Frimitive-
It is true that there have been
many marked improvements within
the space of forty y ears, and even far
less than forty. Yet there are some
people who have not joined in the
forward march, but have in many
things remained stationary. The log
cabin of the olden time remains pret
ty much as It wR. nd )
found in certain sections of the coun
try, not excepting Guilford. One
peculiarity of the old time cabin was
the absence of sash and glass win
dows, and in many cases there was
no outlet of any sort except through
the doors, there being generally two
doors opposite each other. To us it
appears strange, though no doubt the
builders of such houses could give a
reason for what seems to us a spe
cies of folly. ''- : "" ' '
: Life within the walls of such a
home must have been amazingly sirni
pie. . We cannot imagine ; ,the - trim

tiimaning of anything that conveys
the idea , of mental improvement.

' If man
"Wants hut little her below, .
Nor wants that Utile long,"
very many of the numerous things
which men provide for themselves
could easily be dispensed with. If
life in primitive times was too empty,
msy it not no be too full? is it not
true that the modern housekeeper
bears an almost intolerable burden of
service, much of it outside of the
really necessary ? Has not-what we
term progress in social aflairs, in
many cases increased instead of re
moving burdens?
It would be worth while, we think
to scrutinize well all ttyles of "fresh
importation," examining well their
claims to be adopted, having an eye
to the main purpose of life in our
creation as rational and responsible
beings,
It must ever be a sad thought that
the very best endeavors of men seem
to be, generally, to live handsomely
and in stylish independence, in seem
ing disregard ot the voice which
comes up every day from the vaults
ot departed glory : "All flesh is grass,
ard the glory of man as the flower of
grass." There has been great im
provement in many things, we con
fess, but though ther have been
many embellishments hung about our
doorways, making them beautiful and
attractive-, yet we should not 'forget
that the most .flowery patha of our
feet lead out to ''the house appointed
for all the living." , ;
It will not, in a little while hence,
signify anything whether we have
