Let us enter one of the homes of these Puritan pioncers. The house, which is over a small, deep cellar, is binlt of logs, notehed where they meet at the corners, with a thatehed roof and a la chimney atone end, built of stones comented with clay. The small windows are covered with oiled paper, with protecting shut ters, and the massive door is ain oaken plank, swinging on wooden hinges The interior 1s very rude; yet it has a lomelike air. “Uhe immense hearth flat stones ocenpics nearly an entire side of the house. LForest logs, four feet in longth, are piled upon the ponderous andirons, and, on oe a big “hack-log” is dr by a horse, and then rolled to the fire by hand-spikes. “Blazing hearth stones' had then a meaning, at which, in our days of furnaces and steam pipes, we can only guess. There was no need of avtificial’ ventilation, when, through the s of the building, swept keen, brisk eurrents of air. The old-time furniture may scem strange to our sight, In one corner is buffet full of rows of shining pewte dishes, A agh-backed chair or two, massive table, % large ehest with w carved front, and some Indian hirch boxes for wearing apparel are ranged around the walls High on the mantel shelf, with a set ' on one side and the time, marking Yass oi the other, 1s the well thumbed Bible, which was not kept for show.

The stout tick for this, the snow-white sheets, the warm flannel blankets and heavy woolen rugs, woven in cheeks of black, red or white, or the lighter coverlet, were all tihe products of the domestie wheel and loom. There were no carpets. ‘The floors we sprinkled with fine white sand, which, on l rticular occasions, was brushed into anciful terns with a birch broom ora bundle of fresh hemlock houghs The fare of the Puritan colonist was as frugal as it was wholesome, In the morn- ing the farmer and his family sat down to th breakfast of hean porridge, or boiled corn meal and milk, withahealthy spetite.

We can faney a New England table of vly days, with its pewter dishes, red to their utmost polish, and in Ithier households here and there a silver beaker or_tankard, the heirloom of the family.

But littte progress had been made in inven- tion and the arts, and hardly one of the modern contrivances for cooking, aud warmi and lighting dwellings W known. Not pound of coal or u drop of ke ne oil had been hurned in the country. No iron stoves were [ no contrivances for I's wore employed until Dr. Franklin in- yented the iron frame fi ce, which still bears his name. All the cooking and warming was done by il d of fire kindled upon the brick hearth or in tl brick oven. Pine knots or tallow candles furnished the light for the long winter ings ‘I'he water used for household purposes was drawn from deep wells by the ereak ing “sweep,’ and it is a eurious circum- that both the well and the ont- buildings were often at long distance from thic house. No form of pump w used in this country until after the b ginning of the presént century, Th 10 friction matehes m those carly ays, by the aid of whi five could be speodily kindled; and if the five “went out'’ upon the hearth over night, and the tinder was damp, so that the spark would not “eateh,” the alternative remained of wading through the snow mil borrow @ brand from a neighbor’s hearth Only one room in house Wi warmed, unless som family wi ill, or a courtship w ;inall the rest the temper v t zero during many nights in winter.

The critical character of these | veriodical revuisions is greatly ted by the flactuations of that n currency which speenlative business has everywhere introduced. It has so far been pailiated by the cxtension of the market —into new countries - America, India, Egypt, China, ete. But when this process teaclies an end and one commer cinl system extends over the wor then, if not sooner, prices will actually fall to the cost of production, and the catastro phe of production for profit will be reached.
