Two little children five years old. ,,..
Marie the gentle. Charlie the bold: tt -
Sweet and bright and quantity wise,
Angels beth. in their mo TIERS eyes
But YOU, if you follow my verse. shall SEQ
That they were as human as human can be-
And had not yet learned the maturer art
or hiding tho s'self" of tho finite heart.
One day, they found in their romp and play
Two1ittle rabbits soft and gray
Soft and gray. and just of size.
As like each other as your two eyes.
All day long the children made love
Tosthe dear little pets-their treasure-trove;
They kissed and Rugged them until the niGhs
Brought to the comics a glad respite
Too much fondling doesn't agrec
With the rabbit nature, as we shall Sec
For ere tho light of smother day
Had chased tho shadows of night away,
One little pet had gone to the shades.
Or, let us hope, to-perennial glades -
Brighter and softer than any below
A heaven where good little rabbits so.
The living and dead lay side by side,
And still alike as before one died;
And 1t CHANGED that the children came sngly to

The pets they had dreamed of all the night
through.
First came Charlie, and. with sad surprise.
Bsheld the dead with streaming eyes;

i've got letter here from Tom-nay. wife, you
need not start
The boy is well, there nothing here to pain moth
He says he's gathered in the grain, a goodly gol-
den store;
He says he's paid the mortgage off and laid up
something more.
Well. wife, faint quite two years ago, one sui
try summer day,
When was working in the fields and getting IN
the hay,
A carriage drove up to the door, and there ALT a
chap.
With laughing eyes, like yours that looked from
underneath his cap.
He helped little maiden out, with sunny ,gleam-
ing hair,
And deep blue eyes that looking in you seemed
to read prayer;
tried to make out who they was. but wife,
didn't know;
couldn't make the team stand still, and kept a
hollerin' whoa
saw him point across to me, and heard him
something say;
/ couldn't make the words out, their heads were
turned away;
But then an idee struck me quick. just like ray
O. dawn;
Although didn't know the gifl%1 knew the boy
was Tom
My boy who ran away from home SO many years
before;
Our Tom. whom we had mourned as dead dozen
years or more.

ha' cared that day.
reached the house before 'em, wife, but naught
to you said;
Somehow harsh words I'd said to Tom kept pop
in through my head;
Icouldn't help but think, perhaps, I'd been too
quick to strike
I'd learned that men, like horses sos is seldom tho
alike.

well, father I've come back" Tom said, ito see
you all once more''
threw my arms around his neck. broke over all
my rules;
You did the same, we laughed and cried together
both like fools.
When all was still we found the girl with blue
eyes was Toms wife,
How well we learned to love the bride; and when
they went back West,
They wanted the old birds to come and see them
in their nest.

Hold on. now, here's postscript. with perhaps a
word for you.

| frequently be crossed in a days journey.
Sections of country, therefore, in which any
disease becomes epidemic or prevalent are
readily evacuated and the lower or swamp
country is always empt!ed of its white pop
uation on the approach of the malarial
season.
Climatic diseases, therefore. in the South
ern States fall chiefly on the negroes, who,
from their poverty and habits Of life. are less
able than the whites either to fly from them
or resist their effects In fact, by far the larg-
er percentage of mortality in the South is
among the blacks. DR.. Campbell, of Abing-
don, who has given some attention to this
subject, estimates the excess in the rural
districts of Southwest Virginia to be not
less than twenty-five per cent. There the
climate is remarkably healthtul and the
colored population small. In proportion as
it is denser, the percentage of mortality
increases, until it becomes so great in the
crowded cities as to excite of late years the
inquiry SIS the negro race dying out?"
In the last annual report of the Board of
Health of Washington, DR.. Verdi shows that
while the percentage of mortality among
the whites was less than that of most cities of
the Union, that the blacks was threefold as
great, and urgently invites the attention of
philanthrepists and vital statistitians to the
subject. TIE health reports of Charleston,
Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans show a
similar disproportion in the rates Of NOR
tality Of the two races. Colonel D. Wyatt
Aiken, Of South Carolina, one of the most
obseryant and experienced agriculturists Of
that State, is of the opinion that the NOR
tality Of The blacks on the plantation has
not increased since emancipation, and that
In the upper country it does not exceed that
Of the white race. In the towns and cities,
however, to which the blacks have had a
great tendency to congregate, he considers
it unquestionable that their mortality is
very excessive. An additional cause OF es-
pecial mortality among the blacks, is stated
by DIR. Campbell to be their increased pre-
disposition to scrofulous affections and their
attendant and consequent diseases, super
induced, doubtless, by the causes already
mentioned Of their ignorance and habits of
life.
The result may be summed up, therefore,
as follows: First, that the average mortali-
ty in the South is less than in the North
second that the principal diseases in the
North are general in their extent while
those of the ,uJh are local and easily es-
capped, large territories being almost wholly
exempt from disease ; and third, that in
view of the excessive mortality of the blacks,
the percentage Of mortality of the white
race IN the South may be considered as re-
duced to almost minimum and insignifi-
cant compared with that OF the North. This
field of inquiry is OF the greatest interest,
not only to the students of vital statistics,
but also to the political economist in its
bearing upon the questions of immigration
and the development of the natural re-
sources and wealth of the Southern coun-
