OUR CENSUS.

The State Census now being taken shows
that the rural districts of our State have
rather lost than gained population since 1860
There may be local exceptions; but we pre-
sumo there is no longer a doubt that the
general fact is as we have stated. We note
attempts to impeach there on the accuracy
of the Census, they seem to us unfoun ded.
At our late Presidential Election, when the
vote was very heavy, the Agricultural Coun-
ties of Allegany, Cattaraugus, Clinton,
Franklin, Fulton, Genesee, Livingston, Rock
land St. Lawrance, Seneca, Warren, Wayne,
and Wyoming gave each smaller vote than
at the less excited election of 1860. Deduct
the increase in the cities and large villages
Syracuse, Auburn, Binghamton, Owego,
Ithaca, Morrisania, Flushing, &c, and we
presume three fourths ofthe Counties in the
State would show like falling of.
The causes are not far to seek, The rural
districts sent the flower of their youth to the
war while the cities eked out their quotas in
larger measure from the ever in-howing tide
of Immigration. Some ofthe Counties draf-
ted once or twice, which sent quite string
of the more malignant Copperheads at full
sneed into Canada, whence they had not re-
turned when the Census was taken. lThey
are all disfranchised by their disloyalty or
cowardice, aud must be spotted at the polls
next Fall. We judge that the migration
hence to the Western States has been less
than formerly; but there is a steady relative
gain of urban over rural population which
we observe with regret. Our youth prefer
to swelter on pavemeuts rather than enjoy
the scope and freedom of the pure, free
country air. They forsake their fathers,
farms to pull teeth or measure tape or chop
logic in some fetid city. We must try to
teach them better.

SPARE MOMENTS.


A lean, awkward boy came ohe morning
to the door of a principal of a celebrated
school and asked to see him. The, servant
eyed his mean clothes, and thinking he
looked more like beggar than anything
else, told him to 60 round to the kitchen.
The boy did as he was hidden, and soon ap-
peared at the back door. m ~ fre p IL
.'You want breakfast, most likely, y said
the servant girl, ''and can give you that

remarked the. servant, again cycling the
boys patched clothes. II guess he has
none to spare, he gives away sight," and
without minding. the boys request, she
went away about her work. -
''Can [ see Mr. ---n again asked the
boy, after finishing the bread and butter. );
'9WeI, he is in the library, If he must be I.
disturbed, he must, but he does like to be
alone some times, said the girl in a peevish
tone. She seemed to think it very foolish
to admit an ill-looking fellow into her mas
terss presence. However she wiped her
hands and hade him follow. Opening the
library door, she said: sr-,-a -
Here's somebody, SIR, who is dreadful
anxious to see you, SO / let him in. ~ edt Q
l don't know how the boy introduced
himself, or how he opened business, but
know that after talking awhile, the princi-
pal put aside the volume he was studying
and took up some Greek books and began
to examine the new conner Everyquestion
which the principal asked the boy was an
swered readily.
Upon my word, exclaimed the rrinci-
pal, 'syou do well, looking at the boy from
head TO foot over his spectacles; Whymy
boy, where did you pick up SO much?''
In my spare moments, answered the
boy.
Here he was, poor, hard working, with
but few opportunities for schooling, yet al
most fitted for any position by simply inn
proving his spare moments Truly, are not
spare moments the "gold dust of time?''
How precious they should be What ac-
count can you show for them? Look and
see. This boy can tell you how very much
can be layed up by improving them, and
there are many other boys, l am afraid, in
jail, in the house of correction, in the fore
castle of whale-ship, in the tipping shop,
who, if you ask them when they began their
ruinous course, might answer, ''in my spare
moments. y
ssIn my spare moments / gambled for
