From this |, appears that there we're in the last
period 1876 deaths of males and females to every
100 births. The proportion Of births and marriages.
in the same periods of 10 years shows also q dimin'
ution of from 500 per cent. to $40, the average
being 4Sl and the ratio Of f~ecundity in tho Soci-
ETY. was less than 10 the general population. The
secession OF the males, from various causes, from
the Society is greater than that Of the females, in
the proportion, in 1887, Of Isl per cent. Of males
to 10 Of females. These secessions are the prin'
cipal cause Of tue decrease Of the Society, and
produce a larger prcponderance Of females among
.Quakers than among the general population. Not
withstanding the decrease Of the body. the average
mortality Of individuals is considerably less than
that Of the other members Of the community, and
it appears that, contrary to the general rule, the
males are longer lived than the females. This was
partly attributed by Mr.. Fox to the neglected train
ing Of the female children, but it was afterward'
observed that it may Se attributed to the more
regular habits of the male members of the Soci'
ETY. as compared with other portions Of the male
population. The expectation Of life in the general
population at five years of age was stated to be-
males, 500 years females, so and at ~ years
10 and 40.8 whilst among the Society OF Friends
the expectation OF life at five years OF age Is mares
53.S females, 52l and at 20 years OF age 10
70. The conclusion to be drawn from MIR. Fox's
paper, therefore, are that the Society of Friends is
fast decreasing. by secession and by deaths that
the secessions of males exceed those of females,
and that the deaths Of the latter preponderate f;
that the operation of the former cause occasions a
larger proportion of females in the Society than oil
males, and that the marriage rate and the ratio OF
the f~ecuudity are less than in the general popula'
ton.
A short discussion took place at the conclusion
of the paper, in which Mr.. Nelson, Mr.. Hodge,
Mr.. Farr and Colonel Sykes took part. The latter
observed that interesting statistical information al
forded bJ Mr.. Fox showed that that valuable body
the Society of Friends, would ere long become ex
tinct if it continued decreasing at the same ratio
"a since 1920, and Mr.. Farr stated that it had been
estimated that, if this rate Of diminution contin'
ued. there would, at the expiration of 200 years, be
Ioply one Quaker left in the United Kingdom.

TEMPERANCE IN RUssIA.-Temperance seems to
be making progress among the peasantry in Rus
STA. A communication from the Governor of Kov-
no, in the Indicateuu Economique. states that the
peasants of that government took an oath in the
churches three months ego not to drink brandy for
the future and they have fully kept their promise
ever since, Notwithstanding the seductions Of all
descriptions which the tavern keepers have thrown
in their way, and although strong drinks have
considerably diminished in price. The taverns
and public houses. which formerly sold 60 vedros
Of brandy in the month. can scarcely dispose of
Eve at present in the same time. even in good 10.
%calities. Many proprietors think of renouncing
the distillation Of spirits, formerly 50 profitable.

OUR CoUNlRYMEN ARE DYING.

Our countrymen are dying
Beneath their cankering chains,
Full many q heart is signing,
Where nought but slavery reigps,
No note Of JOY and gladness,
No voice with freedoms lay,
Falls on them 10 their sadness,
To wipe these tears away.
Where proud Potoma, dashes
Along its northern strand,
Where Rappahannock lashes
Virginia's sparkling sand;
Where Eutaw, famed in etory,
Flows sv if to Santee's stream,
There, there in grief and CORY,
The pinirg slave is seen
And shall it always be 30,
Descendants Of the freef
No! let the shout for freedom
Ring out a certain peal;
Let sire and youthful maiden,
All who have hearts to feel,
Awake and with the blessing
OF him who came TO save,
A holy, peaceful triumph.
Shall greet the kneeling slave

with the Indian Big Foot, a chief of the Wyandot
tribe-a man Of herculean strength, and an invet.
crate foe to the white man.
I'm July, 1882 Big Foot and his four brothers
were committing depredations in the vicinity in
which the Poe family lived, and the brothers. An
drew and Adam, in company with others, turned
out to rout them. Andrew Poe had q hand to-.
hand encounter with big Foot and proved him
self the best man of the two. Big Foot was shot
by Adam Poe, who cam to his brothers aid, and
by this death the Indian difficulties in that section
were forever quieted."

the time of his death, had nearly attained sixty.

George was the eldest, Andrew the second, and
Adam the third son. In accordance with the old
law Of primogeniture in vogue in those days, the
family property fell to the eldest son. George
Poe was a very wealthy man. and the father o!
the much lamepted and brilliant Edgar Allen Poe,
who was a first cousin Of the subject of this
sketch. '

superb work, the Birds of North America, by Au.
dubon, to be afforded at half the price of the frs;.
The original copper plates were somewhat damag'

great skill and success, by Mr.. Bien, a German
artist, and afterwards solored from the original
drawings of the elder Audubon, still in the pos
session of his family.
The work is issued to subscribers at ten dollars
the number. each number containing ten plates.
The publication will include seven volums Of LETT

Mr.. Audubon, the author Of this great work
which hes done so much honor to our country, was
never properly rewarded for his labors.

THE RED RIVER VOYAGEUR.
BY JOHN C. WHITTIER.

BY JOHN C. WHITTIER.
Out and in the river is winding
The links of its long red chain
Through belts of dusky pine.land,
and gusty leagues of plain.
Only, at times, a smoke. wreath
With the drifting cloud rack joins
The smoke of the hunting lodges
Of the wild Assiniboins.
Drearily blows the north wind
From the land of ice and snowj
The eyes that look are weary,
And heavy the hands that row.
And with one foot on the water.
And one upon the shore,
The angel of Shadow gives warning
That day shall be no mere.
Is it the clang of wild.geesef
Is it the Indians yell,
That lends to the voice of the north wind
The tones of a far.off bell?
The voyageur smiles rs he listens
To the sound that grows apace
WeR he knows the vesper ringing
Of the bells of St. Boniface.
The bells of the Roman Mission
That call from their turrets twain
To the boatman on the river,
To the hunter on the plain
Even so in our mortal journey
The bitter north.winds blow,
And thus upon life's Red r YER
Our hearts, as oarsmen row.
And. when the Angel Of Shadow
Rests his feet on wave and shore,
and our eyes grow dim with watching,
And our hearts faint at the oar.
Happy is he who heareth
The signal of his release,
IL the bells of the Holy City,
The chimes of eternal peace!
