Tho United states and It's Future

Important tables, statements and figures
in the report Of the Commissioner Of the
Land Office are now out, and as the best
accredited estimates set down tho entire
population OF the United States at about
100, 900, 900 in tho yoar 1900. This gives
for the year 1870 about AZ, $50, 900, and
for 1865, say about 80, ,5Q0,0 900; the pop.
ulation given by the last census being in
round numbers 100000. The total
area, including inland water surface, Of
tho United States, is about three and a
quarter millions of square miles, orabout
two billion acres. Look one hundred
years ahead, and we have the astonishing
| figures of more than 1000, 100000 Of
people living on land at the rate Of on in
habltant to an acre.
The public lands now comprise l,465,-
46S, 500 acres. Of this comparatively
small part lies east Of tho Mississippi ;
90l ,3OS, ,249 acres remain unsurvayed, or
more than two-thirds. There were sur.

In the gold Territories of Idaho and
Montana, there have not yet been any
lands surveyed, owing in some measure
to Indian depredations during the year.
The same causes have retarded the sur.
veyors in other Territories; so in Utah.
Colorado seems to have the lead Of the
gold regions The Surveyor General OF
tha. Territory reports his opinion that 81
her population Of $4,000, half live
by agriculture and cultivate 100, 900 acres
Of land. Arizona shows tie least pros.
perity.
4 law made in July, 1864, introduces
regular system for the promotion OF
municipal settlements. Nineteen cities
have already been founded under its pro.
visions: three in California, eight in Ne.
yada, two in Arizona, two in Colorado,
two in Utah, and one each in Nebraska
and Dakotah.
4 settler in the town can eator but two
lots, on one of which he resides aud the
other adjacent, il he has improved it, nj
no lebs than SO per each lot Of l,200
square feet.
The Secretary of tho Interior has the
power to increase the scale of prices, and
he has fixed for lots over 4,200 feet, but
!. OF exceeding 1900 feet, sl8; over this
and &c. 500 icat or under, $50; and for
larger lots. 81 for every additional 400
feet; for out lots adj joining the town, 8 10
for the first and s5 for every additional
acre. Complaint is made, however, that
By refusing to sell to any but actual set
tiers, miners and other prospective clti-
gems of the town arc prevented from fix
ing their interests there.
In one acre there are six lots, which
ut $40 each would sell the land at $50
per acre. instead Of 81 25 The law, BY
also providing for the reservation of sites.

United States the bepeiit of local pri-

ming, obviously without any discourage
ment TO the mass.

THE BEAUTY OF MARRIAGE.-Eyery
woman should be married to one worthy
Of her. Marriage brings care and ware
but it is the ring which is worn that keeps
bright, and the watch which lies still and
unwound that gets out Of order. The
sweet sympathies involved in the relations
and associations of the family; sthe new
responsibilities--the new compensation
secured for all outlays of strength bring
about a delightful play of all the faculties
Of the heart and intellect which in their
reaction o. the body, have an effect, that in
the end, is nothing but preservatiye. Mott
withstanding the assertions of mathema-
ticians, the marriage ring is the spanning
icircle' which husband and wife have the
problem set them of making all things
square !,

According TO correspondent Of the
Boston Herald, funny little incident
transpired few weeks ago in the domestic
circle of u respectable Portland family
which is too good to keep. He says
The kitchen Of the excellent family 0i
which | speak is presided over By good
looking domestic whom We viii call Mary
Ann, she rejoicing in the attentive deyo-
tions of a manly male servant employed By
a neighboring family, named john
Now such was Johns relations with the
fair Mary Ann-they were engaged just
like anybody's folks-that he was in the
habit of entering his inamoratta' S domains
without the usual formality Of knocking.
And be it known that the lord Of the
mansion had been absent FOR several days,
and was expected home By the evening
train. On that evening the mistress OF
the house sat in her boudoir painting with
expectation at the coming of her husband.
Shortly she heard-or thought she heard
his familiar footstep at the side door
(his usual place Of cntry) and dashine
down the stairs in the darkness she pre-,
cipitated herself into his arms.
There vas an earnest embrace. 4 loY.
ing lingering kiss was imprinted upon the
lips of the representative Of the sterner
sex. He answered not, but pressed her
closer to his heayiEg bosom. How long
this thing would have gone on is not for
US to say, had not an adjoining door been
thrown open by the pretty Mary Ann
with a light in her hand, and what sight
revealed to all three! Mary saw her hand
some mistress in the arms of her lustJ
lover, John; the mistress say net her ex
pected spouse, but Mary AIMS young
man; and John-well, he was so dumb
founded (supposing he was hugging Mary
Ann all the time) that he couldn't see
anything. In the midst of the muddlt
the husband entered, and the tableau vi
want was complete He soon compre
hended the affair, however, and had too
much sense to scold his wife for he
"carelessness," or to keep so good JOKE
to himself, but he never imagined it woulC
get into the papers.

How impotent and vain seom earthly things
Ihave known mon whose souls knew naughs q

Whose eagle eyes blanched not in dangers hour
Whose tears seemed barred with adamantins
chains -
When Deaths chill hand had seathOd their bright

And. peacemsal hurled their tOy'rlng, kaughi,
Sore HCsp as doth babe.
As vhen in storms
OF wrath, the lurid lightning sears, and reads,
And blasts the proud and noble forest OAK
So doth afHcton, leaping from the black
And murky clouds Of woe, quick peel, and blast
And rive, mems stubborn hearts.
Afiiotion dire,
Thou art the mighty tanner of proud souls
Dank Deaths vieegcrcnt and tho iron rod

Hoe bitter is the draft they drink.

TRIALs.-An hour in our life will
surely come when we shall be enabled
to cay that we have not had one trial too
much, no one that could have been
spared; and the heart viii become bur-
dened with the sense Of an awful reality,
a perception of that fact that the events OF
life are in themselves as nothing; that
they are the body destined to decay; yet
that each, however trifing, bears within
it the seed which exists for eternity; and
We feel that we can yield ourselves pas
siyely to any circumstances whether
happy or unhappy neither worrying our
selves with regrets for the future; so only
that the present moment might add its
grain Of faith and holiness to the treasure
garnered IN the hands of God against The
great dag of account. - -

RICH MEMS SoNs.-Henry Ward
Beecher, in sermon delivered at Ply
mouth Church one Sunday evening, pro-
duced the following picture of rich mems
sons:
"Men seem ashamed of labor, and often
you will find men who have made them
selves respected In labor, have built up a
business and amassed fortune, who turn
to their sons and say: "You shall never
do as | did you shall lead a different
life; you shall be spared all this" Oh,
these rich mems sons /! They aim to lead
life of elegant leisure; and that is a
life of emascUlated idIeness and laziness.
Like the polyp that floats useless and
hasty upon sea, all jelly, all fabby, nc
muscle, no bone-it shuts and opens, and
opens and shuts, and sucks in and squirts
out again, of no earthly account, ihfu-
ence or use. Such are these poor fools
Their parents toiled and grew strong
built up their frames to iron and bone
but denying all this to their sons, they
turn them upon the world boneless, mus
cleless, simple grizzle, and soft at that
What if you do get your time reduced tt
eight hours, and wages increased to SIS
does that educate you z" :.

RUsKIN on JUDAs.-In the "Crown
of Wild Olives" John Ruskin thus char
acterizes, in his trenchant style, those
who live only to make money as imitators
Of Judas:
We do great injustice TO Judas Iscariot,
in thinking him wicked above all com.
mon wickedness. He was onlya common
money lover, didn't understand Christ;
couldn't make out the worth of Him, OF
meaning Of Him. He did not want
Him to be killed He was horror-struck
when he found that Christ would be kill
ed; threw his money away instantly, and
hanged himself. How many of our pres
eht money seekers, think you, would have
the grace to hang themselves, whoever
was killed? But Judas was common
selfish, muddle-headed, pilfering fellow
his hand was always in the bag of the
poor, not caring for them. He didn'
understand Christ, yet believed in HIM
much more than most of US do; had seer
Him de miracles, thought He was quite
strong enough to shift for himself, aud hi
Judas, might as we'll make his little per
quisites out of the affair. Christ woult
come out of it we'll enough, and he hav,
the thirty pieces. Now that is the mons,
seekers idea all over the world.
