(U was not done withs knife.) It hss been on her. or at least first ftade its appearance, twenty-five years ? ! nC e, appeared and dlaappeared several times unUl It became permanent. She has had It treated by tome of the test physicians In the whole country but baa never found anything to check its rapid growth until now. The doctor has the veritable dancer itself in alcohol, at hia office, and invites all who believe that cancers cannot be cared, to call and see it. It has Just been ten days since he took U off and Um sore is already rapidly hsallngf' Died Yesterday. Every day is written this little sen'ence: “ Died yesterday,” so-and-so. Every day a flower ia plucked from some sunny home—a breach is made in some happy circle —a jewel stolen from some treasury of love. Each day, Jrom the summer fields of life, some harvest disappears—yea, every honrsome sentinel falls from the ramparts into eternity. Even aa we write the funeral of one “died yesterday,” winds like a winter shadow along the streets. “Died yesterday.” Who died? Perhaps it waa a gentle babe, sinless as an angel, pare as the ■ephyr’a hymn—one whose laugh was as the gush ol summer rills loitering in the bower ol roses— whose life was but a perpetual litany—a May-time crowned with the passion flowers that never fade. Or mayhap it was a youth hopeful, happy and generous, whose path was hemmed by flowers, with not a serpent iurkiDg underneath—one whose soul psted for communion with the great and good and reached for the garden in the dia tance. But the heart ls still now; he “cjted |tp>- terday." “Died yesterday.*' A young girl pure as the orange flowers that clasped her forehead, was stricken down as she stood at the altar; and from the strong aisles of the temple, she was borne to the “garden of the slumberers.” A tall, crowned man girt with the halo of vic tory, and at the day’s close, under his own vine and tig tree, fell to dust even as the anthem upon his lips; and he, too, was laid “ where the fore fathers of the rude hamlet sleep.” Ao aged patriarch, bowed with age and cares, even as he looked ont upon the distant hills for the coming of the angel hosts, sank into dream less slumber, and on his door post is written: ‘ Died yesterday.” “Died yesterday.” Daily men, women and children are passing away, and hourly in some graveyard the sod is fluug npon the dead. As of ten in the morn we find tome flower that blushed sweetly in the sunset was withered up lorever, so daily, when we rise from the bivouac to stand against our posts, we miss some brother soldier whose cherry cry iu the sieges and strag gles of the past has been as fire from heaven upon our hearts. Each day some pearl drops from the jewel thread of friendship—some lyre to which we have been wont to listen has been hushed forever. But wise is he who mourns not the pearl and music lost, tor life with him shall pass away silently as an Eastern shadow from the hille, and death be a triumph and gain. Cuffee as a Collegian.—The New York World contains the following sensible remarks on .the above questions: “ in this season oi College Commencements the man and brother is by no means silent. He comes before the public at Hampton in Virginia, not In the character of Mr. Bones or Mr. Johnson for the purpose of discussing difficult conundrums, as has been his immemorial custom, but as the col lege graduate, swelling with the pride of intellec tual achievement, to deliver sophomoric addresses as it behooves Dim to do in his new condition. In these the man and brother says many bright and hopeful things lor the iuteliectnal future of his race, and many unkind things ot his quondam op pressors. It is natural and commendable that the Hampton graduate should bear off his diploma with rejoiclDg; but that he, of all his colored brethren, should speak unkindly of the beuighted white people of his State is hardly just or com mendable, though it may be natural. He should remember that the while people of Virginia have done more for the education of his race than has been done in any other Btate. For while his car pet-hag friends further South have generally pock eted the n onoy provided for his education, a fair allowance of the school fund has in Virginia been honestly and regularly applied in his behalf. Be sides, the Legislature ot Virginia only recently made to the colored institution at Hampton the free gift of SIOO,OOO, this amount being one-third of the land script allotted to the State for educa tional purposes. But perhaps the ingratitude of the Hampton graduate merely results from being taught that the things which have been done for h’m by the State of his birth are as nothing as compared with the things which must be done by the Government whose ward he has become. For the collegiate Cuffee at Hampton is encouraged to believe that Congress at its next session will make such liberal appropriations ol educational land as will henceforth enable the colored youth to in dulge unendingly in the innocent pleasure of go ing to college and making commencement ad dresses—albeit those addresses be written by other than the colored persons who deliver them. “ When Cuffee comes before the public iu this new and startling role there are doubtless many maliciously disposed persons to say that he has gone through college very much as did the afore •aid Mr. Johnson, who merely entered the aca demic halls by the front door and waa inconti nently kicked out at the back door. But that curriculum belonged to a less enlightened age,and the colored gentlemen of the present day really does go through college much less abruptly aDd muoh more laboriously than of old. He is said to apply himselft to algebra and Latin and Greek— studies Which have been a constant source of trihu’.atim to the ingenious youth of the while rano for many ceuteries. We decline to ata e how cuffee lares in these difficult fields of intellectual effort. * * * * # “ Iu the South there are some half dozen “colle giate” institutions, similar but to tne one at Hamp:op. These may perhaps ultimately do fpmethihg for cuffee; but his best friends will re gret that they did not give him less of douljla Latin and Greek, and more of t*g orthodox plough and spade, in the curriculum through which he passes before he ascends the rostrum and delivers the commencement address. J. feTE'ABV Mill and His Wife.—A touching epieode of the life of J. Slewart Mill was the won derful love he bore his wi e, and the tenderness with which he cherished her memory. He his home iu the §qpth ot Trance, near hey grave, on 4 aII G devotion in his great peart centered in the little mound that covered her dust. How loyal was this love, is shown in the dedication of his haok of es*aya ** On Liberty. There is no*hing more touching and manly in the annals of litera ture. It reads: “To the beloved and deplored memory of her who was the inspirer, and, in part, the author, of all that is best in my writings the friend and wife whose sense af truth sr<j right was my strongest incitement, and whose approbation was my chief reward—l dedicate this Volume, Like all that I have written for many years, it belongs as much to het as to me; but the work as it stands hss had, in a very insufficient degree, the inestimable advantage of her revision —some of the most important portions b.jyiPA been reserve;} i-# g fL°*e carefql ire-exuaioatlon, which they are now never destined fo receive Were I bat capable of interpreting to the world one-half the great thoughts and noble feelings which are buried in her grave, I should be the medium of a greeter benefit to it than is ever likely to arise from any I can t?rit{* uop*ompied and unassisted by her ml} hut unrivalled wisdom." ?oo soon ivr us,' but not for them, we may now write above the graves of this wonderful pair the old Virgilian epitaph, “ Lovely in their lives, in death they were not divided.”— Ex.

The Eaib of the American Institute.— From The South, of New York, we clip the following: “ The forty-eecood Exhibition of the American Institute of the city of New York, will be held in the Exhibition Buildings this year, commencing September 10. “ We hope to 6ee these exhibitions made truly representative of the entire country. To be so, or even only approximately so. the products of South, as well as North and vVest, must be dis played, and in proportions consistent with the ex tent and importance of the producing ares. Some time ago occasion was taken iu this journal to draw attention to the lamentable absence of ex hibits at the last show held at New Y ork, to the fact that literally nothing whatever coming from the South was shown at all. One has only take the map of this Continent and observe the geo graphical dimensions of the South, whether it be in the vast pine country, sweeping round the southern extremity, or Florida reaching a giant arm to the Indies, or Texas, an empire in itself; to note the serpentine course of that mighty river that rolls southward to the sea, whose tributary net-work holdß the heart of the country in its grasp, to be convinced of the vast importance of the section, and remembering the prodigal luxuri ance of the semi-tropical climes, to feel how rich mast be the quota that the South might con tribute. And yet in the show of 1872, from all this vast region, not a single product! For all that this so-called exhibition of America’s resour ces, industry and inventive genius had to show ot it, the South might have been only a vast sandy desert, witnout an inhabitant. “ Everywhere are noticed the wonderful changes taking place in all the territory whereto these people gravitate. They bring their energy, their industry, and often capital to make our idle fields productive. The majority of them, for want of information, are swept into the current that is rolling westward. Few go South. The reason for this is that while every possible inducement has been held forth by men interested In the appre cla'ion of Western lands.lhe South has been inert.” Do Fairs Benefit Farmers !-Yes, sir! Just af'er the fatigues of a laborious season we come days in visiting and getting acquainted with each other, and having an old-fashioned harvest jubilee —that pays ; next, to try and improve the stock in our country, which we have done—and that pays; and give our good wives and daughters a chance to show their skill in fancy work, or in fixing np things for the culinary department, fit to tempt the palates of lordly men, thereby prov ing they are deserving of becoming the worthy partners of the best men—and that pays; or to go back home feeling jolly and good natured, without a cent in mine pocket, but fully deter mined to beat somebody nest time—and that pays. But for a very small part of a man to go and take a grade bull and .jow him as a full blood and get beat—then you don’t get pay; or to go Intending to take all the premiums aud gat none, and then go home mad, feeling that all your friends were on the other side—that won’t pay; or to go to a fair, believing you are the centre of atrractiou, and to find others there more popular than you are—that won’t pay. Statistics or Population.— Of the great centres of humanity throughout the globe, there are nine having a population exceeding one mill ion souls, coming in the following order; London, 8,231,000; Soochow, 2,000,000; Paris, 1,850,000; Pekin, 1,648,080; Teddo, 1,554,000; Canton, 1,- 236,000; Constontinoble, 1,075,000; Siangtan, in the province of Hunan, 1,000,000; and Tehan tchan foo, in the piovince of Fokien, 1,000,000. Al though London ranks first, the Chinese empire can boast f more populous cities than all the civilised countries of the West. The number of cities possessing a population of from half a mil -lonto a million is twelve, namely: New York, Vienna, Berlin, Hang kaow, Philadelphia, St. Pe tersburg, Bombay, Calcutta, Fouchow, Tehehiug, Bangkok and Kioto. Twenty cities have a popu lation of trom 800,000 to 400,000 Inhabitants; thirty-three of from SCO,OOO to 300,000, and ninety of from 100,000 to 200.000 inhabitants. Europe, alone, possesses one huudred and seventy one cities containing more than 50,000 inhabitants, at me bead of which stand London, Paris, Constan tinople, Vienna, Berlin and St. Petersburg, Homh and ITS Quben—There Is probably not an anperverted man or woman living who does not feel that the sweetest consolations and best rewards of life are fonnd in the loves and delights of home. There are very few who do not feel themselves indebted to the influence* that clus tered around their cradles for whatever good there may be in their characters and conditior. Home, based upon Christian marriage, is toevi. dent an institution of God, that a man must be come profane before be can deny it. Wherever it is planted, there stands a bulwark ot the state. Wherever it is pure and true to the Christian idea, there Uvea au institution conservative of all the nobler instincts of society. Of this realm woman is the queen. It takes its cue and hue from her. If she is in ihe nest sense womanly—U she is true and tender, loving and heroic, patient and self-devoted, she consciously and unconsciously organizes and puts iu opera tion a set of influences that do more to mould the destiny of the nation than any man, uncrowned by power of eloquence, can possibly effect The men of the nation are what mothers nuke them, as a rale, and the voice that those men speak in the expression of power is the voice of the wo hors and bred them. There can be no substitute for this. There is no other possible way in which the women of the nation can or ganine their influence and power that will tell SO beneficially upon society and the State.
