A Glaring Deficiency.

AMONG the sufficiently numerous de-
ficiencies of our beloved country is, the
want of an Education for the Children Of
the Rich. Physiological results of ignO-
rance and of consequent mistakes in the
use of life-or perhaps instead of mistakes
'the term should be wrong conditions of
society,-in our great business centers,
make them often sort of whirlpOols into
which good strains of blood are incessant-
ly diving and disappearing. A strong
eager resOlute worker comes into the city,
intent on wealth. He plunges into a
career of furious unrelaxing vacationless
struggling for money, marries, and he
and his wife go straight on in the same
road. Even while young man, even
though upright and pure in life, the fresh.
ness and cleanly vigor of his youth are
soiled, dried, stagnated, enfeebled, by the
hot fury OF his money-making,. the dead
air of the city streets, life without exer-
else, vacation, or any health-giving con-
stituent; and the children born to him
are by necessary result the physiologi-
Cal embodiments of mistake, unbalance,
imper fiction. They are born ill-construct-
ed !; their very marrow and pith has weak
streaks in it they are ships whose tim
bers had dry rot in them when they were
framed.
Now, of all the distinctions of man, the
highest is, his infinite power of amend
ment, of reparation, of recovery, of i'm
provement. Even for the strengthless
sprouts of these unlucky city stocks,
neither Psychologist nor educator-scien-
tific as we pretend to be-knows how
great measure of redemption might be
secured by a proper education of mind
and body. For our poor, our schools and
our life afford it. In other countries,
much is accomplished by the air of wise
and just sentiments as to the responsible
ty OF inheritors of wealth. But with us,
physiological ignorance prevents any
remedy for the congenital weaknesses of
money makers children, and social and
moral ignorance prevents any remedy for
the peculiar temptations around the help
less little fools as they grow up. So the
impartial self-limitations of nature are
left to do their cold unerring work, and in
the second or third generation the abused
race is extinct, by vital reductio ad ab-
savdum.-Old and NeD, for May.

Iowa Progress.

Iowa is one of the most vigorous and
pros porous Of that powerful group of
great States of the Upper Mississippi Val
ley which used to be called ''the North
west," until Washington and Oregon
coolly planted them fourteen hum
dred miles east of their name. But they
can have better one: they are, for the
present at least, in reality, whas the Chi
nese vainly call their half-alive realm, The
Middle Kingdom, the center Of the politi-
cal and material forces of America. Iowa
is as large as all New England, except a
third part of Maine. Her white pOpula-
ton in 1886 (as part of wisconsin, was
10,531 in 1870, 1.191, ,727; in this year
(lS73), nearly million and half. She
has 1920 miles of railway, no barren land
at all, a bountiful supply of water and
water-power, abundance Of building
stone, three and half million acres of
woodland 10000 square miles of coal lands
almost four times as much as all those Of
Great Britain. She produces already sur
plus of thousand million bushels of farm
crops (the book says agricultural pro-
ducts - but we haven't time), and having
just made beginning in manufactures,
is turning out as yet only $4,000, 900
worth in year. Her climate is an invig-
Grating temperate one, just fit for farm
ing, fruit-gr0wing, and stock-raising.

Miscellaneous Selections.
A SPRING GROWL.

Would you think it? Spring has come.
Winters paid his passage home;
Packed his ice-box, gone half way
To the Arctic pole, they say.
But know the old ruf1ian still
Skulks about from hill to hill,
Where his freezing footsteps cling,
Though tbs Spring.
Heed not what the poets sing
In their rhymes about the Spring;
Spring was once potent queen
Robed in blossoms and in green.
That, think, was long ago;
Is she buried in the snow,
Deaf to all our carOling-
Poor old Spring?
Windows rattliHg in the night;
Shutters that you thought were tight
Slamming back against the wall;
Ghosts of burglars in the hall;
Roaring winds and groaning trees;
Chimneys shuddering in the breeze;
Dolefnl damps in everything
Such is Spring.
Sunshine trying hard awhile
On the bare brown fields to smile;
Frozen ruts and slippery walk;
Gray old crops of last years. stalks;
Shivering hens and moping cowsi
Curdled sap in leafless boughs,
Nipped by winters icy sting
Such is Spring.
Yet the other day heard
Something that thought bird.
lie was brave to come so soon,
But his pipes were out of tune;
And he chirped as if each note
Came from fiannels round his throat,
And he had no heart to sing
Ahl poor thing.
If there comes little th2w,
Still the air is chill and raw.
Here and there patch of snow,
Dirtier than the ground below,
Dribbles down marshy food,
Ankle-deep you stick in the mud
In the meadows-while you sing,
This is Spring"
Are there violets in the sod?
Crocuses beneath the clodf
When will Boreas give us peace?
Or has Winter signed lease
For another month of frost,
Leaving Spring TO pay the cost?
For 1t seems he still is king-~
Though tits Spring.
