OcCuPArIoN OF THE AMERICANs.-The
census returns of the occupations of the peo-
pie Of the United States are curious and in
structive. The number of BARRIERS and bro
kers is about the same, and between the two
people oct well shaved There are about
eighty prolessed doctors to one professional
undertaken. Only eighty-two people inform
ed the census takers that they were authors
while no less than two thousand individuals
assumed to be "artists." There are one hun
dred thousand blacksmths, and the same
number of merchants. The lawyers outnum-
Der the bankers by ten thousand, there being
twenty four-thousand of the former and four
teen thousand of the later. The hatters and
the tobacconists are about equal in number
The carpenters number two hundred thous-
and: the masons sixty-four thousand; the tall
ors fifty thousand; the wheelwrights thirty
thousand; the saddlers twentythree thousand.
There are more contectioners than watch
Makers more weavers than teachers more
vinegar makers than showmen; and the same
number of wagon-makers as editors! Strange
to relate that among the returns of the
trades, not a politician is enumerated; and
the table of the professions do not include
single patriot.

Ey- The GROWTH OF WESTERN CITIES is
marvellous. Twenty-Five years ago, Governor
Porter concluded Pottawatamie treaty, on the
site of Chicago and now it is city ofeighty
five thousand population, with at least 100
railroad trains arriving and departing daily.
Twenty years since, St. Louis had less than
ten thousand population, and now it amounts
to one hundred and thirty thousand.

DoN'r STAY LoNG.-It is rarely indeed,
that we have read anything more truthtully
pathetic than the subjoined waif which we
find floating among our exchanges. Would
that every husband in our country might
read and profit 10y it.
"Don't stay long hopI~od." !" said Young
wife tenderly, in my presence one evening
as her husband was preparing to 90 out.
The words themselves were insignificant, but
the look of melting fondness with which they
were accompanied, spoke volumes. 1t told
all the whole vast dephs Of woman's love-
of her grief when the light of his smile, and
source of all her joy, beamed not brightly
upon her?
"Don't stay long husband" and | fancied
| saw the gentle, loving wife, sitting alone
anxiously counting the moments of her hus-
bands absence every few moments running
to the door to see if he was in sight, and
finding that he was not, | thought | could
hear her excaim in disappointed tone, mot
yet"
O, you have wives to say, "Don,t stay long
when you 90 forth, think of them kindly
when you are mingling in the busy hive Of
life, and try, Just little, to make their
homes and hearts happy, for they are gems
too seldom replaced. You cannot find amid
the pleasures of the world, the peace and joy
that "a quiet home blessed with such wo-
mans presence, will afford.
Don't stay long husband and the young
wifes looks seemed to say-for here in your
own sweet home Is loving heart, whose mu-
sic is hushed when you are absent-here is
a soft breast to lay your head upon, and here
are pure lips unsoiled by sin, that will pay
you with kisses for coming back so soon.
