At the taking of the first census under the Federal Constitution in 1790 the popu lation of the United States amounted to 3,929,727. At intervals of ten years the census has been taken regularly, and the result at each period is as follows : Census of 1790 3,929,727 Census of 1800 5,305,925 Census of 1810 7.2S9.814 Census of 1820 " 9,648,131 Census cf 1830 ; . 12,866,020 -Census of 1840 , , 17,068,453 Census of 1850 , . . 22,191,876 ,. According to the best calculation, the seventh census of? the United States to be taken this year, 'will result about as fel lows: . Whites. : 127,000,000-: Slaves ' ' " , 4,000,000 Free Blacks ' 500,000 32,500,000 A cat belonging to a widow lady in Ohio lately sat upon a half a dozen of ducks eggs and continued her attention until the eggs were hatched, and there is now a fine brood of six young ones half duck; and half cat, having ducks heads and cats'tails but, what is more wonderful they mew and quack alternatly. ' It is stated that the members of a late court martial run op a bill of four hundred and fifty, dollars against the government for port wine. "We suppose those, men of war thought they must make portholes of their nr 'hs. ' ' - : ' Miscellaneous. Children and Flowers. It is as natural for children to love flowers as it is for them to breathe, and to delight in frolicsome sports and bright sunshine. Every man, of an observing mind, must have noticed this characteris tic and beautiful trait of childhood. It is more observable in-girls th3D ia boys, showing, even at that early age, that de licate refinement cf taste and feeling, that quicker perception of the beautiful, which so conclusively . demonstrates the finer, and, in that respect, more perfect organization of the'gentler sex. If any one for a moment doubts this inborn love of flowers, so frequently- displayed by children, let him carry a fine' bouquet by a group of them while at play, and see how quickly their attention will be arres ted. Notice how they will pause in their sports, and how eagerly they' will eye the treasure in your possession. If you are yourself one who can truly Jove and appreciate such beautiful evidences of God's beauty, can see and feel their use and value to yourself and fellcw-beings in this hard, col I world, your heart will be warmer with fresher enthusiasm as you catch the childish exclamations of pleas ure at the sight of flowers : for if vou lin ger but a moment in their midst, or once let the smile in your hearts rise to your eye and lip, the little rogues, overcoming their natural timidity, will quickly beset you with the most earnest looks and per suasive language to . share you floral wealth with them. They will gather around you; "and you will hear, "See those flowers ain't they beauties?" "Please, sir, won't you give me one, just one ?" .."And. me too, and me ! me !" all around the circle. . This is no fancy sketch. The writer has tried the experiment a score of times; nor is he the first to have , noticed and to have rejoiced at .this pleasant, hopeful traitin children. Surely, anxious; thought ful parents should be auick to discover, ap preciate and use the knowledge tbus af forded. How cheaply, by means of.flow ers. can we gladden little hearts, busy little hands, teach little minds. Then, too, the influence of flowers on ourselves will be scarcely less than on these little ones. If we cultivate them,- adorn our homes with them, learn to value: their si lent preaching, their gay colors, their thousand varied forms arid delicious rra grance.we shall experience a new sense, derive a never failing and innocent plea sure from their presence, that will make us better and wiser men. VVe too were children once, and loved flowers and all that was true and pure in the world; and the old love is not dead, but sleeps, and if we but will it, we may revive the old joyous time, and be, while among our flower beds, children once more. Let everv one. then, deem it a duty as well as a great privilege to culti vate flowers. They will make your nome pleasanter and dearer in the eyes of eve ry member of the - household, they will helu attach vour children to it they will amuse, Interest and instruct both them and you. .Those who love their homes. trees, flowers, green lawns, and vine-clad porches, have no need to ramble for plea sure, no happier spots to find .on earth. Be. wise, farmer friends; all these joys belong to you and yours; and you will ap preciate them all the more, because, they come of taste, care and industry, rather than wealth. .'.'). Why Ladies do not Fall Gracefully. Fanny Fern says, in the Ledger, that she never saw a woman fall down grace fully ! Did she ever see a man fall gra cefully, I would inquire ? . It is not ex actly a pleasant thing for any one to fall, either on slippery streets or rough ones. But is it not better to tell young ladies how lo stand up than to laugh at them for falling down? Please tell us why it is so needful for a woman to hold on to a man. Mrs. Fanny, in order that she may es cape this terrible 'catastrophe of having her new cloak put into wrinkles, and her bonnet jammed, and her gloves split op en, by the sudden concussion of her hands against the pavement. Why ? Because they don't walk enough to learn how. -Boys go bounding along the streets with perfect abandon. Men set their feet do.vn as if the earth was made for them to stand erect upon. But women, espe cially women who are "well .to do," as the phrase is, go toppling, and slipping, and mincing along, and must needs take the time and strength of a man to hold them up. I only want to see a woman walk upon the street, to know her habits of life. In dainty slippers, the tee supported woman treads her Brussels carpets, - and trips up and down her softly draped stairs, till the inequalities of the street are perfect lions in her way, and she dares riot brave them though health, strength and - duty, all lie beyond, wooing her to their embrace. There is a great deal of talk about wo men spinning "street yarn." Wi3h there were a thousand webs to be woven out cf it every day. They would be webs cf cloth of gold to many a toiling heart, dra ping of rose color for the pale cheek, strength for the arms cf. the weak, and sandals of power for the feet of the trem bling. ' ' " ' ' Now, I fancy I hear some one say, Mrs. Gage is always harping on that sub ject the out-door life of woman. My good friend, whoever you are, I wish I had a harp of a hundred strings to play I would use them all. As I travel on. through th9 country, I find no well wo man all have aches and painsall have debility aud weakness till it has beccme so fashionable, that women are ashamed of good health and vigorous life, and ac tually boast of enjoying poor health. : We cannot talk too much about it. We can not impress too strongly upon the minds of the people the necessity ef more phy sical strength for the women of our land. I do not complain that women do not la bor enough,' but that their employments are not healthful. Every man whose business is in-doors, feels and knows that he must have out door, active exercise, or his life is sacri ficed to his business. He walks, and rides, and strives fcr that which is prefcratli to richeshealth and -vigor; tut sees his wife drooping at home, and never for a moment reflect that her whole lite is a pri son confinement, compared with his own. Shut in close rooms, perhaps bound to a cooking stove, with no objects or aims out of doors, she does not spend ten .minutes a day in the open air on an average ot?ce in a week, especially m winter ; and when she does go out she is pinched with cold. pierced with the winds, slips up on the ice, &c, takes coIJ, gets rheumatism, neuralgia, headache, toothache, cr some other of the three hundred and sixty-five aches that modern women claim a3 their peculiar heritage, arid the matter ends in her not going out again till another nec essity calls for it, and then the same round goes on over again. "Who's to blame?" you ask. Every body law and gospel, custom and habit, men and women; but, most of all, Mrs. Grundy, the daughter cf public opinion, and the wife of Mr.- Uppertendom Grun dy, the millionaire, who, like' the Jugger naut of India, compels her victims to throw themselves beneath their carriage wheels, and without one twinge cf con science, crushes out the live? of her vic tims by. thousands in this civilized and christianized country of ours. It's time to rebel. Don't you think so? The "Sellout" Fever, Do you know Jenkins ? He hain't liv ed here long; came, from t'other place, where he staid but a little while. If you know Jenkins, you are aware that he ain't quite satisfied here, and talks of "selling out," and hunting up a better lo cation. This will make his tenth remo val within the past' fifteen years. You see, Jenkins is an energetic and go-ahead individual, who is intent upon making his "pile" of a sudden. The usual way of acquiring riches, with experience and gray hairs', is not the way for Jenkins. He was a farmer's boy wa3 given a good piece of land, and a good start of "stock things." But this . raising a , crop only once a year was too slow business, and our Jenkins "sells out," gets a stock of good3, partly on credit, and turns mer- j chant. Six months thereafter, and when hts goods were well sold out, and rather unjudieious credit given, and Jenkins' notes began to fall due, he concludes store-keeping is a miserable business, and he 'sells out pretty well plucked, and rents a hotel and goes to tavern keeping. Thence he imagines he has talent, by talking tr travelers, and school teachers, and bar-room politicians; and "sella out" tavern-keeping, leaving a portion of his rent unpaid, and turns to studying law or physic, with a surreptitious design of practicing. But soon he wonders at the miserable live it affords him and 13 en vious of and denounces the old lawyers and doctors of the town, who are entitled to the public confidence and patronige they are receiving, because of their life long devotedness to their profession. Having exhausted the round of pursuit in his native town and vicinity, Jenkii s "sells out" finally all his remaining little stuff, including "lock, stock, and barrel," aal emigrates. He discovers tha't Texas or'California is just the place for him, and off he goes, with wife and children, and just money enough to get them there by deck passage. . Now, when our Jenkic3 gets to Texas, it looks quite fine at first. For he is a can of considerable energy and hope but he is ever killed up" by his want of steady perseverance of a balance wheel. He soon finds that money i3 a3 scarce, and crops as slow, and times as "tight," if not "a little tighter," than they were back in good, old "Sucker." Then the new country and climate had it. draw backs. : ' And wife was homesick, and the child ren dissatisfied and sickly. At length Jenkins groaned for his old home, and his old father sent him on means enough to get back to the Prairie State, as thin as slab, and as poor as a church mouse. Jenkins then began to work around ; at length rented a cheap farm, "sold out." and went to teaming, and then to work ing in a saw mill, where he wa3 struck by a log and crushed to death. Poor Jenkins, having lived hard, died. His children were left as legacies to friends and. the poor house. . And yet, Jenkins brothers and other neighbor. boys, not a bit more talented or industri ous than he, were living on their good farms, doing well and independent. They had stuck to their business, and had never taken the sell out fever, so disas trous to many ia the West and in fact in ail the Slates. , Look around you, upon every hand, in city and country, and we see this fever raging and destroying. It is' one of the fatal by-paths that deccy3 the energies of Americans from legitimate, regular and prospered , business occupation. Alton Democrat. , ' . Advertise your risinest.'
