Our 1oys and Girls.
THE Robins NEST.
NO. 80.


BY EMILY C. FORD
THE climbing roses on the porch
Bear the sweet promise of the Spring,
And shyly on the passing breeze
The homage of their fragrance fling.
The rivulct has burst it, bonds.
And. glorying in its new-fuHnd power,
Carols the joy of freedom gained
To springing grass and tender flower.
A robin twitt ring on the bough
Says to his mate. - Love, let Us fly
And seek soft lining for our nest.
Where warm our little birds may lie
The young wife sits upon the porch,
And busily her distaf plies;
The while she thinks upon her babe,
And gently murmurs lullabies.
When through. the open cottage door
little wall the mother hears,
She hastens to the cradle side
To soothe and quiet baby's fears.
Unhccded on the messy step
The well-uscd distalf lies:
The robins, from the gardcnwalk,
Watch it with longing eyes.
They hop little nearer now
Then, listening. raise their head-,
Till, DER the distatf lowering close,
They snap its tiuttering threads.
The housewife, stepping on the porch.
Takes up her work once more
And little thinks two pretty thieves
Have robbed her thrifty store
And vet. her lullaby tonight
Would be more glad. wecn.
Could she but peep between the boughs,
And see what might be seen
Hidden by apple blossoms pink
Is built u robins nest
With lining soft of hair and down.
Where birdlings five will rest.
And twisted in withswondrous art,
And tireless, loving toll,
See in the middle of the nest
The distaff-s flaxen spoil.
None the less soft for little birds
Will be the pretty bed
Because Il human mothers thoughts
Are woven with the thread.

At first we were somewhat alarmed
but fastening to the man found that he
WAS not injured, though frightened out
OF what little wit he had possessed He
begged for his life and protested solemn
~ that if allowed to depart he would
avoid interfering with telegraph lines
and operators ever afterward, Il promise
which. no doubt, he religiously kept

-Providcncc's new census divides its
population of J9,60S into 1881 Ameri-
cans and 81 ,257 foreign, according to
parentagc. The figures for voters are
given as IA ,535 of American birth and
2,759 of foreign, but good judges say that
the number of American voters is really
greater and that of foreign less. The
colored population has more than doubled
in the last ten years, rising from LII in
1865 20 3,5j1 in 1874.

oh, the skeeter, the beautiful skee-
ter, filling the air with beautiful meter.
Under our hat and tickling our nose,
taking bite through hole in our
clothes; in through the window; opening
the door; filling our chamber, and sing
ing the sweeter, ever is found the untir-
ing muskeeter.

A Gigantic Enterprise.

Arrangements have finally been com
pleted between the New York Herald
and the London Duty Telegraph, under
which AN expedition will be at once dis
patched to Africa The object of the
expedition will be two-fold the investi-
CATION of the slave dealing and the haunt
of the slavetraders, and the carrying out
and completing, if possible, the work be-
gun by DR.. Livingstone. The undertake
ing will be prosecuted under the COM
mand of Mr.. Henry NJ. Stanley, whose
successful journey into the heart of At
RIGA in search of Livingstone bore such
rich fruits. In short time Mr.. Stanley
will leave England fully equipped with
arms, stores, boats and all the necessary
provisions for the successful prosecution
of the undertaking. This, without doubt,
is one of the noblest works ever fostered
by journalism, and, whether it succeeds
or fails, its memory will remain monu-
ment to progress. Under the careful Ia
bors of Livingstone the problem of Cen
trail Africa has been all but solved, and
into such a narrow corner has he driven
this scientific sphinx that but little
remains to do; yet in that little lie
wrapped the secrets for which the vet
Gran explorer gave his life. Striving for
this goal is the expedition of the Royal
Geographical Society, under the COM
mand of Lieut. Cameron ii brave and
y
that has attended his march has disheart
ened the society, and letter is now on
its way to recall him. The scientific in
terest in the object of the exploration,
great as it is, sinks into insi gniticance
when compared with the practical result
that will follow the discovery of the
source of the Nile. Sir William Baker,
one of the best of authorities on the Cen
trial African question, says that nowhere

beautiful or soil more fertile, or climate
more healthy to the temperate and strong,
than those vast and diversified highlands
of Central Africa which inclosc these
glorious, sparkling seas of sweet water,
! and feed the mighty rivers whose course
is so far winding that to this day no man
has vet traverscd them from mouth to
fountain" If the expedition succeeds in
| its object tract of the richest country
on the globe will be laid open to civilian
| ton The wealth of the projectors OF the
enterprise will afford ample means, and
the indomitable perseverance of the com
mandcr renders failure almost impossi-

There are 2,0U0,0O0 beehives in the

honey is sold is twenty-five cents II pound,

will be held at 4 o'clock this evening, at
which Mr.. Smyth will present the main
FEATURES of the enterprise.
IL is a well known fact that the difficulty
heretofore in establishing direct trade be-
tween Liverpool and Charleston, was the
lack of inward bound freight. There has
been immense quantities of cotton to ship
from Charleston tO Liverpool, but the great
bulk of imported goods used in the South
ern and Western States was bought in New
York. 1t is new proposed to establish a
line Of steamships between Charleston and
Liverpool and by this natural and feasible
route supply the merchants in the Southern
portion of the United States, rs far north as
Louisville and ST. Louis, with imported
goods. English ship owners stand ready to
put o. this line all the vessels requiIed,

amount Of inward bound freight.
The advantages which would accrue to
the South from this enterprise, are incal-
culable. The tide Of emigration from
Europe would be partially diverted in this
direction, Charleston would become a
port of entry and the railroad connecting
that city with Augusta, Atlanta, Macon,
Chattanooga, Nashville, Louisville, Cincin-
natl and s.. Louis, would be Oyerrun with
business.
Ii is stated that a responsible firm in Ger
many have offered to put on a line Of
steamships between Bremen and Charles
ton. for the carving Of emigrInts. with a
guarantee that they will deliver five hun
6red per week OF very reasonable terms.
The voyage to Charleston, for emigrantS in
winter, would be much more pleasant and
safer than on the Northern OUt by way Of
New York, the railroads to the West and
North being less liable 10 snow blockadeS.
Mr.. Smyth comes to us a~skinSffrOm u
business men but a simple promise on their
part to patrOnize q Southern and more d.
rect line Of transportation TO and from
Europe. on condition that they get their
imports as cheaply by the new route as by
New York. That this can be done, needs
no demonstration, and that if this were
done the South would be benefited beyond
all computation, is equally apparent. All
the leading cities south of us are moving
actively in the matter. and We trust there
will he a large attendance at the meeting
OF the Board Of Trade this afternoon, in
order that the features Of this grand enter
prise may be fully discussed

HON. TO get Custom.

The Ne,r York Herald of Sunday,
March 20, is printed on twenty pages, con-
tanning one hundred and twenty columns,
seventy4Our of which are advertisements,
There are over two Thousand eight hundred
advertisements in that issue of the Herald.
Some of these advertisers are merchants
who do an immense business, but they
want more customers, and hence this re-
sort to the columns of the Herald. A. L.
Stewart does a business of forty millions a
year, and yet he is n among the largest
advertisers in New York. Out this way
when a merchant secures a prettyheavy run
of custom, he concludes he can DO without
advertising, but A. L. Stewart never does;
he still wants more customers and he adj
vertises for them. He believes with Bar
num-, that there is nothing like printers
ink in building up abusiness, and sustaining
it after it has been built up. When We
hear Of a merchant who has as much bust
ness as he can do and don't want to adver-
tise for more, we wonder what a. L. Stew
art would think of him.

Lotteries in General, and in Louis
NiIIe.

At the present writing a vast majority Of
the citizens of Nashville are dead set in
their opposition to lotteries, believing
them to be powerful agents for evil. In
order to give tangible shape to this opposi-
tion to lotteries, that beneficial results may
follow, that army of Nashvillians who drew
blanks in the late Louisville lottery, are re-
questedto meet in the Public Square at 2
o'clock p. NJ. to-day. The proposition has
been made that said meeting be held in the
rotunda ofthe Maxwell House, but as oLly
five hundred people could assemble there
in. that proposition cannot be entertained
for obvious reasons.
All sorts Of runOrS were in circulation
on the streets yesterday as to who had and
had not won prizes. One enthusiastic youth,
who had invested SG5 in tickets, is quite
certain his wealth was not put where it
would do the most good. lie anticipates
wearing his winter clothing this summer
and says that his proposed visit TO Beer
sheba next July must be givenup. A club
Of fifty assembled yesterday afternoon to
to make arrangements for sending a man to
Louisville to Get the SIS. 70 which is COM
ing TO them and which sum will allow them
about thirty-Seyen and a half cents each.
A.couple OF railroad chaps were more fortu-
nate. They invested SO each and drew
Sl.15 each.
There were eight agents in Nashville
who sold tickets in the Louisville lottery,
one of whom Mr.. Price, sold $4,000 worth.
All classes of people bought tickets, but
thus far, We have been unable to learn of
any one in the city having drawn a prize Of
any value. 1t is reported that a club of
young men employed in business houses
on the Public Square drew $500, but this
report lacks confirmation.
