social circle was less restrained by
custom, and the rules of etiquette
less technical and exacting, there
fore greater the flow of generous
feeling, less restrained, and life more
enjoyable. 1t is also claimed there
was once less Of caste and distinc-
ton of rank, which modern artificial
rules of society impose. The in
creasing prevalence of caste is a dis
turbing element: many worthy fami-
lies fall into the second rank, who
really should have no rank above
them. The accident of wealth and
position in too many instances draws
a dividing line. It is too common
for only moderately rich families to
avoid afhliation with those known in
the community to be poor; they may
recognize them in the general rela-
tons of life, but in the social circle
they are ignored. Families who
maintain a good record for respect
ability find themselves sighted for
the reason only that they are count
ed of the poorer classes. These feel
keenly their condition in this age,
where money is too often the pass
port to what is called "good society,""
These are some of the reasons sug-
gested why this is an age of unrest
contrasted with years long ago.

New States.

THE new states of the North
west, are completing their prepara-
tions for admission into the family
Of States. One thing noticeable in
the constructions of the projected
states, so far as they have been
formulated is progress. There will
be marked advance in the science
of government in the new states,
applying for admission, over those
which came into the Union years
ago. This much is reasonably ex-
pected, with the experience of the
past, the people have profted, and
much has been learned of which
advantage can be taken. 1t has
been wisely said, that there is the
same danger of expressing too much
in state constitution, as too little
that ought to said. What are held
to be fundamental rights, and rights
inalienable, will always be recogniz-
ed in the constitutions of free gov
ernments, but much is embodied in
constitutions, which should be left
to legislative actions. Legislatures
have sometimes found themselves
circumscribed by constitutional linn
itations, from doing what the pub
lie good requires. There is a fair
prospect that majority, if not all
of the new states, will politically
be Republican which will strengthen
the majority in Congress.

The Only Way to Become
Capitalist.

| SOMEBODY must have money; and
the people who save it will be the cap
italists, and they will control the organ
ization Of industry and receive the lar
ger share Of the profits. If the work
ing men will save their money they
may be not only sbarers of profits, but
owners Of stock and receivers of divi-
dends. And the workmen can save
their money, if they will. It is the on
ly way in which they can permanently
and surely improve their condition.
Legislative reforms, improved indus
trial methods, may make the way easier
for them, but there is no road to COM
fort and indep endence, after all, bu
the plain, old path of steady work and
sober saving. If the working people
Of this country would save, for the
next five years. the money that they
spend on beer and tobacco and base
ball, they could control pretty large
share of the capital employed in the
industries by which they get their liv-
ing; and they could turn the dividends
of this capital from the pockets of the
money-lenders into their own. There
is no other way Of checking the conges-
ton of wealth and of promoting its
diffusion, SO expeditions, so certain,
and 50 benefcent as this; I wish the
working people would try id Wash
tngtou GAadAen in the SEP. Forum.

Is This An Age of Unrest?

1t has been said that the present
age is peculiarly one of unrest, dis
appointment and dependency. This
statement cannot easily be proven; it
can only be inferred by those who in
years past have taken observations.
Are there marked differences in the
enjoyments of life from a quarter of
a century ago? Is there the same
buoyancy of spirits, the same amount
of cheerfulness and content, the
same freedom from harassing care
as years ago? 1t may be taken for
granted that in some conditions of
life there have been changes. The
passion for quick success has been
on the increase; men are not con-
tent to achieve success in the natural
order of business, but take risks to
reach the ends of their ambition by
shorter and hazardous methods. The
roll of those who "make haste to be
rich," is growing larger, and conse-
quently the calamity of disaster fall
ing on such is correspondingly large.
There is much every day to rufae
the temper and try the patience in
the general scramble for gain.
There is haste here, haste there,
haste everywhere: anxiety and over
exertion even in hours devoted to
pleasure. There is no such thing as
placidity with many men, but little
calm enjoyment of anything. Where
hopes and expectations are constant
ly melting to action, and are fol-
lowed in quick succession by disap-
pointments, the mind naturally be-
comes melted to acts of rashness;
low spirits are apt to succeed sud-
denly blasted expectations. After a
series of failures there comes des-
pondency and the victim of disap-
pointments asks himself the danger
Gus question, "Does it pay to live -
The increasing number of suicides
which of late have been occurring,
gives the answer to the question.
So commonplace have these items of
news become, that they cease to ex-
cite special interest, unless the de-
luded victim be person of more
than ordinary Importance. Excess
is the tendency of the times: excess
is liable to disastrous ending.
Have these things always been so?
Long observation from earlier times
arrives at the conclusion that there
was years ago less excitability, more
evenness of temper and composed
ness; that the average of society was
formerly more joyous, more confd-
ing and happy. 1t is believed the

Notwithstanding the sodden condition
of the soil some planting is going on, and
as general thing, in this section, the
corn will be planted without previous
breaking of the ground.
A building boom is now growing to fair
proportions in this place, and some six or
seven large stone and brick houses will be
erected as soon as the weather will
permit.
Peach and plum trees are rapidly
coming into bloom, and the destruction
of the fruit crop by belated frost is
