The Department of Agriculture is about to publish an interesting re port comparing the cost of living early in this cehtury with what it is now. It exhibits vividly the contrast between the {loverty of primitive agriculture atid the progress in hivi!! satiou afid wealth resulting from high development Of all the posi bilitietof land and labor in rural and Industrial arts, and Industrise. The small wages paid in thoee days are as surprising as the low prices of commodities of all sorts. Game was abundant early in the century and therefore cheap. Veni ion coat only three and a half centa u pound. Bear meat was very slight' ly higher. Pigeons were in abundance, selling at a little more than a cent apiece. Elderly readers will retnem> ber the flighu Of flocks of pigeoi I which darkened the ekiei even as late as fifty years ago. Shod were 5 very cheap, costing only four casts each. Owing to the plentiful supply of gome, tatined skiAi were low id price. A deer-skin fetched about $1 Urffi.i Milk sold for two cents a quart and butter for thirteen ceutr a pound. Apples were from twelve and a half to twenty-five cents a bushel, but by 1823 they had reached fifty-cents. Farm wages were only about one third of what they are now, ranging from t«#nty*tBfue to fifty cents week. From $4 to $5 a year was the usnal compensation of wall* grown lade. Ourbundred year* ago, tbe ranameratiou'of a boy for doing “churea,” such aa'cutting wood and foddering horaea one year, was or* dingrily $5. The use of a pair of oxen for a day cost twenty*five cents, while the use of a cow for one year coat $2. It cost sixty ceuts to make a pair of shoes. Tbe price of a pair of moccasias wsi twenty-seven cents. Board was only $i. a we.*k. That was tbe -day of individual and isolated effort, an tedatiug tbe era of aggregation in factories, classifica tion aud division of labor and inven tion of labor-saving processes and ap pliance*. Prices of farm products fluctnated greatly, according to local scarcity, which noald not he mitiga ted by distribution from regions of plenty. If theta wefe big crops they could not be sold) if partial lail- ures there was almost nothing to sell. Every locality, in its industries and prodnets, existed for and by itaelf, having no relation with other com munities) therefore tbe surplus pro duction of each farm was small, the inducement to produce being want ing, and there was very little money Iu pnrohaM anything more than tbe bare necessaries.

Of the perils of the night, whatever they may be. we take no heed. An unsleeping vigilance watches over us, bnt it is the vigilance of one stronger and wiser than we, who is the Eter nal Good. Good and God spring from the same root, are the same in meaning. “Good-by” is only . “God be with yon.”. “Gpod-night” is real ly “Cod night,” or “God guard the ■night.” It would be a cburlisb household in which these gentle forms of speech were ignored or did not exist.
