FIFTY YEARS 400,


Does IL ever occur TO the reader, that
great changes have taken place In the last
half score years2 lie doubtless knows that
ceaseless change, In some form, is one of
tho eternal laws. Nay, he has noticed the
action OF this inexorable law, IN his own
affairs; aud he reads of changes more or
less wonderful, in other lands These
changes arc not only, now, all the wilhelm
operation, but they will continue TO occur
until he shall be summoned to undergo
the, to him, final, earthly change. What
the law is, IN this regard, beyond the grave,
none have returned from the spirit land to
satisfy us, nor is any body, on earth, able,
positively 3, say. One persons judgment
may fairly be claimed as good as another's s,
but the wisest Of US can, really, only guess.
Our ideas Of the requisites to perfect hap
piness, suggest constant development Of the
mental and moral faculties, and steady nd
vancemcnt, in enjoyment, from sphere to
sphere. How ii will be in the state of end
less agony, admitting what Ingersoll denies,
we can only surmise. There is, seemingly,
no need Of growth; nor can there be any
process Of decay. That ceaseless misery
will constantly become more intense, we
cannot conceive; but, II it would, the pun
ishment might be no harder to bear.
In this lower world, changes may be, at
any point, within the range oil from good
to best, and bad to worst. Some OF us
have experienced these changes, either TO
our more or less profound Joy or grief How
near they came, and how largely they at
fected our career Perhaps the design was
to teach some wholesome lesson; and, ii so,
happy IL we learned il we'll. Sometimes
" line upon line, and precept upon preccpt,"
are necessary, before .he lesson is thorough
ly learned. But, ii to teach the lesson well,
was the design, there will be no lack of
instruction, we will find. Bitter il the
school of experience, yet its teaching is
often needed, and it is thorough and com.
plete. How regular and similar are the
operations OF the great law OF change! The
honely seed falls upon the prepared ground;
IL takes root and sends up stalk, that
flowers and bears fruit: this fruit, at first
green and unpalatable, becomes ripe and
delicious; then it bursts, freeing the seed,
which falls to the earth, in turn to sprout,
grow and die. Man is born, developes,
natures decays, sickens and dies. How
few words record all that is important in
the biography of the greatest OF the race
But wish to speak of changes in mate.
rial things--in the street, in the yard, in
the house and its several rooms. / mean
not the changes OF deterioration and re-
newnl, but of invention and improvement
changes in material and form and use
the substitution of one thing for another,
resulting in less cost or greater convenience
and worth. And with the editors kind
permission, the next article of this series,
will speak more particularly OF some OF
these things

It does not sound well 10 foreign ears, to
those who are striving 10 throw off the
yoke OF oppression and initiate the Repub-
lie, to hear that we have fifteen contested
election cases to settle at single session, that
of our present Congress- If keeps on at this
rate the'contestants will have majority in
the House. But every one Of these comes UP
from the Solid Bourbon districts of the
South. Four from South Carolina, four
from Alabama,tw from Virginia two from
Mississippi, one from Louisiana, one
from Missouri, and one from Flo
ida. The grounds OF contestants are
based upon false counting, bulldozing and
ballpt-box stufiing. The evidence, ,as shown
in several cases, ia said to be so fragrant
that the elections will be set aside. The
reproof connot be too rigidly administered
to men who seek Office through the agency
of fraud in any form.
