NIGHT IN THE COUNTRY.

Oh, bird that fingers in the hus-.
OF twilight as It faileth,
Return ye now unto your nest;
List how your sweet mate callethl
oh, lowing cows, haste to your fold,
Oryou will be beiated-
Fen now the milkmaid loudly calls,
Too long for ycu she's waited
From yonder church the Ginning bells
Ring for the Angelus sweet,
And pious souls, With bended heads,
The evening prayer repeat.
The locusts with discordant notes
a merry concert hold,
As though the coming on of night
Made their small hearts more bold.
The jasmine vine that shades the porch.
Breaks out in sweetest scent,
And waftings from the lily bed
Are with its odors blentl
The low of kline and notes of birds
Grow fainter and more faint,
Even the tireiess katydids
Have hushed their loud complaint.
The glimmering lights begin 10 shine
From many window pane.
And mothers rock their babes and sing
A sweet good night refrain.
To all there comes country peace,
The quiet of night
That is removed from out the world,
Far from the ciiy's sight
Nesr Orleans Pieagnae.

What He Was Trying to Think
OF,


The doctor had been called to see a
German who hadn't been able TO retain
anything on his stomach. In the ex-
amining interview he was telling Of how
he had tried milk in lime water and 80
forth, but he could not remember what
kind Of milk it was.
sOh, how I do wish I eud tole vot
kind of milk dot vas - he exclaimed.
wasn't cow's?"
srNo."
%Goat's?"
"No."
Maybe It was mares milk.
sNo oh, how / do wish cud tole vat
kind Of milk dot vas, anyhow
Then after studying awhile he sudden
" turned 10 his wife and said:
@Wive, vat vas der shackasses' yife's
name2'
That was the kind of milk he was try
ing to think of.-AtlaHta Constitution.

Big Men with Little Wives.

There is very general and ancient
impression that big men in choosing
wives prefer small women. At first
glance this would appear to be true, be-
cause the number of big men with little
wives is certainly in n-an overwhelming
majority as we see them In the five
years I have held my office | have learn
ed thing or two through the medium
Of the marriage license office, and II IS
my impression that II is not that big men
prefer little women, but thatlittle women
prefer big men, and it IS the experience
of the world-wise that what a woman
wants and starts out TO get she generally
captures Globe D,mocra.

ShrewdIy Done.

Some time ago was trading in a VII
lage store, says correspondent, when
one of the clerks came TO to the junior
partner, who CHANGED to be waiting on
me, and said
Wont you please step to the desk a
moment? Pat Flynn wants to settle his
bill, and insists on having receipt
The merchs Mt was evidently annoyed.
'Why, what does he want of a receipt2H
he said We never give one. Simply
cross his account off the book; that is
receipt enough
so l told him." answered the clerk,
"but he is not satisfied. You had better
see him."
So the proprietor stepped to the desk,
and after greeting Pat with q good
morning" said, "You wish to settle your
bill, do you?" to which Pat replied in
the affirmative.
"Well," said the merchant, there IS
no need of my giving you receipt. See
| will cross your account off the book,
and suiting the action to the word, h e
drew his pencil diagonally across the
account. THAT is as good as a receipt
"And do We mane that that settles it 2'
said Pat.
That settles il, said the merchant
"And ye're shure yen never be afther
askin me fur it again"
"We'n never ask you for itagain," said
the merchant, decidedly.
Faith, thin," said Pat, "and III be
afther kapin' me money in me pocket,
for haven't paid it yet"
The merchants face flushed angTily,
as he retorted, ~Oh, well, can rub that
out"
Faith, now, an l thought that same,
said Pat.
II is needless to add that Pat obtained
his receipt. Youths Companion.

Inhabitants of
 ra.a -.l

It will be seen that the proportion of urban population has increased gradual ly during the past century from S.S5 up to 29. l2 per cent, or from one.thirtieth up to nearly one-third of the total popu- lation.
 The increase has been quite regular from the beginning up to 1880, while from 1880 to 1890 it has made leap from 22,57 to 2o.12 per cent, thus illus trating in forcible manner the acceler- ated tendency of our population toward urban life. The number of cities hay ing population of more than s0O0 in- creased from six in l790 to 2S6 in 1880, whence it has leaped to AS in 1890. Nearly 50 per cent of the entiie city population may be found in the North Atlantic division. ana in that same divi- sion over half of the population is con- tained in cities of 5000 or more inhabit- ants. The growth of population in the cities of that division during the decade has been nearly A per cent, and in the rural districts barely 20 per cent.
 The growth in population from large cities will be studied with great inter- est, as it shows the tendency of the times to mass population and enterprise, and if continued for two more decades may leave us nation half industrial and half agricultural. So long as the pro- gress of our cities is not made at the of the rural districts it isa mat ter for rejoicing, but if he cities begin. as they have done in England, to devour the best and strongest of the country and leave them to the tene- ment houses and slums of the great commercial centers, with little hopes for the future, it will be a migration that may well be looked upon with some- thing akin to alarm.
Arizona republican., 1891-04-24

IT is severe loss to Arizona that the President was not enabled to visit Phe- nix while en route to California. Pass ing across the Territory along the South ern Pacific at this season of the year is one of the most disagreeable trips i'm aginable. Mile after mile is covered and the only greeting to the eye is barren sage-brush plains, from which the dust arises in almost stifening clouds. The only considerable cultivated spot in the Territory is here in the Salt River Valley and it is now at it's best. Coming off the main travelled route into the beautiful green fields and splendid orchards the sight would have been as pleasing as was that which greeted the Presidents eye upon entering the wonderful Santa Ana valley in Califor- mia, after crossing the mountain pass which separates it from the Col orado desert. It is not for the desire to entertain the President that it is to be regretted that he could not come here, but for the loss of the advertisement the city and valley would have received from his visit. Accompa- nying his train are representatives of the great news gathering associations of the country, and every day 60,0O0,00O people read the accounts of the Presi- dents trip and the description of the places visited. With it's reputation for deserts and Gila monsters, the news that here, at the capital of Arizona, the President had been shown splendid irri- gation systems and magnificent young orchards and vineyards, would have been revelation to thousands of read CTS that would have made them wish to learn more of us. It is like man missing the one great opportunity of his life time--he never fully realizes what his loss has been.
