Wars OF the Century.

Turning over the annals Of tho sew.
enty years which have elapsed since the
advent OF the nineteenth century, we
are met with the lac, that war has ex-
listed almost continually III some one oi
the civilized nations Oft earth. Thus
a sta'istlcian states that England alone
has waged forly.ninc wars since $500.
Of these, there have heen tlree with
France, two wi'h Russia, fse with
CHINA, two with Denmark. two with
lloilald, two with TM!kcy, Two with
Burmah. two with Persia. one with
the United States, one with Prussia;
one with Spain, one with Sweden, one
with Portugal, and. one with Egypt :;
the o,hsrs were mostly waged in India
New Zealand and Abyssinia. During
the same lime France has engaged in
thlr,y-seven wars. viz: four with Aus.
,ria, three with Russia, three with Prus
sia (inclnding the prcscn, way three
with England, four with the Arab
tribes, two each with Mexico, China.
Spain, Holland, and Turkey, and one
each with Portugal, llayti, Swilzcr
land, Denmark. Sweden. A!giers, Mo.
rocco, Paraguay, Japan, and the Ro
man Rcpnbllc. Russia siows- list Of
t~en,y-one wars Austria twelvc, and
Prussia seven. Al these wars were
wag"d by the leading powers Of The OLD
World, aud do no! include the many
revolutionary movements suppressed n,
an immense expenditure Of blood and
treasure. Among tie half civilized and
barbaric inhabitants of ala and Africa
war has been wagrd without cessation
albeit the victims OF thist erribte scnnrge
have been far less in number ll:an
among more civilized people. On this
Continent. the dread evil has been quite
as often felt In Mexico aud Scutl.
America, there las been constant
succession Of wars. while our own coun.
try has been "dlngctl with fra,crnal
blood, and has been almost inccssan,ly
engaged in wars with tho Indian tribes.
With the human race, therefore,
state of war seems to be tie rule, and
n stale OF peace the exception. When,
if ever, will these conditions be reversed.

SLEEPiNG Flowers. Almost all
flowers sloop during the night. The
marigold goes to bed with the sun,
and with him rises weeping. Many
plants are so sensitive that their
loaves close during the passage Of

OF six Ia tho morning aud shuts at
nine in tho evening. Tho goats
hoad wakes at three in the morning
and shuts at Eve or ak in the evening.
Tho common daisy shuts up its blossnm
in tho evening and opens its "day's.
