The march progress since tne world emerged from the dark agea, was alow for centuries. But dur ing the nineteenth century it has gone forth with the rapidity of lightning and with the force of a giant^ New applica- emment and in morals. The spirit of progress hss breathed upon all of the elements and converted them into new factors in life. Medicine and theology have been largely revolutionized. Even law, one of the most conservative of professions, founded upon authority and practiced by precedent, shows signs of evolution. Chemistry, geology, arch eology, ethnology, have all been shower ing upon the world the riches of their wealth. The travelers have searched every available nook and corner of this placet for new objects of interest As tronomers have diligently swept the heavens in search of new worlds. Yet, in the face of all the positive advance ment, we are asked by Tennyson to stop “ Caatsaplals tU tils work «f Tims, TLsstasI Isbortss ta SI* rowlfc " • The mulls of the lest few shown, is the developwni UiveaUoa. an artmty wholly unparalleUd ia past ague Hits new aad startling scheme a throws up at every etep we make.

He was looked upon ss an extortioner, and therefore an enemy, and yet he was regarded as a friend who stood between the soldier and hunger.. There were occasions when regimental wagons could not “get there, but it was only on rare occasions that the sutler’s wagons could not pull through. It is true, ha asked a big price for his cakes, cheese pud canned mods, but he had taken big risks in following the regiment All things oon- ' the sutler did not deserve the h bestowed upon lus Calling. He rah risks which only brave men take, and his expenses sometimes devoured his profits, large ks they seemed. Very few of them made any great amount of money,'' and scores of them were finan cially busted by raids and robberies. From first to last the sutler was con sidered f*»r game for any one who could beat him, and when he could not be tricked he could be cleaned out This latter process was the darkest mystery in army life. No one seemed to plan or to lead, aad yet all seemed to under stand.

For example, it was not until his fourth book had been published that Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson received a penny in return for the literary weak he hod done, and the sum total received during his life-time would doubtless represent but a very modest amount, Mr. James Bussell Lowell was compelled to publish his first book of poems at his own expense, and at the end of a year, in making up the pub lishers’ accounts, it was found that only forty-five copies of it had been sold. In this instance it would be unnecessary to say whether it was Mr. Lowell or the American public’that contrast to the foregoing it may be said that according to common report Mr. William Black has of late years reoeivdd from £8,500 to £4,000 for each novel that he has written.
