1t is altogether probable that the
rank of Washington, which had in 1876
a population of but I31 $40, is misplaced
in this table. The early report of
100, 900 for 1880 has not been contra
dicted, but it will be surprising if
Washington has population over
135, 900 or 1000. 1t is certain that
Jersey City will be one of these cities
when its returns come in, as in 1875 it
stood at 109, PSI, its increase of 26,691
from 1870 being in part due to annex
alton. Few or none of the cities in the
above table have had any territory ad-
ded since 1870, and in regard to nearly
all of them it is known that their bound
aries stand where they did in 1870.
Their average increase is, it will be
seen, almost so per cent. larger than
that of the larger cities, as the state
returns of 1875 pointed out was the
case in regard to the most of them.
The returns of cities over $4,000 and
under l00, 900 by the census of 1880 are
more incomplete than those that are
larger; their relative rank is therefore
extremely doubtful, and they are ar
ranged alphabetically in the following
table, which contains IL

he wonders that they have been no
more and no more serious. Gladly
would he guard his young friends, just
entering on life, from repeating his err
rors. The mistake of which he would
now more particularly warn them, and
from which he is thankful to God that
he has been saved, has reference to the
choice of a companion for life. Very
much depends on this. Your prosperi-
ty and happiness, to say nothing of the
wellbeing of others, depend very much
on her character. what sort of a COM
paniOn she shall be. am now taking
it for granted that you are a worthy
young man, disposed to do the best you
can, and so worthy of a worthy wife.
This, l am sorry to say, cannot be said
of all young men. Not a few are not
worthy of wife at all, and it were bet
ter that they should never have one /;
but better still that they should reform
and become worthy. But, on the sup
position that you are a worthy young
man, you should seek worthy wife.
Not every young lady is fit to be a wife.
She may be accomplished. She may be
we'll educated, and appear lady-like,
but after all, she may be wholly unit
to be wife, and especially such wife
as a young man in ordinary circnm-
stances needs. She may know nothing
of housekeeping. She may be all taken
up with dress and fashion. All her time
may be uselessly spent. She may be no
help to her mother about domestic af-
fairs. She may think it beneath her
ladyship to soil her dainty fingers about
such matters. And what in the world
will you do when you shall have be-
come united to such woman With a
wife of the right sort, by the blessing of
God, with becoming industry and econ
omy, you might get on we'll and pros
per. But with such wife, you will
find it hard work. YOu will find it like
putting your earnings into bag with
holes. The years will come round, and
you will find that you have gone back
ward rather than forward. Your money
has all been spent to support your ex-
travagant wife, and for hired help to do
the work that she ought to have done.
She will be hindrance rather than a
help to you all her days. You might
have done better; and whilst you are
yet free, beware and shun this mistake.
