see ma has got great big bath sponge, as
big az chair cushion, and this
morning | took the sponge and
filled it with warm water, and
took the feather cushion out of the
chair pa sits in at the table, and put the
sponge 10 Its place, and covered it over
with the cushion cover, and when we all
got set down to the table pa come in and
set down to to the table and sat on II to
ask blessing. He started in by closing
his eyes and placing his hands up in front
OF HIM like a letter V, and then he began
to ask that the food we we're about to par
take of be blessed and then he was going
on to ask that all of US be made to see the
error Of our ways, when he began to hitch
around, and he opened one eye and looked
at me, and | looked as pious as boy can
look when he knows the pancakes are get
ting cold, and pa he kind of sighed and
said amen" sort Of snappish, and got up
and told ma he didn't feel well, and she
would have to take his place and pass
around sassage and potatoes, and he looked
kind Of scarf and went out with his hand
on his pistol pocket, as though he would
like to shoot, and ma she got up aud went
around and sat in pas chair. The sponge
didn't hold more than half pail full of
water, and didn't want to play no joke on
ma, cause the cats nearly broke her up, but
she sat down, and was just going to help
me when she rung the bell and called the
hired girl, and said she felt as though her
neuralgia was coming on, and she would
go to her room, and told the girl to sit
down and help Henry. The girl sat down
and poured me out some coffee, and then
she said: Howly Saint Patrick, but blave
the pancakes are burning, and she went out
in the kitchen. drank my coffee, and then
took the big sponge out of the chair and
and put the cushion in the place of it, and
then put the sponge in the bath room,
and went into pa and mas room and asked
them if | should go after the doctor, aud
pa had changed his clothes and got on his
Sunday pants, and he said, "never mind
the doctor, guess we will pull through"
and for me to go out and go to the devil
and | came over here. Say, there is no
harm 10 little warm water, is there9 Well,
I'd like to know what pa and ma and the
hired girl thought. I am the only really
healthy one there is in our family.-[Ex-

Disappearance of the Yankee.



The report of the New Hampshire Board
of Health contains tabulated summary
of the reports of the officers of cities and
towns, showing the number of births.
marriages and deaths in each township in
1881. From this it appears that 4,615
babies were born in this State that year,
2.415 being boys, 2,123 girls, and IS
ssnot stated" OF these 2,744 were of
American parentage, 633 were chill
dren of foreigners, $50 were of mixed
ancestry. the fruit of marriage between
Americans and foreigners, and 542 were
classed as unknown. 1t should be stated
in this connection that all persons born
in this country are returned as Amerl-
cans. though their parents may have come
from abroad Immediately before their
entry into this world, Bearing this IN
mind, and the further fact that those
children reported as unknown" are
nrobablv in most instances the children
of foreigners, and it seems fair to
conclude that not more than half the
babies included in the list can properly
be called Yankees; and we suppose, If
the facts could be known, 1t would appear
that not one in four can trace his descent
back more than two or three generations
without crossing the ocean or the Can
adian line Four thousand six hundred
and fifty persons died in the State in 1881,
and of these 3,642 were Americans,
44O were frreigners and SOP were
of unknown origin. From this
if appears there was an actual loss of 800
in the American population Of the State
from the excess ofdeaths over births. If
we consider in connection with this the
steady streams of emigration which carry
our Yankees South and fill their places
with Canadians and Irishmen, the con-
c1usion is forced upon us that the year is
NOT far away when the race that settled
New Hampshire and has furnished the
brain and Drawn that have made the little
commonwealth famous, will have become
practically extinct in this State.
