GLOVE ENOUGH"

1t is profitable sometimes to be senti
mental. Let Us to-day remember that it is
spring time, however gloomy the weather
may be, and recount simple love story:
Last summer German boy and girl,
Henry and Susie, living in Minnesota, fell
in love with one another. Her family, at
first Indifferent, early in the winter put
themselves in opposition to the match.
But this Romeo was no drawing room
lover. Desperately in earnest himself,
and confident of the fidelity of his Juliet,
he bravely went to work TO make a home
for her. He already owned a quarter sec
Gion of land. Taking his axe he went to
his "estate," and there cut down trees and
hewed out logs enough to make a cabin,
which he put up without help, and fur
nished in a rude but comfortable fashion.
This done he asked Susie to come and be
his wife. She consented. Unfortunately,
the young man had not yet set up his car
riage; and, since it was unbecoming for a
bride to go on foot, hand-sled, drawn by
the bridegroom, was pressed into the serv-
ice of the pair.
Thus they went forth in secrecy to their
new home in the woodland, she riding
trinity on the sled, he tugging braeely at the
strap. 1t was about eight mics to the little
cabin, but love made the journey short.
There the wedding was to take place, a
clergyman having promised to be in waiting
to make them man and wife.
Unfortunately the clergyman was not
there, aud Susie was frightened and asham-
ed. She wanted to go home. But Henry,
grieved at her distrust and yet secretly
pleased with her modesty, proposed that ur
til clergyman could be found the cabin
should be divided by partition wall into
! two cabins, of which one should belong tC
her and one to him. To this she agreed,
and the young man went eleven miles
through the snow after the boards for the
wall, dragging them home on the sled whit
had just carried more lvoely burden.
When the parents found their runaway
Gretchen it was under these circumstances
she keeping house by herself; he living
like a bachelor, and bearing himself il
every way with a chivalrous courtesy
worthy of Henry Esmond himself, The
father and mother, notwithstanding theil
grief snd anger, were touched by the un'
conventional honor and purity of the young
people, and wisely concluding that th'
match was made in heaven, gave thei
heartiest assent to 1t.

CURIOUS CENsUs RECORD.

The census of 1870 gives New England
an increase in population Of 35O, ,S47, say IL
per cent, or half the rate (22.22 per cent?
of the increase of the country. OF this,
168, ,l70 was by immigration, and 1857
by births. Where the increase by births is
largest, the number of foreign-born persons
is greatest. New Hampshire actually loses
7,773, while Rhode Island gained 24.47 per
cent. Massachu seits, with foreign popu-
lation of 353,319, and 590,352 persons both
of whose parents were foreign-borD, added
227 ,2S5, or 1888 per cent.
The birth-rate is least in Massachusetts,
where foreigners and their descendants are
in the largest proportion. The birth-rate
has gone down all through New England,
and the average family fell from 8 Is in
1850 to AL in 1870, IN New Hamphire;
in Massachusetts, from SIC in 1850 to 4. 81
in 1870; and, in Vermont, from 5.36 in
1850 to 80 in 1870. This decline is as
positive in Maine, where there are only
1871 persons to the square mile, and in
Vermont, where the whole population is
rural, as it is in Rhode Island with 100 45
to the square mile, and in Massachusetts
with 1S6. Ga"
An element of interest not named in be
| immense immigration from New England
to the West-but the sad comment TO be
made is in the fact not SO much OF the pos
tive falling off of the native population as
| in the reduced number of children from
parents born elsewhere. A table going
back forty or fifty. years would show the
relative reduction to be much greater than
| is stated above.

IONS
ST. LOUIS, April 30.--In 1868 the Legis-
lature of this State passed an act releasing
the State lien on the Missouri Pacific and
North Missouri railroads and the former
road was sold to the stockholders fer five
millions of dollars. The foil amount of
the lien was thirteen millions. Last month,
as r. ported at the time, the present Legis-
lsture, by resolution, asked Attorney.
General Ewing for his opinion as to the
constitution ality Of the act under which
the State lien was released. That officer
replied that it violated the Constitution. In
order to settle the matter, it has been agreed
by all the parties interested that Governor
Woodson shall advertise the road for sale,
to satisfy the balance of the State lien,
eight millions, and the railroad company
will apply to the Supreme Court for an
Injunction to restrain tbe sale, and full
hearing of the case will be had. The order
of sale viii be made tomorrow or Friday.

Dresses are more simply made, three
fourths of the latest designs having long
plain skirts with trimmed polonaise. This
change is much for the better in every way,
as it permits nicer dressing, and costume OF
rich materials in simple style costing really
less than much trimmed one oil cheaper
goods. London and Paris designs Of the
highest authority, show house and carriage
dresses with demi- trained skirt, deep
founce on the front widths only finished
by large bows where it ends, having some
times neither basque, oVer-dress, nor train.
The extreme elegance of this fashion In
silk, satin, or velvet, needs 10 be seen to be-
appreciated, and it is becoming in wooilen
stnffs of nice quality. For the street, dresses
are as long as possible without sweeping
the ground. A few even of these have
plain skirts, but in all cases the choice is
pretty evenly divided between f1Ounces(not
ruffies) and fiat bands. The latter are a
finger deep, of silk, velvet, or the same ma
teIial as the dress, and usually have piping
folds, or are corded. Cashmere, and wool
goods of all sorts, when of dark color, have
bands Of silk with piping fold of the cloth
or cord of satin, which is used again for
cording only, its effect is so good on cloth.
Silk is trimmed with itself, or velvet with
piping fold of silk. Silk-faced goods, like
| p0ngee, serge, ste, have bauds of the same
corded with satin; which is also seen or
grenadines and thin goods. The upper
skirt or polonaise is either ffinged or edged
with fat pleating or folds which will noi
crush When the dress is fully trimmed
one deep fiounce just below the knee Il
| ofteness worn, or two of ten inches each
Flounces are always full, gathered instea'
ofpleated, though a deep one in box pleas
is yet stylish, and have heading of bands
