GROwTu OF I.oNDoN.-Wc are apt
to imagine here in the United States,
that the growth Of our towns and cities
gradually surpass in rapidity and eX-
tent those of any part Of the old world
Some facts about London would seem
to contradict this notion.
at is stated, for instance, in a recent
report tothe Government, that 'in little
more than twelve years, twelve hun
bred new streets have beerpdded to
London, which is atthe rate ozone hun
dred streets year.
"Thesc twelve hundred new streets
contain forty-eight thousand houses
most Of them built on large and com
modious scale, and in n style Of super
or comfort With all this wonderful
increase, it is said, that the demand for
houses instead Of diminishing, continue
es to increase and that while in many
towns of the interior, the number OF
unocuped houses is nugmentaliug-
scarcely is new street in London
| finished, before almost every house II
1t IS fully occupied
zone great reason assigned for the
rapid growth Of London, IS the extra
ordinary facility, economy and des
patch with which people ar nowtrans
ported ovcrralIroads terminating them
Owing 10 tins cause, IT IS established
that the daily influx Of individuals i
five times greater than It was fitecl

THE WAY OF THE WoRLD.-There goes a yir.
tuous and honest man. Who cares Nobody looks
at him. or cares fig how he dresses, or what he
says.
Here passes man Of wealth. The old ladies and
all the children run to the window. "Wheref"
"Whop "How does he dress 7" He is a great
object of attraction. "How in the world did be
make so muchW "He doesn't look as if he was
worth penny"
This is the way Of the world. Every body gazes
with admiration upon the rich, while they turn away
from the virtuous poverty.
Let man make ten thousand dollars, and he is
a gentleman, every inch ofhim. Every body has
kind word and smile for him.
Be poor and honest and no one knows you. Men
and women have heard of such name as yours,
aud you may live at their elbows, but they are not
certain about it,
Possess a fortune and live at the mile post, and
your neighbors and friends would line the streets
TO the heart Of the city. All would know where
you lived and point stranger to the very door,
We repeat-such is the world. Golden vice is
caressed, while heavenly virtue is not Observed
Notwithstanding, we had rather be Lazarus than
Dives Grace Darling than Stephen Girard.---

The MATHEMATICIAN FROM VRRMoNT-The
youth who has been mentioned as prodigy in the
combination of figures is thus noticed by Professor
Pierce, of Cambridge, in the Boston Courier:
81 have seen this wonderful Vermont boy. and
am not disappointed in him. His powers Of nu-
merical calculation extraordinary although
they are inferior to those of Zerah Colburn, and
are not by any means, his most interesting charac-
teristc. His early exhibition of the thirst for
knowledge, aud his capacity to acquire it, have no,
been exaggerated, and are accompanied with pow
ers Of abstraction and concentration rarely posses
sed, at,any age, except by minds Of the highest or
der. His aitainments are chiefly mathematical and
astronomical, and would be highly creditable 10
young man of eighteen he can solve quadratic
equations, and compute ecipses and is familiar with
all the elementary portions Of geometry algebra
and trigonometry. At his present rate of acquisi.
ton, he will HIMSELF at the age of eighteen be the
greatest mathematician alive. But here is the Sc
rious question: Is this rate to continue In other
words, Is this case Of premature Development,
which will end in early decayl or is il the YOUTH
fol state of gigantic mind, which under Divine
Providence, is destined to grow into an ornament
OF science, glory to his country, and blessing to
the worldl His childlike ease and unconsciousness
of department quite favorable TO the latter view;
but the pressure of;he multitude, eager for every
new source of excitement, must not be permitted
TO crush and dwarf him. He is, undoubtedly,
nice morse for some editorial whale but if he is
swallowed and not speedily disgorged, he can never
become sign to this wicked generation"

lu,ely for a more enlarged and beneficial public
use, on the one hand, and modifying or changing
the use on the other.
There is no difficulty arising from the fact that
the property is already sequestered TO public use;
but the difficulty has arisen, the reported cases
show, from the employment OF private corporations
TO exercise the power in question, and TO carry
out these great measures Of internal improvement
The objection was first started, that, in the case
oiturnpike and railroad corporations, the property
Of the citizen has been taken. not for public use
but for the private use and benefit Of the corpora
ton. The proceeding has, however, been sustain
ed upon the ground that, although the enterprise
has been undertaken with view TO private emolu-
ment, yet the ultimate purpose is the public con-
venieDce; and if the legislative rower can take
private property for such purposes, il may be taken
through the agency Of corporation as well as that
OF public executive officer. So, where a grant
of franchise comes in collision with previous
grant Of similar kind, it has been objected that il
was not competent for the legislature 20 take the
property Of one person for the use and benefit Of
another yet such proceeding has been sustained
where it is for public use, and the increased bene
fit to the public requires. the sacrifice.
Our case, however, is free from .his objection
The property has been taken, not for the benefit Of
another private corporation but strictly and solely
for public use.
The objection urged in the State court, that no
new highway is laid out, is founded upon an erro-
neous assumption. The public and free highway is
in legal sense, different thing from bridge, or
way, which is private property, and which the cti-
zens may use only for toll, 10 be paid in each in
stance of using.
The highway was public only in limited sense
That it was competent for the legislature or the
courts under the statute to enlarge the public use,
is, | think, clear.
II the objection is that no new highway ,cas
necessary nasmuch the public had already a
right OF passage there, and could use the way as
they had previously done, the answer is, that the
power of the courts this matter is not limited
to cases OF strict, absolute necessity but they are
at liberty 10 consult the public convenience, and to
look to beneficial and enlarged public
use.
They are the constitutional Judges on this point,
and their decision upon it is conclusive.
The statute Of Vermont, under which the court
proceeded, does not use the word necessity. It's
language is. Whenever there shall be occasion for
new highway" SC, and when, in their 1.-THE
courrsl judgment, the public good requires pub
lie highway"
There several points made in the State courts.
which addressed rather TO the discretion ofthose
courts, and which have no bearing upon the con-
stiIutiona question it is not deemed necessary to
notice them here

Trembles the misty outline OF the hill

Shakes in the wind its dusl-sucwn branches still.

It is the hour when babes with angels speak
While We arc rushing 10 our pleasures weak
And sinful, all young children, with bent knees.
Eyes raised to Heaven and small hands folded fair,
Say at the self same hour the self same prayer
On our behalf, to Him who oil things sees.
And then they sleep Oh peaceful cradle sleep
Oh ohildhoods hallowed prayer religion deep
Oflovo, not fear, in happiness expressed
So the young bird when done is twghtlay

It's head beneath its wing and sinks to rest
Pray thou for him who nightly sins
Until the day dawn bright

Their prayers al twilight dim;
