How THE BoYs HoED THE CoRN.-Colo- nel w. H. Sparks, who lived to ripe old age, and who was raised on Putnam farm, and who was something of an author be- fore his death, used to tell upon the streets of Eatonton, that in his boyhood days the old man was wont to give the boys task for Saturday, says the Eatonton Chronicle One Saturday Billy and Garrett were hoe ing, when the father passed along and said "Boys, see that stump yonder ?'' ''Yes, sir," was the response. "Well, I give you task after it is fni.hed you can have holiday, and go fishing, or any thing else, as you may like. Do your work well and hoe to that stump" Billy and his brother thought the task was too much and that by hard work 1t would take till near sun-down to reach it. After a while one of the boys surveyed the ground and walked up to the stump. At once he discovered that the roots were loose. He reported to the other. The two decided at once to finish the task and have the evening. They pulled up the stump and moved it nearer by-hoed rapidly, finish ed the task by dinner, and went fishing in the evening. The old man thought it was tremendous days work done in half day.

HOW WE LIVED FORTY YEARS AGO.

To go back forty years, fully as useful a contrast and as instructive comparison may be made as to bring the early settlers from England, Holland, and France in op- position to their descendants of two hun- dred years later. In 1S43 and for some period thence onward, nancy, as currency, was scarce.ss Possibly general business sui fered for want of the medium of exchange. Money, in bills or coin, had 8 value that would be looked upon now as almost worshiping of 8 fetich. 'One dollar a day. was ia good days pay, and so 1t was considered even for fairly skillful la- Dor. Several men, for instance, were em- ployed in squaring, by chalk line and broad ax, the round timbers to form the framing of dam. Others bored the holes for mortises and chiseled them out Oth- CTS did the ''scribing," the saving, and dressing of the tenons. Few of them got over one and a quarter dollars per day, ''from sunup to sundown." The man who could ''scribe," and who laid out the job. got perhaps one dollar and fifty cents. The machinist got from one dollar and fifty to two dollars per day; and he who got the two dollars was 8 fortunate man and for that time he was competent man. La- borers had fifty cents per day, and in hay ing time, when several days ordinary work must be crowded into twelve, fourteen, o1 possibly sixteen hours, they got seventy five cents. Special workmen, apt at any jobs, one dollar.
 Now this is fair showing of the value of labor forty years ago. What was the relative value of housing, fuel, food, and clothing? Rents were low. A good house for the time cost from $24 to $40 per year. Fuel-wood-wa somewhat less than Ii can be furnished, as coal now, at any place remote from the mines say for an ordl- nary family six cords of hickory, $24; now four tons of coal (two fres), about equal. Food cost less forty years ago than now but it was not the same food. Fresh meat once, or at most twice, 8 week, and rarely that except in "the killing season." fish caught at the stream or pond, or hawked about at four cents pound dressed. Veg. etables from the garden, or from the mark ct at twenty five cents bushel for pota toes and less prices for turnips. Onions almost as dear as now, and cabbages nc cheaper. Clothing can be bought cheap. CT now than 1t could be forty years ago. and it is cheaper ill more than one sense. Perhaps 1t would be better for the country at large if better clothing at higher prices should be the rule.
 It is scarcely necessary to add to Show we lived forty years ago. any statement ot how we live or how we might live now. II is enough to the present eaner of his bread by labor to know of the annoyances and lack of opportunities of his predecessor. A glance over the condition of forty years ago and the present condition will con- vince any unprejudiced mind that an i'm provement has been made in the condition of our workers, and that the worker of to- day gets better return for his labor than he did forty years ago. And this state ment applies as nearly to the unskilled that the advantage now, as ever before, holds with the intelligent, skilled, experi- enced mechanic.

THROUGH THE WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS.

The boat which was built for an expert mental trip through the Whirlpool Rapids at Niagara was sent on her perilous journ ey last Thursday afternoon. There were about 50, 900 spectators, excursion parties having come from various points in the United States and Canada.
 The work upon 1t was strongly done When decorated with flags and evergreens she made good appearance. Her length over all is fifty-two feet, her beam sixteen and her hold eight.
 Soon after o'clock the vessel was lowed out from the old Maid of the Mist landing one and one-fourth miles above the whirl- pool. Some difficulty was experienced in giving her start. Before getting into the current she came into collision with a rock on the American side and lost col- pie of boards above the waterline. After getting headed down stream the jaunty craft soon attained an astonishing rate of speed. She passed under the old railway suspension bridge in good style, but was whirled stern foremost soon afterward on a tremendous wave. Several revolutions were made before the maelstrom,w was reach ed, but never for a moment while in the rapids did the vessel seem in danger of going to pieces or in danger of being en- gulfed.
 The vessel was headed up stream when she arrived at the whirlpool On entering two revolutions were made in twinkling, and then then the boat shot swiftly to the Canada side, going so far as to be out of power of the circling waves. I4 looked for time as if the vessel would be kept hedged in by the maelstrom. Her revolutions were slow and she was in sight of the mul- titude all the time The water dashed and roared and whirled, seemingly with fury enough to destroy any object coming with in the dreadful circle. Finally a number of venturesome spectators climbed down the ledge of rock on the Canada side and by means of poles pushed the boat off: Then she was taken into the channels and literally hurled through the water to the open river beyond.
 The time occupied was thirty minutes, seventeen being consumed in shooting the rapids and thirteen at the edge of the whirlpool.
 The vessel went rapidly with the cur rent to Lewiston where she was boarded and examined. She was found to be prac- tically uniniured. Several effgies were sent over the course after her, some of which did not come out of the whirlpool, while others made the trip in quick time.
