THE PRESENT ERA.
• A writer in an English exchange says : — " It appears to me; that England is now going through a period very similar to that which we went through in Australia one and twenty years ago. The glory of the diggings passed away ; 'the reckless speculation of old digging daya could not be continued ; immense profits had become a thing of the past ; wages were greatly reduced ; all classes of the community i found themselves compelled to reduce their expenditure, and tliere was weeping, and gnashing of teeth ; but, in that practical part of the world, people were not content to sit still and ' cry over spilt milk ;' they recognised the necessities of the times ; they set to work ; if they could not get employment at one kind of work they took another ; they began to develop the great natural resources of the country ; success, unlooked-for success, has attended their efforts. England must follow the example of her more go-ahead offspring."
