LOVE IN HUMBLE LIFE.--In East Boston, a

maiden wife Of less than twenty years of age.
Her husband and lover, young man of
twenty three, was a mechanic They had
loved each other from childhood and were
to have been married some six or seven
months since, when she was Frustrated by
consumption. Nearly all his leisure from la
Dor was passed at her bedside, cheering her
with prospects of restored health, aud a life
of happiness but the fell disease was too
firmly implanted in her system to leave any
hope of recovery When the physician in
formed her that death was inevitable, she
expressed desire to partake of the Sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper, and her wish was
grat6ed Her lover procured a carriage, sat
by her side, and bore her in his arms to and
from the Lords table. She returned to her
bed never again to cit in life About a
fortnight before her DEATH she said that she
had only one earthly wish ungratihed; she
desired to be united to him who had loved
her SO long and SO truly, in the hope of be-
ing his in heaven. lie conld deny her moth
ing-he married death Bostered up by
her pillows, and supported in the embrace of
her mother, she was united to her lover her
feeble voice was hardly audible in respond
ing to the questions of the marriage cere-
mony. She was his, and said she could die
without regret. From then until she passed
away, she was unable to speak above IL whis
per but she appeared happy, and though
wasted to skin and bone a pleasant smile left
its impress on her face, as her soul returned
to God who gave it.

THE New PLANET VuLcAN.-The telescope
with which DIR. Lescarbault discovered the
new planet nearer the sun than Mercury, is
very small. Its object glass is only four
inches in diameter, with focal length Of less
than five feet, and It is mounted on II wooden
frame which admits of only two motions, one
horizontal, the other vertical. Is has mag
nitying power Of $50 times From Dr. Lescar-
baut's observations, NJ. LIE Verrier concludes
that the new planet revoves around the sun
in 1877 days that the inclination OF its orbit
is II deg 10 min the longitude of its as
cending node. IL deg. 90 min, and that its
mass is one-seventeenth that of Mercury.
This mass is much too small to account for
the anomalies which have been observed in
the movement of Mercury; the supposition
is therefore strengthened that there is a

Gently the scene of an elopement
Lizzie Martin was adopted by the Society
when she was eight years old. At that are
she thought celibacy was very nice ar
rangement. But when she reached the in
teresting age of II she slightly changed her
mind. She encountered pair of black ewes
one day, said eyes being the property Of a
young man named Murray She thought
there could be no harm in those ewes and
wished the owner of them would renounce
the world adopt long waistcoats and take up
his abode with the Shakers ntogetber So
she could see him and talk with him every
day. But the young man did not incline ia.
vorably to long waistcoats, and after he and
sister Elizabeth had had few stolen inter
views she began to doubt the pre- eminent
benehcence of long waistcoats herself The
Shakers learned of these interviews, and in
accordance with the teachings of their be-
lief, tried to prevent her seeing him more -
They meant well, but of course their efforts
were not crowned with success. Quite the
contrary. When young girl gets her mind
made up that young man is about as near
right as he can be, her parents or guardians
may as well "let her went" without any fuss
for she is bound to go.
Recently two friends of Mr.. Murrav-a Mr.
Foote and u student in the law Collepe in
this city-arrived near the Shaker settlement
at the close of the day. They fingered near
until dark, when they passed the house con
tanning the pretty little Shakeress. She
knew of their intended ADVENT and PROMPTLY
answered the signal they gave her. Soon
she appeared in the street and ACCOMPANIED
them to Doane's Corners, where Mr.. Murray
awaited her. The meeting was ardent. The
young lady was attired in her plain Shaker
dress, but that garb could not disguise her
beauty, which is of the dazzling kind The

The result of census of 1860, which was
commenced all over the country on the LIST
of June, has been yariously estimated, some
people calculating that it will show popu-
lation in the United States of thirty five
millions, which is probably too large a figure
The likelihood is that the population of the
country at the present time is about thirty
three millions, which will show an increase
of ten millions since 1850. or about thirty
seven per cent We find that the average
increase each decade since the year 1900 was
thirty-hve per cent-varying from thirty
three to thirty-seven per cent. The same
ratio of increase for the last decade would
therefore make the population of the United
States in 1880 about thirty three millions.

INTERESTING REVOLUTIONARY HIsToEY.-The
Washington National Inteligencer says:
There are often embodied in the Congress
sional documents, connected with private
claims, many curious and interesting facts
relating to revolutionary history and to the
generous sacrifice of individuals in the cause
of freedom. Among such we may mention
the case of Mr.. Haym Salomon, liberal and
patriotic pole. The facts are developed in a
report made by Mr. Shields, from the Com
mittee on Revolutionary Claims in the Senate,
made on the 25th of january last From
documents before the Committee there seems
to have been evidence of debt to Haym Salo
mon at the close of the war to the amount of
1888, ,729, and the Committee accordingly
recommended the passage of the bill to pay
the amount
The claim set forth in this case is that
Haym Salomon, native of Poland, during
the war Cf the revolution largely contributed
of his pecuniary means oward carrying it
on, assisting the agency of finance by frequent
loans of money, and his Obligations from time
to time, in sums varying from S20000 to
$4,000, and contributing to the support and
sustenance of many emiuen. men of that time
engaged in the struggle for independence /;
that this was done without q consideration.
The memoralst alleges that the sum of
100000 was thus advanced by his father.
in addition to various sums gratuitously be-
slowed upon sundry eminent individuals
connected with and holding important offices
in the administration of public affairs.
For some time antecedeut to the Revolu
! tionarv war, Mr.. Salomon had resided in thi,
country, carrying on business as merchan.
and had established that high character fol
probity and self sacrificing patriotism which
as 1896 he bacame obnoxious to the British
government and was imprisoned in New
York, sharing the privations and horrors Of
the sufferers confined in a loathsome jail

FRASER RIvER.-The str Wilson G. Hunt
reached Victoria on the 9th June from Fra.
ser river. The Gazette gives the following
intelligence by her, derived from Jeffrav' 5
Express:
From nearly all parts the miners are
bringing in water into the benches. banks
and gulehes. and establishing permanent
mining. They are finding pay dirt from two
to twenty four feet deep, and getting coarse
gold, from bit to $40 pices, on reaching the
bed rock. In many places the dirt pays all
through. AS soon AS hydraulic washing can
be introduced, which is contemplated in
many places, the mines will rival any of those
further South, on account of the facility of
obtaining water, and the loose nature of the
soil washed.
AT no time has more favorable opinion
been entertained by merchants and miners of
the future mining prospects of the country
than at present
