Man for the future can but reason from the past. In a hundred years he has seeu or heard of many changes on the wondrous globe he calls bis home. Great souls havo come and and gone- great souls will oome again. Intellect has quickened tLe mean ot his locomotion, lessened the Adamite course of toil; intellect will do so still. So he reasons, snd so his logic rests uponlhe past. One hund red years ago the world traveled in lumbering coaches, and sailed to sea ' in slow-going ships. To-day the iron horse goes tearing though the land, and steamers fridge the widest oceans. Mouths have chsnged to weeks and heurs. One hundred vears ago iho traveler belweu New York and the Illinois wilds would have made up his mind lo a three weeks trip in lumbering wsgons, ferries and uncomfortable stages. In this yesr of grace 1879 two davs and one night, passed in case aud" com fort, see him safely at hi jeurney's end.

And what, if he does, shall tie see a daily balloon to London and, an aflcrioon trip to Florida? Will the docks, now echoing to the hiss of steam, be filled by strange,' unearthly shapes, with wings and fans, anil gaudy bags of gas? Will freight trains, drawn by noiseless power, pals Hwiltlv beneath the sea, aud par. eels dart like lightning around the, . world? Stranger things than these have happened within a hvndfed years, and some may live to si eteu gresler wonders. ' i i SlalUtici for Clrli. A young English statistician, who was paying oouit to a young lady, thought to surprise her with his im- menso erudition, i rouuoing nia note book, she thought he wss about to indite a love sonnet, but was slightly taken aback by the following question: "How many meals 'do you oat?" "Why, three, of course; but ot all the oddest questions!" "Never iniud, dear. I'll tell you all about it in a minute." ( His pencil was rapidly at work. At last, loudly clasping her slender waist: "Now my darling,' I've got it, and if you wish to know how inuoh has passed throu gh It at adorable little nioiiih iu the last seventeen years, I can give jou the exact figures." "Go dnesa t Gracious I What oan you rheon?" "Now, jut listen," says he, "and you will hear exactly what you have been oblige I to absorb to maintain' thdno charms which are lo make the happiness of my life." "But I don't wont to hear." "Ah, you are surprised, no doubt, but statistics aie wonderful things: Just listen: You areaeventeen years old, so that in fifteen years you have absorbed oxen or calves, 2; sheep and laubs, 14; ch'ckens, 857; bucks, 204; geese, 12; turkeys, 100; game of vari mis kinds, 824; fishes, lGO; eggs, 3,124; vegetables (bunches), 700; fruit (baskets), Co3; cheese, 102; bread, cake, etc., (it. sacks of flour), 40; wine (barrels), 11; water gallons, 3,000."
