Excerpt from The Merry Times of Sixty Years Ago The "Merry Times of Sixty Years Ago" is a "Word-Picture" of the Select-School Teacher's "Exhibition, " held in the Church, at the close of his Term. The exercises consisted of short recitations by the boys, compositions read by the girls, dialogues, music, and a Benediction by the Pastor. The "Apple-paring" and the plays following it, also "Shaking the Quilt" and the "Kitchen-dig" are no longer thought of, or known. This "Word-Picture" was drawn nearly thirty years ago, which places the happy times of those young people in the far away past. It is well at times to take a look backward and compare the pleasures and disadvantages of those days with the pleasures and advantages of the present time. Doubtless the young people of that generation were as happy as the young people of to-day - knowing no other life.
