In 1776 there were in the United Col,
onias 20 public libraries, all told, and their
possessions in volumes were altogether
45, ,623 in number. From 1776 to 1900
there were formed 20 public libraries, and
in the latter year there were 40 in all,
containing 10000 volumes. In 1876
there are in the United States 1862 pub.
lie libraries, containing, in the aggregate,
1926, ,964 volumes besides 100000
pamphlets, equal, say, to 100000 vol
umes in ALL This indicates a remarkable
progress. In 1776 our population was
100000, giving one volume to 65 per-
sons; in 1876, with a population of 45,-
100000, we have a volume to 81 persons.
The Libraries have increased eighteen times
as fast as the population.
This statement does not include the
libraries of Sunday.schools, which are sup
posed to number about l0,000,000 vol
umes of an inferior sort of literature, nor
those of common schools; nor does it in-
clude our private libraries, which have
probably grown still more rapidly than the
public ones. The statistics Of private IL
braries it has been impossible to gather,
with any such degree of accuracy as would
justify their publication. 1t is well-known,
however, that there is a multitude of
such libraries, many of which are of
great value, and some more complete in
special directions than the greatest of the
public libraries. So rapid has been the
recent growth of these public institutions,
that 2240 of them have been formed since
1850 There are 35S endowed libraries,
having permanent funds amounting to
over six millions; the yearly circulations
of 742 Libraries which make returns is
8,S79, 500 volumes; 1910 report an aggre-
gate yearly increase of $4,000 volumes,
and $50 yearly income of 81 1885, 900.
The private beneiactions made during the
century, in money alone, to libraries, arc
supposed too exceed $50, 100000.

And % lhose that ride and those that go,
UhsItucting each path and each thoroughfare,
MAklug beasts burdens much harder to bear.

The poor mans torment the poor mans foe;
Only hailed with glee by thoughtless child
TO whbse wrapplnga warm II feels son and mild.

Aud llling up poyerys courts and lanes
For 4 onlyering foot, frost bitten and cold,

Whiie Noodles lips utter, and not 100 low
A cnfse for the coming OF terrible snow.
Nt df1 % cheer the empty crate,

WhIId bic snow nocks thro' the open door,
And With hendish glec it covers the floor
Hmiling chuckllng, In cruel sport

Neither for moans from the suffering and sick,
Nor ibr faint iarcs from the cheap lamp.wick

A small, childish countenancc, wan and pale
Cold, clammy and moist with the driving gale
Kxlended with pleading and fearful eye;

And dark night sets I'm, yet II ceases not,
Nfinding from sight some h0sptable cot.
Plodding, dragging his limbs along,
M stopping for fear he was going wrong,
mixing upon the terrible snow,
Wishing his strength, like his hope would grow;
nrt his couch had already marked Its prey,
And his hair was white before Il was gray.
{nA valley stands a romantic cot
QAh charming, delightful, healthy spot
Ono winter snow threatened the peaceful dell.
And gathered in strength aud size us It fell.
Roaring, crashing. an avalanche

Etfikiug Its inmates all torn to the floor.
Ihnir dread winding sheet all covered with gore
Xheir last muiter was in their fearful voc.
A Dying curse for the terrible snow.

Among other suggestions to enable a

a clean conscience, aud two or three clean

Many people using lead pencil in
writing have habit of putting the point
in their mouths after writing few words
under the impression, perhaps, that it
makes the chirography look palmer aud
blacker 1t is well to suggest to such per.
sons that every time they touch the pencil
to their tongues they seriously endanger
their health, Cases have occurred where
the system has been SO badly poisoned that
paralysis and death have resulted from this
practice.

Peace does not dwell in outward things
but within the soul. We may preserve
it in the midst Of the bitterest pain, if our
will remain firm aud submissive. Peace
in this life springs from acquiescencc even
in disagreeable things, not in an exemp.
tion from suffering.
