping in the store since the last raid,
was awakened from his sleep by the
barking of his dog. He got up and lis
tened, and heard men talking outside,
but they made no demonstration,
and ne went to sleep again,
About four o'clock in the
morning the dog walked him again, and
taking a doubled arreled shot gun in his
hand he went to the back door and heard
the burglars at work on the outer doors,
boring their way in. Opening the outer
doors, and aiming his gun at the point
he judged,the men were at work, he fired.
1t is not known whether he hit any of
them or not. They did not bother him
again that night, anyhow. An examin-
alton of the door, yesterday morning,
showed that every one of the shot had
gone through the door, and it may be
the rascals got their hides full of the
shot. Let us hope so.

DooRs.-Some profound newspaper
writer eliminates the community with
the following sage words of counsel :
"Now, in December, when You 20 into
a neighbours premises, be sure to leave
the doors as you find than. If you find
door shut, yon may reasonably sap
pose that your friend wanted it shut,
and therefore you have nc right to leave
it open; and if you find it open, no
matter how cold the weather is. you
leave it open, for II is reasonable 10 sup.
pose that it was left open for some good
purpose" ET-.

misunderstanding to the calen-
dar Of Romulus, December was the
nth month, as the word implied, but
by the Julian calendar it was the
twelfth month. Among tho Romans
this month was devoted to various fes-
rivals. On the fifth they kept the Fan
malta; o. the seventeenth the Saturnia;
on the twenty-second the Lsraria; and
on the last the Juveniles Ludi. The
peasants also kept the feast of the god
dess Vacuna, after having got in their
fruits and sown their corn. During
this time all the orders of the oommu-
nifty were devoted to mirth aud festiv-
ity. Masters and slaves were all on an
equal footing. Friends sent presents
to one another and feasted together at
the same table. The schools kept o
vacation, and nothing was to be seen in
the city but mirth and freedom.
December wasrepresented by the an
clients as an old man, with a serene and
fearful countenanae, clothed in coarse
frieze rug, grit upon him; his hands en-
cased in fur gloves, and holding hatch
ct, emblematical of the season, it being
the time for telling timber. Instead OF
his head surrounded by garland, it ap.
peared to be wrapped in three or four
nightcaps, with Turkish turban over
them; his mouth and beard were clogged
with icicles, and at his back was bun
die of ivy, holly and missletoe, and at
his side the sign Capricornus, the goat,
symbolic of the sun entering that cor
stellation on the 2lst.

IMPROVED CoFFINs.-Fashion has is
sued its decree that the old style of
collins shall no longer be used. The
new pattern combines a number of i'm
provements, of which the following de-
scription is given: The new coffin is a
cabinet shaped like a square box with
the corners sawed off and strips nailed
Oh. There is also an improved lid fas-
tening, which obviates the trouble of
screws, the top being slipped over bolts
received into grooves made for their ao-
commodation, the whole being secured
by single pin.

ATTEMTED BURGLARY.-Somo burglar
attempted to gain On entrance into the
residence of Jesse S. Wheat, South
Wheeling, on Sunday last about mid.
night. The fellow made his first
attempt on the front window, and after
raising it found that an inner shutter
barred further progress in that dirsc-
ton. He then moved his base to the
side window, and with Jimmy near
ly prised off the inner fastening of the
window, when the noise awakened Mrs.
Wheat, who alarmed the burglar. He
made himself scarce with most admira-
bic velocity.
