Summer Days.

In summer when the days were long,
We walked together in the woods;
Our heart was light. our step was strong,
Sweet tlutterings were there in our blood,
In summer when the days were long.
We strayed from morn till evening came;
We gathered flowers and wove us crowns;
We walked md poppes red as tlame
Or sat upon the yellow downs,
And always wished our life the same.
In summer, when the days were long,
We leaped the hedged-row, crossed the brook,
And still her voice flowed forth in song,
Or else she read some graceful book,
In summer, when the days were long.
And then we sat beneath the trees
With shadows lesseuing in the noon,
And, in the sunlight and the breeze,
We ieasted, many gorgeous June,
While larks were singing Ger the leas.
In summer, when the days We're long
On dainty chicken, snow-white bread,
We teasted with no grace, but song.
We plucked wild Strawberries, ripe and red
In summer, when the days were long.
We loved, and yet we knew il not;
For loving seemed like breathing then;
We found heaven in every spot
Saw angels, too, in all good men,
And dreamed of God in grove and grot
In summer, when the days are long
Alone wander muse alone;
see her not, but that old song
Under the fragrant wind is blown.
In summer when the days are long.
Alone wander In the wood,
But one fair spirit hears my sighs;
And half see, SO glad aud good,
The honest daylight in her eyes,
That charmed me in earlier skies.
In summer, when the days are long,
love her AS we loved of old;
My heart is light, my step is strong,
For love brings back those hours of gold,
In summer when the days are long.

she told the story of her married life to Mrs Cal
houn. Mrs. Richardson then passes to Il review
of her acquaintance with Richardson, and his
connection with her case up to the time of her
coming to the room at the same house in Amity
street. Their acquaintance had been very Slight
and formal They had met occasionally at Mrs.
Sinclair's and Mrs Cahouu's, and up to the
goth of January 1867, her acquaintance with
Richardson consisted solely of two calls at the
request of her husband to solicit his (Richard-
Son's) aid in getting Mcfarland place in the
employ of the Pacific railroad company. OF the
Amity street lodgings she says q If | had any
feeling about Richardsons coming to take
room so near Mcfarland and myself, it was one
of aversion, from the fact that he could not be
there without knowing something of my unhappy
life. saw him then often. lie did me many
kndnesses. There was never, prior to my leav-
ing Mcfarland, word, or even look, passed
between us which should not be glad if all the
world had seen and heard On the day of the
separation, February 81, 1867, Richardson told
Mrs. Mcfarland This is n matter in which |
cannot advise you, but what you do shall be
glad to help you in. On the evening of the sep
aration, as Richardson was leaving Sincar's S, he
bid Mrs. Mcfarland goodbye, saying &" | wish
you to remember, my child, that any resposibil-
ity you choose to give me in any possible future,
shall be very glad to take, " and two days after
made formal avowal of his love, he counseliug
her to tell her friends all he had said and tako
their counsel. Richardson wns first shot on the
18th of March, 1867, and then Mrs Richardson
says she heard of the intercepted letter COR the
first time, but never saw it or knew of its con-
tents until it appeared in print. After the
shooting, Mcfarland ritcd all his wifc's cores
pondence, manuscripts, private papers, etc, ap-
propriating letters from Mrs Sinclair and Mrs.
Calhoun, which were read on the trial

THE NINTH CENSUS.
How 1t is to be Taken and who Is to
Take 1t.

Notwithstanding our country has, since the
last census was taken, been ravaged by cruel
remorseless and devastating civil war, which,
for the time being, prostrated almost every
branch Of industry, ruined our commerce and
well-nigh depleted our national treasury, the
ninth census will, without a doubt, show that
we have as nation grown faster in wealth,
prosperity, industry and position than in al
most any preceding ten years Of our history as
o nation. 1t will show far greater develop
ment in our mineral resources of communica-
ton than perhaps any twenty years previous,
while, save in those States recently in rebel
lion, it will present a greater growth, more
rapid expansion and a greater
IMPROVEMENT IN AGRICULTURE,
that great source of nations wealth, than
has ever been attained in 9 corresponding time
in any nation on the face Of the earth.
Considering these facts, greater Importance
becomes attached to the proper and accurate
taking of this census than there did to any OF
the eight preceding.
By an act Of Congress, passed May %, 1850,
the United States Marshals are charged with
the important duty of causing oil the inhabi-
tants to be enumerated, and to collect all other
statistical information within their respective
districts, subject to the instructions of the Sec
retary of the Interior, and to return the same
10 the said secretary on or before the lst day
of November next, ensuing, the work to COM
mence on the first of June. Before marshal
enters upon this duty he must, in addition to
the oath taken when he enters upon his duties
required Of him in enumerating the inhabi-
tants and collecting statistics, DC. Each mar
shal is required to separate his district into
subdivisions, containing not to exceed &c, 000
inhabitants each, and to appoint to each sub
division so divided an assistant, who must, be-
fore entering upon his duties, take and sub
scribe to an oath similar to the one taken by
the marshal The assistants are to perform
the service required Of them by
A PERSONAL VISIT TO EACH DWELLING HoUBE
and to each family in the subdivision assign
ed to him, and ascertain by Inquiries made OF
some member of each family, If any one Gamble
not, then Of the agent of such family, the name
of each member thereof, the age and place Of
birth OF each, and all other particulars requir-
ed, and must, in the rural districts, visit per.
sonaly the farms, mills, shops, mines and
other places respecting which information is
required, and must obtain all such information
from the best and most reliable sources.
One thing worthy of the attention of the
public is that, when called upon by an assis.
tant marshal for information in regard to the
number, persons ages, &C., any head Of fam
lily or agent OF family who shall refuse te
give such information becomes liable to
FINE OF THIRTY DOLLARS,
to be sued for and recovered in an action o.
debt by the assistant for the use Of the United
States.
