There was time to live.
Men slept yet in their beds.
The epoch of haste had not come.
The saddle WAS the emblem of speed.
Drawn and brains went hand in hand.
No house contained Il sewing lnil-
chine.
We were still nation of hard work
The highways were dusty and pop
ulous.
The canvass covered wagon was the
ark Of trade.
The turnpike was still the great ar
terry of trade.
There was not mower or harvester
in existence.
The land was lighted with candles
after nightfall.
Butter was unmarketable 100 miles
from the dairy.
The steam saw mill had just begun to
devour the forest.
The lord of thousand acres sat with
his harvestels at dinner.
The day began with the dawn and
not with the train arrival.
The spinning wheel and shuttle
sounded in every farmers house.
He who counted his possessions by
the square mile kept open house for the
wayfarer.
The telegraph had begun in Wash
ington and ended IN New York twelve
months before.
The rich were lavish in an abundance
which was not yet coveted by the keen
eye Of commerce.
From east to west was the pilgrimage
of life from north to south was IL

Talent Recognized.

Many citizens of Illinois who at tended the recent Democratic con- vention at Chicago, owe debt of gratitude to genial Hank Evans, the Aurora statesman who presided over one of the doors of the convention. Henry has a warm side for all lllinoisans. Many man who was unknown to Evans imposed upon his good nature by gaining admis sion under the plea that he resided at some cross-road hamlet of Illinois. On the second day of the convention a short, pudgy fellow brushed up to the door and said:
 "I have come all the way here to see this convention and l want to do it."
 Where is your homef"
 Aurora
 "Indeedl What is your namei'
 My name is Evans-Hank Evans"
 "Well, am very glad to meet you," rejoined the doorkeeper, land if you are really Hank Evans, l guess will have to let you in, because know Mir. Evans is a stanch Democrat, and I would be sorry to do anything to offend him. !"
 Thereupon he passed the insistent stranger into the convention hall. at the same time pressing into his hand a calling card with his own name on it. The fellows face was a study at that moment.
 "Go in, continued Evans. You don't deserve recognition as an Illinoisan, but your qualifications as liar entitle you to a seat. "-- Chicago Mail.

The sIan-Faeed Crab.

One of the most singular looking creatures that ever walked the earth, or 'swam the waters under the earth, is the world-famous man. faced crab of Japan. Its body is hardly an inch in length, yet the head is fitted with face which is the perfect countenance of a Chinese coolie--a veritable missing link, with eyes, nose and mouth all clearly de- fined. This curious and uncanny creature, besides the great likeness it bears to human being in the face, is provided with two legs which seem to grow from the top of its head and hang down over the side of it's face.

They Do Not speak Now.

Mrs. Hillaire is one of those women who delight to make a conf dante of some one in less prosperous circumstances in order that she may patrouize her. The happiest mo- ment of her life is when she is showing some 6nery to a friend who is palpably unable to possess any thing nearly so fine. The other day, while entertaining a very poor acquaintance, she sought to knock the wind completely out of her sails by the information that she was going to spend the summer in Europe.
 ''I suppose, " replied her friend, who had no idea that she was rudely disturbing a well-secreted family skeleton, ''I suppose your husband is very glad you are going New York Evening Sun.

MIGHTY WEARING ON A MAN.

 "Hush-a-bye, hnsh-a bye" cooed she.

 The woman made ten quick laps around the room, danced the suffer ing baby vigorously and performed a great variety of exhaustive antics, popularly supposed to make young children forget their troubles.

 One by one the sands of time flowed through the hour-glass. Minutes grew into hours. Just as the rising sun was coloring the eastern horizon with delicate glow the baby fell asleep. With a smile of tender radiance the mother placed her darling in the cradle, and, imprinting a soft kiss upon its brow, turned to her own couch.
 The lord of the manor stirred and opened his eyes.
 "Can I help you, Mariai" he fee ply asked, with yawn.
 The wife and mother sighed.
 "No, John,' she wearily re- joined.

THE SECOND BABY.
Its Coming Sore Trial For the First B

Its Coming a Sore Trial For the first-Born.
 A true mother will of course nev- CT willingly wound the feelings of any of the little ones intrusted to her care. Yet in many instances they unintentionally cause bitter pang to center in the heart of their first born by the attentions that are of course necessary to be bestowed on number two. In many house. holds the pet and joy of the entire family is hardly more than baby itself when another little baby ap- pears, and all the raptures and at tentions are given to the new conner Number che looks on in amazement. Why should this ht- tie crying, red-faced atom monopo- ize his mothers armsi Why should he be put aside and allowed to drift for himself when only few days before things were so differenti People look at him and say "his nose is out of place now" He doesn't know exactly what that means, but he is certain of one thing-he is very lonely, and the baby heart receives stab, young as he is, that he will always remember The childish eyes look wistfully at his father when baby gets the kisses once bestowed on him the blue eyes fill with tears when mother has no time to read to him, but sings by the hour to this usurper whom he never saw before.
 An, mothers, remember that ten der little heart of your first born, and do not put him aside with nasty words, and give all your caresses to the helpless little stranger that has brought so great a change into the life of one who so lately occupied the honored place. You say in time he will understand. Yes, true. But the stabs, unloading though they be, will dwell in the childish heart and mind until that day comes. Therefore do not slight the little one nor cast him off, but share your wealth of mother love between the two, so that the coming of baby sister or brother will having nothing of bitterness in his remembrance.- Philadelphia Times.
