We pay out our good money to no

ever a succession of scenes may be
oallsd nod never atop to think Uiat, to
any one of tbe great oltiae, there is a
never-ceasing panorama, to which we
pay little or on attention. Not only a
nevtr-o easing panorama, bat an ever
ebanglng panorama. A panorama of
oomedy and of tragedy, of life and
death, and a panorama In whieb, aome

were weariness. Moat of them are

wbo live—God knows how—and who
burry every morning with tbe horrible

all tbeee centuries and only wool and

but tbe plant wae not cultivated, it
waa Indigenous to that oountry and

But now oomee the evolution of cot

has ever transpired lo commerce and

neoeaeary to bring about this revolu
