Commenting on a recent sermon by 1 Dean Inge in Loudon, in which, he look a. pessimistic view of human progress, Mark Guy Pcar.se writes in the Methodist Recorder” adopting the opposite outlook. It should, he says, be a matter of great thanksgiving and of much rejoicing to look back over a, century of England. Ho asked an eighty-yea,r-old woman who had lived at a turnpike gate all her days, “ Tell me, 'when you wore a girl how many drunken farmers have you seen going home of a market night?” .She stopped a moment. “ Why. there was scores.” “ How many are there now?” Again site stopped as if to count. ‘’There’sonly one—o’ course, if you do mean things like that; why you might call it another world.” An old man declared to him, “ 1 do not say since I was a. boy the world lias been Christianised, j but I do say it has been humanised. ; I myself saw a woman stripped to tho waist and tied to a cart tail, and whipped through the streets of Kidderminster for stealing.” j Mr Pearse proceeds:— “lb is,but a hundred years ago that every week a waggon-load of little children nor© sent from tho London work- 1 houses to work in Lancashire cotton factories from 5 in the morning to 7 or 8 at night; and in the case of one workhouse the condition was made that in svery waggon-load of children them should be one idiot child. (See Lecky.) We find ns late as 1846 that a soldier was flogged till he died. Lord Palmerston resisted the proposal that tho punishment of a soldier or a sailor should bo limited to a hundred lashes. Slavery existed in Scotland down to the lawn of tho nineteenth century. Colliers and sailers were slaves bought and mid with tho works at which they laboured. “ Think of all the coal of the country aoing brought up ladders by women ivith baskets on their backs, often stripped to the waist. Thev dragged .bout little waggons by a chain fastened round them, crawling on hands md feet in the darkness of the mine. Jhiidfcn of six were, regularly employed. 1 1 was one of ’em.’ said an old man to me in South Wales ‘ I was mo of ’em—had half a crown a week md had to pay for tho oil for my lamp mt of that. 1 The Act which prohibit-j ed working people by throat of imprisonment from entering into any combination to raise wages or to reduce the ion} 5 remained in force until “The terrible brutality of a hundred years ago is appalling. There • were two hundred and twenty-three offences for which one could bo hanged. .If a man injured "Westminster Bridge ho was hanged. If ho appeared disguised in a, public road lie was hanged. If ho cut- down a young tree he was hanged. If he shot a. rabbit lie was hanged. If he stole anything over five shillings he was hanged. In 1816 there were at one time fifty-eight persons under sentence of death, one a child of ten years of age. In tho life 0 f Mrs try, the story is told of a child of eight who broke a window and stole twopenny-worth of sweets, and was sentenced to be hanged.” “ No, no, Mr Doan !” the writer concludes. “ Thank God. it is another world.” Gage: “What is an optimist?” Steve: ‘‘An optimist is a cross-eyed man who is thankful that lie isn’t bowlegged.” Xo bad after-effects with WADE’S WORM FIGS. Pleasant, sure and certain. 4. “Smith is a confirmed pessimist, isn't he?” said Jones. “Yes,” replied Brown. “ Blue is tho only colour ho sees in a rainbow.” ' Mothers I protect your little ones from colds and coughs. Give them “ NAZOL” on sugar. Sprinkle baby’s pillow.
