The strong are weak;
The suet-sprung, soft, sweet sister OF BAD putter
Yet rid of reek.
I that molten Ger the fires beneath me burning,
From void of fat,
rprise supreme in this my creamless churning,
First born of fat!
By the toothsome taste of tongues that ache and
hunger
For something sound;
Take me-the cheap churn-chld of the chaste
cheese monger-
And try pound.

THE GROWTH OF THE COUNTRY

Evidences ofthe growth of the United
States continue to multiply, and while
i'm the nature ofthings dark spot may
be found here and there on the financial
and commercial horizon, yet on the
whole the tendency to Improvement Is
so pronounced as to set at naught the
pessimistic arguments of those who per-
sistently refuse either to promote or
acknowledge the development OF the
country, The cable bears almost daily
testimony to the remarkable tide OF I'M
migration to the United States. In
deed the movement has reach
ed proportions so vast as TO
necessitate the addition of steamers
to the regular fleet Of some ofthe lines;
and the emigrants transported, as the
cable informs us, are destined for the
most part for the West, Northwest and
Southwest, where the development OF
our agricultural and mineral resources
offers an inviting field to the capitalists
as well as to the artisans and the labor
ers of the Old World. 1t is gratifying
to know that by far a majority of the
emigrants now teeming towards Amer
lea are able-bodied men who come here
with the certainty that their labor, be-
ing productive and necessary, will be
rewarded. There is every reason to
believe that the arrivals of for.
eigners during the spring and
summer months will be on a
scale perhaps unprecedented in the his
tory of the country. 1t is well known
that intending settlers bring more or
less ready money with them, and that
therefore in this respect alone the immi-
grafton movement is of Importance;
but the money the emgrants bring with
them is scarcely worth reckoning COM
pared with the advantages of their
skilled labor to a country with the grand
capabilities of development afforded by
the United States. The rapid increase
in population is constantly settling the
great West where villages spring
up as if by magic and lands increase in
value at a rate almost incredible to
those who have not watched the
growth of the West. This immigration
means material addition to the supply
of ready money, large increase i'll the
area of land under cultivation, stimu-
lus to the manufacturing interests, an
increased movement of merchandise
and a heavy traffic for the railroads.
These are considerations of the highest
importance to capitalists, especially to
such as contemplate the employment OF
money in securities for permanent i'll
vcstment.
