o, the Summer Night
Has smile of light,
And she sits on sapphire throne:
Whilst the sweet Winds load her
With garlands of odor,
From the bud to the rose DER blown
But the Autumn Night
Has piercing sight,
And a step both strong and free;
And q voice for wonder,
Like the wrath of the Thunder,
When he shouts to the stormy sea
And the Winter Night
Is all cold and white,
And she singeth a song of pain;
Till the wild bee hummeth,
And warm Spring cometh,
When she dies in dream of rain
o, the Night, the Night
IT'S lovely sight,
Whatever the cline or time;
For sorrow then soareth,
And the lover outpoureth
His soul in star.bright rhyme.
1t bringeth sleep
To the forests deep,
The forest bird to its n est;
To Care bright hours,
And dreams Of flowers,
And that balm to the weary-Rest!

Slavery and Population.

From the National Republican, 30th.
Ofthe IL 1874 square miles of the territory of
Maryland, 4,474 are in the northern counties ad.
joining PENNSYLVANIA, and it is in these last
counties (including Batimore) that nearly all
the increase of population in Maryland, within
a century, has taken place. In the southern
counties, embracing $3.50 square miles (ten per
cent more than the combined area Of Rhode / s.
land and Connecticu) the ent OF popu
lation in sixty years was AS follows:
In 1890. In 1850.
Whites .--l07,75 4 1861
Slaves S43O3 II 938
There was some increase III the number of
free negroes, so that upon the whole, aggregate
population re mained about stationary during
this term of sixty years. as it has since, and as
it probably during the twenty years preceding
1890 There was no prior census taken, but
the Maryland authorities infer from the number
OF " taxabes' and "poes' reported to the Con
tinental Congress by the delegates from Mary
land. that there was very little increase of any
class of population from the commencement OF
the revolutionary struggle down to 1890.
What is true of Maryland on the Chesapeake

Dominion" as it is distinguished from the re-
nainder IF the State, by the inhabitants, Alum

If some new towns have thriven, old ones have

constitutes nearly the whole, has remained sta
tonary in numbers
But TO remain stationary in this busy and
moving world is to retrograde, and this region
upon the Chesapeake pronounced by Gen. Wash
ington to be the most desirable in the United
States, and in his day the seat Of comparative
afiluence, numbers and power, produces now,
upon the thousands from the populous North
who behold it, the impression Of an unlnhabited
and abandoned country.
The cause Of this comparative decadence IS
natent to all men, 1t is negro slavery, which
ought to have been put an end to long ago,
and would have been but for the ascendancy of
politicians, who have debauched a Christian
people into an avowed adoption of the theory
that communities can thrive upon the detesta-
BILE business Of breeding men and women for
sale What is to be done, is to put these poll
ticjans down, and now is the time to do it.
