The Advantage of Paleness.

Alphonse, the clerk in Merrill's gro
Gerry, was somewhat indisposed on Mon
day, so much SO as to cause comment
from the customers as they came in.
Two young ladies were in after pound
of starch, and Alphonse was waiting
upon them, when man at the stove,
having intently observed him for a mo-
ment, suddenly remarked:
"It is a decided advantage for you to
look pale, Alphonse.
The young man looked up with a
grateful expression.
because it makes your mustache
show" added the man.

The Population of Ireland.

Tt has been supposed that the regis
tration of births in ireland must be ex-
cessively defective, as the ratio of regis
tered births to population is so far short
OF that OF England. But DIR. W. NJ
Burke, who signs, as registrar general,
the detailed report on the year 1875, To-
Gently issued, calls attention to other re-
turns in explanation Of the difference.
He has, indeed, to state that in the ten
years 1S6575 the rate of legitimate
births, which in England averaged 33. 4
per 1000 of the population, was only
26.1 per 1000 i'll Ireland. But he has
also something else to state The cen
sus of 1871 show that in England II. 7
per cent. of the total population were
married women between the ages of fif-
teen and fifty-fve, but in Ireland only
lis per cent, SO that there were five
married possible mothers in England to
four in an equal number of the popula-
tion in Ireland, and, taking the ages fif-
teen to forty-hve years, the difference is
even greater. Thus the birth rates of
the two countries bear the same ratio to
each other as the relative proportion of
married women in the population. Look
ing at the returns from another point, it
is found that the births in England are
annually equal to ga to every 1000
mothers, and the registered births equal
to 223 per 1000 in Ireland. The mar
riage rate in Ireland is low in proper
tion to the total population. This is
partly owing to the large annual immi-
grafton Of unmarried persons of the
marrying ages. There is apopular opin-
ion that Irish mothers are more fruitful
than those of England; but this, if true
must, under present conditions, be to n
certain extent neutralized by the COM
paratively late period OF life at which
many marriages in Ireland are now
solemnized. The annual excess of
births over deaths in Ireland is about
one per cent. of population.

INSECTS. last Arkansas traveller
tells story of citizen of the State who,
while on board a steamer on the Mis-
sissiippi, was asked by gentleman
whether the raising of stock in Arkan-
sas was attended with much difficulty or
expense. "Oh, yes, stranger; they
suffer much from insects" "Insects |!
Why, what kind of insects, pray ?"
=" Why, bears, catamounts, wolves, and
sich like insects" The stranger stopped
further inquiry.

The Widows Mite.

A widow-she had only one
A puny and decrepit son;
But day and night,
Though fretful oft, and weak and small
A loving child, he was her all
The widows mite.
The widows mite-ay, so sustained,
She battled onward, nor complain'd,
Though friends we're fewer
And while she toil'd for daily fare
A little crutch upon the stair,
Was music to her.
l saw her then-and now 1 see
That, though resigned and cheerful, she
Has sorrow'd much
She has, He gave it tenderly.
Much faith and carefully laid by,
A little crutch.

Open The Cheese Factories
Early.

Messrs Rhodes & Server. Produce Conn
mission Merchants, IS Whitehall st., New
York, send us the following As they do
very extensive business in butter and
cheese, and are thoroughly posted on the
market and the future prospects, we think
dalrymen will do we'll to act promptly on
the advice they give.
The low price of cheese during the
fall and the favorable prospects of but
ter induced many to take their milk
from the factories and make it into but
ter. It was impossible for any person
at that time to realize the full extent to
which this was being carried on, and it
is only now, when we find the crop of
butter so very excessive and the crop
Of cheese short, that this united but
foolish move of the diarymen of the
country begins to be fully appreciated.
What is to be done to work off this
large stock of butter? We answer,
open the factories just as soon as there
are new mich cows enough to make u
cheese day. Don't make q pound Of
butter for this market until the old
stock is thoroughly exhausted. New
cheese will be in demand this spring Ut
