NO .LovE IN A corr AeE'' FoR ME


NO 'sLOvE I'm A COTT AGE'' FOR ME.
They may talk Of leye in a cottage,
And bowers Of treliised vine
ofnature bewitchingly simple,
And milkmaids half divine.
They may talk OF the pleasures Of sleeping
In the shade OF q spreading tree.
And a walk In the fields at morning,
By the side Of a footstep free.
But give me sly Irritation,
By the light OF a chandelier
With music to play in the pauses,
And nobody very near;
Or q seat on o sillSen sofa,
With glass OF pure old wine.
And mamma too blind to discover
The small white hand In mine.
Your love in cottage is hungry,
Your vine nest for flies
Your milkmaid shocks the Graces,
And simplicity talks of pies.
You lie down in your shady slumber,
And wake with bug in your ear,
And the damsel that walks in the morning
Is shod like a mountaineer.
True love is at home on a carpet,
And nightly likes his ease;
And true love has an oye for dinner,
And starves beneath shady trees.
His wing is the fan Of a lady,
His foot's an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipped with a jewel,
And shot from silver string.

The FaIsity of the Returns for 1870
is apparent from a mere glance at the above
table. In the decade from 1910 to 1850 the in
crease in the old city and districts was at the
rate of 5427 per cent, and in the entire county,
with which the city soon became conterminous
by the Consolidation act, the increase was at the
rate of 5S42 per cent. In the succeeding decade,
from 1850 to 1860, the rate of increase fell to
1886 per cent, a falling off of about one-third.
But now we are told that, In the decade from
1860 to 1870, during which there has been
every indication of the most rapid
increase known in the history
of the community, the rate of increase has tum-
bled to 16 20 per cent, or two-hfths only of the
rate between 1850 and 1860. If the rate of in
crease between 1850 and 1860 had been main
tanned during the past ten years, the population
of the city would now be 7S2, ,466, if the
rate of increase between 1910 and 1850
had been restored, the present pOpula-
ton would be about $685. 600. The rate of in
crease in the entire State in the decade from
1850 to 1860 was 25'7l per cent. few days
ago we published the official returns from the
As counties comprised in the Western district of
the State, which showed an increase of 80 per
cent. since 1860 and it is scarcely probable that
the same rate has not been maintained in the
Eastern district and especially in this city.
Between 1850 and 1860, when the increase in
the State at large was 25'71 per cent, the in
crease in Philadelphia was 1886 per cent; and
by analogy, the increase in the last decade
throughout the State being 80 per cent, the city
should show a rate of about 81 per cent. But
while it would, perhaps, be absurd to claim a
rate of increase equal to that
shown by the decade between 1910 and 1850,
there is very, very broad margin between
sos, 600 and 657, 1859; and taking into considera-
tion the rapid extension of building improve
msnts, the increase in the number of taxables
and voters, and the unquestionable progress of
the city in every way, there can be no doubt
that our present population numbers at the very
least sOO, 900, and that through the gross negli-
genee of Marshal GregorY's enunerators, we
