Now and Then.

One hundred years ago not a pound of coal
nor cubic foot of Illuminating gas had been
burned in this country. No iron stoves were
used, and no contrivances for economizing heat
were employed until DR.. Franklin invented
the iron framed fireplace which still bears Ills
name. All the cooking and warming in
town, as well as in the country, was done by
the aid ola fire kindled on the brick hearth
or in the brick ovens. Pine knots or tallow
candles furnished the light for the long win.
ter nights, and sanded floors supplied the
place OF rugs and carpets. The water used
for household purposes was drawn from deep
wells with creaking sweeps No form of
pump was used in this country so far as we
can learn, until the commencement of the
present century. There were no friction
matches in those days, by the aid of which
fire could be easily kindled, and If the fire
went out upon the hearth over night and the
finder was damp, 80 that the sparks would
not catch, the alternative remained of wad-
ing through the snow mile or 30 10 borrow
brand ola neighbor. Only one room in
any house was warm unless some member of
the family was ILL., In all the rest the tenn
perature was at zero during many nights In
the winter. The men and women of one
hundred years ago went to bed in tempera-
ture colder than that of barns and woodsheds,
and they never complained.

THE Ex AMPLE.

Happy along life's weary ways,
Thick set with uncongenia tasks,
Some overweighted toiler stays
His hands from labor, while he asks:
Wherefore shall these burdens bear
That others ought, at least, to share?
II sinco the days march was begun,
Have spent my strength, nor turned aside
From any service to be done,
Nor grudged my pleasure, self-denied;
Yea, have even counted gain,
For the works sake, my loss and pain.
but now my soul is vexed for why
should duty have no law for these
VINO with averted looks PISS by, '
Or sit with folded hands at ease?
Why should suffer more than they
The heat and burden of the day."
How many a spirit frettei sore
With the worlds cold indifference,
Has turned such questions DER and DER,
Still haunted with the restless sense
or doubt, and wondering distrust;
Would these things be If God were just?
All me! the ways of God with men.
NO man that lives can find them out;
VINO grasps at things beyond his ken,
Is tossed on shoreless seas about.
Yet in the thickest of the night,
Foreyes that see there shall be light
What time we nurse our discomfort
Rather, instead should we recall
How once in servants guise He went
who was the Master of us all;
Nor any work whereby W ught
The Fathers will. too irk thought.
Need any be disquieted
whose hearts this memory enclose P
who follows where the Lord has led,
What matter is it where he goes?
For working with Him side by side,
The meanest task is glorifed.

A Canary's Four Notes.

In the song of the canary four notes are
recognized by dealers, and they can tell by
listening to it for few minutes whether the
birds is German or American. They are the
water note, which is ripping, attractive
bit of warbling like the murmur of a rill !:
flute note, clear and ringing; the whistline
note OF the same class, but very much finer.
and the rolling note, which Is a continuous
melody, rising and falling only to rise again.
1t Is in the last named note that the American
bird fail. They cannot hold 1t. Another
difference between the two is that German
canaries are night singers. They will sing un.
