PITHILY-PUT PROGRESS.
The buldgeon was' fashioned to fight with, Because it could silence the fist; An axehead was better than either, Till the brain of a man took a twist, And a bow sent the arrow-shafts speeding To kill where an axe couldn't reach. And if a walled city was met with, A catapult busted a breach. The arquebus, musket, and rifle, Came after, with cannon that roar. Oh! there had to be many inventors Before there could be any war! —Will Lawson.
