Constable Nathaniel Pratt while sick
and brought before the magistrate to
stand trial for the offense. He was

Changes have been great in form OF
education, of business, in diet, in So
cial obligations, in pleasure and every
department of life. And yet --
1--WE are the same things our fathers have
We see the same sight our fathers have
SEEN
We drink the same stream, and we feel the
same Sun,
And run the same course that our father:
have run.
The thoughts we are thinking our father,
would think
From the death we are shrinking. they to,
would shrink;
To the life We are clinging, they too woulC
cling;
But it speeds from us all like bird OF
the wing"
