BY MATTE

Do yon think eecausc II -'tn@ent
That my thoughts are far away?
Mol the scenes OF home are dearcr
Than aught else, this lovely day.
am looking through the sunshine,
Into your dear speaking eyes,
Thinking ofour cherished loved ones
Bending DER us from the skies.
May their presence ever bless US,
Make our heart, forever bright,
Driving off all thoughts Of sadness,
Bring fair visions toaour sight.
And We'll live in hopes dear neither
That far greater joys may come
Than we've ever known my mother
And together we will roam.
Many happy scenes together
We have known my mother dear,
And their memory ever brings US
Happy Thoughts our hi'arts to cheer.
Now when absent from You neither
And my pathway naught doth bless,
Then the hope that soon I'll meet you
Fills my soul with happiness.

CENsUs.-Next year will occur the great de-
Genial census of the United States, made by
the General Government. Persons will be
appointed for every locality in the States and
townships to gather statistics ofthe inhabit-
ants and of all the agricultural productions,
manufactures, etc Each culttvator will be
asked for concise, accurate statement of
land occupied by him, the number of acres,
and the amount Of each crop raised during the
year, ending June 3Qth next. Those who were
called on before will doubtless remember the
difficulty in making up an accurate report of
the various crops. AS these reports will be
called for in June, it will be necessary to give
in the crops gathered this fall, and the sug-
gestion that we would now make is, hat cul-
tivators write down, while fresh in mind, the
number of acres of each kind, the amount per
acre, and the gross amount. The milk prod
uct, also, and the amount of pork, beef, etc.,
will be asked for, as well as all kinds of fruit,
etc.
