THE INNOCENT EITHER.

Hundreds of people the other day, says
NJ. Quad, remarked that it seemed just
like spring weather. The rain and mist
and fog, and the public expressions prob
ably put the idea into the Startling boys
head. He came down town and bought
stuffed robin at bird store, went
home and placed it on the limb OF q
Shade .tree,z and when the father came
home to dinner, his attention WAS called
to the fact that spring birds had re-
turned.
"Good gracious me :" he exclaimed, As
he put OH his spectacles and saw the
robin.
Winter is over, isn't it," inquired
Mrs. Startling.
"Of course it is. Well, that beats
me. You might as well take that money
u laid by for more coal and fix the chill
dren up with new shoes"
While the old man was combing his
hair for dinner, Tom put the bird on
the gate post and his father saw the
second robin and exclaimed:
eliza, if any poor folks come around
here give 'em half those Eaters in the
cellar. for the weather'H be hotter II
bIazes in less than Il month
Before the innocent man showed back
from the table the bird was roosting on
shrub, but careless handling had pulled
all the tail-feathers out.
"Iliat cant be a robin, unused the
the old man, and he put on his hat and
went out and lifted the bird from the
limb. While he WAS lifting, Tom was
flying down the alley. How he came
out the public may never know.

The annual growth of Iowa from 1860
to 1870 was 52,011 persons; from 1870 to
1875 il. was 81, 800. The growth of Kan

to 1875 it was 81, 037. Nebraska's annual
increase during the earlier period is not
known, but during the last five years it
has more than doubled it's population, so
that its increase must have been several
times as large. Nevada was admitted in

Hon. Reverdy johnson, the distin-
guished statesman and jurist, died sud-
denly on the 10th inst, while a guest at
the Executive Mansion of Gov. Carroll.
at Annapolis, Maryland. He was within

mcuts, at New Orleans, during the war.

NEW ENGL-IND's FUTURE.

Elihu Burritt thus writes I'M reference
to the threatened future of New Eng
land: No country i'll the wide world
ever poured more healthy streams into
the current of city life than did once
the farm-homes of our New England
states But those homes are changing
hands and occupants and character with
:t.rapidity and result which few, perhaps
not one in a. thousand, have stopped to
notice. The attractions Of city residence
and business. or,of the congregate indus
tries of our manufacturing centers, have
been steadily drawing away hundreds
and thousands of vigorous young men
born iii those homes, and who should in
lrerit and occupy them and makt them
what they have been in the best years OF
New England's history. What is the
process that results from this course
: The fathers of these thousands of young
men are left alone on these homesteads
to carry them on through seed-timcsand
harvest with the hired help of Irish and
Germans, As age comes on them, and
their sons being no longer with them to
occupy and keep. up the. old home of
their forefathers, they offer their farms
for sale to the highest bidder, and retire
to some house with small garden in
some village or small city. The highest
bidder Is almost sure to be an Irishman
OF German, and he enters into possession
of home which has given to New Eng
land a long succession of those families
which have had such IA part in its his
tory This is the process now going on
in every farming town in New England,
and thousands of its old Puritan homes
arc, already occupied'Ly Irish and Ger
mans. Is it not time. then, for thought
full minds to consider the moral bearings
Of this transformation OH the future
character of both city and country life
in New England !.

though they be red like crimson. the,

Farcical as were some of the circum
stances of this gathering, there was an
Understandable solemnity about the service
that impressed itself iadelibly upon my
memory. "'Come, let us reason together, u
mas haunted me since in many church
and the vision has grown upon me until
the walls stretched away into border
ing melancholy forest, inclosing strange,
unreal groups of figures, where a rustic
of pine was heard, and mellow sunshine
irradiated the grave of the man who had

wings were quickly folded, and we joined

! The diSconsolate widow was already
/ there, experimenting the laying of the
tables, which were spread in the yard in
the full blaze of the sun. There was no
end of '' flesh and fowl" biscuits-and
-four was exceedingly scarce then-and
a other things that people in that re-
gi q were supposed to be fond of. There
we tnumbers of the rough country folk
there, to whom the banquet board seemed
one of tabled magnifcence-for people
of all classes, from far and near, had
focked to the unheard-of fcstivity of
barbecue" funeral. The tables were
SION filled, and the walters plying busily
between them and the kitchen. The text
Of the minister was literally followed out,
whether or not any regard was paid to
its real significance.
We placed several of the Young ladies
in the shadow of the chimney, and held
her parasol over my charmer, at the same
time that l was endeavoring to wait on
her and feed myself. One thing baffled
my ingenuity for moment The butter
was of the consistency of sweet oil; but
we obtained aspoon at length, and many
a brilliant remark related to a "sup of
butter,' spoonful of butter" and
"eau de butter"
After dinner our party took a prolonged
stroll through the beautiful wood with
its many interspersed sunny openings
where sumach blazed on grassy knobs.
OF coUr je the town ladies were consid- |
cred models of style, and 1 think my
brigandish new felt hat, with cord and
two little swinging tassels, produced
some sensation; though 1 have a slight
that some breeze bore me a
whisper of "What a dandy!' and am
sure that overheard an old lady saying
to her daughter, "You may be sure a
man with white hands and ring on his
finger will make his wife do all the work"
This is about all that remember con-
nected with the occasion, except that the
next day as passed Elias house in the
afternoon l saw in the street under her
window the bouquet OF leaves and fall
flowers had gathered for her during our
stroll, and which she had declared she
would keep as long as there was any
thing left of them!'

That tie State EnHDieratiOns Of 1875 Shoe
Some Interesting Figures.
1t has heen assumed, too hastily we
think, says the Boston Advertiser, that
the growth of the country in population
has received a serious check. This con-
clusion is based on the returns of a part
of the censuses taken last year. We
have not seen anywhere a table contain
ing results of all the enumerations, and
we have endeavored to supply the de-
ficiency. So far as known there were
eighteen states that teek census of
their population during the. year 1875.
One other made an enumeration in 1874.
Of the whole fourteen, eleven are sup
posed to be trustworthy, and three are
not so. The census of Texas is an esti-
mate so far as it is supposed to give the
total population. A school census was
taken, and the figures below are based
upon the result of that, corrected by a
comparison of the votes at different cleo
tons. The return for Michigan is that
for the year 1874, so that it represents
one year less of growth than in the other

RIILWfT FARES TO THE CE,NTESNIiL.

Philadelphia correspondence of this
Baltimore American The general ticket
agents of the railroads are progressing L
their arrangements for the prospective
/ increase of travel during the coming
summer. All the usual round-trip ticket,
that are issued every year will include
| opportunities for visiting Philadelphia
| and the Centennial. The reduction will
be twenty-five per cent. from all points
in the country east of Omaha. The
Pacific railroads are not participating in
this movement, and having the monopoly
of travel 10 and from the Pacific, very
little liberality is expected in that
quarter. If they should join in the ar
rangement it will greatly increase the
travel both to and from all parts of the
Pacific coast. The present arrangement
is to issue tickets good for thirty days,
and extend the time for the sale of round
trip tickets FROM May 10 to October 81.
Passengers will be permitted to stop over
at all places on the route, except within
a. Noi vain ulslfHtC
which properly includes local travel.
The difference in fare between New York
and Philadelphia on round-trip tickets
eastward or westward is fixed at one
dollar only. For instance, the fare be-
tween Chicago and Philadelphia and re-
turn will be $50, while from Chicago to
New Yorl-and return it will be S33. The
four trunk lines will have building on
the grounds, which will be model rail-
road station, to be used as an American
Tourist ticket office, and to be managed
by the companies in concert. 1t is I'M
derstood that trains will be started be-
tween New York and Philadelphia every
twenty minutes. during ten hours of the
day, besides ample night trains with
sleeping cars. All the railroads here
abouts and to the east and west are
adding to the number of their cars and
locomotives in order to be prepared in
time for the rush. The only exception
known of here is the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, and the inactivity of that sturdy
competitor for travel and freight to and
from the west is a matter of surprise to
all who have paid any attention to the
subject.

VOLUME XII.
U-fITING.

Five years to waltz Don't do it,
NV innocent blue-eyed maid,
For the years may last Lifetime,
While your youthful roses fade,
While your eyes are red with weepins,
And watching the treacherous sea;
Till you sing the song OF the lone one,
"He'll never come back to me-
Five wears to wait, while others
Are dancing the dance OF youth,
And the one perhaps you are trusting
Is breaking his vows forsoothl
al shall wait for my love; my darlInss
Who has sailed far over the sea,
Five wears, or ten, or twenty
said the blue-eyed maid to me.
So she wrote her love letters.
Or tended her garden flowers,
Or watched the restless pillows
On the beetline cliff for hours;
While she turned her suiiors pining
Away from the cottage door,
Aud waited, patiently waited,
One long, long year or more.
" IT'S very weary waiting"
said the blue-eyed maid to me,
And she glanced at her last new sutton
And then at the restless sea;
And she glanced at the roses fading
In her garden fair AMI bright,
Twice come, twice gone since he left her
Two years before that night
And she married her last new sutton
Before the winter sped
And she wrote to her absent love
On the day that she was wed,
:. She hoped he would not suffer-
That the shock would soon he Ger
And the answer soon informed her
He had married n wear before.
