The Changes Of : Cenfnrx.

"A uGLie more tlan d 0QnOre0 years
ago, there was not single white man
in what is now Kentucky. Ohio, In
diana and Illinois. Then, what is
now the most fourishing part of the
United States was almost as little
known as the heart of Africa itself.
1t was not till l776 that Boone left
his home in North Carolina to become
the first white settler in Kentucky.
And the first pioneer of Ohio did not
settle there till twenty years later
still.
A little more than one hundred
years ago, Canada belonged to France,
and Washington was Virginia colo
mel, and the United States the most
loyal part of the British empire; and
scarcely speck on the political hor-
izon indicated the struggle that in o
score or more years was to lay the
foundation of the greatest republic
of the world.
Yes, think of it, a century since
there were only four small newspapers
in America; steam engines had not
been imagined; locomotives, and
steamboats,, and railroads, and tele-
graphs, and postal-cards, and friction
machines, and revolvers, and breech-
loading guns, and stoves, and furna-
ces, and gas for lighting dwellings,
and sewing-machines, and reapers,
and mowers, and horse-rakes, and
seed-drills, and steam-plows, and In
dia-rubber shoes, and anthracite
coal, and photographs, and chrome
paintings, and kerosene oil, and the
safety lamp, and the compound blow
pipe, and free schools, and spring
mattresses, and wood engravings, and
Brussels carpets, and lever watches,
and cotton and wooden factories, in
anything like the present meaning Of
these terms, were utterly unknown.
Think Of it, we repeat. A century
ago the spinning wheel was in almost
every family, and clothing was spun
and woven, and made up. in the
household; and the printing press
was q cumbrous machine, worked by
hand; and nail, or brick, or
knife, or pair of shears or scissors,
or razor, or a woven pair of stock
ings, or an axe, or hoe, or shovel, OF
a lock, or key, or bar Of rolled
iron, or a pane of glass Of any size,
was not made in what is now the Unit
ted States. Even in 1890 there were
only seventy-five post-offices in the
country, and the whole extent of ouI
post-reutes was less than nineteen
hundred miles.
Cheap postage was unheard Of. and
had any one suggested the transmits
sion Of messages with lightning
speed, he would have been thought
utterly insane.
Will another century see as many
discoveries and improvements In sci
ence and in the arts, and in the ap
plication Of both to the progress o.
civilization, and. the enterprises o'
business and the comforts of life
We sometimes think we have almos
reached the limit of these wonderful
improvements, but who can say tina
the next century will not witness q
| great advances on the present as tn
present has on the past?

A LONDON LOVE.

The day OF parting has come, dear,
The day we've delayed so long:
But the strings Of my lutte are dumb, dear,
And have lost their trick of song.
have known them the hour together
Run on to the Eghtest theme
The fashions. the parks, or the weather,
A fancy, flower, dream.
When the mirth Of life was maddest,
To my hand they would leap and bound:
And when darkest my mood and saddest,
Would whisper their softest sound.
Whenever the day was breezy,
Whenever the mad moon shone,
Rhyme-spinuing was just as easy
Asloving and passing on.
