and I stayed that night at my father-in-
laws, and the next day ne had another
big time, and my wife stayed that night
at her father.in-law's, and that was the
infare, and we never took no train for
nowhere, for ! had work to do, and so We
just lived back and forth, among the old
folks until We were able to build 2.room
house and set up for ourselves family
fashion.
I was Illuminating about these beautiful
wedding presents, these silver forks and
spoons by the gross and silver tea service
and other silvery things, and how they
may possibly come into service sure
enough and to be very handy sometime il
the wolf eve. comes to the door, or it ne
should have another war and the curren-
cy get worthless like it did in tho last. l
remember when some Of our best people
had to slip round on the sly and sell
few spoons or few forks to get something
to live on. One time / gave broken
down man $1,000 for half dozen old
time honored table spooDs that had been
in his family for four generations and
kept as family relic. 1t hurt him bad
to part with them and so after the var
was over gave them baca to him and
thanked him for using that much of my
worthless money. Silver things are very
beautiful to look at, but Solomon says:
"He that loveth silver shall not be salts
fed with silver" On the whole, I don't
know that there Is much difference be-
tween these silver wedding presents and
the kind that we got when ne mar-
ried. Ours were black and tan color, and
could walk about and didn't have to be
kept under lock and key, but they eat up
and wore out power Of vittels and
clothes, and / never could make the &C.
count balance until the war was over
with an exception thsy were an expense
and a care, and gave us trouble. Of
course I don't count Tip, for Tip was
never our slave, but was our friend. Tip
grew up with the children and was one Of
them. Tip was my trusted, confidential
servant. No, don't think there is much
difference between the presents now and
the presents then. One gave us the love
of dominion and the other givss us tie
love of chow. Then let the procession
proceed, the procession of marriages sid
births and deaths, snd if we can't all
be happy let us be as happy as ne can.

In Twenty Years.

To the citizen of the Old World,
who is ObSeryant on his travels in the
United States, this is a country where
development is marvelously rapid.
In Europe, a family, town or a city
which cannot trace its history back
more than two hundred and fifty
years is as hard to be found as black
swan. Old towns have grown, but
new ones have not been founded.
Sixty millions more of people are here
than hundred and fifteen years ago.
But if the development of a hundred
or two hundred years seems wonder
full to the European, what shall we
say Of the material prigress of the last
twenty years? A single illustration
is enough. Twenty years ago this
week, Chicago suffered an unparalleled
loss by fire. The business distict was
destroyed and thousands of people
left shelterless in the streets. What
is Chicago now? The second city of
the United States. What were the
states west Of the Mississippi twenty
years ago? What they are now can
best be ascertained by taking a trip
over the Burlington system of roads,
which reaches all important places in
ten Western and Northern States.
