And. hough 1t 10 filled with
laug hter,
Let 1t be pure and strong.
Sing OF the heas b brimmed over
With the story Of the day.
OF the echo OF childish voices
That will not die away.
OF the blare OF tho tasseled bugle
And the timel. sss clatter and beat
OF the drum tn at throbs to muster
SQuadrons of scNmpering feet
But. oh. let 20, II voice fall fainter
Till. blent wi III a minor tame.
You temper W tur song with the beauty
Ut the pity thirst hath shown.
And sing one = erse for the voiceless
And yet, er,b the song be done.
A verse for the ears that hear not
And ver:ss ( or the sightless one.
For. though It d time for singing

Let low. sweet voice of pathos
Run through u 10 melody.

vnI Rare things are seen by morta
That have the second sight
In st. Marks churchyard then
They see the shape arise
OF him who ruled Nieuw Amsterdam
And here in slumber lies.
His face beneath the close black cap
Has a martial look and grim.
On either side his locks fall wide
TO the broad collars rim.
His sleeves are slashed: the velvet coat
Is fashioned Hollandese
Above his fustian breeches trimmed
With scarf knots at the knees.
His leg Of flesh Is hosed in silk:
His wooden leg IL bound.
As well BELTS q conQueror's.
With silver bands around.
He reads the lines that mark
His tablet on the wall.
Where boldly "Petrus Stuyvesant"
Stands out beyond them all

" IT'S well!" he says and sternly smiles
They hold our memory dear
Nor rust nor moss hath crept across.
Twill last this many q year"
Then down the path he strides
And through the iron gate
Where the sage nine men. his councillors.
Their governor await
Here are Van der Donck and Van Court
landt,
A triplet more Of Vans.
And Hendrick Kip OF the naughty lip
And Covert Loockermans
Jan Jansen Dam and Jansen.
OF whom our annals tell
All risen this night their lord to greet
At sound Of the Christmas bell
Nine iusty forms In linsey coats
Pulled sleeves and ample hose!
Each burgher smokes a Flemish pipe
TO warm his ancient nose. :.
The smoke wreaths rise like mist.
The smokers all are mute,
Yet all with pipes thrice waving slow
Brave Stuyvesant salute.
Then into ranks they fall
And step out three by three.
And he OF the wooden leg and stan
In front walks solemnly.
Along their wonted course
The phantom troop patrol
To see how fares Nieuw Amsterdam
And what the years unroll.
Street after street and mile on mile.
From river bound to bound.
From old St Marks to Whitehall Point.
They foot the limits round:
From Maiden Lane to Corlears Hook
The Dutchmen's pypen glow.
But never a word from their lips Is heard
And none their passing know.
Ere the first streak Of dawn
St Marks again they near.
And by a vault the nine men halt
Their governors voice to hear.
.Mynheeren." he says. I'VE see
Each year our borders spread.
L. one by one the landmarks gone,
And marveis come insteadI
mot even a windmill left
Nor a garden plot We knew,
And but paling marks the spot
Where erst my pear tree grew.
Our walks are wearier STILL
Perchance and 1t were best.
So little of worth is left on earth,
TO break no more our rest"
Thus speaks old Petrus doubtfully
And shakes his valiant head.
When on the roofs a sound OF hoofs,
A rafting. pattering tread.
The bells of reindeer tinkle-
The Dutchmen plainly spy
st. Nicholas. who drives his team
Across the roof tops nigh.
"Beshrew me for . cravenr'
Cries PetruA .An goes WELT
Our patron saint stu makes his round
At sound Of the Christmas bell
SD long as stanch St Nicholas
Shall guard these houses tall
There shall come no harm from hostile
arm,
No evil chance befall
THE youngens and the meisjes
Shall have their hosen filled:
The butcher and the baker
And every honest guild
Shall merrily thrive and flourish.
Good night and be Of cheerl
We may safely lay US down again
To sleep another yearr'
Once more the pipes are waved,
Stout Petrus gives the sign,
The misty smoke enfolds them round.
Him and his burghers nine.

Growth Of ForeIgn PopnIntlon.

Surprise Is expressed because the
forelgn-born population Of New York
city increased faster in the 10 years
ending with 1910 than did the na-
tiyes. There is no real cause for sur
prise in that circumstance however.
Tho same thing was often seen In the
past, New York Is not only the larg-
I est city OF the country but It Is the
principal entrance point for lmmi-
grants as well as for merchandise.
More races are represented on the
streets of New York than are found
in London or Constantinople, More
tongeus are talked there than Babel
ever dreamed Of,
But although New York is growing
three times as fast as London, and
much faster even than our Western
wonder city of Chicago, the proper
ton Of population increase In the
past 10 years being 2S per cent for
Chicago and 3S per cent for New
York, the foreign population of the
bigger town is smaller, relatively,
than II often was In the past. While
It is about 40 per cent Of the total
Of the inhabitants of that town now
II was so per cent Of the total in
1860 New York has quadrupled In
population since then, and the ma
tlyes in It lave increased much fast
er than have the foreigners In this
half century The gain Of the ma
tiyes oyor the foreigners is true Of
the entire country.
About 29,OOO,00O OF immigrants
have landed on our shores since 1920
when the figures first began to be
compiled, with care, and three
fourths Of these have come since
1860 Yet the natives here grow fas-
ter than the aliens. This is a truth
which should be grasped by those
who would shut out immigration
Undoubtedly some Of the immigrants
are undesirable. Most Of them, how
ever, especially OF those who reach
the West, are an asset for the coun-
try There IL room In this region for
mony millions more, OF them. II
would be better for the immigrants
as well as for the East whore most
OF them locate now, II larger pro-
portion Of them came West
