WHAT THE SPARROW CHIRPS.
Br pbabl niriit.
I am only a little tparrow,
A bird of low degree ;
My life it of little value,
But the dear Lord oareth for me. ,
lie gave ma aooat of foatheri;
It it very plain, I know,
With never a ipeok of erintton, ' ' -For
it wat aot made for thow.
But it keept ma warm in winter,
And it fhlolil, me from the rain ;
Were it bordered with gold or purple,
Perhapt it would make ma rain.
And now that the tprlng time eemoth,
1 will build me a little nett,
With many a chirp of pleaturo,
In tho tpot I love the belt.
I have no barn or ttorehonto,
I neither tow nor reap .
Ood girci me a tparrow't portion,
But never a teed to koep.
If my meal it lometluiei toaaty,
Clone picking makaa it tweat
I have alwayi enough to feed me,
And "life it more than meat."
I know there are many tparrowt;
All over tba world we are fonnd,
But our Heavenly Father knoweth
Whea one of u, to.Ua to tho ground.
Though tmall, we are never forgotten (
Though weak, we are never afraid ;
For wo know that the dear Lord keepeth
Tho life of tbe croaturei lie made. . .
I fly through the thicket! forett,
I light on many a tpray ;
I have bo obart or compete,
But 1 aever lone my way.
And I fold my wingt at twilight,
Wherever 1 happen to be)
For the Father it alwayi watching,
And no barm will come to me.
Center of Gravity of Population.
According to the rocont lotlor of
Gon. Garfield, the center of gravity ol
our national population is now, or was
at the time tho last consul was taken,
near Wilmington, Ohio. ltd march
Wostwnrd lm hocn as follows : Com
mencing in 1700, the buuinningof our
nation, at York, iu tho Southwest
corner of Pennsylvania, a little above
tho ii'Jtb degree ol latitude, it raeud
little to tho South ol that dearee,
crossed tho Allcghanies about 1833,
moved across the ran-IIandle of ir
ginia in I860, and is now rapidlr pass
ing over tho Slato of Ohio, still drop
ping a, nine oouid ot tv est as it goes.
The avernee rate of protrrcsa for the
last eighty years lias been fifty miles
per decado, but it is now icoinz at
abOUl Clghly UlllUS fur uacli ton yours.
it is estimated, however, by eood
judgos, that this rate cannot bo kept
up lone, because the main tide ot
settlement will soon reach the poorer
soil of tho Eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountains.
It is also possible that tho direction
of .this conlcr may bo varied in the
future by a chantro of influences.
Thus far, cmiirralion has been, as a
rulo, Westward along the an mo line of
lutilude. The majority of Now York
ers leaving homo go to Michigun and
Wisconsin; irgimuns betake them
selves not only to Kentucky and Mis
souri, but to Southern Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, although always free
States, yet in the same lulitudo ; while
Vermont skips over sovornl Slates to
and the eroater number of tier emi
grants in Wisconsin, duo West. Of
coarse there havo been exceptions to
Ibis rulo, as in tho emigrations Irom
agricultural to manufacturing States,
as from iluino and Now Uumpsliiro
to Masxncbusctts, and the settlement
of tho Northwest largoly by tho cen
tral and Southwestern btates. We
think, also, that as Bociety gets older
tbcro is a marked tendency Southward
n ccnornl migrations. ,V bother it is
thut, with tbe increasing refinements
ol lifo, people grow moro delicate or
not, they certuinly seem to nave s
creator dislike of cold climates. Evory
year sees ft larger number of invalid
residonts at tho boutii, wild many
wbo nro not invalids, whoso moans
enablo them to enjoy a more agreea
ble ilimato than that of the North in
Winter.
Hitherto this Southern tendencv of
emigration, oven if it formerly existed
in its present strength, was countracl-
cd by tho existence, of a dissimilar and
offensive institution, which bore with
poculiar hardship, bocauso inflicting a
species of dingrace upon the avorago
cmigrnm woo nau to uiuks his wny m
the world with his own bands
Slavery, in fact, was an impusnnblo
wall to !rco labor. J no siiuemoiii nas
been niado on cood authority that
"there oro not probably in ull tho
Southorn States O,000 emigrants from
tho freo States; that is, not so many
as iMuino mono has sent into Massa
chusetts. Tlut state of things cunnot
last much longer. It is true, more
has bcon no grout change sinco the
war olosod not so groat as was gon
orally anticipated but tho bittornoss
of Southern society has not j ot had
timo to subside, and tlio tremendous
revolution inaugurated by cmancipa
lion bus not fit 1 1 v worked itself out.
lint n crcat improvement, lias been
acconiolishod, novertholoss : nnd when
wo consider the increasing ovidoncos
of tbo nrofituhlciioss ol raising oollotv
and the attractions of many other
kinds of pursuits at tho Soulh which
hud no iootliold in tho'old days of
slavery, together with tho climate in
fltienco civen abovo, wo have reason
to buliovo that evon the next census
willshowamaloriul incronseol South
ernward einiuralion. This will tend
to check and divert tho Western pro

PRINCIPLES)
CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE U, 1873.
The Decline and Fall of Yankeedom.
We take from the New York World
of the 10th ult., tho article below. If
it be correct, then the Mistress of
Tariffs, Negroisro, Paper Monoy, Shod
dy and Imposture is on herduuth bed,
and the rest of tho country may hopo

THE DECAY OP DOWN EAST.
Now England continues to deolino
and fall off. The chief city is no
lunger a metropolis, but a provincial
town. With diauuso and decay at hor
vory vitals, who can expect to find
Uonlth in hor members? llerromolor
communities are weakened in all their
inaustrios, her ship bnilding, as re
cently shown by otio of hor own ionr-
nals, is an occupation ol the past ; her
commerce is almost a myth, and in
agriculture, "tho first of arts," she
grows feebler day by day. From this
point of viow, a correspondent of tho
A'cu) England Farmer by her own
moutb is her deeadonce declared
paints a sorrowful picturo. "Many of
our Oldest and oncu best lurms, he
ssyB, "are now used solely for tms
turago, while the old homostead is
tenunted by owls and bats, or it hus
been removed, leaving only the old
stone chimney or hull filled cellar to
mark the spot," Those places, where,
"All timet and tidet teem lott in ono long term
Of itagnamt dceolation,"
are not found exclusively in Middle
Massachusetts, from wbonce, wo be
lieve, he writes ; but his bsorvations
hold true of rnrul New England, from
one ond to tho other, no matter wborc
wo so. Riding evon almost within
viow of tbe rich valley of the Connect
icut one comes not infrequently upon
a dwelling from which .
"Life and thought have gone away
Side by aide,
Leaving doon and wiadowi wide."
No less an authority thao the Mas
sachusetts Bureau of Statistics, in its
report lor the year onding Jluicb 1st,
1871, shows thut the native farmers
are rapidly disappearing; that tho
tow who remain uro generally ignor
ant and" poor.
I ho report which, we re told, is
culled from tho evidence of forty-six
rosiuont witnesses, rarmors.olergy men,
merchants, physicians and otbors
furlhor shows that the general educa
tion system oi tne lurm labor is very
low, even lower than that of the av
erage factory oporalivo ; that children
undor I-i years ot ago aro, becausoof
the povorty of thoir parents, kept in
the fluid instead of at school, nnd that,
as ft conacqucnco, ft largo per centago
of the rising generation can neither
read nor write. it is easy toporccire
how these influences must effect unfa
vorably tbe tone and characior of so-
l-ial intoroonrad hOW lllO On fhnfarm
must be rondored more than ever dis
tasteful to the few native farmers wbo
remain, nnd how their eons nnd daugh
ters are more surely than ever driven
lo city life, or to oungralion elsewhere,
until in some counties, as affirmed by
one witness, "only men of second or
Ihira class ability, physically or men
tally, are left to work on larms," or,
as another testified, "the farms nro
eft lo tho old men and women, and
country populations are decreasing at
a foarful rato." Still another speaks
of tho destruction of "all sell-roiiunce
und self-rospcct."
iromolber sources, equally relia
ble, we havo further convincing proof
that this strango picturo is not over
drawn. General liullor mentions thut
farmers are selling the old homesteads,
and with tho litllo money thus se
cured moving with their families to
the city to become factory operatives.
A gonlluman who has hud lurgo expe
rience in rural real estate affairs ot
Massachusetts says he can find ono
hundred and eighty farms in the State
on the line of tho Boston and Albany
Railrond any one of which can be
bought for less than the cost of the
buildings. Some of these furms are
sixty acres in extent, whilo others nro
one hundred and sixty. ! Oct. Uutltr
says tho wholo of Massachusetts would
not soil lor enough to rubuil the stone
walla which now exist in the State.
Anolhor authority affirms that com
fortable dwelling houses can be bought
cheap enough to make it profitable to
lake them down, removo them lo
Now York, and rebuild thorn here.
A correspondent writing from Port
land to Moort't Rural spouks of thut
city as being dull as a country village.
lhcre is litllo manutucturing. no ship
building. Tho trade with tho Werl
Indies, which once lined its docks, is
now small, and tho placo hus that sort
of rctrogrado appearance, that dead-and-alive
business ulmosphore, which
enddone and anhrliiea rnthoi lltnn vi
talizes and exhilarates a people
Xho samo thing Is truo lo a greater
or less degree throughout the entire
state ot .Maine, as tho census snows.
And yet Maine is not n barren wilder
ness, is ho is graciously cnuoweu uy
nnture, and filled lo be tha seut of a
busy and prosperous population and
of varied and surcesslul industries.
A great abundance of arable land in
viles cultivation ; streams traverse
tho State in every direction ; forests
of splendid timber still supply dietani
markets, will tor yours, at a rate de
fying competition : soino ol tho Unesl
harbors lio closo lo tho track of the
western-bound vossols from Europe,
nnd a sea coast which is but ft contin
uous lino of biauliful bays and ports
affords Iho finest opportunity in tho
world fur ship building. And yet llio
shin vards of Maine nre silent; tho
magnitlcont lorest tends timber lo dis
tant markets; tho farmers find no salo
for thoir Droducts : the manufacturers
nre shut out from tbo cheap supply of
fuel from Nova bcotir), and lorcod io
suspend operations if lltey cannot
bring their coal from Pennsylvania
and Blill compolo with nearer rivals;
nnd so it huimons Hint, despite the
fuel that the State is "protected," in
dostry declines and tho population
fulls off and shows ft decrease since
1800. Nevertheless, Maine clings to
tho party by which monopoly tariffs
are suslainocl.
A tariff bas made this Stalo con
spicuous above others for prostration
of Industry and loss of population,
and yet Maine sent to Congress tho
man by whom the tariff was devisod,
and still sustains him in defending the
re i nous ay stein.
NOT MEN.
The census returns from Vermont
indicate, to bo sure, an increase in
population, but it was only 5 per tent,
against an avorago of ovoriiO per cent,
in tho whole of iho United Stales.
lue assessed vuluation of proporty of
"""j uuourijmuii snows an tncreaso
of about 10 per cent. ; tho roal cash
valuation has so fur been given only
iur tne mrrr. lands, wuicn liavo In
creased in area (wild or forost land
btougbt undor cultivation) ovor 300,
000 acres, or ovor 11 por cent., while
the valuation has increased $18,000,
(00, or 62 per cent., tho avorage price
per ucre rising from (33 lo 845, and
Iho furtn implements likowiso ad
vU)cing in value ft trifle over 50 nor
CeUl. Wcio we to proceed no fui'tbor
we should concludo that in this Stale
at least, the situation on the whole
was an eminently satisfactory one.
But when we ask what this increased
nutubcr of acres produces, what has
added this increased value to the land,
our satisfaction is changed to surprise
nnd discouragement.- Although wheat
shows un increase of about 5 porcont.,
and corn an increase of over 15 per
cent., almost all other crops are either
stulionary or show a decline. Tobac
co, of which the production is ontiro
ly nominal, shows a largo increaso;
but mnplo sugar, which is an import
ant crop, shows a fur largor decreaso.
Potatoes, hops and oats remain about
the same; barley nnd buckwheat
show ft considerable increase, but rye
ft honvy fulling off. Wool shows a
nominal increase, although iho num
ber of sheep bas docreascd 20 per
cent. Horses have decreased 3 per
cent , swine G por cent., work oxen

Capital and intelligence can find bet

But their farming is in iho long run
ruinous to themselves. Tho size of
farms is continually growing smaller,
the inability to introduce improved

increasing, tho average intclligonco of
Iho population declining, tho yield of
labor becoming yearly less, ilenco,

by Queen Elizubelh, in ordor that

not logalized until 1024. During the

of cast sloel furthered the common

instruments, besides rendering them
cheaper, betler, and more abundant.

Tall Men.
At a country becomes settled, and
especially in tho cities, whero great
numbers of human beings aro crowd
ed into a comparatively small place,
men degencralo in height, and the
women are not only proverbially
shorter than in the eountry, but they
are less inuscutur. Aebuuvaiun,uugirt.

if traced to their birthplace, will bo
found to have come from the country.

Postage StampsHow Prepared,
As soon as they eincrgo from the
hydraulio press, postage stamps aro
gummed. The pusto is mude from
clear starch, or rather its doxlrino,
which is acted upon chemically and
then boiled, forming a clear, smooth,
slightly sweet mixture. Each sheet
of stamps is takon separately, placed
upon a lint bourl, and us edges cov
erod with ft light metal framo. Then
the pasta is smeared on with a large
whitewash brush, and tho sheet is laid
between two wire racks and placed on
a pile with others lo dry. Great care
is taken in tho manufacture of this -paste,
which is porfoctly harmless.
this grutifying fact hus bcon conclu
sively proved by an armlysis recently
made by an eminent chemist. Aftor
tho gumming, another pressing in Iho
hydraulic press follows. Then moro
counting in fact, stamps are counted
no less than thirteen limes during
their procosses of manufacture. The
sheets oro then cut in half, each por
tion cantiiimng one hundred stamps,
this being done by girls wilh ordinary
hand aboard. Next follows iho per.
foralion, which is performed by
machinery. The perforationsaro first
made in a perpendicular lino, and af
terward in a horizontal lino. Another
pressing follows this lime to get rid
of the raised edges on tho back of the
stamps mado by tho dies, and this
ends tho manufacture A scperato
apartment is devoted to the packing
and sending off the stamps to tho dif

What is Catgut?
Somo inquiring mind ha started tho
question, "What is Uatgtitf The
iihoe and Mather tit porter thus an
swers: "ror many years tne only-
article used undor this name consisted
of tho intestines of sheep, cut and
twisted. As tho Italian sheep are the
leanest of those accessible to market,
and as tbe membrunos of lean animals
are known to bo thougher than those
of animals in high condition, the bost
catgut bus come from Naples and that
vicinity.
Thcro is no historical rocord con
cerning the ti so of the intestines of
cats for strings of this sort, but from
tho fact that tho name irom earliest
times has uniformly been applied to
this article, it would appear ullogother
probable lhat the strings did first
como or wore supposed to come from
lhat source. Tho chief uso of catgut
for many years was for the strings of
harps und guitars ; it was manufac
tured from tho vicora of sheep. Tbo
membranes of smaller animals uro
somolimos used for the covering of
whips and such purposes, but sheep
still lurntsh the strings for musical in
struments. Tho process of preparing
is quilo curious. The motnbranes are
ordinarily exposed to iho power of
burning sulphur, and then slit and
twisted into cords of di (To rent sizes as

are tho chief nscs on the list. They
