FORTY YEARS Aao.-Forty years ago, lit
erature meant reading, and was support.
ed by common sense. Refined nonsense had
no advocates, and was pretty generally kicked
out Of doors
Forty years ago there we're but few
merchants in the country, or insolveus
debtors and they were rarely imprisoned fol-
debt
Forty years ago. young ladies of the first
respectability learned music, but it was the
music OF the spinning wheel, and learned the
necessary steps of dancing in following it
Their piano forte which was a loom, their
parasol broom, and their novels Bible
Forty years ago, the young gentlemen ho-
ed corn, chopped wood at the door, and went
to school N the winter to learn reading, writ
ing and ariis,hmetio.
Forty years ago. tt,.,ere were no such things
as balls in the summer, ana few II the win
ter, except snow balls
Forty years ago, if a mechanic proposeo, 70
do your work, you might rely on his word !;
it would be done.
Forty years ago, when mechanic finished
his work. he was paid for it.
Forty years ago, printers were paid and
were therefore able to pay their debts.
