TINES CHANGES.

AS is annually the case q resume
Of the old years record is being over
done, but upon this occasion it may
be excussble, as not only another
year has just passed but the curtain
Of another century has been rung
down in the changes Of history. tits
Q fitting time to mediate upon ones
past or upon the record Of ones To-
cslity as he has known it, paTticu'
larly il you can gather therefrom a
need Of experience that will he Of
profit for the future.
qbe works on science will TEEN
with the accomplishments of talent
during the Nineteenth century, the
ology will show the strides of Christ
endom and pedsgogics will expstiate
upon the advances of learning. With
us simpler folk the practical side Of
life will be, or should be weighed,
and where there is shortage the fu
ture should be pledged to make good
the count. In our State and our i'm
mediate vicinity we have much to be
thankful for, much to congratulate
ourselves upon and many lessons set
for future guidance. True, our peo-
pie have passed through seasons Of
dearth, but'these have invariably been
succeeded by years of muni6cence,
and we believe that the present is q
beginning of another period Of pros
perity. One of the best indices Of
this is the increase in business OF
every description, more practically
demonstrated by the mercantile. Our
merchants proclaim that the season
which is but a few weeks old is one
of the best they have had in years.
Another great indication Of return
of general prosperity is the earnings
of the railroads. It cannot be de-
MED that when an era of prosperity
is on it is indicated by the earnings
OF common carriers among the first of
all. To travel, individuals must be
possessed of means; for freights,
there must be something to ship, and
when shipping is brisk 1t is inevitably
true that there must be returns to the
masses Of the people.
AS we have said. the sgriculturists
Of some sections have not Jared so
we'll because of local droughts in
deed, we learn, in some localities
there is q scarcity of provender for
man as we'll as beast. OF course it
will be hard for these unfortunates
to see that there is any general pros
nerity, but we are deeply thankful
that this is only in isolated instances.
There is room for vast Improvement
in the condition of our farming class,
chiefly denied them, We think, through
faulty legislation, but this has been
for ages and will continue, we fear,
until time infnitesimal. But be-
cause Of this let us not despair, but
keep q stiff upper lip and work for
tho good of ourselves, our country
and our God. After all this should be
the chief end of man.
