led Galvani to originate the science which
embalms his name, and which how, like
Puck, puts girdle round the earth IN
forty minutes. 1t was seventeen years
afterward when Werner published those
ideas on qualification which gave birth to
Geology.
1770. One year before, Arkwright had
invented the spinning jenny,-a contriv-
ance surprising the hand-wheel as much as
the sewing machine surpasses the hand
needle, but which has itself been improved
every year since 1t was twenty-three
wears afterward when Whitney devised
the cotton gin, without which the jenney
would have lain idle half the time for lack
of cotton to spin.
1910. One year before, and when
Fulton was four years old, Watt had
obtained his first patent for the steam
enqiae, which has done more for England
than all the treaties she ever made and all
the battles she ever fought. 1T was
eighteen years afterward when Darwin
uttered the poetieal prophecy
!" Soon shall thine arm, unconquered Steaml
affair."
Drag the slow barge or drive the rapid car
prediction not fulfilled till the first
passenger railway was completed fifty five
| years after.
Two years after ITO, Bridgewater, the
originator of the canal-system, died in full
faith that the chief end for which rivers
were created was to feed canals, and that
canals could never be superseded.
ITO. Forty-four years more were to
roll on before the first issue by steam Of
the London Times,-a thunderer whose
peals the newspaper press the world over
has always been proud either to echo or
to counterblast. ITO. The death of
Whitefeld befell on the fifth day before
that which we keep as the birthday of
Rutland, aud the death Of Benning Went
worth, the Nav Hampshire Governor who
chartered it, was on the sixteenth day af-
ter. Up to this time no Bible had ever
been printed in America. That very
year the first missionary was sent to Lab
rador by M oravians, but none went abroad
from non-Moravian England till 1898, nor
from the United States till nineteen years
later-18I2.
1910. Though Berkeley had four and
forty years before sung in poetic rapture,
Westward the course Of empire takes its
way
the thirteen colonies had then no more
than nine institutions which had even the
name of colleges, and New England only
four-one of those, Dartmouth, bern that
same wear and still an Indian school
ITO was dark year for America
Then martial law was declared in Massa-
chusetts, Then its royal governor offered
G100 for the name of the author Of pas
quinade on the royal judges, posted on
Boston town-house. Ihen-on the 9th of
March-was the Boston massacre, de
scribed in all sermons as the blood Of In-I
nocence crying from the ground. Then
the liberty-p lie was cut down in New
York by red-coats. Then tyranncal tax
alton drove to non-1portaton, tea-total-
lers gave up tea, 'as sea-tot,lers give upI
everything in heaye offerings. and all the
Harvard and Princeton graduates We're
dressed in homespun. The commence
ment themes at Princeton were "Non-im-
portation the glory Of America. TheI
right to resist bad king" "AII men by
nature free" Thu air was full of rumors
about France and Spain combining
against England, and myrIads were long
ing to see their stepmother fall INTO such a
necessity as would prove their opportuni-
ty. Such was ITO.
What is 1870 ? That truly is a blind
mans question, Ike asking, ''Why does
beautv please us The answer ought to|
be that epitaph of Sir Christopher Wren
which we read beneath the dome radiat-
ing toward every quarter Of the earth and
directing Its convergent curves to heaven,
which he had reared so broad and high
as to transcend all others save the mira
