The CENSUS OF lS50.-The editor Of the
Republicans been looking over the returns
of the census Tor 1850, and finds them thus
gull and interesting. II says f-
Hereafter, wherever an American may pre-
sent himself throughout the lanj, the simple
acknowledgement Of his name and former
abode will enable any one who has access TO
the census returns 10 tell with almost unerr-
ing accuracy the names Of the members OF his
immediate family, their pursuits in life. their
pecuniiry condition, &c. To Illustrate this
we will select few examples, copied from
some oil the returns which the supcrinten-
dent kindly permitted us to examine.
We open at The returns Tor the nineteenth
ward OF Baltimore, and our eye rests upon
the l223d dwelling visited, but it is occupied
by the l443 family. This shows Us that, SO
far as the deputy marshal had gone Into that
ward, there were 220 more families than
dwellings,, and the particular Instances in
which "a dwelling contained more than one
family are shown in the places where the
| names of those families occur. The dwelling
we have selected is occupied by widow lady,
aged fifty years. She owns 81 900 worth
of real estate. Her daughter Fanny is p
years old her son William is seventeen, aud
a clerk by profession. They are all natives
of Maryland. No death and no marriage has
loccurred in the family within year. They
can all read and write, and none Of them are
deaf dumb blind, idio,c, or pauper, nor dc
they own any slaves, nor produce anything by
manufacturing or agriculture. Al s per cent
their real estate will yield them $3.50. Here
then, is a satisfactory acccuat oil the inhabi-
tants OF this house.
We open the schedule in which is written
= down the products Of industry. We find thai

which they pay $500. and $1,000 handles

operatives, to whom they pay $500 pc

CHANSON,


Sing, sing to me that song again,
That song loved of old to hear
Its tuneful numbers thrill the ,,rain
With thoughts of many buried year.
YOUTHS rosy painted dreams again
Come back in that familiar strain;
And Fancy's visions WOO the mind fceire
With charms methought could ne'er de
Ere Hopes outrageous sun declir'd
And had sadly learned 10 grieve.
Sing, sing-its liquid numbers wake
Heart-echoes bound in silence long,
Time prisontd loves that answer nuke
Unto the magic voice ofsong.
Now busy memories haunt my breast,
The past disturbs the bosom's rest;
And comes from some celestial sphere
One who in youth and beauty died,
Ard her angel spirit whispers near,
That she in heaven will be my bride

secret of incubation, from which results the

TERRIBLE VoyAoE.-lt was grand spec
tacie yesterday to witness the gallant Hoosier
State No. 2, combating the winds and waves
of the raging creek which heaves before our
windows. The horses were fully reefed, that
is whipped up" and the old pilot stood at
the stern oar. The weather-beaten skipper,
who with unblenched check had braved even
greater perils than those which now threat
ened clung to the tafirail, and gave his or
ders cooly as though he had been command
ing 'dug-out" on Pigeon Greek in dead
calm. Above wind and waves his commands
rang like the clarion notes Of tin trumpet.
"Reef up the main horse. Clear away the
trace. Have whip wove at the iore-yard
leg OF old Blacky. Helm up-luff! Hard
alec. Clew up the larboard- eandruped's
tail, and lash hard the starboard horse-er.-
Steady-a-port."
The firm and ready cay, ay!" was borne
back by the wind. IA the orders were obeyed
with lightning speed. and defying the terrible
pillows, the brave vessel touched the beach
while the skipper hove in his jaws half yard
of pg-tail with great satisfaction.

U-Jenny Lind is once more among US
God bless her and we wish we had more
defereniial medium than paragraph where
with TO announce her movements Tor she
should scarcely be named but in blessing or
a prayer. Instead of criticism upon her
voice, Ur her successes let Us record new
act of her angelic benevolence--whirh she
has siriven with all her ingenuity to keep Sc
|cret, but which came to us through private
source, automatically, though ny the merest
accident-and so prepare, once more. the
hearts of her audience to hear her. During
her first visit here, Swede called. and sent
up a note in his native language. requesting
to zee her. She did not remember the name,
as she read il, but when the young man came
in. she AT once remembered his countenance-
an old playfeIlow when they were children
together al school. She enquired his circum-
stances. He is cabinet-maker, residing with
his wife and children at Brooklyn. The mex
day Jenny Lind drove over and made the
wife Of her old schocl-fcIIow long visit
Again the next day, just before leaving the
city for Boston, she went again. The hus-
baud was not at home. She gave to the
wife Tote for hiin-he opened it on his re-
turn = it contained sweetly worded request
that he would allow her to give to his chill
dren a memenio of their fathers school,
friendship with Jenny Lind. The " memen-
to- was check TOR ten thousand dollars
This anecdote, we assure our readers, is cor
rect in all iis particulars.
The tasIionabes say it is impossible to get
a visit from Jenny Lind. 1t reminds US

we have sometimes seen :-'' The RICH drdp
