THE YOUTH AND THE STRANGER


See'st thou my home l-fFis where yon woods
waving,
In their dark richness to the sunny air
Where yOn blue stream, a thousand howerbanks law
ing
Leads down the hills vein of light,-tis there
Midst those green haunts how many spring hes
cleaning,
Fringed with the violet, eolored with the skies
MY home the spirit of its love is breathing
In every wind that plays my track;
From its white walls the very tendrills wreathing,
Seem with soft links to draw the ssanderer back.
There am loved, there prayed for-thOre my mother
Sits by the hearth with meekly-thOughtfnl eye.
There in sweet strains their kindred music blending
All the home-voiees meet at days decline;
One are those tones, from the heart ascending
There laughs my home sad stranger, where is thine
STRANGER.
Asks thou of mine AIN solemn peace it's lying
Far DER the deserts and the tombs away.
Ask where the earths departed have their dwelling
Ask of the clouds, the stars. the trackless air;
know it not,-yet trust a whisper, telling
My lonely heart that love unchanged is there.
And what is home and where but with the loving!
Happy thou art that canst gaze on thine

FACTS ooNcERNrNG TOBACCO.

The New York Commercial Adcertis-
er furnishes the following catechetical
statement relating to the consumption
of tobacco.
"Mr. A. how many kinds of tobacco
do you recognize in commerce ?"
1.-Two; chewing and smoking"
''How about snuff? ?"
That's included with the chewing
tobacco"
ITO what countries do we export to-
bacco ?"
1--WE send about $4,000 hogsheads
to France "a hogshead weighs from 500
to 1000 pounds,) 10000 to Spain. l5.-
600 to Italy, $4,000 to Germany, 500
to Austria. and from $4,000 to 10000
to England"
'.How much tobacco do we consume
in this country simply for chewing and
snufing ~
at is 10000, 100000 pounds.
This at 10 cents per pound would
amount to S2l, 100000; which goes
into the hands cf the producer; s40,-
100000, | should say, goes to the retail
dealer. This for chewing and snufing
alone, and that is only the commence
ment of the story. You would despair
at the smoking statistics"
"Well, how many cigars were smoked
last year?"
According to Gen. Pleasanton, who
collected the tax on them, there were
1882, 100000 cigars used last year.
These 1882 246,o 900 cigars were un-
doubtedly retailed at 10 cents apiece.
So we smoked up in this country last
year, Sl33 ,224, 900 worth of tobacco"
'About how much was spent for -four,
then ?"
"oh, suppose about $500, 100000"
'Now that little S133, PA 900 was
paid out for cigars only-how much
would it be for chewing tobacco, snuff
and cigars ?"
"As near as can estimate 1t, about
s25O,o0O,oo0."

In politics there has been a great revo-
