The Three Americas.

The coming together of the dele
gates to the Pan-American congress
makes it pertinent to remind our
readers that Central and South Amer
lea embrace an area a little greater
than twice the extent of country in
the United States and Territories and
a population of about fifty millions,
or about one-sixth smaller than the
population of the Republic.
Mexico covers an area just about
equal to that part of the United
States east of the Missis sippi river,
and Mississippi, and has 100000
inhabitants.
The five Central American Repub-
lies of Costa Rico, Guatemala, Hon
| duras, Nicaragua and Salvador cover
an extent of country about the size
of the five States of New York,
Pennsylvania. Ohio, Michigan and
Illinois, and have population equal
to both New York and Indiana.
Brazil's area is somewhat greater
than that of the United States, ex-
elusive of Alaska, and her population
is about that of New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio.
The Argentine Republic, with
about half the area of the United
States, has a population not quite as
large as Pennsylvania.
Columbia is nearly equal in extent
to New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis
consin, with a population probably a
little less than that of New York
State.
Bolivia's territory is somewhat
greater than that of the Atlantic
States, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Michigan, and has population
about Indiana's figure.
Peru is little larger than the
Atlantic States and Pennsylvania
and her population is about that of
Illinois.
VENEZUELA is larger than Peru by
about as much territory as is embrace
ed in New Jersey, and her. popula-
ton is about equal to that of In
diana.
Ecuador could contain Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Illinois, but her population is not
quite up to that of Michigan alone.
Chili's domain cut up would make
states as extensive as Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana. Her population
is somewhat greater than that of |
Indiana.
Paraguay is big enough to include
Ohio and New York within her bor-
ders, but her entire population
scarcely exceeds that of Cleveland.
Uruguay is not quite as large as
Ohio and Indiana combined, and just
about the same number of inhabi- |
tants as Brooklyn.
The Guianas are English, French
and Dutch colonies. British Guiana,
twice as large as Ohio, has just about
the population of Cleveland, French
Guiana, somewhat larger than Ohio,
has about as many inhabitants as
Toledo, Dutch Guiana, nearly as
large as Pennsylvania, has no more
than Columbia leUe-
land PLAIN Dealer.

Grains of Gold.

Most great works are accomplished
slowly.
The best instruction is to practice
what you preach.
More is accomplished by doing
each days work faithfully than by
crowding two days into one.
The one prudence in life is con-
centration; the one evil is dissipa-
ton; and it makes no difference
whether our dissipation is coarse or
fine.
The lessons of life make deeper
impressions than the lessons Of
books, because they touch the heart
before they reach the head.
Beware of prejudices; they are
rats, and mem minds are like traps.
Prejudices creep in easily, but it is
doubtful if they ever get out.
No one was ever corrected by a
sarcasm, but often driven further in
the wrong way. In teaching always
be kind and patient.
There is no surer mark of the alb
sence of the highest moral and intel
lectual qualities than a cold recep-
ton of excellence.

Susqueco.

Through the shadows cool and dim,
Willow-woven by its rim,
Threading meadow lands of bloom
Where the flowers give it room,
Through a sweet idyllic dream
Runs the naiad- haunted stream,
Ever grooming sweetest song
Where the reeds and rushes throng,-
Through the valleys green and gold
Where the tides of battle rolled
In the stormy days of DID,
Softly glide in rhy thmic flow
The pictured waves of Susqueco.
Susqueco, o Susqueco!
How thy singing waters flow;
From the foutains in the hills,
From the laughing limpid rills
Fed by crystal dew and rain,
Cleaning through the fields of grain,
Dreaming by the slopes of fern
Where the lady slippers burn,
Where the ponderous mill-wheels turn,
Past the miller's dusty doors,
BY the lily whitened shores,
While the sunshine softly lies
On thy mirror of the skies.
Susqueco, o SusquecoI
How dreamily thy waters go
Through the greenwood dusky 9lades,
Past the blue-fags lifted blades,
Where the iris spreads it's wings
And in royal purple swings;
While thy liquid measures float
With the thrushes' mellow note,
Dragon-flies, in airy grace,
In the surfaced shadow space,
Fit and flash across thy face,
Up and down, and to and fro
Blue-mailed knights of Susquecol
Susqueco, o Susqueco!
Whittier do thy waters flow?
Under arches builded wide
Rounded circles in the tide
Under bridges messy brown,
Through the meadows flowing down,
Through the woodland and the lea,
Singing ever towards the sea
Where thy song is hushed at last,
When the idle dream is passed,
In the infinite and vast;
Thither do thy waters flow
Stream of beauty-Susqueco
