N less than three hours. The distance is
6ty miles. = This is most expeditions
mode of travelling. A business man in
Providence may breakfast at his own Ia
H.., take car at seven: travel 40 miles,
have from 6 to I hours for the transaction
Of business, and return and take supper
with his family. ,.
Al FIRST appearance, i am better pleased
with Boston than with New-York or Phil
adelphia. have been here on y lew
hours,, but already feel myself at home
in New-EngIand. Unless l greatly mis-
take, there is much less Of caste here, than
in either ofthe other cities mentioned-es-
pccially in New. York. The people arc
more companionable and hospitable. The
streets are short and crooked, but they are
clean-and then there is an endless varie-
ty II the crookedness and variety Of
the streets render il more difficult to find
your way, the people arc enoug h more
friendly to more than equal the facilities
Here every one esteems it privilege to
favor you with direction. Here, on your
arrival some one is ready with coach to
carry you with ordinary baggage to any
part Of the city for twenty-five cents. In
New-York you will be charged for the
like service, from fifty cents to dollar
The municipal law, however, limits these
plunderers to thirty-one cents which fact
it will be we'll for those who expect to
employ them to bear in mind In n. York,
Albany and Philadelphia, you frequently
come in contact with swine running at
large; and if you get out Of Market and
State streets in Albany, or out Of Broad
way in New-York, you are constantly
annoyed with stencil and miasma rising
fromthe filth. To aN this Boston ex-
hibits wide contrast Heretoo the NOR
al condition fthe poorer class is regard
ed. About half a dozen missionaries o.
different denominations, are emp loyed in
this city. they haze child ems minis,
ter, with whom I have had some acquaint
unce. He is most amiab!e and eXcellcn
man. None of the offspring OF the hu
man family, Of whatever complexion OF
grade, arc excluded from his sympathies.
On the whole. from all the means have
Of Judging. while few cities Of equal size
are more favorable to the enjoyment o
physical health, none efford better speci-
men OF humln society. Let it not be
overlooked that have here been speak
ing comparatively--thlt | have been COM
pairing Boston with other cities, not with
the country. | will undertake no define
Med comparison or contrast between the
society Of cities md Of the country-bu
must be allowed to say that l should
strongly deprecatc the necessity of cdu
eating children in the best city in the
world But above all, after venturing al
expression ofpreference for country soclc
", will not venture to point out the spo
ofcountry in the world-to designate th'
state in all tbs twenty-five United States
todrscr,bc the portion Of New England
(which ofall others could best describe,
that in my truly humble opinion, form

hrbits at present the best specimen Of char

socha an undertaking, however much
might be charged or chargeable with van

Guile, would not, at worst be unnatural.
