The evening light eouiea from the Wcit
In atreaina of golden glory;
f Bo fold your head, love, on my brraat
And hear my olden atory,
Tia flve-and-twenty yeera, my dear,
Sinee, heart and bande together, '
We launched our bark, tbe ocean cloor
And all eerena the weather,
With lira pie truat in Providence,
We act the aaila upon bcr j
My fortune, bone and eommon eeniej
Your dower, love and Ironor.
For flve-and-twenty yeara, my dear,
The billowa lightly akimuing
Ono day the akiee urew murk and drear,
Our eyce and apirite dimming.
How dark that night frowned overhead.
When hope forcaew no morrow.
And we boiide our firitling dead
Drank our flret cup of forrow.
'Tie flra-nnd-twenty yeara, my dear,
Yet mtitie'a In our dwelliog.
Thechildron'a prattle that wo bear
About our hearth odc awelling.
Ood bkM them all, the loving band
80 glad to call yon mother ;
With heart to heart and band to hand,
, Clinging to une another. ,
Thro' fire-and-twenty yeara, my dear,
Whene'er my arm wu weary,
And eearce I knew the way to atcer, ,
Your worde were ever cheery.
When mid tbe tempeat and tl. night,
With oourege aorely abrinkina;, . -
Then on our way Uod gave ua light
That kept our faith from aioking.
'Tia flve-and-twenty yeara, my dear,
Slight change in you revealing t
Hut o'er my brow yon tee them bore
Tbe ailver halra are itralinf.
Yrt M them come, while still thy breast
Hotaina the food emotion
That nerved my arm when flrat we prcst
Our way oat on life'i ocean.

Washington, Sept. 1!). Tho grout
pnblio mny huvo forgotton that ono of
tho last nets of President Johnson was
to remove from office, or retire from
tho activo list, Brevet Muj. Gon. B.
W. Unco, i'aymabter Gcncrnl of the
Unitod Slates Army. Disobcdionco
of orders, or indifference to them,
which is tho snmo tiling, was the en uso
of tho President's action. Tho clnp
trap cry was instantly sot up by Brico
ana his claqueurs that "Brico was
known to bo a Iriond of Grant, honco
was disliked by Johnson," Ac. That
was enough, vholhor truo or not. Tho
very first ollieuil act of 1 resident
Grant was to rcinstato Brico as Pay-
mustcr-uunorul at tho head ot tho ruy
Department.
Wo are now told hy Prosidont
Grant's principal organ in Now York
thnt Dodge's defalcation is manifestly
tho result of "tho carelessness of the
chief of tho Dopnrtinont" Gon. Brice,
that his examination of llodgo's no
counts, as required by the law and
regulations of the Department, "wus
omitted bocauso of bis favoritism, and
frpm tho vicious system which has
prevailed in tho Pay Dcpnilincul,
whoso cniol is, cy ins hit hi is, incapa
citated for doing business, and who
lends an easy faith to others, while he
neglects tho affairs of his own office."
DRUNKENNESS IN 111 (ill PLACES.
This is strong testimony against
Brico, but what elso can be expected
of an army officer but "incapacity for
doing business," who is in the daily
habit of associating wilh tho Chief
Executive of the nation, whoso lotno
habits" have become more "vicious"
than Brico't evor woro. The Presi
dent should not set bud exnmplos. ' A
reform is required in olhor channels

' CENSUS TACTS.
Tho advance sheets of tho consus
report, just published anj forwnrdod
to tho press and stalislicans by the
ablo Superintendent, Mr. Walkor, form
volume of great iiiteroat. Its publi
cation has been long dolayod, by the
incorrectness ot the consus in some
localities and tho loss of returns, from
others renderings renumcrntlon n Odes
sa ry ; but, considering these causes of
Ueluy, although lourleen months huvo
elapsed since the consus was taken, the
publication comes as carlyas could bo
expected. In fu lines, arrangement,
and accuracy the sheets now issued do
crodit to the snperintondent. They
con lain fonr tables, 1., of population
by Stales und lcrnlories, lrom 17UO

1700 to 1870; 111., population by
towns, school districts, cities, or wards,
nntivo and foreign j IV., general na
tivity, 1 fr0 to 1870, and foreign pnr-
ontago, 170.
The first thought that those sheets
stiggost to tho advocate of the tariff
reform is in regard to tho' population
of New-England Stales. Only two
Statos In the Union show decrease
of population since 1800, and those
ire not States at the South, where the
ravai'es of civil war have beon great

Tho' population of Now Hampshire,
3'J(I.073 in 1800, is now only 818,300,
and the population of Maine, 628,279
in 1800, is now 620,015. In each of
these Stales largo manufacturing in
terests exist, and the agricultural pop
ulation, if bonofiltod anywhere by a
bettor "home mnrket" for thoir pro
ducts, as Protectionists pretend, would
have been so benefited nnv hud those
results followed the tariff of 1861.

fit has resulted lo industries in those
Slates from tho tariffs imposed since
1800, or that any improvement in the
"home market" has rondorod farming

If wo exniriiiio tho tuhlo of popula
tion by towns, It at onco appears that
this general decrease of population
has beon inspito of an increase in somo
manufacturing towns, ant) bocuuso of
a very general and rapid loss of popti
lullon in agricultural districts. Tims,
in Now Hampshire, thero is a decrease
in tho great majority of towns, and so
lurgo a decrease as lo more than bul
anco a considerable increase In such
towns as Keono, Muneboster, Milford,
Nushua, and Milton, and smaller in
crease in about twenty other towns
moro or less interested in manufuo
luros. Tho net result, as shown by
tho census, then, is thut ton years of
Potcclion have pormilted a moderate
increuso In tho chief manufacturing
towns, but have caused a rapid de
population of the agricultural districts,
which tho imaginary improvement of
tho "homo market" has by no mcuns
cheeked. In consequence, tho State,
as a Whole, has suffered.
In Maine, tho industry most sori
ously affected bus bocn that of ship
building, and consequent injury to ag
riculture, lumboring, und other indus
tries dependent upon it, is clearly
shown by the census returns. No
figures need bo quoted hero to i(lus
tralo the well known prostration of
that great brunch of industry for
which this Stalo has especial advatil
ages, nor is it noodful to do more than
mention the actuul decrease, of popu
lation, in a Stalo so munificently en
dowed by nature, to show that the
system of Protection has been a blight
and a curse lo Maine.
When tbo census returns of proper

The summer tourist who goes out
to Shirley Point, near Boston, to par-
lake of lull's fish dinners, will not fail
to observe a cerium extensive ruin
there situalo. It is a group of build
ings, comprising, within a lofty in
closure, a set ofeopper smelting works,
and a long rowol dwellings and work
shops : iu fact, a village of apparently
200 orSOO inhabitants, fur whose labor
I ho works, and for whoso lodgment
tho dwellings, hud boon elaborately
and systematically constructed. But
not a single soul now tenants shop,
factory, or dwelling. All is as desert
ed as Goldsmith's "Auburn." The
east wind whistles through tho un-
glazed windows of the collages, bats
nit through the doors, and owls hoot
dismally in tho deserted belfry of the
fuctory. And as tho "loveliest village
of tho plain" was depopulated by the
oppression ol u tyrannical monarch,
so this villago by tho sea has been
dospoiled through the workings of a
law of Congress passed to "protect
American Industry." In plain words,
tho ruin of Shirley Point is a mourn
ful monument of the present tariff.
A few years ago, the village at Shirley
Point was doing a thriving business
smelling copper ores, and tho villager
wore living comfortably off tho wuges
of tho men employed in tho works,
whon down swooped Chundlcr, of
Michighnn, champion of American
industry, and pushed through Con
gress a new tariff on copper ores.
For one of the results of which, and a
fair and cogent illustration of how
Protection protects, go to Shirley
Point and inspect the ruins there.

A DEAR WAT TO PAT Tni DEBT.
John V. Alexander, in bis speech at
Mogndore, said tho "tariff was paying
tho national debt." Perhaps it is, but

it will take to liquidHlo that debt by
means of tho Unti l1 Here are the
facts : The annual consumption Of the
country in throe articles of manufac
tured iron, and col'.on, and woolen
fabrics, in tho 1870, reached fhe sum
of G50,000,000. Of this, th vulue of
(70,000,000 was imported, tho remain
der produced ut homo. On these aiu
clos, the tariff compelled us to pay an
aggregate duty of 52 i percent, which
paid to the govern meut, as the popular
contribution from those source toward
the liquidation of the national debt,
the gross su m of 842,780(000. At the
same limo, however, it taxed us, for
tho exclusive benefit of the monopo
list, fur whose, "protection" this tariff
wus instituted, in the gross sum of
f 270.000,000 1 In olhcr words, this
beautiful scheme of a tariff for the
purposo of paying tho national debt
taxes llio people eight dollars in order
lo pay one dollar into the treasury.
At this rate, accepting MrTDoul'woll's
figures, and' leuving tho bagatelle
of i'ntorost entirely out of the calcula
