FACTS AND NOT FAXCY.-It seems TO US
when we come to look facts calmly in the face
that we entirely too much disparage our own
country. iu population and solid importance, in
comparing it with nations of Europe. Sup
pose. for instance, we take the United States
census for 1850, what shall We see?
Firstly, that the population of the nineteen
Free States of this Union exceeds that of all
Spain, of all Prussia, of all Turkey, or if Ken
lucky be added in, that Of all England or
Wales.
Secondly, that the cities of Brooklyn, and
New York alone contain more people than
all Greece or all Tuscany, or all Finland or all
Norway.
Thirdly, that New York State contains
more people than all Holland, or all Sweden,
ar all Portugal.
Thirdly, that Pennsylvania has population
exceeding that of all Saxony, or all Switzer-
land. or the Roman States.
We might institute more comparisons, just
as striking, but these will be sufficient to show
that wien we speak of the nations OF Europe
we are very apt to indulge in an exaggerated
idea of their several populations, and TO forget
the magnitude of our own n Y. Sunday

Mutual Forbearance.

The kindest and the happiest pair
VIII find occasion to forbear,
And something, every day they live,
To pity, and perhaps forgive.
But if inlirmities that fall
In common to the lot of all
A blemish, or a sense impaired
Are crimes so little to be spared,
Then farewell all that must create
The comfort of the welded state;
Instead of harmony, It's jar,
And tumult and intestine war.
The love that cheers life's latest stage,
Proof against sickness and old age,
Preserved by virtue from declension,
Becomes not weary by attention;
But lives, when that exterior grace
Which first inspires the flame decays.
'Tis gentle, delicate and kind,
To faults compassionate or blind,
And will with sympathy endure
Those evils it would gladly cure;
But angry, coarse and harsh expression
Shows love to be mere profession;
Proves that the heart is none of his.
Or soon eXpels him if it is.-[Cowper.

Be Happy While You May.

Oh. sigh not at each petty care,
That crosses life's rude way;
The morn of life viii soon pass by
Be happy while you may.
The pen of Time right steadily
Full many line will trace,
And soon enough the blooming rose
VIII pale upon thy face.
Then think not of the tiny clouds
That mar life's fitful sky;
'Tis time enough TO think of them,
In the coming bY-and-by.
When real cares around thy path,
And real woe is thine
When clouds completely hide the sun,
Which no more seems to shine
Then is there cause for fearful prayer;
Then is there cause for grief,
But then the soul need not despair,
For Heaven affords relief.
But while the light of joyous youth
Still animates the eye,
The heart should be as light as air,
And never know sigh.
Oh! many scene of grief and pain
The future will disclose,
As slow the veil is thrown aside,
That many hope o'erthrows.
The future to the eye of youth
Seems full of sweet delight
Peopled with forms of joy and love,
And fancied visions bright.
Too soon, alas upon the scene
Comes jealousy and strife;
And slowly do we learn the dread
Realities of life.
Then leave dull signs for coming years,
And sing life's morn away;
Smile at each trifiing cloud you see
Be happy while you may.

Observing that only one man was in sight,
Captain William Brown, who had stopped 10

made flank movement on the Chivalry.

he ordered the bombardment to be commenced
Immediately but as all the powder had been
placed on board a vessel which could not ar
rive under two weeks, it was determined to
take possession without combustion. Finding
himself master of the situation, Captain William

THE FIRST SAW MILL.-The old practice,
in making boards, was to split up the logs with
wedges, and, inconvenient as the practice was,
it was no easy matter to persuade the world
that the thing could be done in any better way.
Saw mills first used in Europe, in the fifteenth
century; but so lately as 1906, an English
ambassador, having seen a saw mill in France,
thought it novelty which deserved particu-
lar description. 1t is amusing to see how the
aversion of labor saving machinery has always
agitated England. The first saw mill was es-
tablished by Dutchman in 1868 but the
public outcry against the new-faDgled machine
was so violent that the proprietor was forced to
decamp with more expedition than ever did
Dutchman before. The evil was thus kept out
of England for several years, or rather genera
tions but in 1898, an unlucky timber mer-
Chant, hoping that, after so long time the
public would be less waichful for its interests,
made rash attempt to construct another mill.
The guardians of the public welfare, however,
were on the alert, and conscientious mob at
once collected, and pulled the mill to pieces.

Process Of Dying.

So prevailing is the dread of death that it
hes been called the King of Terrors." There
are many things in connection with it which
We know to be trying, and TO these known
trials we attach agonies unknown. Hence We
invest death with numerous strange and mystic
rious terrors, by which all our lifetime we are
held in bondage.
1t is, however, quite possible that our iulag.
ination Of the evils os the pangs Of dissolution
exceed the reality, and that when " the pains,
and groans, and dying strife, come to be actu-
ally encountered, they will prove much less
awful than We have feared. Touching this
subject, the following, from an article in the
London Quarterly, viii be found comforting
and instructive
The pain of dying must be distinguished
from the pain of the previous disease, for when
life ebbs sensibiliiy declines. As death is the
final extinction of corporal feelings numb
ness increases as death comes on. The pros
tration of disease, like healthful fatigue, en-
genders a growing stupor-a sensation of
subsidiug into coveted repose. The transition
resembles what may be seen in those lofty
mountains, whose sides exhibiting every climate
in regular graduation, vegetation luxuriates at
their base, and dwindles in the approach Of
the regions of snow, till its feeblest manifesto
tion is repressed by the cold. The so called
agony can never be more formidable than when
the brain is the last to 60, and the mind pre-
serves to the end a rational cognizance OF the
state of the body. Yet persons thus situated
attest that few things in life are less painful
than its close,
" If had strength enongh TO hold pen"
said VIM. Hunter, I" would write how easy
aud delightful it is to die
Z" II this be dying" said the niece of Newton
of Oney, it is pleasant thing to die"
Similar words have so often been uttered
under similar circumstances, that We could fill
pages with instances which are only varied by
the name of the speaker.
