THE CENSUS REPORT.

The first volume of the quarto edi-
ton of the Census of the United States
for 1850, is now printed. The census
itself was taken on the first day Of June,
1860. The leading facts as to Che pop
ulation and its distribution were pub
lished in the American Almanac and
similar compilations in the autumn of
the same year. On the 21st of May,
1862, we had the preliminary Report
on tho Eighth Census" and the Senate
of the United States on the oath or
dered that $4,000 copies Of it should be
printed. Of these most of the readers
of these lines probably possess. We
have now at last the first volume of the
complete edition.
Now that we have it, we will ac-
knowledge that the arrangement of the
work appears thorough. Mr.. Kenne-
dy's introduction of more than a hun
dred pages is a very curious condensa-
4 ton OF some of the most striking results.
The population of the country, June
/ l, 1860, is definitely announced as 3D.
443, 321.
The nuinlser Of States had increased
in ten years, from thirty-one to thirty
four,-but no new accession Of inhab-
tied territory had been made. Every
State and territory increased in popu-
lation, but this increase varied as
widely, as from one-third of one per
cent, which was the increase of YER
mont, to two hundred and ninety-four
per cent, which was the increase Of
Oregon; and two thousand seven hun
dred and sixty per cent, which was
that of Minnesota.
The ratio of increase in the whole
country is 1904 per cent, in ten years.
The most curious regularity has gov
erned this ratio in the last eighty years.
1t has never been less than 80 and six
tenths per cent, i'll decade, never
more than thirty-six and one-half The
increase of the free-colored population
in the new decade has been but twelve
and third per cent Alr. Kennedy's
statistics regarding the colored race
are curious and fair. Things have
changed at Washington since the cen
sus used to make out that to be free
colored man at the North was virtual
ly to be consigned to blindness, deaf
ness, dumbness or insanity.
If we go on at the present rates the
population of the country in 1900 will
be one hundred million, with trifiing
fraction. The colored increase is SO
slow that the colored race will then be
not one-tenth of the whole. Such
comfort have the croakers of to-day, if
they can only believe that the end of
this century viii ever come,
Some very curious statistics are pub
lshed regarding the military age. 1t
appears that the increase in the year
1861 of the number of fighting men,
from emigration from Europe and from
natural causes here, was as large as
l123, 400. From this we should deduct
the losses by war in that year beyond
the accustomed loss in peace to see the
increase of the national strength in
that year.
The emigration from Europe and
Asia in IL IA years, ending Dec. 81,
1860, is, by one return, 5,062,4
With all necessary deductions, the cor
rect total is probably much over 4,000,-r
4 600 persons, added from foreign coun-
tries to our own population.-Bostont

BURIED LOVES.

IT'S the night before my wedding,
And Memory's beams are shedding
LIGHT DER my boyhood's treading,
Treadings on that sunny shorel
Ara the moon her RAYS - eipging,
Wierd thoughts and shadows bringing,
while to Memory's heart are clinging
The loves / loved of yore.

But voice in sweet dersion
Resounds about my room,
Asbefore my eyes there Frances,
with smiles and roguish chances,
And around my chair there dances,
Those sweethearts of the tombl
ave are thy loves OF boyhood,
OF thy toyhood, Of thy joyhood,
OF thy sweet-remembered boyhooa
Sing these sprites OF spirit-landi
ulnd va, crave to be remembered,
Though earth-yows we have surrendered
And each one a white hand rendered,
With grace serene and bland.
Here trips fairy maiden,
With the rose and lily laden;
On! sprite from Doyhood's Alden,
No more | sigh for thee !
On me her eyes are Bonded,
Smiles with her tears are Dicnutu
Yet a broken VOW ne'er mended,
Floats over Memory's sea
Next comes a form that's queenly,
But she smiles on me serenelyi
Yet her raven ewes still DREAMY,
still DREAMY on me bend -
All, me that sight Of her again
Should wake in grief Loves sad refrain
hear it in Eolian strain
II love thee--ds a friend
Passing years have found me older,
Passing years have found me holder,
Passing years nor find me colder,
Colder to the smiles Of Love;
But the golden dreams OF bovhood
Vanished with the days Of toyhood,
And youth soon found new joyhood
At the feet Of royal Jove
Oh how charming seems the story
OF those sunny smiles Of Glory!
Though old AN /, and boary,
Ii is sweet of it to dream -
Hal again see the battle
Hear the bugle notes, the rattle -
All ike clouds from field Of battle,
Faded Glory's bloody sheenl

Gone are those smiling faces
Gone all those dreamy traces
OF the loves l lov'd so well

Above their messy pillow,
As sigh floats DER the billow-

Farewell, each ghostly shadow
Far down in Memorys meadow,
Where hopes so gay and sad grow,
Is found a silent grot;
In i blooms a Hover so lonely,

That it, modest title only
Is plain Forgei-me-not :"
but anon appears before me,
As Luna's rays glide DER me,
Aform that love has bore me,
Bore me through Misfortunes day;

An Phghted Lore soon chases,
Chases other loves away

Sigh no more for the Unreal;
Far from my bosom be all
Hopeless hopes expelled
AND upon Loves moonlight ocean
shall arise no harsh commotion,
FOR there fingers no devotion
For those Buried Loves dispeied.

sugar, hundreds of dollars worth OF
rhubarb raised near Hartford, will be
lost for want of customers; pies can't
be made of it without sugar, aud so il
is out of the question. Some farmers

CHECKING z ERspIRATloN.--A merchant
in lending a hand on board of one OF
his ships on a windy day, found him
self, at the end of an hour and half,
pretty well exhausted and perspiring
freely He sat down to rest The cool
wind from the sea was delightful, and
engaging in conversation, time passed
faster than he was aware of. In at
tempting to rise he found he was I'M
able to do so without assistance. He
was taken home and put to bed, where
he remained for two years; and for g
long time afterwards could only hob

foundation fer the one than the other.
There are persons who will say, If you
admit that the moon is capable of
drawing n vast body of water to n
heap, why not admit also the POSSIBLE
ity Of her attracting n moisture in II
tree? To these it may be replied,
that the rise OF fall of the sap depends
ON the quantity of heat which reaches
the roots of the tree, and not at all
on attraction. The belief in the moons
influence as regards timber, extends to
vegetables, but we believe the idea to
be less generally entertained in this
country than abroad, whore they act
upon the maxim that root crops should
be planted when the moon is decreas-
ing, and plants, such as peas, beans,
and others, which bear their crops on
the branches, between new and full
moon. Some time ago, a body of sa-
ges had long discussion, and wrote
numerous treatises, to explain why it
was that lump of metal, if laid on
water, would sink to the bottom, while,
if it were beaten ont into sheet it
would float The theories were very
plausible, though they were opposed
to one another At last it occurred
to one Of the sages to suggest that ii
would be well to ascertain by the act
ual experiment if it were really the
fact that the metal would float under
the circumstances stated. According
ly, vessel of water was brought, a
sheet of the metal was laid ON it, and
it very soon lay at the bottom. An
example of the kind is furnished by
Toaldo, the italian metorologist, who,
to account for the belief current among
wine growers, that wine, the making
of which is begun in the old moon
and finished in the new, is never clear
nor of good quality, attributes it TO
the circumstance THAI the absence OF
the lunar rays, by lowering the tenn
perature of the air, checks the fermen-
tation. Now, if it had occurred to
him to expose the most delicate Their
mometer to the full light of the moon
shining with its greatest luster, he
would have found that the mercury
was not elevated hairs breath
neither would it have been if he had
exposed it in the focus of her rays,
concentrated by the most powerful
lenses. This has been proved by act
ual experiment-AH The Year Round.

BEN. BUTLER AS A STRATEGIsT.-The logic
al acumen of Major General Butler is very
generally admitted, and his epistolary cores
pondence while he was in command of New
Orleans is entirely unequalled by any diplo-
matte communications for unanswerable ar
gumentation and pointed application. New
ertheless many of the most enthusiastic adj
mirers of the Generals diplomatic skill, ex-
press doubts in regard to his ability as mill
tary commander, while those who know him
best, claim that BeH's best hold is in strategic
operations, and in combinations of their op-
inions, relate the following anecdete, which
we recommend Mr.. Parton to embody in the
next edition of the Generals life:

of Lowell was removed by death, leaving his
