I CANNOT CALL HER MOTHER. '
, , -j BY SARAH T BOLTON.
The marriage tile is over,
Ami though 1 lutned asiJ
To keep Ihe guests from seeing 1
The leats I could nol hide;
I wreathed my luce in smiling,
And led my littles brother
To greet my lather's chosen. .
But I could not call ber mother.
She is a fair young creature,
With a meek and gentle air,
With blue eyes suit and loving,
And silken sunny hair
1 know my father gives her
The love he bore another, : '
But if she were an angel . . . , ,
1 could nol call her mother.
To-night I heard ber tinging
A song ( used to love, .
When us sweel noies were uttered
By her who sings above ;
It pained my heart to hear it,
And my tear I could not smother,
For every word was hallowed
By the dear voice of my mother.
My father, in the sunshine
Of happy days to come,
May hall lorget ihe shadow
That darkened our old home;
His heart no more is lonely, 1
But I and little brother
Must still be orphan children
God can give us but one mother.
They're born my mother's picture ...
From its accustomed place,
And set beside my faihei's
A jounger, fairer face ;
They've made her dear old chamber
The boudoir of another,
Bui I will not forget thee,
My own, my angel mother. :

lion whose very name was formerly emblem'
alio of splendor and power, now, alas ! a met
ancholy memorial of departed greatness.
Under ihe Moors, the population of Spain
was thirty millions; il is now less than tbir
teen millions. The Clamor Publico, a Mad
rid newspaper, says:
(:Granada, before its fall in 1437, contain
ed 400,000 inhabitants, of whom 60,000 bore
arms. It now contains but 60,000 soul
all counted. MuUga, in the 17th century.
coutained 80000 inhabitants ; it now posses
ses only 50,000. Medina del Campo, in Ihe
17th century, contained 60,000 inhabitants;
it now contains 6,000. Merida, al Ihe epoch,
possessed 40,000 inhabitants; it now posses"
ses only 5,000. In the 16th century, the dio
cese of Salamancha, had one hundred and
twenty-seven cities and villages; now bas
thirteen only. Segovia, in 1725, bad 5,000
families ; now 2,000. Seville, in Ihe 17th
century, had a population of 300,000, of
which 130,000 were employed in manufac"
lures ; it now contains 96,000 souls all told'
Toledo, in the 15th century, had 200,000 in
habitants; it now has 15,000.' Valence,
which in Ihe year 1C00, counted a population
of 600,000, now hardly numbers 60.000. In
1778 there were counted 1,511 abandoned
villages iu Spain, and Ihe number bas becu
increasing from that day lo this."
Court N est el rod c, it is said, ha. been
insulted by the people of St. Petersburg. On
passing through the street, in his carriage bo
was hissed, booted and menaced, and was
foiced to take refoge in the house of a friend.
He was accused by tbe people of being ther
cause of tbe war, of not having taken suffi
cient care lo provide against its casualties,
and of having ahown indifference and negli
gence. But whatever be the cause, tho
symptoms of popular induration were not to
be mistaken. It is probable that the Inhabi
tant, of Si. Petersburg have already begun
to feel more severely than the peasant, of
the interior the evils which war biiugs with
it. They are nearer to those parts which
aio exposed to hostilities, and they must be
among the first to suffer.
Exactly So. There is not a county in tho
world where people arebscoming so cxtar va
cant in the mode uf dressing and living as in
the United States. It is one of the worst
signs of the times. The habits of the mush
room aristocracy are really disgusting. How
ludicrous it looks to see boys sporting dia
monds by lha thousand dollars' worth at a
iine, whose fathers were ar.rnstomed to
wheel barrows, and whose children are pretty
ceitain to be in the woikhouse. And girls
illy, simpering things, weighed down with
jewels and bracelets whose mother, broke
their backs at the washing tubs, scounng
floors and picking oakum. Th real, substan-
iul aristocracy never indulge in such fopper
ies and fooleries.
