GROWTH OF TIE UNION.

The census of 1850, as compiled by
DR.. De Bow. develops some wonderful
and interesting facts in regard 10 the rap
id growth and extent Of the States. In
1901, the colonies contained population
of only 26j,000 souls. In l749 another
estimate was made, and the result was
population Of l.046O00. In 1775 the re-
port was 803,0O0-being nearly 3OO,-
900 less than the present population OF
New York In 1850, under the first
census, the population was 4,929 027.-
There were seventeen States and terrific
rial governments; in 1900, twenty.one
States and territories; in 1910, twenty
five; in 1920, twenty seven; 1880, twenty.
eight; in 1880, Thirty; and in 1850, thirty
six. We have now thirty nine, having
added 10 the list Nebraska, Kansas, and
Washington.
Our territorial extent says Mr.. De Bow,
is nearly ten times as large as that OF
Great Britain and France combined;
three times as large as the whole OF
France, Britain, Austria, Prussia, Spain.
Portugal, Belgium, Holland and Denmark
together; one and half times as large as
the Russian Empire in Europe; one sixth
less only than the area covered by the
| EEy-ninc or Siriy Empires, States, and
Republics in Europe; Of equal extent
with the Roman Empire, or that Of Alex
ander, neither OF which exceeded three
millions of square miles. We have an
ocean and gulf shore line Of 1909
miles, an island shore line Of 9 247 miles,
tidal flow Of 1913, an inland river
steamboat navigation of A. 355 miles

TRAVELLING IN RUSSIA;
OR,
ERICK'S DEATH BY TIE WOLVES.
A TOUCHING STORY.

It was q stormy night in the month Of
November that a Russian nobleman.
called Baron Jarosaleo, his wife and their
little. daughter Helena. and favorite SER
want Erick, in a heavy travelling chariot
and tour, driven by two Positions, drew
up to the only inn of the little town OF
Kebrn, which lies on the borders of Rus.
sia and Poland. They were returning
from their travels in Europe, and as the
Baron had already overstayed the time
he had intended to be absent from home
and the weather was every day growing
worse and worse, he was anxious to press
forward with all the speed possible. The
fur caps of the Positions, the long names
and tails OF their horses and even the
rough leathern portmanleaus were white
with frost; clouds of steam arose from the
weary beasts as they were unharnessed,
and the landlord coming up TO the door oI
the chariot, observed, that his honor
would not think of proceeding any fur
ther.
Not if | were at liberty to follow my
own inclnationS,' said the Baron; but as
it is am pressed for time. and we must
get over another stage to night
1T isa long one, sir said the landlord,
thirty versts at least, and you have the
forest of Roster to pass. There the road

deep, and the wolves are getting hungry.
Oh, | am not afraid OF the wolves,
cried the Baron, they would not dare to
attack carriage so early in the year as
this. Let US have four good horses, and
we may be in by nine, Ior it is not more
than halfpast slx.'
We'll, sir, wil'ul man must have his
own way. only hope you may moi
repeat your determination. Horses on

So cup of spiced wine was brough
for the travellers, and Erick had a double
portion. lie sat wrapped up in huge
fur cloak, on a low kind of box in front
for the Baron'S carriage, though old fash
ioned, had been built in England. In
few moments the fresh horses we're har
messed, the Positions cracked thei
whips, and amid the thanks and gooC
night of the landlord the carriage rollet

ferred to several passages of scripture
to all of which the lady seemed very at

on perceiving this, wrote with aPencl

Mr.. B.-Yes. Mr.. s., it is a fundamcut-

Mr. B.-Although backsliding is much
to be depIored, still if he sincerely re.

the Church will receive him again.
Old Swell, s'pose he again kicks
out the traces second time. for you

Mr.. B-Notwithstanding all this, if
he will seriously repent and solemnly
