GRANDMA'S DREAM.

wonder what grandma is thinking about,
AS she sits in the corner there,
With the freight shining into her eyes
And over her silvery hair?
She has laid her knitting across her knee,
And folded her hands so thin,
And know her thoughts are far away,
In spite of the children's din.
I'm sure it is something strange and sweet
That brightens her eyes SO dim;
Perhrps she is seeing the golden gate,
And hearing the angels hymn!
And she smiles to think she soon will cross
Where the wonderful river rolls,
And gather the rose of her youth again,
In the beautiful garden of souls!

EBB AND FLOW.

l wandered alone beside the stream,
The tide was out, and the sands were bare;
The tremulous tone of the sea-birds scream,
Like winged arrow, pierced the air.
I roamed till the sun in the west was low,
And the robes of twilight trailed in the sea;
The waves pulsed in with rhythmical flow.
And the nightingale sang a song to mel
All day roam by the stream of Song;
The tide is out and my life is bare
While shadows of evil round me throng,
And drearily croak the birds of Care.
But at night the waves roll back again,
And flow in music over my heart,
Till the dusky phantoms of grief and pain
From the charmed shores of my brain depart

RELATIVE RANK OF CITIEs.-The cities of
New York, Philadelphia and Brooklyn
maintain the same relative rank as to popu-
lation that they did in 1860. There has
been considerable shifting of places among
those that now constitute the remainder of
the twenty foremost cities of the Union.
During the last decade St. Louis has
ascended the scale from the eighth to the
fourth.
Chicago, in similar proportion, changes
from the ninth to the fifth.
Baltimore, which in 1860 was the fourth,
retrogrades to the sixth.
Boston pursues the same direction, from
the fifth the seventh.
Cincinnati retires step, from the seventh
to the eighth.
New Orleans falls back from the sixth to
the ninth.
San Francisco, taking noble forward
leap, vaults from the fifteenth to the tenth
Buffalo lags behind from the tenth to the
eleventh.
Washington makes a stride from the four
teeth to the twelfth.
Newark, New Jerseys thriving metropo-
ns, urOpS, ne'ertneless, from VIC ele'eh'H W

Louisville, twelfth in rank in 1860, is now
assigned to the fourteenth.
Cleveland four steps forward, mounts from
the nineteenth to the fifteenth.
Ptlsburg alone retains the relative rank
now as then, the sixteenth.
Jersey City rises from the twentieth to
the seventeenth.
Detroit recedes from the seventeenth to
the eighteenth.
Milwaukee from the eighteenth to the
nineteenth.
Albany, which was, ten years ago, the
thirteenth, now takes the place of Jersey

NUMBER Is.
HUMAN LONGEVITY.

A recent writer in the Herald Of N'aNh
takes a much more hopeful view of longevity
than is common now-a-d days. We have
grown so used to the statistics accumulated
by dilligent mathematici,ns to prove that the
length of human life is constantly growing
less, that we have come to look forward with
more or less of cheeyfuluess to the time when,
by easy stages, it should wholly pass out.
But now we breath frecr, and feel at least
ten years younger. For the average longcv-
iiy of the race, according to the latest writer,
has been constantly increasing for centuries,
and better, will continue to increase for Gen.
turies to come. The race is now in a tram
sition state which brings about literally 'tsthe
survival of the fttest" In the process
greater mental power is added to the confess
tants. The conclusion drawn by some hasty
writer that the increased mental expenditure
which marks the present age must of neces
sity tell against longevity, is unfounded and
erroneous. The strained and hurried lives
which we lead are not of necessity shorter
than the sluggish and slow-paced ones of the
Dark Ages; the structural capacity of the
race keeps pace with the demands made
upon it. If this were not so, the race must
inevitably become extict through the in
creased difficulties of existence accompanying
increase of population. So far from this, as
We approach the perfect state of civilization.
man becomes ad justed to his condition, life
has fewer needless drafts upon it, and ener-
getic centenarians, whose walks, choppings
of wood and plowing of many acres are now
chronicled as feats, will become the types of
the race. The writer adds another hopeful
idea. 1t is that after species has been ex-
empt for several generations from certain
disease, the seeds of the disease die out. If,
for instance, sanitary precautions could keep
off the smallpox from a species fer several
generations together, it would afterwards bc
exempt from it. In this way one after an
other of all the "thousand ills" shat flesh is
heir to would be eliminated, and our very
remote grandchildren, some cycles of years
hence, would be comparatively free from
sickness, and might soon he driven TO suicide
when they grew tired of fie.

not expect that; but if the farmer had his
