WIDDER GREEN'S LAST WORDS.

"I'm eoin' to die" says the Widder Green,
"I'm gwine to quit this airthly scene;
1t amt no place for me to stay
In such a world as tits to-day
Such works and ways is too much for me,
Nobody can't let nobody be.
The girls is founced from top to toe,
An that's the hull of what they know.
The men is mad on bonds and stocks,
Swearin' and shootin and pickin locks.
I'm real afraid I'll be hanged myself
If amt laid on my final shelf.
There amt creetur but knows to-day
| never was a lunatic, any way;
But, since crazy folks all 60 free,
I'm dreadful feared they'll hang up me.
There's another thing that's pesky hard:
can't 60 into a neighbor's yard
To say how be ye? or borry pin,
But what the papers III have it in:
We're pleased to say the Widder Green
Took dinner Tuesday with Mrs. Keene.'
Or, our worthy friend Mrs. Green has gone
Down to Barkhampstead to see her SON.
Great Jerusalem can't stir
Without raisin' some felar's fur?
There amt no privacy. so to say,
No moren eff this was the Judgment day,
And, as for meetin want to swear
Whenever / put my head in there.
Why, even Old Hundreds spiied and done
Like everything else under the sun.
1t used TO be solemn and slow
Praise TO the LOru from men below
Now it goes like gallopin' steer,
High diddle diddle there and here;
No respect to the Lord above,
No moren eff he was hand and glove
With all the creeturs ever made,
And all The Iigs that ever was play'd,
Preachn', too! but here I'm dumb;
But l tell you what I'd like it some
Ef good old Parson Nathan Strong
Out OF his grave would come along
IN give us stirrin' taste o. fire!
JnGgment and Justice is my desire.
Iain't eli love and sickish sweet
lAat makes thi- world nor t'other complete.
Nv. law! I'm old I'd better be dead
:. pen fhr worlds turnin' over my head;
SSpirts talkin' like tarnal fools;
Blolcs picked ont O. deestrict schools;
Way creeturs murderin' raOund;
Houest folks better be underground.
80, iare Je wei; this airthly scene
Musl no more be peetered by Widder Green"

IT is the opinion of correspondent of the
New York Tribune that General Walkers
estimate of the increase of population during
this decade is too low. He puts it at 10, ,0O0,-
600, which would give US in 1880, 48, 000, ,0O0
1t is believed, however. that the figures will
show at least 80, 00O, 900, while the least rate
of increase in any of the former decades
would put it at 81. 163, l02; an average of
some ESQ, 900 above this calculation.
