THE GROWTH OF THE WEST.

The marvellous progress of the great
West is made apparent by the growth
of the great State of Illinois. This State
has been the fourth in population in the
Union for some time, and there is
chance that the present census may
prove it to be the third in rank as to the
number of its inhabitants. But in agri-
cultural products it claims to stand first
and its claim deserves respectful recog-
nitioh. The State covers $4,000 square
miles of land which in point of fertility
is not surpassed perhaps anywhere in the
world. The crops there grown include
every agricultural product from cotton,
through all the grains, to grass and its
products of the dairy, and beef, mutton
and pork, not forgetting fruits and veg
etables in every variety. Its people are
enterprising and its farmers skillful and
energetic, as may be shown by the fact
that 100 tile factories are employed in
furnishing the tile to lay 10000 miles
of drains every year in the lowlands
hitherto either uncultivated or only half
worked.
The proftableness of this enterprising
farming is illustrated by the fact that
the first crop taken after draining repays
the whole cost of the improvement.
Twenty-Five years ago Illinois was new
State. Last year its crops amounted to
500 million bushels of corn; 45 million
bushels of wheat; 2 l2 million tons of
hay 81 million bushels of oats g.
100000 hogs; and vast number of
fat beeves, together with a large guam
tity of dairy products. The corn crop
was one-ffth and the wheat crop one
tenth of the total product Of the whole
country. In these crops Illinois sur
passed every other State. The value of
the Illinois corn crop for the past six
years equalled 470 millions of dollars,
which is but seven million dollars less
than all the gold and silver produced in
the United States and Territories in the
same period. What has been effected
in Illinois, is being done in many other
States of the West; and what will be
done in the next % years will undoubt-
edly surpass all that has been done in
any previous quarter of a century.
If we look for solution of the ques-
tion which naturally arises. why should
the great West advance so rapidly in
population and wealth, while some parts
of the East are losing population and
going back to condition of almost prim-
itive solitude and wildness. we must at
tribute it, first, to the opening of the
country by one of the most complete
railroad systems in the world; for Illinois
has greater mileage of rails than any
other State, and some other comparatively
new States are not much behind her
then the wonderful fertility of the soil,
and, last but not least, the not less fer
tility of the people in energy. industry
and enterprise. Truly the West is
remarkable country, and the Western
people as remarkable as their country.

THE FACES ME MEET.

Oh, the faces we meet, the faces we meet,
At home or abroad, on the hurrying street!
Each has its history dark or bright
Traced so clearly in legible light;
AS with pen Of gold
OF the finest mold,
Diamond pointed
And lightly scrolled-
Some. telling that fortune hath gracously planned
Their sketch, and wrote with her soft, white hand.
Others where narrowing grief and care
Have left in steel their traces there
Steel that cuts like the sharpened sword,
Slowly carving each written word,
Through anxious fears
And sorrowing tears
Each furrowed line
Its import wears;
And we read that "life is stern warfare,
To battle and to do, to suffer and bear"
While Others the iron hand of sin,
Branding each line and sentence in,
Leaving forever its narrowing trace,
Where once was purity, beauty and grace;
The souls deep scars
Like iron bars
Ger windows bright.
The visage mars;
And we read "Lfe's a wild bacchanalian song,
The province OF selhshness, ruin and wrong"
Faces so old, yet so young in their years,
Where plnching penury blights and sears,
And the bony finger of poverty writes
What mercess misery eer indites;
Where pain and want
And hunger gaunt,
Big joy and beauty
And hope avaunt;
"Life is TO Notwithstanding and cold
Stunned and forsaken-toil and grow DID,"
Oh, the faces we meet, the faces we meet
At home or abroad, on the hurrying street,
Beautiful faces with soul-beaming eyes,
Visions of angels that walk in disguised
Faces glad and as gay
AS the blue skies of May,
With no more of care
Than the rose on the sprayI TtOn,
Others sad, yet more sweet with submissions so
By treading the winepress of sorrow alone.
Pltiful faces upturned so to mlne
Wistful and eager, as if to divine
If human charity. pity or love
Could be found meath the dome of the heavens aboy
Little faces so old,
Thin with hunger and cOld
Faces furrowed by toll
After perishing gold
Oh the heart is oft burdened with sorrow replete,
By the tales that are read in the faces we meet!

4 Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature-rain wind and
sunshine often interminglcd IN a single
day--it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently taken
from us by neglected colds, halt the deaths
resulting directly from this cause. a bottle
of Boschee's German Syrup kept about the
house for immediate use will prevent serious
sickness, a large doctors bill, and, perhaps,
death, by the use of three or four doses.
For curing Consumption, Hemorrhagcs,
Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group, or any
disease of the Throat or Lungs. its success
is simply wonderful as your druggist will
tell you. German Syrup is now sold in

Fashionable London in 4sO.

Some fourteen or fifteen years ago
what is now Bishopgate-street-w within
was a fashionable suburb of the Roman
I.ondinum, the Belgravia or South Ken
sington of the period, where the aristoc-
racy and wealth of the city located 1T
self, and built magnificent mansions
after the fashion of Rome, with col
umns, frescoes and tesselated pavements,
such as we see in the disinterred city of
Pompeii. In the streets might then be
seen charioteers driving rapidly along
To contend in the chariot race; fair la
dies going to witness the gladiatorial
displays in the amphitheatre; bronzed
soldiers from many a distant portion OF
the empire; slaves greanlng beneath
heavy burdens or employed in laborious
occupations-all mixed up with the ordi-
nary traffic of considerable city,
Northward, stretching eastward and
westward, ran the city wall, a portion OF
which may still be seen in the street
called London Wall, adorned with state
lv towers and bastions, one of the latter
having been exposed to public view by
the opening of pathway through st.
Giles churchyard. There was, however
no gateway in this part of the wall, as
beyond lay an untraversible morass
and beyond that forest extending to
and up the heights of Highgate, Mus
well Hill. etc. those who wished to &C
northward from the city having to sc
eastward to Aldsgate or westward to
Aldersgate. This probably was the rea'
son why the rich selected this. portion
of the enyirons of the city for their resi-.
dcncc. as being more retired and quiet
than IN the vicinity of a thoroughfare
leading to city outlet. Of these man.
sions of the patricians of Jondinum sew

1852 another at the side of st. Helen's
gateway; in 1851 another in Camomlle

in red. white and gray, at the northwest
angle of Crosby square, besides fragments
