Tue EaraRASr QUESTION. exodus

| LIE IMMIGRANT luEsTT0S.-Tha exodus
from Europe to this country is attracting
{ much attention over the ocean. The English
papers are not only exercised in mind oyer
the 'alarming fact that emigrants to the
United States are leaving Great Britain BY
the hundred thousand, but they are sympa-
thizing with ether countries suffering" they
say. from the same cause. Norway is among
the nations which are being weakened by the
emigfant fever. 1t is not over populous, and
the departure Of every strong man from its
confines is a serious loss. The statistics show
that the emigration from Norway in 1861
was S,750--a heavy drain upon population
having no surplus.
The English papers endeavor to console
themselves with the idea that tao-thirds Of
this number will find their way to Canada,
but fear considerable number did not stay
there. This misfortune also happens in re-
gard to the British emigrants to Cunada.-
Eventually large number of them End their
way to the United States Immediately upon
their arrival in the British dominions The
war being closed, and the stability of our
Government made manifest to the foreign
mini, we shall hare larger emigration in
the next year lnnning uron our shores than
in the same period eff time since the Declara-
ton of Independence
As we have before remarked, the over
throw of the rebellion, the settlement of the
question that the United States are able to
take care Of themselves, ard the stimulation
given TO the republican sympathics of the OPP
pressed inhabitants of European nations, will
all have their effect in providing longing
among the HsasantrN and mechanics Of the
old world to seek their fortunes in new. They
will throng the emigrsnt ships, and bring
with them not only health and strength, but
money, with which to -tuy lands or set them
selves up in business or to support them
until they obtain employment While We
carefully watch this flow of immigration into
or country, and nYk the course of com
nSercc; Whilst we ndte the expectation of gold,
and arc eager 10 know the balance of trade
we scarcely ever take into account the amonnt
of money that lis money" for it IS coin
If three hundred thousand emigrants only |
have ten dollars oach,' on the average, when !
they arrive here, the annual amount in specie !
will be three millions Of dollars; if they have
6ftX6ollars each. they bring us fifteen mil |
lions per year. v see, then, that this ques-
ton of emf taticn is deeply interesting one.

Wise Enactments.

An eek Editor in an interesting let
ter to the Springfield Republican from Au.
gusta, Maine, says -
awe have two laws in Maine which I
think Massachusetts, and indeed all the
other States, would do we'll TO adopt. The
first is one enacted at the suggestion of
Gov. Hubbard, in 1851. He was land
still isl an extensive medical practitioner
in the State, and in the course of his jour-
neyings far and near, driving bis own
beast, he realized the n ed of frequent and
convenient watering places on the high.
ways. By his recommen dation, the Leg:
is'ature passed law proposing hat any
person, to the acceptance of the selectmen,
who should set up good tub or trough
by the roadside, into which pure water
should be constantly discharged, and make
1t easily accessible to travellers, should
have an abatement of three dollars on their
taxes every year as long as that conven-
nirnce should be maintained.
The consequence is, now, that you can
not travel far on any principal road in
Maine, where you will not see flowing.
fountain of pure water at which horses and
cattle can refresh themselves and for the
most part, also, you will see tin dipper
hanging from the penstock, by means
of which the human traveller may partake
of Adams ale. The Maine law, you
know, is Maine statute, and Gov. Hub
bard was in offi.e when that was passed.
Another provision Of the law in Maine,
entitled to imitation, is this: Any person
in the rural towns who will set out aud
properly protect rows of shade trees On the
lines OF the road, are rewarded by an
abatement of their taxes. In many
towns, therefore, you will now see high
ways, ornamented and shaded by growing
sugar naples, elm, linlen, and other decid-
uous trees, and in many instances the eff.
feet is much set off by the intermiugling
OF evergreen trees, such as hemlocks, frs,
spruce, cedars and pines Such orna-
ments are not ouly a luxury to travellers
in warm weather, but they enhance the
value Of the contiguous farms.

THE Way you Always Stopped"

The Vermont Record tells good story
of an innocent old lady who never before
had "rid on railroad" who was passen-
ger on one of the Vermont railroads at
the time of recent collision, when
freight train, smashing one of the cars,
killed several passengers, and upset things
generally. As soon as he could recover
his scattered senses, the conductor went
in search of the venerable dame, whom he
found sitting solitary and alone in the car
(the other passengers having sought terra
frma,) with a very placid expression of
countenance, Notwithstanding she had
made complete summ-rsault over the seat
in front, and her bandb * and bundle had
gone unceremoniously down the passage
way.

The son looked down at his now silent
father, and found he was dead The new
king commanded splendid funeral, and
arranged grand hunting party for the
day after. He laughed at the paternal
smile, and, to publish his weakness and
his own felicity he caused to be placed
above his palace a large silver-tone bell,
a rope passed from it to each room which
he occupied. 81 will ring it," said he,

Funerals.

We call attention to the following very
sensible remarks from the Hartford
Press
GA new and very sensible fashion is be-
ginnin to prevail in this city in regard
to funerals 1t is this: The funeral SER
vices are held, he assembly is dism ssed,
and all except the family and other rela
tives of the deceased return to their homes.
Afterwards, the hearse and carriages come,
aud the body is accompanied to the grave
by the family only. This gives the i'm
mediate relatives an opportunity "to take
leave of the deceased, aud to perform the
last office privately; and in the case of
families who are poor, or in only moder-
ate circumstances, it saves much needless
expense. A respectable funeral, economi-
cally managed, now costs SIS to 500,
while if cArriages are provided for all
friends aud acquaintances who choose to
ride, the expense often amounts to $500
or $500 There is no reason why tami-
ly in affection should be called upon to
pay for sympathiziug friends at the rate
of 81 each.
In this city the present cost of hiring
carriages for funerals is from five to seven
dollars apiece. Of course this is no fault
of the livery-stable keepers, who are only
charging in accordance with their increas,
ed expenses But why should mourn
i'm family-ofteu left in very moderate
ircumstances-be put by their sympa-
thiziug friends to the heavy cost of TWEEN
ty or thirty carriages? The new Hart

A GRAND OLD POEM.

Who shall Judge man from manners,
Who shall know him byhis dress2
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt aud dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
Of the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vests could do no more.
There are springs of crystal nectlr,
Ever yelling out of stone;
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overgrown;
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me;
While he values thrones the highest
But as peoples in the sea.
Man, appraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That your meanest kinds are men;
Men by labor, men by feeling,
Men by thought and men by fame,
Claiming equal right to sunshine,
In mans ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are are little weed-clad rills,
There are feeble inch high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills;
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers YOU and me,
For to Him all vain distinctions
Are as peoples in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
Ola nations wealth or fame,
Tilted lazness is pensioned,
Fed, and fattened on the same,
By the sweat Of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifted up it's voice.
Truth and Justice are eternal,
Born with loneliness and light,
Secret wrongs shall never prosper,
While there is a sunny right
God, whose world-heard voice is singing
Boundess love to you and me,
Sinks oppression with its titles,
AS the peoples in the sea
