annual report of the commissioner of sta
tist'cs of Minnesota, under the title Of
" Minnesota, its place among the States
This report is, in fact, an elaborate treatise,
based upon statistical data, upon the geo
graphy, climate, agriculture, commerce,
manufactures, population, wealth, munich
pal administration, and general progress of
the district of country at the headwaters of
the Mississippi and the great lakes, to which
Gov. Seward recently directed attention as
the probable future center of population on
the continent.-N Y World -f
The establishment of a bureau of statistics
by the Legislature next winter, would be
work of the utmost importance and utility
to the people of the State and the nation
at large Such a bureau, if established
might be under the management of the Sec
rotary of State, whose duties are now light,
and who, for a small additional compensa-
ton, could afford the time necessary to keep
up such a work. e

MINNESOTA, IT'S PLACE AMONG THE STATES.
The young State of Minnesota has made
a move in the right direction in the estab-
lishment of a bureau Of statistics. The in
stitutiOn of statistical Offices in the several
States, as subsidiary TO permanent central
bureau at the seat of government, was
strongly recommended by DeBow, the able
superintendent Of the census ofI850. Many
of the States have made provisions for a pc
riodical census, and for regular reports on
particular subjects. Massachusetts,, New
York, Connecticut, Ohio, New Jersey Yer
mont, Kentucky, and Iowa, have made at
tempts to procure certain classes of stats
tics with some degree of regularity and pre-
cision. Although their labors have been
highly useful, especially in the four first
named States, in some important fields of
inquiry the ends of statistical science have
been only partially attained, from the defect
i've methods employed, and from the want
of a thorough system OF registration, to
which a central bureau is Indispensable.
Ohio and Minnesota are the only States
which have organized statistical offices as
permanent departments of the government,
and in both cases the results have been
highly creditabe. Our own city New
York; possesses, perhaps, the most efficient
bureau of statistics in the Union. No better
proof could be afforded OF the utility of such
institutions, especially in the new States Of
the Northwest, than is furnished in the first

Aunt BetseY.

Aunt Betsey was kind-hnarted woman,
ways went wrong with her-she was always
in shot water" The Gather was invari.
ably too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry.
Her friends and neighbours were too kind and
officious, or too cold and neglectful, the
latter, however, seemed to be the case much
more frequently than the former. But not
withstanding her prediction to look on tho
dark side, she was very kind and obging
neighbor. If Mrs. Harris had the rheuma-
tism, Aunt Betscy left her own work, and
kindly uurSed the fretful old lady tn It no.
body else could endure. When Widow
Mill family had the scarlet fever, and all
the neighbors stood aloof for fear of taking
the disease, Aunt Betsey stood by them day
aud night, and not satisfied with her personal
exertons, many comfort aud luxury found
its way from her well-stored closets to the
afflicted family. Little Eddie Wilson, whose
dissipated father often cruelty treated him,
and sent him to school without his breakfast.
received many good bit from Aunt Betsey's
hand. Uncle James, the blind pauper, every
autumn received from her store, soft flannel
garments enough to keep him comfortable
during the winter.
But no one could please Aunt Betsey.-
Sometimes Mrs Wade, the merchants wife,
one OF the kindest-hearted people in the
world, would send her some rarity for din
ner or tea, but Aunt Betsey knew, or ct least
pretended to know, that she intended to i'm.
pose upon her, or that she expected some
great favor in return. If any one did her
kindness, she knew it was from selfish mo-
tives. Ii her nearest friends took any
special pains TO please or accommodate her,
she heartily wished they would not be so
very oficious, she could take care of herself,
they needn't trouble themselves. Ii her
neighbors called upon her often, she thought
they had better stay at home and take care
OF their own affairs; and if they paid less
attention to her, she thought strange how
they could be so cold aud indiffe ent towards
one who had always cndeavored to treat them
well. Thus Aunt Betsey, who possessed SO
many good qualities might have been one of
the happiest of mortals, had she not yielded
to her strong inclination to look on the dark
side. In her youth she cherished a jealous
temper, and this disposition strengthened
with advancing years; whereas, if she had
checked its first buildings she might have
passed pleasant and happy life.
Young friends, strive to crush every devel-
opment Of temper which is unpleasant and
injurious, for the sake of your own comfort,
and tho happiness Of those with whom you
associate. LYDIA E. WE1TE.

The Literary Attractions Of Bible.

God made the BILE as the gu de and ora
Gle of man but had He meant it as mere
lesson book of duty, volume less varied
and attractive would have done. But Je-
hovah we'll knew tat man had more curiosity
than piety, mo taste than sanctty. Hence,
He has furnished book adapted to the mind
oil man. The book is intcrspersed with sum-
mary anecdotes. and with graphic pictures
from patriarchal times. 1t contains inter-
esting history, beautiful songs, sententious
proverbs, prophetic visions, instructive para
bles, lofty thoughts and noble images--a
book of heavenly doctrine, but withaI of
earthly adaptation.
There are many who look upon the Bible
as dry and uninteresting book land who would
never dream of sitting down to read it, as
recreation or an intellectual reat Nov,
though the Bible should be read for higher
and hoier purposes, still We do rot know Of
any other book that surpasses it in noble
images, Sublinlity Of expression, rhetorical
beauty or splendid oratory.
The sixty-six different books of the Bible
were composed by tory different men,
Though guided by the spirit Of God, still
their peculiar tastes and temperaments are
apparent in the volume. For the pensive
there is the dirge of j rcmiah and the cloud
shado% cd DIR ma of job For the sanguine
and hopeful there sounds the blithc voice, and
beats the vain pulse of old GaIilean Peter
For thos9 who are fond Of exploring the Iu-
ture the anocal, Dtic curtain slowly rises
disclosing the events on earth to the end oil
time, bringing to view the pearly gates, and
peaceful streets, and bowers Of sancti y Of
the New Jerusalem.
In viewing the literary attractions Of the
Bible, it seems as if we had come to view
famous palace, and had noticed its towers,
marked its bulwarks, sketched some of its
ornaments; but, after all, the glory is with
in. May we then study the oracles Of Jeho-
yah, for it offers two rewardS-to make US
both happier and wiser. JUvEN1s.

Pleasure for A Child.
Topsham, VI

Blessed be tho hand that prepares plea
sure for child, for there is no saying when
and where it may bloom forth. Does not al
most everybody remembe some kind-hearted
man who showed him kindness in tho day
Of his childhood? The writer of this re-.
collects himself at this moment as barefoot
ed lad, standing at the wooden fence of a
poor little garden in his native village with
longing eyes he gazed on the flowers which
we're blooming there quietly in the brightness
Of Sunday morning. The possessor came
forth from his little cottage; he was wood
cutter by trade, and spent the whole week at
work in the woods. He had come into the
garden to gather flowers to stick into his
coat when he went to church. He saw the
boy, and breaking off the most beautiful Of
bis carnations, which was streaked with red
and white, he gave it to him, Neither the
glver aor toe receiver spose word, and
with bounding steps the boy ran home; aud
now, here at distance from that home,
after so many events of so many years, the
feeling Of gra.itu lie which agitated the breast
oil that boy expresses itself on paper. The
carnation has long since withcred but it now
blooms afresh. -DOugtas JerrOtd.

Work Should End with Life.

We remember to have seen somewhere an
account Of an interview between an aged
disciple and her pastor, in which this sub
ject was forcibly illustrated She had for
some time been, through infrmity, unable to
attend the public ministrations Of the Gospel,
or be In any way, as was thought actively
useful. In the course of conversation be
made the observation that her work was
done. f" 1t is not done so long as my mas
ter leaves me here" "He leaves his chill
dren here to gorify him 10 ld6oring for him. .
And how CAP you labor She then modest
ly related tie fact that for long time she
had been in the habit Of selecting some un-
converted one among her friends, and making
him or her the special object of daily prayer ;
and in no case had the Lord refused her re-
quest. She could count many whom the
Lord had given her in answer to prayer -
When the names Of some of them we're given,
they were among those whom that pastor
thought hal been converted through his own
instrumentaity. These were jewels which
would be set in the crown which the Lord
would give to her. In this, both the aged
Christians and the pastors in the Church
may learn profitable lesson. The former
may learn their responsibility. They have
a work to do, in the performance Of which
they are blessing to the Church. If they
have strengthened in faith as they have 10.
creased in years, they have power with God,
and will prevail wherever they have his
promise to plead. Let all such real ze that
they are left here because it is more ueedinl
for the Church.
