Mr.. f. Grummet, Nj. p. relates the
following incident, which occurred
while he was passing through small
village near Rockiort, as a prisoner
under a military escort. 1t will show

The girl, with tears in her eyes, look

without saying word, returned to the

she re-appeared; but her finery had
been taken off, and she carried large
bowl of warm water in her hands. In
a moment the bowl was placed before
me, she motioncd me to put in my feet,
which | did, and down she went upon
her knees, and washed them in the
most tender manner. Oh! what luxu-

SERENApE.

SERENADE.
The following highly poetical and beautiful
lines are translated from the Irish.
The blue waves are sleeping,
The hreezas are still;~
The light dews are weeping
Soft tears on the hill!
The moon in mild beauty
Looks bright from above;
Then come {, the easement,
Ga, Mary, my love!
Not soond or a motion,
lsovcr the lake
But the whisper ofripples
As shrouded they break
Ny ski wakes no ruiIie
The waters among,
Then listen, dear maid,
To thy true lovers song,
No form from the llttice
Did ever recinc,
Over Italy's waters,
More lovely than thine;
Then come to the window,
And shed from above,
One glance If thy dark eye;
One smile of thy love.
OH the soul of that eye,
When il breaks from its shroud,
Shines beauteously out
Like the moon from cloud;
And thy whisper of love
Brcathcd thus from afar,
Is sweeter to me,
Than the sweetest guitar.
From the storms Of this world
How gladly I'd fly,
To the calm OF that breast,
To the heaven of that eye;
How deeply love thee
'Twerc useless to tell;
Farewell then my dear one,
My Mary, farewell.

These data having been obtained through the
custom-houses, they do not agree, to the num-
bers who arrived into the port Of New York dur
ing that year, with those shown in the Mayors
Office, by difference of 3,963. The same dis
crepancy may and undoubtedly does exist in refer
ence to all the places enumerated above. 1t will
be seen, also, to correspond with the differences
noticed in previous years. The above differs, in
deed, from that now actually found at the custom
house, for the particulars embodied in the Sc
cretary of States department, although purpor-
ing to have been derived from the first mentioned
source. While the custom-house exhibits the
number of passengers i'll 1886 at $4,000 the State
Department presents it at 56,57s, making the diff
ference 2,0l9.
1t would appear, according to the Secretarv's
report that there arrived into this port, in 1886,
more than half of the whole who arrived into the
United States, by difference of S,lO9, or more
than two-thirds by 5,2s5; !. e. while 46,57s ar
rived at New York, but 20,36l arrived at all other
places within the country. According to the facts
within the Mayors Office, however, which are un-
questionable evidence upon this point, and which
give the number as having arrived here in that
year at 60,54l and assuming the Secretary's re-
port as to other places to be correct, there were
within fraction T542) of Mree5ourths of The
whote who arrived at the port OF New York.
From this, it might appear, that few other parts
Of our country are affected by the multitudes of
foreigners who are continually pouring into our
city; but it should be understood that from this
city they are flooding the interior towns and the
far West. Were all to minge permanently with
our citizens, we should have had, since 1880, an
annual addition of more than $4,000, or with seven
years more than 700 900 souls, besides our nat,lr-
al increase, and the superaddton Of our own coun-
trymen.
think, with others, that the average numbers
of foreigners who have arrived into the United
States annually for the last few years may be
fairly estimated at 100000. Taking this estimate,
then, for data, since 1890, and we have added to
The native American., 1838-09-08

Of the 2,IsS who arrived during the first quar-
ter, ,4l9 had no occupdtion OF the 26,924 dur
ing the second quarter, 16 $50 had no occupation:
and of the 1882 during the third quarter, IA 4S3
had no occupations: making no less than 3S,057
aliens cast upon the ctizenc> Of New York alone,
in nine months or At ,57l within the year, without
occupation of any kind whatever; or in other words
acere paupers Deducting the l,36l citizens, and
within the above brief period, we had 47,643 add
ed to our foreign population.
The total of 40, ,OO4 for nine months, it should
be borne in mind does not include those who ar
rived in vessels of less than 40 tons, the great
numbers making their way from the Canadas, nor
those continually coming from other places. Now,
if we apply the same criterion as that applied to
the first quarter of the present year, after deductng
the 1851 passengers. who were citizens, and ge-
nerally merchants Of the United States, (Which
conclusively shows the facts in the case,) shall
have had but 1,l9s who were furnished with
means for the support Of themselves and those de-
pending upon them.
Among the artists are included ''hand-organ
grinders" &C.; and among the others, estimated
as having some kind of professional business, there
were those equally precarious and useless. to say
nothing of the utter impossibility Of by far the
larger portion Of those having good business, or
even of those skilled in business, finding employ
ment, while so many thousands of our native me-
chanics are thrown out of employ.
Thus, then, out of ~ ,643 aliens arriving in this
city in nine months, 46,445, or one IN every thir-
'y-seven, possessed no adequate means to establish
themselves in business, or to ensure success and
support.
|, will be seen that of the above number of alien
passengers, 26,698 were from Ireland, Great Bri-
tain, and Scotland, which exceeds one-half Of the
whole by $3.50. "
The number of passengers from foreign countries
who arrived in the United States during the same
year, viz: 1886, according to the reports Of the
custom-houses, was S0,952
