New
Year
Plea
the
Past

When a man attempts to write article for
the press, 1t is of the first Importance that he
should have subject. In case he finds himself
at loss, on that head he has only to write, for
caption, the ominous words Past" present"
and Future" and his subject is before him.
Let him then proceed to glorify the present"
extol the Future" and abuse the past in
good set terms, and his work is done-he has
an article in admirable keeping with the Spirit
OF the Age" Inasmuch l cannot venture an
attempt to explore the whole field above indicated
I select from the trio the first named and will
offer brief plea in behalf of the much abused
"Past"
We may vaunt the Present and boast of
the wonders it has achieved; but it is not true
that we have wrought out in thousand of
the blessings which we enjoy. On the contrary
all preceding ages have toiled for us; and that old
Past" which we so much despise, is neverthe-
less full of blessedness for us. Its busy multi
tudes have labored, with strong hands, for our
good, and left us an inheritance, without which,
the present" would be shorn of it's glory.
Whether turn attention to the Material
the Intellectual the Political Religious world
shall meet stupendous and blessed monuments
of the labors of the Past" True, the great
work of man earth is not yet completed, and
many of the evils which afflicted other ages re-
main to affict us. Nevertheless great work
has been done. The toll of centuries has not
been fruitless but it has left it's impress upon the
world; and the victories of the PAST show that
those who have gone before have been
gagged in true work, and have done their best
for themselves and their race
The field thus opened is wide, and | shall at
tempt more than a brief survey of few of
its more prominent features
l find myself in comfortable and convenient
house. It's walls firm, and it's proportions
fair At this moment, the bleak wind is blowing
and the storm is raging without But let it rage.
1t finds entrance here. Bleak and cold as it is
without, summer regns within, and all is COM
Portable if no wind storm was known. This
house was indeed built by the men of the present
age, but the Past taught them how to perform the
work l think of the primitive hut of the
age, constructed from the bark the boughs of
the forest-of the rude wall made of the mud
clay of the earth-and how slowly improvement
went on, from these, up to all the convenience and
elegance of modern dwelling; and l note what
intense thought, what ingenuity, what patient
labor it has cost the world to bring art up to its
present perfection, and l perceive that the Past
has not been idle, employed to no purpose.
Strike out that Past and there would not be,
earth, a that could erect a building better
than the hut of the savage or the tent of the
wanderer.
Again, I consider the clothing upon my body,
and compare it with the skins of beasts and the
rude fabrics of olden times. l think how the
toilsome thread spun by the fingers, and
twisted with a spindle twirled by the hand; and
