Do me a courtesy, Thou tall white rose; Nobody knows How the rain comes down In the town. Now, in my mind, I see A deep-eyed girl Watching the whirl From the window-pane Of the rain. Slender as thou, is she, All ways as pure, As white, be sure, With thy perfect grace in her face. Do me a courtesy, Thou artless rose; Nobody knows How the rain comes down In the town. Knowing her value, she Has still.no art, Opening her heart from the eommon eye To espy. All know, as well as we, The secret troth Binding us both Or they would surmise From her eyes.

Te oars were lifted into the row-locks, Dorothy takes the E management of the rudder in her 1 hands, and soon. they are gliding I over the smooth surface of the wa ter, leaving a track of silvery bub- t bles behind them.. It is a lovely < ovening. The misty shadows of twilight are gathering in the east and the west ; the clouds, blood. t red and purple, are casting a ros' f light all over .the broad river; a C [resh breeze is blowing round I their faces, and waves splaRh igainst the sides of their boat, like t low, monotonous music.

Fragmentary estimates of the pop lation of cities -and States, as fur ished by the census of the present ear, have been given from time to Lie in the Bun. They .indicate a irger increase in the population of be Southern States than was ex eted, gn.4 it is believed1 th@ this arease will, on the whole, compare girly well with that of the North restern States during the past decade. loe part of this apparent Southern arease may be due to tie greater boroughness with which the present ensus has been taken there in comn arison with the enumeration of 1870. tpart,. however, from this, there has seen a larger increase of population rom inter-State and foreign immiigra ion than most persons are aware of. Texas, as is well known, has been and till is a favorite field for immigration, ,nd the eensus indicates that, from his and from natural causes, the gain n population during the past ten rears,-has been somewhere about nine y per cent. There has also been a ~onsiderable imigiration to some parts f Tennessee, and particularly to the astern counties, where colonies have >een established for dairy and stock aising purposes, and where companies ae been formed within easy reach of he railroads to <develop its mineral esources. So far as heard from he estimated increase of population anges, according to localities, from bree to one hundred and three per ent. In Alabama, in like manner, ssociations of capitalists from other ste ave added to its growth i'n population by establishing furnaces and iron works in that region, so rich in coal and iron ore. In Virginia there has been some immigration from England, but more from Pennsylvania and the Eastern States, large bodies of lands, rich in coal and iron, having been bought up there by Eastern iron masters and others. The estimated increase in population in Florida is over sixty per cent. ; in Arkansas nearly fifty per cent.; in West Vir ginia sixty per cent.; in Louisiana and the other Gulf States about twen ty per cent. As these figures are offi cial, and the appointment of enumera tors is altogether in Republit..n hands, any charge of fraud in the enumera tion is simply ridiculous. It was nat ural that the Southern States, with their abundance of cheap lands, should increase in population when their labor system was adjusted much more rapidly than before, and this is what they have done. THE WORLD'S FAIR IN 1883. Meeting of the Commimioners in New York City Yesterday. NEW YORK, August 10.-The com mission for the United States Inter national Exhibition of 1883 assembled in the Governor's room in the City Hall at noon. Col. Stebbins, of N. Y., acted as temporary chairman. Mayor Cooper welcomed and extended the hospitalities of the city to the commissioners. Thurlow Weed was present, and his appearance was greeted with applause. On motion of Mr. Hunt, of Louisiana, a committee of five on credentials was appointed. Ex Governor Hatten addressed the com missioners, and deprecated in the discussions all allusions to politics. Ex-Lieut. Governor Crawford, of Kansas, was the next speaker. He thought the commissioners should make the fair the greatest the world has ever seen. Mr. Sperry, of Connecticut, was anxious to have the site at once de cided on, as he thought the financial men of the city would then come for ward with the necessary funds. Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, spoke of the peaceful effect that the exhibition would have upon the entire corntry when in the hearty grasp of the hand of fellowship all sectio.nal feeling would be forgotten. The Hon. Algernon Sullivan, representative of New York, addressed the commission ers at length. The report of the committee on credentials was received, and the roll called. Committees on by-laws and temporar~y organization were appointed, after which Samuel A. Haines, chair man of the committee on the ite, presented a long report, and a special committee of twelve was appointed to visit the localities mentioned in that report. A letter was read from Gen. Hancock regretting his inability to attend, but assuring the commissioners of his interest in the undertaking. The following temporary officers were chosen :Henry F. Stebbins, President ; F. L. Taleott, Vice-Presi dent ; George W. IDibevois, Treasurer. THE GENTLEMAN \fH WINS. If you speak the right word at the right time ; if you are careful to leave people with a good im pression ; if you do not tresspass on the rights of others; if you do not put yourself unduly for ward ; if you do not forget courtesies which belong to your position, you are quite sure to accomplish miuch in life which others fail to. This is where the race is not. to the swift nor the battle to the strong. It is where you make people feel. that you are unselfish, and honor able and truthful and sincere, This is what society is looking for in men, and it is astonishing how much meo are able to win self respect and success and usefulness who possess these qualitiee of good breeding. It is almost the turning point of success in prac tical lite. Lovers of peace and quiet are now preparing for a big effort to prove that this country has been laboring under a great mistake ; that the Declaration of Indepen dence was signed February 29 1776. Ther-e's as much craft on land WHAT IEEVNG1A" MOCK. 'I've been a fool!' growled Harp er yesterday as he untied a parcel in his front yard and shook out a new hammock. 'Here I've been r lopping around all through this infernal hot spell when I might just as well have been swinging in a hammock and had my blistered < back cooled off by the Lreezes.' Any one can put up a hammock. All you've got to do is to untie about 500 knots, unravel about I 500 snarls, and work over the I thing until you can tell whether Q the open side was meant to go up a or down. This puzzled Harper o for full -twenty minutes, but he C finally got it right and fastened C the ends to two convenient trees. P Then he took off his hat and i coat and rolled in with g great sigh of relief. No, he didn't quite t roll in. He was all ready to when v the hammock walked away from P him, .and he rolled over on the n grass and came to a stop with a 1 ' roquet ball under the small of his b back. 'Did you mean to do that?' call ed a boy who was looking over the fence and slowly chewing away on green apples. 'Did I? Of course I did ! (it t down off'n that fence or I'll call a t policemanl' The hoy slid down and Harper b brougtit up a lawn chair for the next move. It's the easiest thing d in the world to drop off a chair 0 into a hammock. Lots of men 0 would be willing to do it on a sal a ary of ten dollars per week. The a trouble with Harper was that he n didn't drop all his body at once. Thie upper half got into the ham- 8 mock all right, but the lower half f kicked and thrashed around on a the grass until the small boy, g who didn't mean to leave the neig- n borhood until the show was out, S felt called upon to exclaim: 'You can't turn a handspring with your head all wound up in that ere net, and I'll bet money a on it.' Harper suddenly rested from his labors to rise up and shake his fist at;the young villian, but that didn't help the case a bit. He hadn't got into that hammock y'et. He ~ carefully looked the case over, and ~ I decided that he had his plans too - high. He therefore lowered the net to within two feet of the ground, and he had it dead sure. He fell into it as plump as a bag of shot go ing down a well. He f'elt around tosee if he was all in, and then gave himself a swing. No person can r be happy in a hammock unless the ~ hammock has a pendulum motion. Thiis hammock 'of Harper's was just getting the regular salt water swing gwhen his knots un tied and ~ he came down on the broad of his C back with such a jar that the small a boy felt called upon to observe : 'That ain't no way to level aa lawn-you want to use a regular roller !'d After the victim had recovered conscioLIsness he crawled slowly ~ out, gently rubbing his back on an apple tree, and slowly disappear ed around the corner of the house in search of some weapon wbich would annihilate the hammock at one sweep, and though the boy called to him again and again, ask- ~ ing if a minstrel performance was a to follow the regular show, Mr. Harper never turned his head nor mide a sign.-Detroit Free Press. Seth Green is authority for the statement that 'Plain common sense has more to do with catch- j ing fish than luck has.' This e is true. Common sense dictates 3 a trade with the small boy who has the luck. Seth Green, the fishist, an t nounced that he bad invented a C new fly, and six bald-headed men had to be hold while it was ex plained to them that the inven tion was merely to fool a fish ' with. C Soap bubbles are airy things, but they soon burst. Just so it is with men puffed up with vanity. They c make a show for a season-sail on c the current, but soon burst, and r uothing :s left of them.1 I BLUT UUT A DAY. I keep on a desk before me a :^lendar of the year, with the h; of each week by numerals. Yhe, the day is-passed I draw ny p,n across a figure or the igures :epresenting a day. It is one, anc I blot it out. So far as he column of numerals is con erned, I can do so. But I am startled by the words, I blot out a day.' A day is a cheel in the great machinery of ife,-a link in the chain of my robation. It is as truly a part of ital and essential being as a year r a century. The day is given ae. Will it vanish at my bid ing ? I did not originate it; I nly received it. I have no more ower to blot it out than to bring t in. It was a gift. How shouid I reat the giver if I could and would blot it out? It came as a roof of the love of the Giver. To aany that day came not. It as on its way, but the chain roke. But Divine kindness wouid ot allow me to be a loser. Shall not honor the Giver ? A day of sadness perhaps ! Blot out for that reason? If my ins made the sadness of the day, hen let the day stand-a memen. : of and reminder of my folly. 'hat day is worth saving that rings such a voice of reproof. 'erhaps the day was sad under ivine discipline. Surely, then, it ught to stand lest, blotting it ut, offence be given to him who ffiicts 'for our profit that we fight be partakers of his holi ess. A day of gladness, pdrhaps-the ky bright, the air balmy, joy in iends and all worldly comfort bove all, joy in the Lord and ladness in his salvation. Shall I aar such a beautiful picture ? hall I blot out such a day ? THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE VoRLD.-Prof: R. Proctor found t Reno, in Nevada, a man who laims to be the strongest man in be world. His name is Angelo ~ardela. He is an Italian, aged irtyeight, and stands five feet a height, weighing one hundred nd thirty-eight pounds.

Thbe man stood ith one foot on the floor, his rm outstretched and his hands rasped by two persons to balance is body. Car dela then stooped own and placed the third finger of is right hand under the man's foot, ud deposited him on a table near t hand. Once two powerful Irish ien waylaid Cardela with intent o thrash him, but ho seized one 2 each hand and beat them to ether till life was nearly ham iered out of -them,. He was of uiet and . peaceable disposition, nd his strength. inhberited, for he tates his father was more power ul than himself.

The care of most people is how o get husbands for their daugh er; but my care is to fit my aughters to be good wives ; and hen let God provide for them. Strong in the goodness of his ause, with his back to the throne f God and his foot on the :ock f truth, a man can stand againsat e world, In most quarrels there is a fault n both sides.
