PEOPLE WILL TALK.
We may get through the world, but “twill be
very slow,
If we listen to all that is said as we go;
We'll be*worried and frotted and kept in a stew,
For meddlesome tongues must have something
to do—
For people will talk, you know,
If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is ouly assumed,
You're a wolfiu sheeps elothing, or you'rea toul;
But don't get excited, keep pertectly codl-—
For neople will talk, you know.
It grenerons and noble, they']l vent “their spleen,
You'll hear some lowd hints that you're selfish
and wean;
If upright and honest and fair as the day,
o They'll eall you avonge inasly, sneakish way—
For people will tulk you know,
And then if you show the least bolduess of heart,
Ovor a slight inclination to take your own part,
They Il call you an upstart, coneeited, or vain,
But Keep steaight abead, don't stop to explain-—
For people witl talk you know.
If threadbare your coat, old fashioned your hat,
Some one, of course, will take notice of that,
Aund hintvatherstrong that you cant pay your
way;
But dont get exeited whatever they say—
For people will talk you kuow,
If you dress in the fashion, don't think to escape;
For they'll eriticise then, in a ditferent shape;
You're ahiead of your means, or the tailor's nnpaid
But mind your own business, there’snaught to be
said—
For people will talk you know,
1t a fellow but chance to converse with a givl,
How the gossip will talk, and the seandal unfurl;
They'll eanvass your wants ortalk of yourmenns,
Aud say you're engnged to achit in her teens—
For people will talk you kuow,
They'll talk fine before you, but then at your
back,
Of venom and slander there's never alack,
How kind and polite isall that ihey say,
But bitter as gaal when they're out of the way—
- For people will talk, you know,
The best way to do isto do as you please,
For your mind, if you have one, will then be at
case; %
Of conrse you'll meet with all sorts of abuse,
But don’t think to step them, “twill be of no use—
For people will talk, you know.

THE COUNTRY PRESS
The following truthful article is taken
from one of the ablest papers in the
country :
Our duaty is too often overlooked.—
Gio into one halt the houses of the coun
try, and there will be found New
York newspapers, and DPhiladelphia
magazines, and foreign literature of
every kind; while of newspapers inter
ested in advocating the interests of thei
State and their own county, noi oiié can
be found. This is grossly unjust, If a
man has two dollars a year, or ten cents
a week, to spend in information and
literature for his family, his duty as a
citizen is to take his own State and
county paper. Let him imagine, if he
can, what his State wotfld be without a
paper within her borders, and then ask
Fimself what he is doing for their sup
port.
But some excuse themselves for tak-‘
ing a metropolitan paper, on the ground
that they contain more reading matter
than those published at home. True
enough—simply for the reason that they
are supported. Every dollar sent to a
forcign newspaper, by a citizen who
takes no local paper, builds up that pa
‘per at the expense not only of his own
local paper, but of the intercsts of his
‘own State and county.
~ We do not ask this for the local
press us a matter of eharity, but of jus
tice. A good paper can do more good
for any town than any town can do for a
paper. DBut few appreciate the local
press as they ought. They overlook
the fact that its conductors are the most
sélf-sacrificing men in the country.—
From one year’s end to another, they
‘devote their talents and their energics
to the building up of their localities, even
to the neglect of their own pecuniary in
terests. ] <
* Yet the local press is sneered at, and
given the cold shoulder forgetting that
the little pebble iz as necessary for mak
ing the mountain, as the bolder or huge
mass of granite. The local press holds
as important a position as the rill does to
the river which goes oceanward. It is
bad policy to starve them to death, as it
‘would be for the mouth of the stream to
dam up the fountains from which it ob
tains its supply. The interests of the
city press and the local press are identi
cal and they should be fostered alike, as
each has its work to perform in its pecu
liar province. The condvctors of the
country press may sometimes err in judg
ment or fail to carry out their plans to
the fullest extent —but the metropolitan
press is open to the same charge. We
repeat, that it is the first duty of every
man—-a duty that is imperative—to sus
tain his local press with a liberal hand,
and not let it languish for want of that
support.

Sosuerives a girl says no to an offer,
when it is as plain as the nose on her

to look straight into her eyes, and never

THE SPRAGUE FAMILY AND THEIR
‘POBBESBIONB.
The house of Sprague started with
Amasa Sprague, the grandfather of
Amasa and William, the present repre
sentatives of the house. e was suc
ceeded by his sons Amassa and William,
and thus the firm of A. & W, Sprague
came into existence. At the death of the
“Old Governor,” as Willlam Spragre,
the uncle of the “two boys” who now
control the house of A, & W. Sprague,
is generally callea even now, the busi
ness had not yet assumed anything like
its present giant proportions. That
eveu occurred in 1850, and there were
at that time only six calico printing ma
chines in the print works at Crasuton.
Siuce then, b ;wever not only his addi
tion after addition and extension atfer
extension been put o the works, until
the mills form an extensive village in
themselves, but every specics ofg im
proved wachinery has also been procur
ed and sct in motion. [lnstead of six
color machines, the highest number ‘any
machine was capable of printing at the
death of the “Old Goveruor,” &erc aro
in the works at' Cranston 10-day ma
chines which print twelves There are
now thirty machines in the works, and
50,000 pieces of cloth can be printed
and finished in a week, This immense
establishment is driven by six englnes,
varying from 40 to 300 horse power,
aud the consumption of coal per day is
not short of 100 tous. '}'wcnty-fivc
donkey engines are scattered over the
establishment to do special duty wher
ever needed, Trimming machines wasl®
ing and drying machines, dycing appa
ratus, engraving machines, all the im
mense and complicated machinery ne
cessary to the manufacture of the ma
terial for a new dress. The villages
where the operatives reside are built af
ter a uniform model, and consist of
story and a half double houses. In the
store at Cranston animmense business is |
done. The Spragues do their own
slaughtering, and kill about 25 head of
cattle per week, and sheep and hogs in
proportion. The meat is furnished to
their operatives four and five cents per
pound cheaper than it can'be bought in
the Providence market, and the “store”
sclls goods of every kind at a propor
tionately low figure, the eales in a single
year amounting to $400,000.
Amasa Sprague resides at Cranston,
about one mile from the city of Provi
dence, and William lives with his moth
erin the city of Providence. What
this woman has had to do with building
up an immense business, the influence
of which is felt * everywliere in the
country, has never been toid. “The
boys” habitually resort to her for advice,
and the “old Governor” wasaccustomed
to hold her judgment in the highest es
teem. lHer counsels to the old firm of
A. & W. Sprague have been transfer
ed to the new house, and have proved as
beneficial to her sons as the their father
and to their uncle. She is now and old
lady of seventy years, but her faculties
are as vigoreus as ever.
The house of A. & W. Sprague, as at
present constituted, ‘resembles the old
house of that name in a striking degree.
Amasa Sprague, at his home at Cran
ston, is much like Amasa Sprague, his
father. As the father hated politics, so,
too, the son dislikes the turmeil of party,
and devotes himself to his family, his
business, and his trotters. He has now
in his stables, near tho Narragansett
Race Course, an association of which he
is president, much thorough and blood
ed stock-—the famous horse Rhode Is
land and the Dateh Girl among the
others. Of Rhode Island he is especial
1y confident, and expects him to trot
his mule in 2:20 at the June meeting at
the Narragansett Park. DBut William
Sprague the mephew, both ~mnaturally
‘took to politics. Both were Governors
of the State, and both Senators of the
‘Uhited States. In his recent course in
the Senate, William Sprague the young
er, only did what would have been done
by William Spragae the elder under
like circumstances, and it would have
been done by the latter with the same
intrepidity, the same disregard of con
‘scquences, and the same défiance of
the opinions of others that the former
exhibited in the past few weeks.
In these bold acts, apparently so inca
pable of explanation, Sprague may have
calculated to some extent upon his
“Rhode Islanders.” In the works at
Scranton 2,000 hands are employed, be
sides those engaged at their other mills.
In this there is a power as great as in
250,000 spindles, fed by the ingenuity
and foresight of Senator Sprague and
his brother. e boasted in one of his
speeches—or, perhaps, rather complain
ed—that small manufacturers were
breaking down because they could not
do as he does. It was very vaguely
put, and was not generally understood.
He simply meant that his purchases of
stock were so immense that those who
could not buy in like immense quanti
ties cannot compete with him. Dut be
also meant to saly that he can make bet
ter goods out of inferior material ,than
lauy one eJse. His great point however,
| was that persons who do not own an im-
{ mense capital cannot borrow, oWing te
the courses of legislation in the last fow
years, and that men like himself, b;
their great facilities and Jarge clpihfi
crush their neighbors either willingly or
unwillingly. Ten thousand bales of cot
ton, 2,000 casks of madder, and propor
tionate quantities of drugs, is no unus
aat single puarchase. Thoy ‘wnmme;
17,000 bales of cotton the last year, and
within the past five months have bought’
at least 10,000,000 yards of cloth from
other manufacturers, and printed it i
their works at Cranston. i i
The Spragues have mills at other’
places besides Providence, oven, as far
away as Augusta, Me. Their “Baltie”
mills are an immense affair, as are also
the “Quidnick,” “Natick,” “Aretic,”
and “Central Falls.” They have be<
sides many, outside intcrests. Their
farm at Cranston alone containg 2,000
acres of land, worth from $2OO to $3OO
per acre, and in all the following compa~
nies they havea controlling or ' & very
large interest: foret
Rhode Island Locomotive Works, Per«
kins’ Sheet Iron Company, Phenix Iron
Foundry, Rhode Island lorse Shoe
Company, American Horse Nail Compa
ny, Nicholson Ilile Company, Boesten'
Wheat and Bread Comwpany, United
States Flax Manufacturing Company,
Providerice and New York Steamship
Company. This view scarcely gives an'
‘idea of the immensity of the enterprises,
into many of which they became engag
ed by taking hold of the failing enter
prises of others, The immensity of the
whole can-only be judged from. the im
mensity of any one of the undertakings
named in the foregoing list. All are so
great in themselves that the successful
conduct of any ong.of them would stamp
a man as eminently successful in. busi
noss, and give him the prestige and so
cial influence of great wealth.—New

CHANCES OF MARRIAGES AMONG
MAIDS.
The" following curious statement is
mmade by Dre. Granville. It is drawn
fron the registéred cases of 876 women
and is derived from their answers to the
age at which they werg respectively
‘married. It is the first ever construct
ed to exhibit women their chances of
.marriage at various ages, Of the 876
females 3 were married at 13 years of
age, 11 at 14, 16 at 15, 43 at 6, 45 at
17, 66 at 18, 115 at 19, 113 at 20, 86

’ From this our fair rcaders may form a
pretty accurate judgment of the chances’
whi¢h they have of entering into the
hely state of matrimony, and of enjoy
ing tlre sweets (wé say nothing of the
bitters,) of wedded love. 1t will be
seen that for them the chances of mar
rying at 30 years is notone in a hun
‘dred and at 40 there is no chance at all.
Twenty has three times tlic advantage of
sweet sixteen, The reason the Doctor
assigns for the rush of marriages at nine
teen and twenty is that the girls at that
time of life begin to fear the frosty ap
proach of old maidenhood, and therefore
rush into the arms of the first opportune
n*or that presents himself. At fifteen
anll sixteen the little misses feel them
selves secure; they are’ saucy, inde
rendent, wayward, coquetish, and herce
ose many fine opportunities which. do
not present themselves at a later age.
The Doctor is of the opinion that if a
young girl wishes to make a matrime
nial Lit in life she must do it betwéen
‘the age of fiftcen and seventeen. _ltisat’
this age that the full tide sets in, onsthe
affairs of woman. : [ andiadtl
