An Advertisement. A

Wanted-a hand to hold my own,
As down life's vale glide;
Wanted, an arm to lean upon,
Forever by my side.
Wanted-a firm and steady foot,
With step secure and free,
To take its straight and onward pace,
Over life's path with me.
Wanted-a form erect and high,
A head above my own;
So much that might walk beneath
Its shadows o'er me thrown.
Wanted-an eye, within whose depth
Mine own might look and see
Uprising from guileless heart,
O'erflown with love for me.
Wanted-a lip, whose kindest smile
Would speak fer me alone;
A voice whose richest melody
Would breathe affections tone.
Wanted-a true religious soul,
To pious purpose given,
With whom my own might pass along
The road that leads to HEAVEN.

Keep the Heart as light as you cam.

We have always enough to bear,
We have always something to do,
We have never to ask for care
When we have the world to get through!
But what, though Adversely test
The courage and vigor of man,
They get through misfortune the best
Who keep the heart light as they can
If we shake not the load from the mind,
Our energy's sure to be gone;
We must wrestle with care, or We'll find
Two loads are less easy than one!
To sit in disconsolate mood
Is poor and proftless plan;
The true heart is never subdued,
FIVE keep it as light as we can.
There's nothing that Sorrows can yield,
Excepting harvest of pain;
Far better to seek Fortunes field,
And till it and plow it again!
The weight that Erertion can move,
The gloom that Decision can span,
The manhood within us but prove
Then keep the heart light as you can.
*The Sorrow of the world.

Population of the United States.

Some of our citizens have imagined that
the foreign element in our population would
soon become dominant, and civil and reli-
gious liberty be placed in serious jeopardy.
The census reports put this question to rest;
these reports prove very clearly that the
foreign element is very diminutive and of
the twenty-five millions of our population,
scarce two millions are actually of foreign
birth, and with their descendants included,
they cannot number over four millions souls.
The emigration prior TO 1910 was by no
means large. For thirty years, from 1870
to 1920 it amounted only to 100, 900; for
the next ten years to 1l4,0 900; for the next
to $4,000; from 1880 to 1840 to 234, 900;
and in the ten following years to 1884 900.
During 1851 it has swelled to the incredi-
BILE number of 409, 900.

MISUNDERSTANDING the latest discov-
cries at Nineveh, one coffin was found con-
tanning the body of a lady of the Royal
house; many of the garments were entire,
also the gold studs which fastened her vest.
The most singular discovery, however was
a mask of thin gold pressed upon the face,
so as to assume, aud retain the features of
the deceased.

inhabitants have gone. The emigration

her beauty and magnificent proportions az che IL
probably the largest steamer that has Hoated
on the Potomac.

and the one hundred, or one hundred and hfty in
vited guests who accompany hor, will doubtless
have delightful time.

ex-Presdent OF the Board of Aldermen, and several
members OF the present and late Common Council;
heads OF departments; Charles King, President OF
Columbia College, George Blunt, esq, and many
other persons of note. The press, too, il well
presented, there being editors or attaches OF al
most every paper in tho city on board. We re-
marked, among the rest, Mr.. Crancb from the Hr-

The Lancasterian, Pennsylvania Demo
cratic paper, is very severe in its comments on
the political character Of MIR. BUCHANAN, and
the proceedings of his Jealous friends. 1t de-
MES his right to be considered the choice of the
State Democracy. and charges that the show OF
strength put forward in his behalf is the result
of crafty scheming, and not the reflex of the
party will. 1t reviews the efforts made on
past occasions to elevate him to the Presidency,
and cites facts to prove that then, as now, the
meetings held in his favor were one-sided, and
were neither more nor less than the contri-
vances of tricksters, in whom the majority OF
the party repose no confidence. "'If he is
strong" the writer pertinently asks, "why is
it that now the party is divided on his &C
count? If the people were for him. is it not
reasonable to suppose that unanimity would
be seen in his own county, and throughout his
own readopted State?"
The quarrel is worth watching. as pretty
illustration of the harmony which we are told
pervades the Democratic ranks.

Rotation In Office,

The Baltimore Sun publishes four column
list Of the executive appointments, throughout
the counties, cities, and towns of Maryland,
has inaugurated the doctrine of rotation, in or
der to afford the whole party better opportu-
nifty of sharing the substantial sweets of Office.
Whether the practice will conduce to the I'M
prove.nent of Democratic morality is point to
be determined by time. The only certainty is
that the expelled Democrats, the appointees of
Governor THOMAS, are not likely to relish the
experiment, or to be strengthened in their af-
lection towards their more fortunate brethren.
