About forty years agomy mother needed a new carpet forthe parlor. According to time-honored custom, she invited her lady friends of the village to a carpet rag sew ing. Ohl coats, pants, jackets, vests, pet ticoats, et cetera, had been carefully saved for a year or more to meet such au enter gency. On the day belbre the sewing, mother mat le ample preparations, by baking and cooking, to treat herlady friends with an abundance of good things. At the ap pointed hour they came, and a glorious time they had durin:f the afternoon. The huge quantity and great variety of old clothes was soon converted into cut and sewed carpet rags, ready for the weaver, and in a few weeks more the family re joiced over a beautiful new carpet, with rich stripes of red, green and yellow, giv in!, our parlor a splendid appearance. The furniture consisted of the said new carpet, a dining tattle, settee. half a dozen chairs, a house clock with a seven feet high case, a ten-plate wood stove dated 17Sl, fbur or five eight by ton inch pictures--likenesses of Washingb in, Jefferson, Adams and Ilamilton—a bureau, and a four feet Ion! , wood-chest behind the stow. The spin niter-wheel, when not in use, was also recognized as au article properly belonging to the parlor. Forty years ago our sisters were taught by their mothers to perform regular house hold duties. They were required to bake bread, make beds, knit stockings, spin wool, flax and hemp, wash dishes, milk cows, gather eggs, churn butter, feed pigs, peel potatoes, plant corn, cook sour-kraut, make hay, hoe corn, scrub and sweep rooms, shake carpets, wash clothes, boil soap, go to market and rock the baby. Young ladies now-a-days learn to dress in the most extravagant and ridiculous style, read novels, study fashions, attend balls, spend the old man's earnings, enjoy the luxury of seeing mother do the work of the household, and faint at the sight of awash tub, a scrubbing brush, a piece of country soav or a crying baby. orty years ago, boys at the a;gc of four teen or fifteen were bound out among; strangers to learn trades, and serve terms of years as apprentices--generally until they attained the age of twenty-one vials, when the young man received, according; to contract, either an extra suit of clothes, a set of tools, or in lieu thereof, from thirty to forty dollars in cash as a •• freedom gift. " During apprenticeship he was required to rise very early in the morning, and work front eleven to thirteen hours a day. Sum , apprentices had their daily tasks befbre them, and received regular pay fin. doing "over work," which en:doled them to earn from fifty cents to one thdlar a week, and lay up money which in .some cases enabled them to stl) into business at t %veiny-out% Boys frequently reserved the right during apprenticeship to spend a few weeks in the country, every year, to work at haymaking and in the harvest fields. and earn for themselves from sixty-two and a-half to eighty-seven and a-half cents a day. Young men of to-day are treated much more tenderly, if not with more \Visdoin. Instead of directit: their al tenthat to use ful trades or occupations, they generally go for situations in 'Hotels, Itestatirants and ()likes. Ilundrols 0101 thousands commence the study of Law, Medicine or Theology without the least re!rard to their naturallitnesstitrsuch professions. Trades, requiting actual labia., and calculated to develop manhood and lead to honor and usetitiness, are carefully a y(44(101141 shun ned, as occupations only t ) b followed h some inferiors. .As a n Itor 11 consequynce our so_coHNl rcspectable yoang men of to day spend much of duir time in driving fast le wses, dritildng fifteen and twenty livo cent brandies and whiskies, and smoking cigars costing., not twenty-tiNT (TiltS her hundred as in oltlyn times, but from live to hat and twenty-tirecentseach.

'Fills startling truthmust very soon engage he serious attention of all g4)041 and right minded people. to the end that the fearful tide 4)f dissipation may 1w reversed and the sat'ety of the rising general )littssured. Forty years ago, spirituous liquor was considered an article of refreshment, and those only were licensed to retail it who were amply provided with house room and accommodations tbr strangers ;11141 t ra yel lers. In other words, btverns Only, afford ing accommodations, such ;Is meals, lod.o•- in;rs, horse feed and stabling, could receive license to sell strong drinks. To Permit tippling and loafing about bar-rooms, forty years ago, was an indictable olfense, and punished as such to the Intl extent of the law. No yours! , man under twenty-one years of age would think of steppinr up to a bar and calling tbr a drink, lir if he did, ill most cases he was promptly ejectel fro II the premises. To-day we find our towns and villages full of mere drinking shops and drunkard making ilistitutions. The hotel-keepers who furiUsli the necessary aeconntiodat ions Il)r strangers and travellers, and who. to carry on a legitimate, necessary and re spect;tble public bnsiness, find that they can no longer depend upon the profits of the bar to assure success in business, and to sustain themselves they must increase their profits on meals, lodging and other hotel accommodations. The drinking branch of the hotel busine;:s is rapidly passing into the hands of mere drinking, saloon keepers. These are provided with condOrtable arm-chairs, private rooms for card-players, and other contrivances cal culated to attract and entrap the young, who, night after night, waste their time and means, and hasten with all possible speed to their inevitable doom. Strong drink is no longer I(tokeduponas an article of refreshment, and to be sold only as such to strangers and travellers, but it is now within the molt of all, from youth to old age, only to demoralize and destroy. The fearful increase of intemperance isnot the work of the hotels, but principally of the thousands of imported drinking shops in our cities and villages throughout the laud. The use of eoculus, indigus, strychnine and other deadly poisons, in making lager beer and intensifying whiskey, in addition to the natural tendency of alcohol, is now carrying inore people to the grave than war and all other unnatural causes com bined ever did during the same period of time. Forty years a!;o, Mr. Brown, the tether Ora family up country, concluded to wake his latter haw and youngsters especially happy by laying in a stock Of substantial New Year's gifts. He didn't behove in spending money tbr candies and toys, ex cept about three to six cents for a tin rat tile, a jumping .losey or a squealing pig for the baby. Ile took an inventory of the wants of the tinnily, and started fin. toti'n early in the morning - distance of six in--where Ite rOtild btty to better advantage. he thought, than at the village store kept by Smith. llelymght his rool is, and his bill was substantially a follows: 8 yds.

SEM Itere we have the black and white to prove that a wife, two boys, two girls and a baby were newly clothed, and thirty-two yards of muslin bought tar general family use, all for $lO.OO. And it must be re membered, too, that the goods bought, were lit tbr anybody to wear, and quite up to the then standard of fashion, and muchad mired by the holy friends and nei!thbors who came in on the evening of that day to congratulate the Brown filially upon their splendid new rigs. They were tumid namsly of the opinbm that Smith, the Nil la."l. storekeeper, was no better than lit ought to be, as he charged a nlevvy for calico not a bit better than that bought by Mr. Brown flux ten cents. Wt. all know, from highly inter.sting txpf•rience, what ten dollars will pay for to-day. The amount isbarely sutlieientto buy a plain b(amet; it takes all of ten th)l tars to buy a pair of good pantaloons. Teti dollars is about what it takes to enahle a thst young man to go on a single "hust." It will buy a plain dress fin• a holy; it will Inty two bottles of Jersey Cider, mixed wit It some drugs to resemble Champagne wins•; it Will buy tlu•ee or four bottles of whishoy which cost a shilling a quart forty years ago; it will Imy two hundred or perhaps tlu•ee hundred cigars, equal in real value to the c(atunou kiml which were bought for twenty-live cents per hundred forty years ago. lteapin2. cycle was the usual way of gztthering ourgrain crops forty years af , o.

There : u rn plenty of independent and intel li!rent farmers in Pennsylvania to-day, who, with wives :Is help-mates, commenced life by earning flirty cents a day in the matmer stated. We all know what forty cents a day will do now. It is the least amottnt with which a hard-working mechanic will tholishly enter a lager beer saloon to pay for the luxury of getting himself over loaded for the night, with a feverish thirst for more in the morning, and a sever( head-ache I)(':,ides.
