"The Good Old Days. -

An cd in Massachusetts,, 70 years
of age, furnishes to the Springfield Re
pu6{icul q sketch of the fashions and
mannes sixty years ago, and the
changes which they have undergone In
that tine. To many they will be famil-
lar, but to large numbers seem like the
story Of a strange land and unknown
people. His father was a miller, and
earned less than 81 day, on which he
was obliged to support twelve children.
He had 10 go to jail for debt, while the
son went fishing to keep the family from
starving. The school-house cost S10Oto
5000. In the same place stands S25,-
600 school, with teachers receiving four
or five times the amount of salary. The
school children then had to make their
manners when the elders passed by;
now the children "will insult or swear
at you. and if you get by without a
missile at you or your horse You are
lucky"
"Chester W. Chaplin, one of the
wealthiest men in Massachusetts,, at 21
years Of age, hired himself out for Sl2 a
month. Now you would insult strip
ling OF lS TO offer him such wages. Peo-
pie used TO hide upstairs or down liar
when thew saw the Tax Collector COM
ing. and he would often have to hunt
them out of their holes, even when the
family said " they were not at home. )"
There was great deal of music at home
in those days--'' for treble, the fax spin
ning-wheel played or run by one of the
girls: for the tenor, the large spinning
wheel PLAYED by another girl; for bass,
the old lady whacking away at the old
loom. all working to make their music
profitable and healthy"
The old gentleman does not believe in
progress" Then, families of ten
children. Gl taught to work, were the
fashion. instead of two or three little
pimpinss children and a sickly mother
not as vel able to take care of them as
the mothers of that day were, of ten
without hired girl. 1.-THE children
now must be in fashion-lie in bed un-
til or IN the morning-no appetite,
little vitality. They play on some kind
of instrument, and go to school to be
crowded with more kinds of lessons
than our old school-teachers ever knew.
But this Is the fashion and pretend
ed improvement of this age. Perhaps
this generation does not look at these
things as lido, but I think that health,
economy and morality are not improved
by getting high wages or a fashionable
education"
The rising generation are spendthrifts,
he says, waiting for the old people to
get out OF the way so that they can lay
hold OF then money. "Old men, keep
the corn-cnb locked - he cries.
When the fare by stage between
Springfield and Boston was reduced to
s., it took man two weeks to earn
enough Tor that journey, which con-
sumed seventeen hours. Now a man
can easily earn enough in day for the
three hours trip. News from Washing
ton and boston only once a week-a
great treat. Well, says the old man,
must soon step off and let this fast gen.
GRAFTON run the thing, and. if they don't
run themselves to the devil, we shall be
thankful.

astle-building Is generallya harmless
way OF wasting time, bringing no other
perils than a loss of will-power and the
consequent enervatiOn of character.
Prof. Wilson, the famous " Kit North, 3"
of Scotland. dearly loved long reverie
before bedtime. One night the habit
almost proved fatal to life. While edit
ing BIackUood'S -HGgazi1e he often
worked till the small hours of the morn
ing, and then, for fear of disturbing his
wife, threw himself ON a lounge in his
study, and slept till breakfast.
A friend had persuaded him to intro
duce gas, just then coming into use in
Edinburgh, and the professor found it
wonderful lIuminator during his long
n ght tolls. But one night, after finish
ing his writing, he seated himself before
the fire place for long reverie. Castle
after castle was built, dream plans fol-
lowed each other IN quick succession,
till suddenly he discovered that the fire
was low, and he was shivering.
Half rousing himself, but still lost in
his dreams, he blew out the gas, and
threw himself on his lounge. In an hour
he woke, nearly suffocated, and found
the study filed with pungent odor,
and an atmosphere hard to breathe. He
threw up the windows, turned off the
gas and rushed out of doors. The next
morning the gas-pipes were torn up
they were dangerous convenlences for
one of his habits.
