From the Quaker city.

PHILADELPHIA, sept. ], lNii.
"Desc'b' Phiod'pha at is the second city in
size in the nitcd states, regularly laid on the
west bank of the Delaware River, the streets cross
ing each other at right angle, like line. chess
board, and inhabited mostly by Quakcrs." Such
were the ideas conveyed to my youthful mind, when
in the primary school was taught the element, Of
Geography, illustrated with cuts. The illustration
| OF the chcss-board was peculiarly effective and /
wondered in childish simplicity if the squares into
which the city was divided, were were not, alter
| nately black and white. And though maturcr years
and better instruction had informed my head, up to
the very hour when first set foot PIilado phia

liza has risen before my mental vision, whenever /
have thought of this city.
The perfect regularity of the streets Of Philalc-

Consumption, mourned over al it is, seems
to me a gentle untying of the knot Of life,
instead of the sudden and harsh tearing
asunder of its threads by other disease-u

in its indulgcnt prolOng,nh al. Gyierrlng, that
consumption is like II blessing. Cords which
it first looscns are the coarser ones most con
fning to the mind The weight of the mate
rial senses is gradually taken from the soul
with the tightening of their food and the less
enng of their strength. Probably, till he
owns himself an invalid, no man has ever
given the wings OF his spirit room enough
few, if any, have thought to adjust the minis
tcrings to body and soul, so as to subdue the
senses to their secondary place and play
With illness enough for this, and not enough
to distress or weaken-with consumption in
other words, as most commonly experienced.
the mind becomes conscious of "A wonderfully
new freedom and prcdominancc. Things
around alter their value. Estimates ofpersons
and pursuits strangely change. Nature
seems us newly beautiful as lia film had fallen
from the eyes. The Purer affections, the sim
pier motives, the humber and more secluded
rclances for sympathy, are found To have
been the closest-lnked with thoughts holder
and froer. Who has not wondered at the
checriuness of consumFtive persons 1t is
because, with the senses kept under by invalid
treatment, there is no depression of spirits. -
With careful regimen and the system puri-
fed and disciplined life, what there is OF it,
is in the most exhilarating balance OF its
varied proportions. Death is not dreaded
where there is, thus, such a concious break

An AMATEUR REAR-lIUNT Nine bears,
driven by the fire from their home in Wash
ngton Co, y. Y lately undertook to migrate
TO Vermont. While swimming the bay
couple of miles from Whitehall, woman and
boys gave chase to an old she bear that was
swimming with her cubs. They rowed up To
the old lady and raped her head with an oar
She turned and put her paws on the edge of
the boat and proposed to come aboard to
settle the matter. At the same time the
cubs and another big bear turned about to
see if it was " free fight, and if 50 they
wanted to be " counted in" The boatmen,
finding bigger fight than they had hargaincd
for, proposed "compromise, and both par
ties made a straight wake for the shore in
opposite directions, 1t is generally supposed
that the woman and boys will not soon SO on
another bear-huut on Lake Chamrlain.
