The revised census of New York city, which
Is now being taken, may show the first emu
meration to have been imperfect, and give n
larger increase in the State at large since 1860
than is shown above. According to the census
taken in 1865 by State authority, the population
of the State was 3,S3l.777, a decrease of
4S,95S from 1860 to 1865. If the enumeration
of 1865 was correct, the increase in the past
five years has been $50, 069, or 14'07 per cent.

JONESBOROUGH, TENNESSEE THURSDAY DECEMBER L. 1s
Let us Help one another.

This little sentence should be written
on every heart stamped on every momory.
1t should be the golden rule practiced not
only in every household, but all through
the world. BY helping one another we
not only remove thorns from the pathway.
ard anxiety from the mind, but we feel
a sense of pleasure in cur hearts. knowing
we are doing duty to a fellow creature.
A helping hand or encouraging word is
less to us yet it is benefit to others
Who has not felt the power of a little sem
tence? Who has not needed the encourage
ment and aid of kind friend? How sooth-
ing when perplexed with some task that is
mysterious and burdcnsom, to feel a gen.
tie hand on the shoulder and to hear u
kind voice whispering '.Do not feel dis
couraged, see your troubles-let ME help
you" What strength is inspired, what
hope created, what sweet gratitude is felt,
and the great difficulty dissolved as dew
beneath the sunshine. Yes, let us help
one another, by endeavoring to strengthen
and encourage the weak and lifting the
burden of care from the weary and opprcs-
sed, that life may glide smoothly on and
the fount of bitterness yield sweet waters
and He whose willing hand is ready to
aid us will reward our humble endeavors
and every good deed will be as ''bread
cast upon the waters to return after many
davs," if not to those we love.

Ahead Of Everything.

In Liverpool, England, one morning,
not many months since, young lady,
evidently bereft of relatives and friends,
called at the police court and solicited an
interview with the magistrate. Her deep
mourning robes, the fair, pale cheek, with
Just the faintest tinge of the rose upon it,,
showed that the death angel had beguild
from the living some one she loyed-in
short, she was widow, and pretty as heart
could wish. 1t was, therefore, with a
touch of pity in his great strong nature,
aud gravely polite, that the magistrate ap-
preached, and inquired in what way he
could serve her. q wish to have a per-

Husband and Wife.

Let the husband be the true and pure
guardian of his family, laboring always to
adorn himself with the gOd-like gems of
wisdom, virtue, and honor let him bear
himself in relation to his wife with gracious
kindnest toward her faults, with grateful
recognition of her merits, with steady SYM
pathv for her trials, with hearty aid for
her better aspirations, and she must be OF
vile stock if she does not reverence him,
and minister unto him with all the graces
and sweetness of her nature.
Let wife, in her whole intercourse
with her husband, try the efficacy of gen
tleness, purity sincerity. scrupulous truth,
and meek and patient forbearance, an in
variable tone and manner of Difference,
and if he is not brute he cannot help
respecting and treating her kindly; and
in nearly all instances he will end by low
ing her, and living happily with her.
But if he is vul gar, and vicious, despotlc
reckless. so as to have no devotion for the
august prizes and incorruptible pleasures
of existence if she is an unappeasable
termagant, or petty worrier, so taken up
with trifing arrogances that wherever she
looks the blue rotunda of the the universe
sinks into housewifery room,' if the pre-
sence of each acts as morbid irritant on
the nerves of the other to the destruction OF
comfort and the lowering of self respect,
and the draining away of peace and
strength, their companionship must infalll-
bly, be companionship in wretchedness
and loss
The banes of domestic life are littleness,
falsity, vulgarity, harshncss, scolding voci-
feration. an incessant issuing ofsupertiuous
prohibitions and orders, which are regar-
ded as iinpertinent interferences with the
general liberty and repose and arc provo
cative of wrangling or exploding resent
ments. The blessed antidotes that sweet
en- and enrich domestic life are refnements
tempers, forbearance from all unnecessary
commands or dictation, and allowance
of mutual freedom. Love makes obedience
lighter than liberty. Man wears a noble
allegiance, not as a collar, but as garland.
The graces are never so lovely, as where
they thus dwell together; they make
heavenly home.

Greeley, Colorado.

One of the most interesting social ex-
periments now being tested in this country
is that of Greeley, in Colodrado territory.
This place is yet in its infancy, having been
only staked off last April. 1t is an effort
to test in degree the correctness OF CO.
o ooerative theories. The site was selected
after careful consideration and inspection
of the relative advantages of many locali-
ties in Kansas. Utah and other sections.
1t belongs to and is located on the lands
of a colony composed of seven hundred
members. who each paid in one hundred
and fifty dollars, and together they own
over fifty thousand acres of land. The
colony has dug two irrigating bitches. at
cost of $4,000; has laid out the beauti-
full town of Greeley, and has set out a
large number of shade trees, maple, oak,
elm and ash, brought from the East. and
also planted many fruit trees and shrubs.
They have also dug two large lakes in the
center of the town, which serve as reser-
voirs, and have made many other improve
ments. Of the land purchased square
mile has been set off for the town. and the
rest of the lands have been divided into B.,
10, 20, 80. 40, 60, so, 100, 12O, 40 and
100 acre lots. The five acre lots imme-
diately join the town, and the one-hun-
dred and sixty acre lots are furtherest OFT.
Each member of the colony received one
of these lots for his one-hundred and fifty
dollars. The town was divided into SIX
hundred and sixty residences and four
hundred and eighty. three business lots,
while eighty-one lots were reserved for
pubiic uses. Each member can purchase
a residence and business lot at the min
imum price of fifty dollars for corner and
twenty-five dollars for inside lots, the con-
ditions being that permanent improve
ments shall be made before the party is
entitled to deed, and that no liquor shall
be sold, made or given away on the prem
ise. under pain of forfeiture. The first lr-
rigating ditch, ten miles long, was finished
in sixty days and water coursingit through
the town. This was done at cost of $780,
900. 1t took eight years and $4,000 for
Denver to accomplish the same work. In
August the population was 588; it is now
over 700. There are 250 votes cast, many
of the men being without families. All
the voters but five or six are Republicans.
In this little community are representa-
tives of thirty-three States, and among
them are thirty graduates of colleges, hf-
teen ex-members of Legislatures, ten
preachers, and over twenty lawyers, ply
sicians, editors, and men of science. "A
paper called the Greeley Tribune, has
been started: lyceum, and a library also
and thousand dollars has been raised to
furnish instruments for band. A mum
ber of the stores sell from 81 800 to S4,-
600 worth of goods per month. One house
has paid $4,000 on freights since April.
Everything indicates that this experiment
will be grand success.

A HEART STORY.
By MACLEOD (MIXPAH.)

NAhOl%GOD k-u1-AN ALL
The autumn night was DER the deep,
The wind blew chill from out the West,
As slow her dear and brown-haired head
Sank down upon my breast.
L bent until the silken hair
Began to mingle with my own,
And murmured tender songs in soft
Mclodious monotone.
Until the blue-veined lids dropped down
Above the eyes L loved so we'll;
And soft as gentlest summer seas
Her bosom rose and fell.
Her little hands Law motionless,
Her budding lips were half apart;
And for her lullaby she had
The beatings of my heart.
And through my arms that clasped her
round,
Ny blood flowed on with steadfast sweep.
The current of my life inclosed
My darling in her sleep.
NY soul grew tranquil and serene,
Although became one silent prayer,
As pure and calm as had been
Her angel watching there.
| felt consecrated pride
In that my power to guard and bless,
And hold her meath that sacred shield
y strong mans tenderness.
And so the holy night waned on,
And morning stars came out above;
And woman trust still slept in smiles.
Upon the heart of love.
