~ We find in Judge Rents sentence
OF Peter Kane, for stabbing and kiliinR n
woman, the following remark:-
"Prisoner , your life is safe, but in send
ing .you t o the state prison, the Court will
marx Their seiise of your dreadful con.
duct: and if not punished TO the full ex-
tent the law allows, it is by reason of the
good character you bad previously sus.
taired. To your wife, also. YOU are in.
debtod for II mitigation of your punish.
nent. Her conduct on that occasion bas
excited the admiration of the Court-she
seems to have been to You as a guardian
angel pursuing you, whose conduct waa
more like that Of a beast of prey than n
human being, and striving by every
means In her power to save you from sin
and guilt"

From the American Faymcr.)
POPULATION OF THE UNITED
STATES.

In the "American Farmer" of Aug 4,
appeared u Table of the population of tho
U. States, by the Census OF ls4i. This
is the aggregate afforded by the 9th anu
meration, %decennlalIy taken, since and in.
GLIDING that of 1870. There are some
principles involved in the results of these
tables which demand great attention; some
of which it is thought, would be a%ppropri:
ate to the columns of ON paper, and ac-
~cordingIy have been drawn up and are
submitted TO its readers.
When the census of 1890 was taken,
the newness of the operation, and scatter
ed state of the population, opposed great
difficulties to accuracy, still the aggregate
number given, 3,92D,s27, IS the best docu-
mentary evidence in the case. There
can, however, be little doubt, that the real
number exceeded rather than fell short
of four million in 1890; and assuming that
round number, and dividing it by 3, and
then continually adding the quotient TO
the dividend, the following results are pro-
duced.

Here we find that by d continual divi-
sion by 3, and addition to the q%uotient to
the dividend, allowing the first aggregate
4 million, the difference Of results is only
2l2,l48 between that by such operation,
and that by the actual census. The ratio
of increase during the intervening half
century is SO near 42s, that it may be SAFE
ly adopted, and applying such ratio to
l7,O6s,112, we have for the end of the
next semi-centehnial term an aggregate
of 73,O5I,5I9.
If we adopt the result, l7,O6s,1l2, as
yielded by the census of 1910, and again

BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER aa, tsaI.

w. OF w. G. BY actual ejaculation such
extremes of Int. and long. give IL bearing
from Cape Cannave ral Of n. 20, sd, OF
say N. 81, w. length OF line 1890 statute
miles. This line would traverse Florida,
the southwestern angle OF Georgia, pass
very near vertically over Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Arkansas; thence up the valley
of Arkansas river, and over the southwest.
ernmost sources of Missouri; and thence
traversing the Rocky Mountains, and
higher branches Of Columtia ia, finally reach
the Pacific Ocean.
1t Is only by comparative geography
that we can excite any adequate concep-
ton Of such Il line, as that from Cape
Cannavcral over North America, to in
ciude Queen Charlotte's Island. A line
on the Eastern continent corresponding
in length, would extend from about the
mouth of the EHphrates, or head Of the
Persian Gulf 10 the northwestern part Of
Scotland. Moscow is very near in similar
lat. with Dixon's Entrance or Strait be-
tween the Continent of N. America and
Queen Charlolte's Island; and il two lines
were extended from Moscow, intersectiug
the meridians in the same manner with
that Of the u. States, that to the southwest
ward would reach the Canary Islands,
and that to the norlheustward into nerth-
eastern fndostan. When VIC turn 10 n
general map Of the Earth, and see the
immense sweep of either Of those lines, the
great comparative ~sarlace Of the United
States becomes partially apparent; but its
immensely swells upon our minds as we
advance in the contrastod inquiry.
Measured by the rhombs on not one or
two, but numerous maps, and those of dit-
ferent projections, the entire area of the
U. $. territory amounts TO ~2,257,O0O
square miles miles. Tho mean length
would be pretty accurately measured by
a line from Cape Hatteras to the outlet of
the Gulf of Georgia 5000, admitting u
mean breadth, of $40 miles in round num-
bers. This extensive superficics exceeds
a square Of 1900 miles cach side.
The whole land area Of the earth upon
which any great density Of population
Gun exist, amounts to about 100000
of square miles Of this surface:
Europe contains square miles, 100000

MYLIrE4s LIKE THE SUMMER ROSE
BY RICHARD H. WILDE.

BY RICHARD H. WILLIE.
MY life is like the summer rose,
That opens to the morning sky,
And ere the shades Of evening close,
Il scattered on the ground--to die.
Yet on that roses humble bed
The softest dews of night are shed,
As though she wept such waste to see,
But none shall drop Il tear for me.
NY life is like tho summer leaf
That trelnbles in the moons pale ray,
Is hold 10 frail-its date ls brief
Restless-and soon to pass away.
Yet when that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree will mourn it's shade,
The wind bewail the ~leafess tree,
But none shall breathe one sigh for me
My life is like the track of feet,
Left upon Tampa's desert strand,
Soon the rising tide shall beat,
Their marks shall vanish from the sand.
Yet, az if g~rieving to efface
All vestige OF the human race,
On that lone shore loud means the sea,
But none shall thus lament for me.
Tho above lines are 'deservedly celebrated.
Those below, written in imitation some years
since by Lieutenant r. Emmett IIooe, of the
United States Navy, are equal, II not in beat
ty, at least in power:
MY LIE Is LIKE A SHATTERED ID
any life Is like a summer rose" ar. II. WILDE.
Ny life is like the shattered wreck
~ Cast by the waves upon the shore;
The broken maBts, the rifted deck,
Tell of the shipwreck that is DER.
Yet, from these relies of the storm,
The mariner bis raft will form,
Again totempt the faithless sen,
But hope rebuilds no harque for me.
My life is like the blighted oak.
That lifts its scared and withered form,
Scath'd by the lightning's sudden stroke,
Sternly TO meet the coming storm.
Yet around that sapless trunk will Irvine
The curling tendrils of the vine,
And life and freshness there impart,-
Not TO the passion-blighted heart.
NV life is like the desert rock,
In the mid ocean, lone and drear.
Worn by The wild waves eeaseless shock,
That round its base their surges rear,
Yet there the sen moss still will cling
Some flower will find Il cleft to spring,
And breathe, cen there, a sweet perfume:
For me, life's flowers no more will bloom.
