BENEDICrION OF wv WIFE.

Blessings on thy head, my wife!
Thou who long hath blest my life;
Thou who in the bloom of youth
Brought me virtue, love and truth;
Thou who in maturer yeaes
Shared my joys and soothed my fears;
Thou who as my shadow falls,
Lengthening down Times sombre halls
And the days with silver thread
Braid their number on my head,
Still walk with me, making bright
Sunless day and starless night.
Waxeth moon or doth moon waTe,
Shineth sun or falleth rain,
Cometh calm or cometh storm,
ShiyerinS wind or zephyr warm;
Bloometh rose or falleth snow,
Cometh friend or cometh foe,
Cometh health or cometh pain,
COmeth loss or cometh gain,
Well | know, what'er betide,
Thou art ever at my side,
Sweet-yoiced, soft-eyed as the dove
Blessings on thy head, my love.
When the lilies cease TO bloom
And the rose to shed perfume;
When no more on Hermon's top
Sparkling dews from heaven drop;
When Shiloah's pool no more
Crystal waters forth shall pour;
When the pole-star quits his place
And the sun fades out through space;
When the heavens upward roll
In Gods fingers a a scroll,
And thou walk'st the eternal shore,
Blessings on thee evermore!

Coal ASHES FOR FEgTiLIzrxo.-Th
use Of coal ashes mixed into clayey soils
has been found Of great benefit, and ;ts
value is voucbed for by an agricultural.
The Husbondman repotrs an experient
made with coal ashes, applied at the rate
of 200 bushels to twenty square rods, or
ten buhhsls 10 tbesquare rod. The coil
was compact and heavy. The ashes we're
drawn on late ntbe autumn and spread
on the ground, which had been lately
plowed. 10 the spring the plowipg was
repeated, thorough mixing the ashes with
the soil The ground was plsited With
garden vegetable Th . Beneficial re-
suit was in the correction of the heavy
character OF the soil, ,hs ashes acting
mechaoidalls, and not as manure, and
producing q satisfactory improvment.

Distribution of the Foreign EIe-
ment.

A bulletin issued by the Census Bureau shows
that in no State does the foreign element equal
the native, although in many it bears very
large proportion. With the exception of Florida,
Louisiana and Texas, the Southern States are
practically without any foreign element In
these States where the foreign element is large
the general causes are apparent. In the North
eastern States the immigrants are mainly Irish,
German and French Canadian, with some Welsh,
the attraction being manufactures and mining
In the Northwest agriculture is the principal
moving force, anu Germans and Scandinavians
the principal natonaliiies drawn from, while
in the extreme West most of the immigration is
due TO mining, although agriculture and cattle
raising play very important part In thiriy-o
States and Territories in the past ten years nat
ural increase has gained upon immigration, while
in but twelve is the reverse the case. In the
United States as whole there is relative de-
crease of the foreign element TO the extent Of
1916 on an assumed total native population of
100000, showing that in the whole country, as
well as in a majority Of the States, native in
crease has gained upon foreign immigration
The increase Of the foreign element has been in
New England, where the growth has been in
the direction of manufactures; in Dakota and
Oregon, whose wheat fields have invited settle
menf, and in Colorado and New Mexico where
an extraordinary development of the mining in
dustry has taken place since 1871.

From the New York Herald: The general
contempt and dislike of Mr.. Hayes. felt and
openly expressed by public men OF both parties,
rests, We believe on q sound basis-that he took
the Presidency knowing that he was not elected
Mr.. Hayes has shown himself man Of only the
most ordinary qualities If 10 these, however.
had he added the virtue of common honesty, he
would have made q successful administration
and as it is, it is his fame and not the county's
interests which has suffered loss by his four years
at the White House.
From the Washington Post: There should be
no spot Of ground on the American continent
large enough 10 give him harborage or shelter,
save the few feet Of earth needed for a nameless
grave. Exit Hayes, the fraud. Eternal hatred
to his memory.
Here are two very bitter expressions OF con-

imagined, says The Telegraph, by lack Chandler,
Of Michigan, the Chairman OF the Republican
was taken up and endorsed by the great body of
the party, and is endorsed still II was this
moral sanction OF the bulk OF the Republican
party that gave Hayes the courage to strike the
blow. Without that. he would sooner have hung
himself He could never have faced the dreadful
guilt alone, As an original conception, and the
men who were active in leading him on TO the
extremity Of this foul pretence were and are still
the leaders OF Republican opinion-James A.
Garfield. John Sherman, James G. Blaine and
scores Of others, who are more morally guilty
than Hayes himself, because they murdered
American suffrage in cooler blood. They did
