The MARKET this morning opened quiet,
and was dull and heavy, owing to the I'M
favorable advices from the East and Liy-
erpool. The decline in Liverpool and
New York had a corresponding effect on
the market here, and in consequence
there was little doing. Prices we're un-

500 bales; sales yesterday footed up $50
bales. Liverpool was dull and depressed

The Shifting Centre OF Population.

In Professor Walkers statistical atlas of
the United States there is a curious compu-
tation of the movement of what is called the
centre of population since 1870. The
populations of counties are supposed to be
grouped at their geographical centres, and
then each individual being assumed to be of
the same gravity as every other, and the
country being assumed to be plane surface
without weight, the "centre of population -
is determined by computing the point at
which the country could be pivoted so that
the weight of the people on one side should
just balance the weight of the people on the
other side. According TO the table COM
pared III this way the centre of population
has moved steadily westward since 1870, but
has shifted very little to the north or south
of the thirty-sixth degree of latitude. In
1890 the "centre was twenty-three miles
east of Baltimore. In ten years il moved
forty-one miles, and was eighteen miles west
of Baltimore. In 1910 it was DETECTED
somewhat to the south, and had moved
thirty-six miles in 1920 it had moved fifty
miles further to the west and south, and in
1880 it reached its most southern point,
and was thirty-nine miles west of its former
position. In the next ten years it moved a
little TO the north and ffty-five miles to the
west and in the following ten years turned
slightly TO the south, and again moved fifty
five miles. Between 1850 and 1860 the
greatest western movement, (eighty-one
miles,) was occasioned by the settlement of
the Pacific coast. In 1870 the centre had
again shifted forty-two miles to the west
and slightly to the north, and had reached
point forty-eight miles east by north of Gin
cinnati The total movement from 1890 to
1870, was three hundred and ninety-nine
miles, almost due west. The variation north
and south, taking the extreme north and
south position, did not exceed twenty miles.
The movement was to the west aud slightly
southwest from 100 TO 1880; almost due
west from 1880 TO 1850; and to the west
and slightly northwest from 1850 to 1870

Go up Higher.

The best way 10 escape many difficulties
which beset us on lower plane, is to so up
to higher one. 1t is sometimes easier to
go up than to stand still where we are. In
climbing II precipitous rock, If you stop, you
may grow dizzy, and be in danger of falling
but If you push upward, you are safe. SO,
sometimes, if you find it hard to do your
duty, try TO do more, not less. Adopt a
higher standard, go up TO a higher ground.
There you have more motive, purer air, better
inspiration. If it is hard to be moderately
good Christian, try to be better one : you
will often find that easier. To give yourself
wholly to what Is true and good is easier
than to halt between two opinions. When
Won try to compromise between right and
wrong, to be moderately just, to be truthful
to certain extent, and religious without
ceasing TO be worldly it is a hard matter
But ii we say, I'VE will do whatsoever
things are Just, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are noble" it simplihes
the matter amazingly. 10 stand sun ana
be decimated by the enemy's canon Is harder
than to charge, aud many lost battle mas
been retrieved by a leader who knew how 10
inspire his troops with hopeful ardor, and To
fling them ON the foe. II is hard to do our
duty, when duty is task, drudgery, so
much TO be done every day. But when IL Is
spirit inspiring all OF life; when IL Is the
love of God and man ; the love OF al sxeet
lence JOY in fighting good fighti the nap
piness found in making others happy whsh
II thus takes in all of life, aud makes the
work of life its play, then it becomes at once
great deal easier.-J. +. Clarke

Spoiled Children.

Spelling, in its earlier stages is rather
pleasant 1t consists in letting ones darling
have its own precious little way on all oc-
casious and the way is such pretty, roguish,
winsome way, nobody can see any harm in
it. Grown-up willfuln0ss is quite a different
thing from baby willfulness. 1t gets teeth
and claws, so to speak, and isn't nice to con
template. Spelling appears to mean a great
many different things. One OF its mild
forms is total disregard for the feelings and
convenience Of others. II you meet pc
culiarly upsetting woman on a journey or
party of pleasure, who ought to be square
when She is triangular, and triangular when
she is square, you may set it down that she
was a spoiled child
There are parents who would stint their
allowance of fire or food, in order to indulge
their children's whms. The idea Of pa
rental sacrifice becomes morbid especially il
the child happens to be admired or praised.
There are mothers who pinch their own
wardrobes 10 bedeck their little girls in ex-
pensiye garments, fostering taste for ex-
trayagant dress which they cannot honestly
indulge.
Although people in the lower ranks Of the
middle class do contrive, occasionally, to
spoil their children by indulgence, the bust
ness Ia not carried on at wholesale, rs it is
among the rich, Necessity Is a severe, and
yet a kind step-dame Her motto is severe
and service Is the salt of life. III u large
family, not very well TO do, the older chill
dren educate the younger ones. They feel
almost as responsible as the parents, and
perhaps exert more influence in their little
way. Such chld-life seems bald and gray,
compared with the fairy scenes through
which richer children dance and sing; but
it, in reality, keeps young tastes fresh and
pure, and whets the appetite, instead of cloy-
ing it with enjoyment. This is only a part
of the benefit derived from childhood taxed
with some responsibility, and judiciously de
MED as well as INDUCED.
Self-control is the one thing spoiled chill
dren never learn, Their desires are always
rampant. We see the features of the little
boy who kicked his nurse and browbeat his
mother, in some passionate, dissipated, ir-
regular young man, and we shake our heads
and say, We knew how he would turn out"
The spoiled girl developes into an exacting,
INSCRIPTIONS woman. Life must center
round her, the world must wait upon her
not because she has any special merit not
because she has ever done anything, but
merely because she was a spoiled child
Her husband is a martyr. | have gener-
ally noticed that such girls marry meek little
men, who seem TO consider it their principal
business in life to carry about a load of
shawls and attend to the poodle

Power Of the Spirit.

One of the most powerful revivals ever eX-
perienced in certain town in New Eng
land brought out sases of deep interest,
showing the mighty power Of the Spirit of
God. For weeks crowded churches, mighty
meetings, the conversion of many souls Of
all classes and ages, indicated the presence of
God. In shop and store in the parlor and
on the street, religion was the topic of CON
versation. On one occasion five influential
men, meeting together, were discussing the
subject and trying to convince themselves
that it was all excitement, and that the spir-
itual wave would soon pass away, leaving
the world as barren and dry as ever Their
reasoning wgs failure, even to themselves
Learning that delegates Of the Young Mems
Christian Association were again TO hold a
series of meetings in town, one Of the party
determined to go TO Boston--a business ex-
cuse TO avoid the sound of the church bells
calling to prayer. When about TO purchase
a ticket, the voice of conscience told him that
it was unmanly TO run away, and that it in
dicated weakness of which he should not
be guilty. Reversing his decision, he again
met his four friends and invited them TO go
with him to one of the meetings, merely
from curiosity. They went together, and
all We're converted. For months this town
has been blessed beyond measure, and still
the good work goes on, and souls are brought
into the kingdom of our Lord.-New Yorh
