Fifty years ago, the worthy fathers and mothers of the present generation were willing to dress in their own homespun the busy wheel was whirling by the kitchen fireside, the knit-ling-needle were plied, and the wool woven in the bouse, and the finer fabrics dressed at the fulling-mill, which has given way to the apacious factory. The water-fall and ateain engine, the improved spindles and olher machines, manufacture now millions of yards, wliere50 year since only hundreds were "made, and that by the industrious and thrifty hand of the mothers ind daughters of the hardy farmer of those days.

Within the past fifty year, science has done wonders for the human race she has by ber discoveries, the facilities she has created, the powers she has developed, added to the wealth and happiness of almost every class in our land. The fanner, among others, is indebted to her for his well-constructed ploughs, his improved breed of cattle and swine, new varieties of seeds and grain, as well as trees, shrubs and vines, and his improved implements of every kind, from toe simple apple peeler to the steam threshing machine. Domestic economy, too, has been indebted to science for implements to add to our convenience and comfort. Within the past fifty-years, commerce has made brethren and friends of the remote inhabitants of the earth the cause of peace has, as we trust, been progressing that of philanthropy and temperance is rapidly advancing and we trust a nations grow wiser, better acquainted, more cmlixed, that vice and ignorance will give place to virtue and knowledge, and the horrors of war to the quiet blessing of peace and good fellowship."
