frequent Indian wars, but this settlement
was not again devastated, and by that time
the population had increased to nearly four
thousand, and our people were too numerous
for hostile savageS to approach.
But when were the good old times which
people talk about, Mr.. Newbegin?
am afraid they were mythical, my dear.
The condition of the world has always been
improving. Our ancestors came hither on ac
count of hard times in the old country. Here
they had constant struggle with privation
and a savage foe for nearly a century and
half then came the Revolutionary war, its
hardships and suffering, wounds and death
for those who fought. and privation for their
families at home; the burning of the town
by Mowatt's fleet, and the reputation of the
national currency There were a few pros
porous years at the beginning of this centu-
~, as all years of imitation seem to be, then
came the embargo, general bankruptcy and
the war of 1872. After 1920 the people began
to prosper again, and have continually i'm
proved to the present time, except during
occasional depressions of business, which
must always come.
To-day our citizens are living easier and
are more comfortable and happy than their
ancestors have ever been since the world be-
gan and even the poor among us have most
ly come from countries where poverty was
more distressing.
When these fields at our feet shall all be
built upon and the city shall stretch away to
the westward with lines of electric street
cars taking people to and from the busy
lower town, your grandchildren, my dear,
will look back upon our queer old-fashiOned
way of living with tender sympathy for the
privatiOnS which we now endure.
But the sun is down and the rich foliage
begins to grow dark. A few bright stars
begin to show in the east and overhead, so
we stroll along the promenade, wondering
why the authorities have stopped horse-trot-
ting, which drivers and spectators all enjoyed,
and musing upon the disgust which the next
generation will feel at finding that we have
left them the noble Soldiers Monument
down town in a dusty square, instead of
placing it upon the stately hill where it
would be thing of beauty and a joy for
ever
