the passage. and as he opened the door
of his sItting-room his companion was
at his back.
lydia sat at her table.and her face WAS
pale: but she had not been crying, for
the words her brother had spoken to her
before he went out had inspired her
with a strange hope. She arose to her
feet, and while her husband was wish
ing that his companion had remained in
the passage, he was not a little startled
to hear the said individual speak some
what jOcularly as follows:
We'll, sister, you see I've brought
him; and we are both of us all right, l
can assure you"
For moment Ambrose was wonder
struck. but the truth quickly flashed
upon him.
"Jim-.Jim Barrows," he gaSped.
Captain Barrows, at your service,
sir" he replied. "Ha, ha, ha,-yOu didn't
know me. He's just found me out,
Lydia"
Ambrose tried to laugh, but could not.
He struggled moment with the feel
ings that rushed up in his bosom, and
then sinking down into chair, he burst
lnUO tears. his vile uIltI gu d qulCh CIy
and started forward.
Don't be afraid" gasped Ambrose.
I'm safe-safe. But 1 can't help this.
Tell her Jim. tell her all. Tell all now,
for she has right to know"
The stout captain drew his sister upon
his knee, and then related to her all that
had happened since he left her.
"Ah Ambrose" he concluded, 'the mo-
ment saw you take the last ten SOW
ereigns from your pocket, knew gaming
would soon ruin you, and when saw
you draw forth the pa"kage of notes,
l only knew that / should take them ev-
cry one from you, and that any expert
enced card-player could have done the
same. Having taught you your first
lesson in picquet, l resolved on giving
you the second lesson. l hope it may
work we'll"
And it did work well. Captain Bar
rows remained with his sister month,
and then he went away. At the end of
year he came again; at this time he
found Lydia as happy as a princess.

POETRY.
The Same C'anteen.

There are bonds of all sorts in this world
of ours,
Eetters of friendship and ties of flowers,
And true-lover's knots, ween;
The girl and the boy are bound by kiss,
but there's never bond, old friend like
this
We have drunk from the same canteen!
1t was sometimes water and sometimes
milk,
And sometimes apple-jack, as fine as SILK,
But Whatever the tipple has been
We shared if together. in bane or bliss,
And warm to you, friend, when think
of this
Wehaye drunk from the same canteen!
The rich and the great sit down to dine,
And they quaff to each other in spark
ling wine,
From glasses of crystal and green;
But | guess in their golden potatlOns
they miss
The warmth of regard to be found In
this
Wehaye drunk from the same canteeni
We have shared our blankets and tent
together,
And have marched and fought in all
kinds of weather,
And hungry and full we have been;
Had days of battle and days of rest,
Bet this memory cling to and love the
best
Wehave drunk from the same canteen.
For when wounded L lay on the outer
slope,
With my blood flowing fast and but lit
tie hope
Upon which my spirit could lean.
Oh, then remember you crawled to my
side,
And bleeding so fast it seems both must
have died,
Wedrunk from the same canteen!

lures.

LSW-SOsue 81 AIS sBteIe-NHs req
lures.
The census Of 1850 will be taken ulder
the new law passsd il 1879. The census Of
1870 wss taken under the law of $50,
which was very defective ia maDy impor.
tant particulars and wss the subject Of
serious complaint BIZ General Walker, So
peTiEtendent of the cebsus, N his last re-
part. 10 the first place, the law authorized
the extension o"er far too large space OF
the period during which the enumeration
might be made ard The reports handed in.
The count began on the first of June, 1870,
and assistant marshals were allowed until
November lst, TO complete their subdivis-
ions. But this time was further extended
until January, 1871, and upon Janusry OH
OF that year the work was dune with the
exception of224 ,954 persons. For these the
final count wal compelled to wait seven
and half months, until August IS, 1871.
Thus the whole work Of taking the census
was stretched over period considerably
longer thai year. The methods Of COM
pensatipg the enumerators stso were faulty
and unfair, and the task OF making the
CENSUS subdivisions was given TO the
Unit d States Marshal in each judicial
district, an off ,er who had no special in
terest Ia the WORK, or information coucern-
ing its requirements The result of these
and other defects Of The law. 10 which al
fusion need not b. msde, undoubtedly was
to give us an imperfect cen US. Children
born long after the count began were in
cluded; persous who changed their resi-
dences were counted twice; many were not
counted at all; numbsrless accidents hap
pened, such, for example, as the omission,
afterwards discovered, of an entire county
from he enumeration; and it is nearly GER
tain that the method OF appointing can.
vassers secured the services OF many stupid
and incompetent men, whose blunders, OF
course, could not be discovered.
Next year the new law, foiiosing the
sugst stions which experience has brought
80 the mind Of General Walker, promises
to produce copst q fences of a more sstisfac-
tory character. The time in which the
count will be made mas been much short
ened. England reckons her population in
a single night. Blanks are left at every
house in the kingdom at night and called
for in the morning. Prussia takes her
census in one day. and il is taken with
precision and e1actness. But, of course, a
feat which is possible in an old country
where the population does not shift about
q great deal, and where it il compact, Is
here, where there il . constant migration,
even in Tricky populated States, and
where there are vast regions in which
there are more square miles than
people. The new Law allows one
