A Puritan Love Letter.

Perhaps the oldest, most incongruous.
and with the single exception OF Sam Well
ler's" Valentine" most unoouth love letter
ever written, was one from John Winthrop
to his third wife short time before they
were married. He was Puritan of the
straightest sect; so was she; the two were
equally matched so far, ana he accordingly
addresses her in the strangest adaptation of
Scripture Language to the purposes of court
ship ever seen. He begins: Grace. mercy
and peace etc. My own beloved spouse
my most sweet friend and faithful compan.

with the JOY of thy love, and wanting op.
portuuity OF more familiar communion
with thee, which my heart fervently desires,
/ am constrained to ease the burden of my
mind by this poor help OF my scribbling
pen, being sufficiently assured that. though
my presence is that which thou desirest,

my sweet love, let me awhile solace myself
IN the remembrance of our love, of which
this spring time Of our acquaintance can

A PRIVATE census taken by reason of the
manifest inaccurac y OF the United States
census, discloses the feet in Philadelphia
that instead Of S,377 manufacturing cstab-
lishments in that city, employing l73,
SOP workmen, the correct nun
Der is II ,iS2 establishments, with
237 500 employees. Wherever another census
has been taken following that taken in 1850
by the census bureau, the latter is found TO
be inaccurate. Aud yet it is not finished,
and thousands ofdollars more are demanded
annually TO finish 1t up, II looks as if the
census of 1880 was about the biggest fraud
of its kind which has yet been pefpetrated,
However, to attempt so much in two weeks
in the way Of gathering statistics-statis
tics, in fact, relating to everything pretty
much in the country-was absurd in The
first place. Months ought properly to have
been consumed in the work OF collecting
figures alone, and then the country could
have waited patiently their publication
assured that, when received, they would bt
correct.

Mr.. PARTRIDGE, the American minister
at Lima, Peru, forgot the Monroe doctrine
the other day, and invited the representa-
tives Of foreign powers to join in restoring
peace to the South American republics
He has been, 1t seems, little too much
for his sized breeches, and the president
has notified him that the government dis
approves of his conduct. In the present
uncertainty around our state department,
as to whether or not we have any foreign
policy at ALL it is best for our ministers
abroad MOTTO be too previous. All they
are expected to do is to look wise and draw
their salaries. On occasions when they are
invited QUIT big dinners they can tell how
much the United States thinks of the par
ticular government to which tho speaker
appears to be accredited.

The idea OF systematic instruction of
women in the industrial arts has been sue.
cessiully developed in France, according TO
writer to the London Times. Not only in
paris, but Throughout the country, schools
that teach particular trades to women have
been. formed. In one, nearly 1000 young
women have received thorough training in
millinery, needlework, wood engraving,
painting on porcelain, or designing. Work
shops affiliated to the school by pecuniary
arrangement furnish actual practice. So
successful have been these schools and so
superior the graduates in their work, that
