POETICAL.
AS THE WIND BLOWS,
The wind blows north, tho wind blows souilu
Tho wind blows cast andflcsti
No matter how tho free wind blows,
Some ship will find It best t
Some one out on the whle, w tdo sea
Shouts with a happy nlr,
"Ho I shipmates, ho I set all the sails,
The wind Is blowing fair I"
Ono ship sails out Into tho east,
Another to tho west 1
One has to struggle fierce and hard,
By winds aud waves oppressed
Under bare masts, tossed to nnd fro,
By rain and salt spray wet
Tho other Illes before the gale
With nil her white sails set.
"O wind, O wind, why dost thou blow,
And out to ocean roar,
When I would steer my lltllo bark
Toward some pleasant shore t
What honor will It Ins to tlioo
If down beneath tho wave
My simple craft nud I shall find
A cold, forgotten grave?
"O foolish one, why wilt thou stt-er
Against tho mighty gale t
There are ten thousand ships afloat,
Beside thy tiny sail.
If thou would float o'er pleasant bosh,
Oppo90 my will no more ;
When I blow shoreward, then do thou
Sail alio to tho shore.
"Yet If thy will with tnlno must Btrlve,
Do then tho best thou can ;
Against all my might set all tky skill,
And fight me like a man.
Stand by tho wheel, steer steadily,
Keep watch above, below j
Such hearts will make tho porta they seek,
No matter what wind blows "

Her follower crossed too, and was soon

still further, and crossed back to tho
side where Felix, was walking and
quietly watching. With unabashed
impudence, the man again followed In
her wnke, and continued pleading, in a
half whining, half threatening tone for
alms. The young lady, terribly fright-
encd, paid 110 heed, save by putting
extra pressure on her speed. "
Felix became very soon master of
the situation. Tramps, ready to take
advantage of tho helplessness of lonely
way-farers, were common enough in his

"Don't speak of it; I am very glad I

know was that tho moments seemed
very sweet and very brief. Before ho
imd time to fully realize his position,
ho was brought to a stand still before

The English Sparrow,
"What sort of a bird is thist"
"This is an Knglish sparrow. IIo
cannot carry off a lamb, like tho eagle,
no is ho provided with teeth and
claws like tho tiger, but ho leaves his
mark all tho same."
"How did he get hero!"
"A philanthropist brought him over
from England."
"What is a philanthropist !"
"He is a cross between a lunatic and
an idiot."
"What did ho want to bring the
sparrows to America for!"
"Because ho hated tho country nnd
wanted revenge. It wasn't enough
for him that we have Bmall pox, yellow
fever, cholera, droughts, floods, cy
clouts and forest fires and grass-hoppor
plagues."
'What aro tho chief merits of tho
sparrow !"
"His beautiful voice and lovable
nature. His song is so much sweeter
than a file rasping over cast-iron, that
people have died after hearing it,"
"How does he employ his tune
"In screaming, fighting nnd voting
early and often."
"Where docs ho build his nest!"
"In tho cornices of houses. If ho
could have the uso of 1,000 trees rent
free he would turn up his nose at tliu
offer. IIo couldn't damage a tree any,
but bo can make it necessary to paint
a houso every month."
"Of what is his nest composed !''
"Of everything he can handle ex
oept old oyster cans and empty beer
bottles."
"Does tho hard-hearted citizen ever
destroy thoso nests!"
'JIo does. When his family
clothes line, or cross-bar, or long
handled shovel is missing ho pulls
down a nest and recovers tho lost
articlo."
"What does tho poor sparrow do
then!"
"He rebuilds."
"Can ho be discouraged 1"
"If his nest was pulled down 15,000
or 201000 times he might commence to
feel down hearted, but thoso who have
routed him out uOO or GOO times have
not seen him even change counto
unncc."
"What otier birds does bo agree

"The btr.xard aud polecat. lie is

The Men of the Country,
According to a table compiled at the
Census Bureau there weie 13,830,fll9
males of tweuty-ono years of ngo nnd
over in tho United Stales in 1880.
That total was made up of 8,'JTO
51B white native, 3,072,187 wliito
foreign, nnd 1,487,311 colored men.
among tho colored were included
Chinese, Jnpanese, and Indians, but
of courso tlio vast majority were of
African blood. Something nbove n
quarter of tho males of a voting age
were, therefore, foreign born, and
about one-ninth were colored. For
eign aud colored together made up
nearly one-third of the total.
It must be borne in mind, however,
that a very considerable part of tho
foreign born wcio uot qualified to vot-,
not having yet been naturalized. And
this proportion must have been large
in 1880, for during that year nearly
half n million immigrants arrived in
tho United States, a greater number
than in any inovious year, 1873 alono
oxcepted. But perhaps it would bo
safe to say that about one-fifth of tho
voting population of the Union were
of foreign birth, ngniust something like
a tenth of African descent, ami about
two-thirds of native whites.
About nine-tenths of tho negroes
were in tho Southern States, but of
the more than three million foreign
bom men, less than three hundred and
fifty thousand were found there, aud
of these all but about seventy thousand
were in tlio States of Missouri, Texas,
Maryland, Kentucky, and Louisiana.-
Tho foreign-born men actually ex
ceeded the native in tlio States of
Minnesota, Nevada, and Wisconsin,
and in tho ten lories of Utah nnd Da
kota. Willi the help of its Chinese
population, almost wbollv men, Cali
fornia had 127,317 foreign to 135,i30!)
native. In Jsew lork the foreign
wero 530,598, against 852,091 native,
while Illinois had 277,899 foreign and
505,272 native, and Massachusetts 170
600 foreign aud 320,002 native.
In 1880, when the total male popu
lation of twenty one nnd over was
13,830,3-19, the whole number of votes
cast at tho Presidential election was
9,201,428. In the first total, however,
aro included Chinese, Indians, and un
naturalized foreigners not qualified to

Handing the Minister the Wrong Notice to
neaa iquai to tne ucoasion.
Tho peoulo of a little town in War
rick County have been hanging right
over the brink of a church scandal, but
are not aware of the fact, nor will they
be -until a copy of the Argun reaches
its readers over there. Just before tho
close of the services last Sunday a good
brother walked forward to tho pulpit,
handed the minister an announcement,
as ho thought, and asked him to read
it to the congregation before ho dis
missed them. Just before timo
was called on tho Doxology the minis
ter said :
"Brother Brat nicy has handed in tho
following," and in a clear voice he
read the note, which ran as follows:
"Mv Own Pirr Bkam: Are you
never coming to see me again ! I am
dying to see my darling once more nnd
ga.o into his bi loved eyes. The old
mummy thnt calls herself your wifo
will never find it out. How canyon
endtiro her! Come, darling, to one who
truly loves you. Your own and only
"Mahv."
Tim good brother had handed iu the
'wrong announcement. At the close
of tho reading the minister looked
horror-struck, tho congregation stared
at Bramley with cold, hard stares, and
his wife rose up iu her seat and glared
at htm like a tigress. He was equal to
tho occasion, however, and, rising
calmly and with a look of perfect res-
guatiou on his face, he said :
"BuoTiir.its and SibTKiis: It may
appear strange to you that 1 should
ask our beloved pastor to read such a
terrible thing as that from the pulpit,
but tho best way to fight tho devil is to
tight mm boldly faco to face. The.
liter ot that vilo noto is unknown to
tne, but is evidently some depraved
child of sin who is endeavoring to bo
smirch my Christian reputation, I
shall uso every endeavor to ferret out
tho writer, and, if discovered, will
fearlessly proclaim her name and hold
her up to the contempt of all good
Christian people."

A Cure for Sunstroke.
For an ellective uuro for sunstroke
the following is especially commended :
Kemove the patient to a shaded spot

posture, tho back against a wall with
tlio feet and legs resting upon tlio
sidewalk and extended iu front of the
body. Get ice water nnd a bottle of
some strong essence of ginger Pour
tho ice water over thu head, copiously,
wver mind the clothes. Then po ir
two or three tablespoonfuls of ginger
ii about half a tumbler of water and
make the patient swallow it quickly.
Keep tho head cool by using a little
of tho ice water, and in case there is
not much of a glow upon the body
give more ginger. If tho diieeliuns
are followed thero will bo no occasion

July.
Inly was originally tho fifth month
of iho Hoinan e.ir. In tho Albion
calendar it had a complement of
twenty six days. Julius dinar in
creased it to tliirty-oiio days, beeausu
he felt a personal interest in it being
his natal month. Alter the liamo of
Ciesar, Maro Antony gave it tho name
of July, in honor of Cttnar'b family
name, the mouth uelug selcoted lor
lids distinction, because it is the hot
test of the year, tho sun being then
most potent, whereby it was dmi'-led
that Julius was tlio Fmperor of the
world.
Our Saxon ancestors called July
Hey Momith, because it was tho
mouth for making hay. July is nssuui
ed all over tho northern hemispheres to
bo tho warmest month of the year,
notwithstanding tlio sun has then
commenced his course of secession
from the tropic of cancer, which is
owing to tho accumulating effect of
the heat, while the sun Is still so loug
nbove the horizon.
