My Little Boy That Died.

Look on his pretty face for Just one minute,
His Grm.sh ut hand, the fayorte plaything in
it,
And tell me, mothers, wasn't hard to lose
And miss him from my side
Ny little boy that died?
How many another boy as dear and charming,
His fathers hope, his mothers one delight,
Slips through strange sicknosses, all fear dis
arming,
And lives long, long life in parents sight
Mine was 80 short pridel
And then my poor boy died.
! see him rocking on his wooden charger;
hear him pattering through the house all
day;
watch his great blue eyes grow large and
larger,
Listening to stories, whether grave or gay.
Told at the bright dresde--
So dark now since he died
But yet oftou think my boy is living,
AS living ms my other children are,
When goodnight kisses Tallaround am giving,
keep one for him, though he Is so far,
Can mere grave divide
Me from him, though he died'
So, while l come and plant it DER with daisies.
CNothing but childish daisies, all year round)'
Constantly Gods hand the curtain raises,
And l can hear his merry VOICES sound
Ana feel him at my side

Census items are numerous Just now.
Some progressive genius has made COM
parlson between the population of the
United States and that of various European
countries, based upon the latest statistics.
He says compared with the great ma
tons Of Europe, the United States show
greater population than any except Russia,
which contains over seventy-two millions
OF inhabitants. Against our 501j2,5 $50,
Germany shows 42,727,3G0; Austria Hun
gary, 1881 APO; France, G90j, 1888; Great
Britain and Ireland. 34,160,000 Italy,
27,760,4 AIS; Spain, 16,526,511. The total
population of Europe is given by the AL
manach de Gotha as 311,7G3,713. Hence
we have even now only about one-sixth as
many inhabitants, though our area and
that Of Europe as whole are nearly equal"
And here is list of the eight largest states
in the Union with some facts in regard to
them; "The eight largest states in the
Union are IN the order named: % New
York, (2) Pennsylvania, (3) Ohio, az Hill
nols, co. Missouri, Co. Indiana, (7) Mass
achusetts, (S) Kentucky. The aggregate
population of these states in 1880 was
23,22l,415, and in 1870 it was 1924 09
They had then just about one-half the total
population; they now fall short of it by
nearly two millions"

Springfield Republican,: Edward At
kinson, than whom no man is more
able to express an opinion, says that
we do not begin as yet to appreciate the
magnitude Of the wealth to be reaped
from cotton culture in this country.
He says the present crop of cotton
will be 20 per cent larger than that
ever raised by slayes,-that is, it will
exceed 100000 bales. II it be of that
amount, it will produce 100000 tons
of cotton, seed, besides seed for planting,
which will yield 9O,OOO,OOO gals. of oil,
100000 tons of oil cake, and !, 100000
tons of hulls suitable for making pa
per. Each ton of oil seed meal will
keep five sheep six months. Thus the
cotton seed crop will support millions
of sheep and return to the land the
fertilizer needed to grow more cotton.
lie further says that the present cot
ton acreage of the South covers less
than per cent of the cotton-growing
tarea in the U. S.

The Popularity of the Equitable Life Assurance Society,"
indicated by the fact that for Eeyn years its average
nua New Business has been larger than that of any other
Company in the world is due in great measure to its we'll
known prompness in the payment of Death Claims and its
rule never to take advantage of techncates where an
equitable claim exists. 01x

cious influence of technical policy, adhered to by many

A Large Potato.

James Armor, OF Christiana Hun
dred, near this city, brought to the
GAZETTE Office "Chili" potato which
weighed pound and half. A Ches-
ter county farmer had several large
potatoes in the market yesterday after-
noon showing them around rather
boastfnlly and Mr.. Armor brought one
from his patch in for the Chester
county man TO look at and see what
New Ca tie county land could produce
under proper management. The
"Chili" potato is white and smooth
and about half a pound heavier than
the Chester county product. Mr.. Ar
mour says his plant of the Early Rose
this year has produced the largest of
that variety he ever saw. But the late
crop of potatoes will be very light this
year in this section.
