The Last Decade.
From Harper's Magazine for January.

From Harpers Magazine for January.
With the 31st of December, 1870,
closes decade of years that can be
said, without exaggeration, to stand
unrivaled Gin the known account OF
time" with respect to the Importance
of the events that make up the sum OF
its history. There is tendency in the
human mind that leads men to con-
slider their own time to be the most i'm
portant of ali time, and though they
are right in holding such time to be
the greatest of ali days and years to
their lives, yet it is certain that the
real interest of history is concentrated
around some few periods, during which
events take place that forever after col
or and control the worlds course Such
periods were the decade of years that
began with the crossing of the Rubicon
by Caesar (B. G. 50-40;) the decade in
which occurred the fall Of the kingdom
of Granada, the dicovery Of America,
the first voyage to India by the Cape of
Good Hope, the intermarriage of the
royal houses of Austria and Spain, and
the invasion of Italy by the French
G490-150O; the decade that began
with the meeting of the Long Parlia-
ment 1640-1650); the decade that fol-
lowed the passage of the Stamp Act
Q765-1775); and that which followed
the last meeting of the States General
of France Q789-1799). All these pc
RODS We're full Of events great in them
selves, and greater in their conse-
quences; and yet the most striking of
them all-that with which the fifteenth
century closed-was not so rich in
events as the decade that is Just being
added to the sum Of departed time.
There is hardly any thing that can
move the sympathies of men, or excite
their wonder, that has not occurred
since the beginning of the year 1861.
Mighty empires have been overthrown,
old dynasties have fallen, great interests
have been uprooted, the most ancient of
temporal politics has ceased to exist,
new nations have been created, wars of
unparalleled proportions have been
waged with new weapons and on new
military principles, continental rail
ways have been laid down, obstacles to
maritime commerce have been cut
through or removed, remote nations
have been brought into daily inter
course through telegraphic cables that
lie at the bottom of seas over which
men once were afraid to sail, and great
discoveries and inventions in science
aud in art have added vastly to the
means at man S command to reclaim
that earth over which he has the prom
ise of dominion on condition that his
exertions shall show him worthy of
such supremacy. To match the sew
enth decade of our century, it is proba-
BILE that we should have to take the
greatest of modern centuries, even the
sixteenth, to which belongs the Refor-
