Then ani Now.
BY A CIT1ZEX OF FAYETTE T0WXSIIIP.
In course of time school wers estab
lished. They were long distances apart,
children traveled one to three miles to
the school house and back making in ihe
round trip 2 to C miles. These were
wiuter schools. There were 110 such
things as schools in the summer. It was
custoincry to start at day brake and re
turn at cHisk or dark The branches
taught wers spelling, reading, writing
und arithmetic. The teachers taught fur
60 cts a mouth per pupil. Three months
constituted the terra. The tcacherj rais
ed the school by goiug around among the
iuhabitautd and asking them to send their
cliililrcti, the subscribers frequently bar
gained to board the teacher through the
term, he boaTdiug around a week at a
time. Sometimes they paid for their
board nt the rate of $1,00 per week, tak
ing pot luck as t'lty called it, which
consisted in such table things aa rye
coffer, fried meat, pickles, bread and but
ter and apple butter for breakfast, soup
for dinner witlt meat, potatoes, cabbage
milk and buckwheat cakes and apple
butter, and sometimes honey. For sup
per oinsli and milk and apple pio or
bread and apple butler, thu was about
the usual diet in those days.
Boys and gitls would go bare footed
all sumuicr, and each get one pair course
leather shoes each year and no more.
The boys had to patch aud mend the
oboes of the family, gencrly after night,
not having time in open d.iy. The girls
wore a horn comb to keep up their hair,
and wore linwy shot t gown aud pitticoat.
About 1S12 14 aud along there men
began to wear boots.
In those days there was not a Dear
born wagon, buggy nor. stilkey, or any
olher kiud of vehicle except a gig in
all the country.
. Iluarltj were bad generly, people were
engaged in clearing, and tbey moved the
road its often as they pleased. The con
sequence was we were getting new stump
roads all ihe time. The farmers visited
each other a good detil then. If a deep
snow fell the boys would gear up, and
then feed and fodder. The girls would
milk the cow3, do up the house work,
cover the. fire, and fasten the donr, while
tLe boys brought the eled with lots of
clean straw in it around to the door,
where father, mother, children and all,
would get in, and Japp their limbs in
quilts, coverlets, aud away they would
go. They would go two three and often
eight aud ten miles on a visit aud if they
got home that night with less than half a
doz?n upsets they counted themselves
lucky. lVrh ips often a fresh snow there
would be uo track (or twetitj-fotir hours
or more, for there were no sleighs yet
made. Thcu to diivc at a Uot after
night in a fresh deep snow, stumps not
visible, how easy it was to strike a stump
on the larboard side and spill themselves
out into the euow, thcu the cry would
usually be Whoa ! whoa ! whoa ! some
crying, others laughing. All would rise
and try again. These slumps were truly
stumbling blocks in ilie way. I have
often since heard people laugh over old
times and say, "Had'itt we high times
then." I h.ve often thought that it
was low times after a eled tripped over
a stump. Notwithstanding timber was
plenty, streams of water were not bridg
ed. I suppose the amount of travel did
not justify the expsnse. So on a bitter
night jackfrost not forgetful of his game,
the sled would go through the thin ice
plout into the creek, and the bottom of
the vehicle not being water tight, would
leak upwards, and not beiug as active
drilling out of tho sled as dribling, in
about the time the passengers wanted to
dismount they didn't just get off as qnick
as they got on ; they were frosted fast in
the etraw. This we could always tel! by
the squeaking noise that was heard when
the passengers wanted to get out after
the team had stopped.
I love to thiuk of old times, for men
aud women were more sociable, then than
now There was no aristocracy then,
but all were equal ; all were dependant
nn each other. Tltey all had houses and
barns to raise, aud they worked like men.
They seemed to bo glad to help each
other. They would cat heartily their
coarse food. They would drink freely of
whiskey except myself I never would
drink whiskey I claim I was the first
temperance man in our county. Though
I did not quarrel with them for their
much drinking, yet I drank none, except
once a set of men made me drunk. It
was the first and last time. I recollect
when there were twelve distilleries be
tween Mifflin and Richfield, all in full
blast. I can yet name the men who
owned them, aud also poiut out their loca
laa laws.
FEBRUARY 12, 1373.
tions. 1 believe they were useful in their
day, and here is my reason. It would
not pay to haul Rye or Corn to Philadel
phia or' BaltiiMra.' - Tho fanner who
would do that had far better go idle', fir
all ths grain he would haul would' not
pay his expenses there and back, the
price being so low. Ilye sold st 25 to
35 cts per bushel for full thirty yeats ;
Corn 22 to 31 eta The distillers bought
the farmers rye and corn, aud also the
hogs to consume the pot ale. The far
mers in turn each bought a barrel of
of whiskey, rating per gallon at from 23
to 35 cts. This kept trade agoing, and
every body drauk whiskey, and some
drank too much. Laboring men had to
have their three drums pet day at every
kind of work. In harvest a bottle was
kept in tho field all day, and as soon as
it was empty the hands would cry out,
'more whiskey, and it would be brought
as readily as when the m ison cries to
the hod carrier for mud. Whiskey was
'pure then ; some men fattened on it.
Then fanners would get a waijon load of
whiskey to go to market with, and bring
back a load of salt or store goods foi
somebody in the country. We had no
canal nntil 1831. Farmers opposed mak
ing the canal They said it would de
stroy wagoning and put down the price
of horses. It did kill up wagoning. To
the cities, but the price of horses rose.
Before the canal was made there being
no dams in the lliver thousands upon
thousands of chad were caught in the
Juniata River. All the couuty went to
the liver during the shad season to get
shad. They were bought at 10, 12 aud
15 cts according to the easiness aud light
ness of money affairs. Money was very
scarce In 1SI1 aud 1818 all the state
Banks broke, aud never could recuperate,
hence, the old saying was Juniata pay
was shad iu the spring atidjryc after har
vest. Siucc farmers have commenced liming
their lands iu our county, the increase in
their crops has beeu 25 or 30 per cent ,
and some more yet. There should be
more limiijg done ; it mellows and sweet
ens the ground, it strengthens and warms
it, a:id if lime is properly applied to the
laud the crops will stand the winter
frosts better. The crops will advance
earlier iu tho spring, fill better and ripen
sooner.
When I think back fifty to sixty years
and see the much hard work that m?n
aud women u?ed to do, au'i compare them
and their work with this generation, I
wonder who were' the wisest and who
were the beet clases. Then none re
ceived education, now all ; then all were
neighbors, now none are ; then- it was
everybody for everybody, now it is
everybody for them-H-Ivva ; then it was
sympathy, for the poor, the sick and the
afdicted ; now it is the best fellow fore
most aud the devil take the hindmost ;
then we knew not the meaning of the
word extortion, now we know nothing
ehe ; thcu all work was douo by manual
labor, now it is all doue by machinery r
then we slept iu our cool well ventilated
houses, now in close plastered, nnven
tilated stove rooms. I dont kuown what
will become of tlie next generation ; men
used to work fiom before day until after
dark, soon nobody will care about work
ing, for Joe. Wood? said there was only
sixpence difference between the man that
would work and the man that didn't and
the man who would not work got tb?
sixpence.
Mr. Editor, this is a long scratch I
will write on again.

There is something peculiarly fascinat
ing in the idea of girding the earth with
a vocal electric current without the in
tervention of wires on the land or cables
beneath the sea, after the fashion iu which
Mr. Mahlon Loomis proposes to girdle it.
This gentleman, who has suddenly sprung
iuto notice aa the originator of an exper
iment bolder than any ever undertaken
by Morse or Faraday or Tyndall, asks
nothing more than an altitudinous cleva
tion and a kite and, being thus provid
ed, he proposes to give a new expression
to those wouderful forces of nature which
if we may believe his theory, stand rea
dy to obey his sigual, ani are, in point
of fact, impatiently awaiting the magic
touch of his hand. Frauklin flew his
kite and solved a problem in science.
Looms goes up iuto a high mountaiu lets
loose his kite among the currents of the
upper air, and, we suppose, otters cabal
istic words to unlock the secrets of the
ether. Exactly how be is to do it, and
where it is to be done, he does not tell
us ; but it ia dimly bin ted that with one
foot npon the summit of the highest
Rocky Mountain peak and another npon
Monte Rosa, or, say, tho Matterhorn (if
he can climb that dreadful height), he
will instantly span the sea with an elec
tric current, and ask for neither wires
nor poles. The Atlantic is no bar to the
project he contemplates ; nor, probably,
would the broad Pacific alarm him.

Mr. Lonmis profe.'Ses such a degree of
faith ia the success that awaits him, that
he has magnetized Congress and the
President. The bi'l for the incorporation
of his Company, shrewdly drawn so as
I to require no appropriation ; and there
fore a simple thing to dispose of, received
the Executive signature; but it is evi
dout from the tenor of the debate in the
Seuate, on the day of its passage, that
uot one of the members of that Lbdy
had the slightest notion of the meaning
of t'ie project which the bill was iuteud
cd to cover.
Some wer e inclined to make a je?t of
the whole business but Mr. Anthony and
a majority with him decided that Mr
Loomis was entitle J to fair treatment in
asmuch as bo did not ask for money
aud therein lies the contrast between the
shabby treatment bestowed upon Trofes
sor Morse thirty years ago, and that j
which Mr Loomis now receives. Morse
in the session of 1S12 3, left Washington
heart sick, and it was only after he had
actually Hashed his first message through
the wires that Congress give hi.n, at the
last hour of the session, a pitiful appro
priation. Thirty years later Loomis gets
prompt courtesy from Congress, with no
appropriation at all and essays to perform
a feat which Morse never dreamed of

"Tobacco i3 an Indian weed,
Which from tLe devil doth proceed.
It picks your pockets, burns your clothes,
And makes a chimney of your nose."
Old Khyme
There is a plant which is instinctively
avoided by every member of the brute
creation. The horse will not pasture on
it. the ox will not gaze on it, the ass will
not feed upou it, the goat will not browse
on it, the mule that eats briars and this
ties will not eat this, the hog will1 hot
root about it, even ihe birds will not light
upon it ; no animal but man will even
touch h. Yet this plant, which is so
nuivcrsally shunned by every member of
the animal kingdom but man, is by him ; 1
esteemed a luxury, and is a daily solace j
to thousands, yea, to millions of the
human family, all over the world from
the Laplaudcr, amid arctic snows, to ' the j
naked negro pautiug on the Liue from . :
the birthplace of the human race iu the !
East to the uttermost limits of civiliza
tion iu the West nay, farther ; for its
kingdom is not bounded by civilization,
it is used alike by civilized aud by sav
age, by the European and the Hottentot,
the peer aud the peasant; its sway is
only limited by the limits of the species,
aud its empire is co extensive with the
human family itself.

HISTORY OF TOBACCO.
Attempts have been made to prove
that tobacco was known to the ancients.
And this from the fact that mention is'
made in ancient history of the operations
of smoakiug and snuffing. This, thongh
it proves that man ever prone to evil
did, at an early period, aa he his done
since, resort to the Bmoking of narcotic
herbs for the purpose of procuring sensu-
al enjoyment ; yet theie is no eviJeuce
to show that any of the herbs so employ
ed was tobacco, but sneezing powders,
otherwise called 'ernniaUtrir ; which
were employed at first, at least medi
cinally.
No, tobacco is a native of our own 1 scoree and hundreds of good men eoiild
America. How long before the discovery : be interested in the Prohibition move
of this conntry by Columbus it was in : ment both as workers and contributors if
use among the natives we have no means
of knowing ; but we know that very soon
thereafter, it was carried through the .
agency of commerce to all parts of the
known world. "As the discovery of!
America cursed Europe with tobacco," j
says a noted -English statesman, ' who ;
can tell whether the discovery has been j
more of a blessing or a course V

Tue history of the introduction of
tobacco into common use affords a strik
ing illustration of the itnpotency of hu
man laws to control the inclinations of
mankif'd. In most countries its
duction was signalized by the passi-'i of
rigorous laws interdicting its use. In
some it was classed with adultery, and
treated as felony. In others, separate
tribunals were appointed for the trials of
offenders iu tobacco. And iu al!, punish
ments the most ignominious and sevcro
were awarded to the culprit. In Con
stantinople any Turk caught in the act
of smoking was placed upon an ass, with
bis face toward the animal's tail, and his
uose transfixed with a pipe, and thus
conducted tbrorgh the streets. In Rus
sia the penalty was for the first offence
the knout ; for the second. Jalh. In
Papal countries excommunication was
the penalty aud the ofL-uder was anathe
inn mar tmalha.
Yet these measnr, sefeie as ihvf
wrrr, all failed of their intended effect,
and tobaco triumphed over ita enemies
at last. It is now cultivated wherever it
can be grown with profit, and conautneJ
wherever rr can be obtained r occupying
in its production land equal in extent to
whole kingdoms, and employing in its
cultivation, manufacture and "sale armies
of men and women, -and untold millions
of capital ; and, worst of fi'lT destroying
to an incalculably extent the health and
lives of its votaries. .

Every one knows the dinger of the
first glass to other people, but strangely
fancying himself stronger than they, the
victim takes it u'r.h'esitarf.tgiy. What at
first was but a f.eak or whim to b easi
ly avoided, soon becomes an irreeistiblo
j spell which neither reason, nor pmdnce.
j nor yet self preservation can break, and
: the innocent first glass proves to be the
introduction to an end iu a drunkard's

rule. Practice it, boys.
