Our Neighbor-

Though many of our travellers have passed through each of the States of our Union. though they have crossed the Atlantic, ascenled the Rhine. climbed the Alps, and mounted Vesuvius, but few of them have trod under foot the cac- tus of the Mexicaa plains It is true ,the Americans denot study Spanish to any great extent. but why? While they cultivate the French, which is spoken on another conti- ncnt. they negle zt a language spoken at their own border. In almost any of the European countries the American traveller soon finds well come and good cheer, but let him enter in the same ma4ner into the land of the ancient<hidaigos, and he will find himself ih an atmosphere the most oppressive. He will soon learn that American is not loved. and again let us ask the
 question, Why? That VIC have en- eroached upon their domain; that we have made great States where they had merely deserts and have large faims and cities where they had only a few rInchos; that we have dug millions from veins they had walked over, too indolent to discover these arc undeniaHle facts. However, if these conditions were carried on in s strictly hon lest and straightforward manner, it should not have brought forward this bitter feeling of hatred. Alas, vie fear that much of our boastcd d Indian policy method of doing bsasinezs. was used in treating wibh these peo- pie. and s16ch being the case. we cannot wonder at its legitimate fruit A times we hear it said that money can be made there. This is Undoubtedly true, the same as in an6 ether rich undeveloped country, but what guarantee of safety have you amidst continual pronuncia- sacnfos and revolutions, at each of which the foreign element, being the most thrifty, naturally has 10 suffer most. Poverty and corruption ex- ist everywhere. In the way of re- dress. judicial or otherwise, it is useless to expect anything of the Government. There is but little education.

he to the Emperor, on his return, 1.-THE

The magnificent brocade that the
Emperor was having woven at his

whole town.
The Emperor wished to see the
costly stuff while it was on the loom;
SO accompanied by choice train OF
courtiers, among whom were the two
trusty men who had so admired the
work, off he went to the two cunning
cheats. AS soon as they heard Of
the Emperor's approach, they began
working with all diligence, although
as yet there was not a single thread

The Burglar and the Editor.

A burglar climbed into an editors room
Needy and poor was he
And he saw in the dim uncertain gloom,
With legs as long as the stem of a broom,
A pair of trOusers-"I just freeze to 'em';
Hechuckled with fiendish glee,
Helifted them up from the back of the chair;
Lightly they hung on his arm;
They were the editors only pair,
Thinner than gOssamer everywhere;
Oh, but the knees were worn and bare
Good clothes-when the weather IS
warm.
All over the room he searched in vain;
There was no more to find;
There was no sign of sOrdid gain,
No passing drops from golden rain
Only the wealth of the sleepers brain.
The peace of the editors mind.
He turned his back on that happy home,
Though ful netting those pants;
Out of the window he cautiously CLONE;
He emptied the pOckets-a broken comb,
A stub of a pencil, manuscript poem,
Answered his searching glance.
He started; the tears flashed into his eyes;
He leaned up against the fence;
A look of plying, mute surprise
SOftened his face; he stified his cries,
He looked at the swag, and measured its
size,
Value-about nine cents.
Into his pockets his own, he went,
And he dragged out a ten-dollar bill:
And he hastily cIammed it, every cent,
Into the editors pockets and bent
The trousers into wad and sent
Them over the window-sill.
Then on to wealthier house he sped,
''Twas q charity well bestowed"
He said to himself, and when night had fled,
And the editor rose from his virJuous bed.
And found the money, he whistled and said,
''Well, am essentially blowedw

to give voice to his thoughts.
The swindlers begged him most
politely to have the goodness to APP
proach nearer to the looms and
then pointing to the empty frame,
asked him if the coiors were not of
great beauty; and the poor old min
lister looked, and looked, and could
see nothing whatever, for indeed,
there was nothing at all there.
"Bless me l'' thought he to himself,
Gam |, then, really simpleton ?
Well, l never thought so, and no.
body dare know it. / not tit tor my
Office No, nothing on earth shall
make me say that / have not seen the

"Well, sir" said one of the swind
lers, still working busily, you don't
say if the stuff pleases you or not"
"Oh, beautiful, beautiful = the
work is admirable p said the old min
lister, looking at the beam through his
spectacles. "This pattern and these
colors-well, well; shall not fail to
tell the Emperor that both are most
beautiful"
"Well, we shall be delighted if you
do SO, said the swindlers, and named
the different colors and patterns
which were in the stuff. The old
minister listened attentively to what
they said, in order that he might be
able to repeat all to the Emperor.
The swindlers then asked for more
money and silk and gold thread,
which they said they wanted to finish
the piece they had begun. But they
put, as before, all that was given to
them into their own pockets, aud
still continued to work with apparent
diligence at the empty loom.
Some time after the Emperor sent
another officer to see how the work
was getting on, and if the piece OF
broadcloth would soon be finished.
But he faired like the other. He
stared at the loom from every side;
but as there was nothing there, OF
course he could only see the empty
frame.
docs the stuff not please you as
well as the minister ?" asked the man,
making the same gestures as before,
and talking of splendid colors and of
patterns which did not exist.

joke. However. no one dare even

A Generation on the March.

A generation on the march from
the cradle to the grave is an instruc-
tive spectacle, and we have it care
fully presented to us in the report OF
DR.. Farr.
Let us trace the physical fortune
which any million of us may reason
ably expect.
The number to begin with, is made
up of 51l,745 boys and .4SS,255
girls, a disportion which by-and-by
will be redressed by the undue NOR
tally OF the boys, and will be re-
versed before the close of this strange
eventtul history.
More than quarter OF these child
rem will die before they are five years
old-in exact numbers, 1887 boys
and 12l,795 girls. The two sexes
are now nearly on level. The next
live years will be much less fatal.
In the succeeding five years-trom
ten to titteen-the mortality will be
still further reduce d. Indeed, tor
both sexes, this is the most healthy
period Of life; the death rate, how

wonderful property of remaining in
visible to him who was unfit for the
office he held or who was extremely
silly.
"What capital clothes they must
be-" thought the Emperor. eff i had
such suit, l could directly find out
what people in my Empire were not
equal to their office; and, besides, l
should be able to distinguish the
clever from the stupid. By Jove, l
must have some of this stuff made di-
rectly for me-" And so he ordered
large sums of money to be given to
the two swindlers, that they might
be set 20 work Immediately.
The men erected two looms, and
did as if they worked very diligently;
but in reality they had got nothing
on the loom. They boldly demanded
the finest silk and gold thread, put it
all in their own pockets, and worked
away at the empty loom till quite
late at night
II should like to know how the
two weavers are getting on with my
stuff" said the Emperor, one day to
himself; but he was rather embar-
raised when he remembei ed that a
silly fellow, or one unfit for his Office,
would not be able to see the stuff.
IT'S true, he thought, as far as re-
garded himself, there was no risk
whatever; but yet he preferred send
ing some one else to bring him intel
ligence of the two weavers and how
they were getting on, before he went
himself. Everybody in the whole
town had heard OF the wonderful
property that this stuff was said to
possess, and all were curious to know
how clever or foolish their neighbors
might be found to be.
81 will send my worthy old minis
ter" said the Emperor at last, after
much consideration she will be able
10 say how the stuff looks better than
anybody; for he is man OF under
standing, and no one can be found
more fitted than he."
So the worthy old minister went
to the room where the two swindlers
were working away with all their
might and main. "Lord help me-"
thought the old man opening his eyes
as wide as possible; "why l can't

There will be some advance in the
deaths in the next five years, and
still more in the five that follow
634, 045 will certainly enter on their
twenty-sixth year.
Before the next ten years are at an
end thirds of the women will
have married. The death during
that period will be 62,052. and of
these no fewer than q, 134 will be
caused by consumption.
Between thirty.fve and forty.five
a still larger death toll" will be paid,
and little more than half the original
band-in exact numbers 502,515-
will enter on their torty-sixth year.
Each seeding decade up to seven
ty-fve, will now become more fatal,
and the number will shrink terribly.
AT seventy-five only 161, 124 will re-
main to be struck down, and of these
122,559 will have persisted by the
eighty. fifth year of the march. The
1866 that remain will soon lay
down their burdens; but 2,153 of
them will struggle to ninety-fve, and
223 to be one hundred years old.
Finally, in the one hundred and
eighth year of the course, the last
solitary lite will flicker out. Such,
then is the average lot of a million
men and women.

The EmperOr's New Suit.
ON Hans Christian Andersen.

From Hans Christian Andersen.
Many years ago there lived an En-
peror, who cared so very much about
having new clothes, that he speLt all
his money merely for the sake of be-
ing very smartly dressed. He did
not care much about his troops; he
did not care either about going to
the play or driving out, unless it were
that he might show his new clothes.
He had new suit for every hour in
the day; and, as one usually says of
King or Emperor, he held a privy
council, SO Of him it was said his ma.
jesty sat in council with his tailors.
In the large town where he resided
people led merry life. Day after
day fresh visitors arrived at court !;
one day, too, couple of swindlers,
who called themselves first.rate weav-
ers, made their appearance. They
pretended they were able to weave
the richest stuffs, in which not only
the colors and patterns were ex-

have to acknowledge himself either
simpleton or an awkward fellow.
AS yet none OF the Emperor's new
dresses had met with such approval
as the suit made by the two weavers.
"But the Emperor has nothing on !"
said little child. ''Ah, hear the
voice of innocence said the father,
and one person whispered to an.
other what the child had said.
"But he really has nothing on !"
exclaimed at last all the people.

that they were right, but he thought

the title OF knights OF the Most
Honorable Order Of the Loom"
The night preceding the day on
which the procession was to take
place, the two men stayed up all
night, and had sixteen candles burn
ing, so that everybody might see how
they worked to get the Emperors
new dress ready in proper time.
They pretended to unroll the stuff
from the loom they cut in the
air with their scissors, and sewed
with needles that had no thread.
Now, then" said they, "the Empe-
ror,s new suit is ready at last"
The Emperor then made his ap-
pearance In the chamber of his two
knights OF the Most Honorable Or
der OF the Loom, accompanied by his
chamberlains Of the highest rank !;
and the two cheats held up their
arms as though they had something
IN their hands, and said: "Here are
your majestys knee breeches, here is
the coat, and here the mantle. The
whole suit is as light as cobweb; and
when one is dressed one would al
most fancy one had nothing on; but
that is just the beauty of this stuff,
"Of course !" said all the courtiers.
although not a single one Of them
could see anything Of the clothes.
"Will your Imperial Majesty most
graclously be pleased to undress /?
We will then try on the new things
before the glass"
The Emperor allowed himself TO be
undressed, aud then the two cheats
did exactly as if each one helped him
on with an article OF dress, while his
majesty turned himself round on all
sides before the mirror.
GLOW well the dress becomes your
majesty and how well it fits What

Emperor. DO my new things sit

more before the looking glass in or
der that it might appear that he ex.
amined the dress very infinitely.
The pages who were to carry the
Emperor's train telt about on the
ground as if to lift up the end of the
mantle, and did exactly as if they
were carrying something, for they
also did not wish to tray SIMPLE
