the people are slow; if he have done q
foolish act, 1t was the stupidity of the peo-
pie which impelled it. His wisdom con-
s,sts in carrying out the good sense of the
n alton. His growth in political knowledge,
his steady movement toward emancipation,
are but the growth and movement of the
national mind. Indeed, in character and
culture he Is fair representative of the
average American. His awkward speech :
and yet more awkward silence, his gram

humor an argument and his logic Joke;

MANY Facts in a Small Compass.

The number of languages spoken, 1904.
The number of men is about equal to the
number of women. The average of human
life is thirty-three years. One quarter die
before the age of seven. To every one
thousand persons, one nearly reaches the
age of one hundred years, and not more
than one in FIVE hundred will reach the age
eighty. There are on the earth 1, 900. OOO.-
900 inhabitants. Ofthese about 333, 333.-
333 die every year, 1924 die every day.
$3.50 every hour, and so every minute.
These losses are balanced by an equal num-
Der of births. Tall men live longer than
short ones. The married are longer lived
than the single. Women have more chances
of life previous to the age of Fifty years,
but fewer after, than men. The number of
marriages are in proportion of seventy to
one hundred. Marriages are more frequent
after the equinoxes, that is, during the
months of June and December. Those
born in the spring are more robust tran
others. Births and deaths are more fire.

Hunting a Job and Finding it.

We hear that a young man, stranger,
who halls from the rural districts, visited
this city few days since, in pursuit of
work. On arriving at the Middlesex- street
depot, he accosted the first man he met with,
Il say, friend, can you tell me where l can
get job?"
Yes" replied he. 81 know of frst-rate
chance, one where you can get $500, and
$13 a month";
In ecstasies, the young man Immediately
replied, "You don't say so! Where Is the
placer"
The gentleman directed him TO call at the
church, corner of Central and Merrimac
streets, and inquire for Capt. Weymouth
and he could learn all the particulars.
So the young mau started down Middle
sex street at the rate of 2. 40, with his coat
tail flying in the air, bound not to miss this
fine opportunity. Arriving at the church,
he inquired for the Captain, and wished to
know if he had job for him.
Certainly, sir" replied the Captain ga
good one"
Glow long time do you want to hire
me for?"
"Three years"
"By gracious. how much do you pay?"
-Four hundred dollars down, and SIS a
month"
The young man could not stand this any
longer, so be inquired, 'What is 1t you
want me to do?''
"O!" replied the Captain, shoulder a
musket and fight for your country!"
Then came the reply, after scratching
his head moment, ''I'li do it!'' Down
went his name upon the roll, and no doubt
he will make a fine soldier.-LOlceH Citizen

How TO DRAW TEA-A few years since
the writer took tea with a relative. and was
delighted With the quality of the beverage.
Upon inquiry, it proved that the article was
from the same package used by another
frienl, whose tea always tasted miserably,
and the difference was wholly owing TO the
methods used in its preparation. The last
named person followed the usual plan OF
pouring boiling water upon the tea, which
causes the most of the aroma to escape
with the steam. The other friend adopted
the following process, which have since
practiced. and would recommend Pour
lepid or cold water enough on the tea to
cover it, place it on the stove hearth, top oi
kettle, or any place where it will be warm
but not enough SO as TO cause the aroma Ic
escape in steam. Let it remain about bal
an hour, then pour on boiling water anc
bring to the table.

ARCHBISHOP HUGHES.


We extract the following from biograh-
ical sketch of this great man, in late num-
Der of the N. Y. Independent:
Archbishop Hughes was emineutly self
made man. He exhibited the virtues and
the faults which belong to that class of per-
sons. He was indebted for no facilities of
promotion to the favor of external circum-
stances. He could appeal TO no family OF
social influence in his behalf Not only
was the battle of life to be fought by him
self, but he must find the field of contest by
his own exertions. Thas he early became
confident in his own resources, eager for q
post of danger and renoWn, inspired by a
restless activity. bold earnest, energetic.
| aggressive. Born of obscure parentage, in
the interior of Ireland toward the clio Sc of
the last century, he bad reached the age of
manhood before entering upon a course OF
liberal education. Upon arriving in this
country, when about twenty years old, he
was placed by his father, who had been a
small farmer at home, with practical gar
dener, with view to his foll) wing the bus
mess of a florist as a profession. But this
was soon found to be too narrLw a field for
his ambition. He resolved Ia devote his
life to the service of the Church in which
he had been brought up. and accordingly
repaired to the celebrated Catholic Theo-
logical Seminary of ST.. Mary's, at Emmetts-
burg, Maryland. He was more than TWEEN
ty-seven years of age when he first received
ordination as a priest, and was Immediately
afterwards appointed to the charge of a
parish in Philadelphia In 1880, he was
brought prominently before the public b., a
n n ntrnU 81 -,FE,
John Breckenridge. distinguished Presby
terrain divine, in which he made vigorous
defense of the doctrines of the Catholic
Church. and subjected those of the Protes-
tant faith to an athletic onslaught. The
discussion was subsequently, renewed in an
oral form, and the result, although of course
not of decisive character, marked the fu
ture Archbishop as one of the most siren
uous, adroit, and powerful champions o
Catholicism 10 this country.
Upon coming to New York in 1888, as
8 cOadjutor to the venerable Bishop Dubois
whom he succeeded in 1842, he at once
commenced a series of reforms in the ad
ministration of the Church, which be fol.
lowed up with singularly persistent energy
for several years. He brought order into
the ecclesiastical finances, which had long
been in a state of inextricable confusion, al
though, as was believed by many Catholics
by an unwarIantable stretch of the episco
pal authority. He labored necessarily fo
the promotion of Catholic education, found
ed st. Johns College and Theological Sem
mary at Fordham, and succeeded, by din
of great exertion, and not little politica
engineering. in procuring a change in the
common school system of the state in favor
Of the Catholics. In 1850 he was conse
Grated as Archbishop of New York, anc
since that time, until partially disabled BY
the gradual decline of his health. his offcia
and political career has presented sigma

From the Atlantic.
BARBARA FRIETCHIE.
BY J. G. WHITTIER,

Up from the meadows rich with corn,
Clear in the cool September morn,
The clustered spires Of Frederick stand
Green-walled by the hills of Maryland.
Round about them orchards sweep,
Apple and peach tree fruited deep,
Fair as garden of the Lord
To the eyes of the famished rebel horde,
On that pleasant morn of the early fall
When Lee marched over the mountain WALL
Over the mountains winding down,
Horse and foot into Frederick town.
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in the morning wind the sun
Of noon looked down, and saw not one.
Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
Bowed with her fourscore years and ten
Bravest of all in Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;
In her attic window the staff she set.
To show that one heart was loyal yet
Up the street came the rebel tread,
Stonewall jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat left and right
He glanced the old flag met his sight.
HALT p'-the dust-brown ranks stood fast.
'Fire !'-out blazed the rihe-blast.
1t shivered the window, pane and sash /;
1t rent the banner with seam and cash.
Quick, as it fell from the broken staff
Dame Barbara snatched the silken scarf;
She leaned far out on the window sill,
And sh ook it forth with q royal will.
"ShcOt, if you must, this old gray head,
But spare your country's flag" she said.
A shade of sadness, blush of shame,
Over the face of the leader came;
The nobler nature within him stirred.
To life at that woman's deed and word
"Who touches hair of yon gray head
Dies like dog March on - he said.
All day long that free flag tossed
Over the heads of the rebel host.
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
On the loyal winds that loved it we'll
And through the hill-gaps sunset light
Shone over it with warm goodnight.
Barbara Frietchie's work is Ger,
And the Rebel rides on his raids no more
Honor to her and let a tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewall's bier
Over Barbara Frietchies grave
Flag of Freedom and Union, wave
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law:
And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below in Frederick town.
