our FLOWERS.

Go where he VIII just now, the visitor to
our city is struck by the profusion Of beauti-
full. bright flowers offered to his view, trailing
up the walls. and covering the beds of gar
dens, bursting the paper nests, which patient
vendors at street corners would hide them in
lending richer charm to the deep blue
sky. clear atmosphere, and sunny day--clus-
tering luxuriantly amid the glossy green YER
dure of Southern spriug-filling the air
with perfumes, and delichting the careless
passer by--thoughtless, perhaps, whence his
pleasure comes--and better than all, doing
all this for nothing. No seats have to be Sc
cured beforehand at extravagant prices no
sudden indisposition cuts of your budding
pleasure; no axioms of criticism call upon
you to weigh beforehand. whether you will
enjoy yourself or not. You can admire
without stint or cost--for dime you have
a group of colcrs that would enchant Titan,
and mingling of fragrance that wouli be-
wilder Peri,-N o. Pic.

THE UNITED STATES IN 1850.

An article in Hunts Merchants Magazine
for April under this heading. states that at
the rate Of increase from 1910 to 1850. the
population of the United States in 1850
will be 502,7S1.414! while at the average
rate ofincrease from 1890 to 1860, it will be
in 1850 just $50 ,642.797. Taking the nat
ural increase of population only. and leaving
out the increase by immigrants and their
descendants. we have at the average from
1870 to 1850, population of 32l ,6S7 $50
in the year 1850. Going still lower in the
scale, and allowing natural increase of ten
per cent per annum, (two thirds of the nat
ural increase in England Wales. Scotland,
Holland and Belgium between 1900 and
ls40) and emitting increase by immigration,
there is still left l64, S86, 246, as the popu-
lation of 1860.
Well may the article from which this ex-
tract IS mace, be concluded by the statement,
that I'VE are destined to become power for
good or for evil, such as the world has new
or seen. in comparison with which the storied
granduer of the Roman Empire will dwindle
into significance.

VOICES OF THE ARCTIC NIGHT.

We are inclined to think that DR.. Kane s
Lectures upon the Grinnell Expedition are
the lectures of the season The following is
brief but most striking passage from the
report of the first in the course -
The lectures drew vivid picture of the
marvellous scenery and the wild life Of the
polar regions--the strange noise of the break
ing of the ice-now like the whining of a
puppy, then like the calls of distress, and
then again like the booming cannon. The
ice, generally about FIVE feet thick, and
much resembling glass, which before was lev
Ell, is now piled in ridges. and as the masses
are forced upon each other, every variety Of
noise increases. Now, low and plaintive !;
now. shrieking wildly, gradually rising to a
climax of fearful intensity. under which all
language ceases, and then dying away into
the softest cadence-uoises so marked and
oftentimes so regular. that they were rcgar-
ded and called the pulses Of the ice, and from
these voices ofthe ice they were generally
capable of judging Of its movements Enter
ing Bafhn's Bay, and stretched upon the ice
III their buffalo rebes, an officer calls upon
them to hasten up The voices have been
renewed with fearful intensity. the air is FILL
cd with shrieks and bowls. The ice is in
great commotion. On comes the CREST
The crushed ice, piled high by the meeting
Of the flows, gradually nears the brig--all
all the trembling motion--the vessel
trembles from the force OF the continued
shock On it came. now only six yards from
the vessel no word is uttered--now three
yards-now six feet All wait with trem
bling lips, when suddenly the noise and mo-
ton cease They wait for the movement to
be renewed, but no renewal came, and FIVE
months afterwards that immense ridge was
still there, and the vessel still there-a
monument of Gods protecting care and
man weakness
