THE CITY OF LONDON.

London now covers one hundred and twen- ty-one square miles, having increased three fold since the year 1900 and bricks and mor- tar still invade and capture the green fields
 The population, according to the report of the registrar-general, judgments at the rate of about one thousand per week-half by birth and half by immigration. Notwithstanding the enormous wealth of the metropolis, it is recorded in the report of the registrar gener- al, as remarkable fact, that lone in six of those who leave the world die in one of the public institutions-a work house, hospital, asylum, or prison. Nearly one in eleven of the deaths is in a work house." This shows that poverty follows close at the heels of wealth, and fastens on the multitude with re- lentless grasp Every sixth person dies pauper or criminal Can this be said of any other city on the globe? And how great a number there must be who barely manage to escape this fate. The severe competition for subsistence and wealth which characterizes London life IS terrible ordeal for any human being to pass through and thousands perish in the attempt, crushed beneath the golden Juggernaut. 1t IS now notorious, says Lon- don paper, that in the large establishments, where some hundreds of assistants are em- ployed, the great majority of them are broken down tradesmen, crushed by the competition of capital. Even these occupations are ob- tained with difficulty, and the less fortunate gradually sink lower and lower in the scale, till they are driven into the public institutions, where they meet an untimely death. The list is further sweed by that numerous class who, born in a respectable sphere, and we'll educated, sink into degradation from the sheer love of display and the vanity of living beyond their means. It is on record, that out of eight thousand convicts who have pass ed their probation in Pentonville, one thou sand fell through this wretched vice, and it is stated that the most of the number were lori gnally respectable in more than an ordinary degree" These statesman teach us that the greatness of London has been purchased at fearful cost in human poverty, misery and crime, the result of his eager pursuit of wealth.

OPENING OF 4 SESSION OF CONGRESS BY WASHINGTON. ..t

It was. think in l794 or '95 that as aboy Twas among the spectators congregated atthat corner and parts close by, to witness great public spectacle. Washington was to open the session of Congress by going in person, as was his custom, to deliver speech to both houses assembled in the chamber of the House of Representatives. The crowd was immense considering the size of our city, for although then the largest in the country, its population was hardly more than forty-ive thousand. It filled the whole area, in Chestnut street, before the State House, extended along the line of Chestnut street, and spread north and south some distance along Sixth street. A way kept open for carriages in the middle of the street, was the only place not closely packed with people, I had stand on the steps of one of the houses in Chestnut street, which rais- ing me above the mass of human heads, ena- bled me to see to advantage. After waiting long hours, as it seemed 10 boys impatience, the carriage of the President at length slowly drove up, drawn by four beautiful bay horses. It was while, with medallion ornaments on the panels, and the livery the entire display in equlpages at that era, Tn our country gener- ally, and in Philadelphia in particular while the seat of government being more rich and varied than now, though fewer in number. Washington got out of his carriage, and slow ly crossing the pavement, ascended the steps of the edifce, upon the upper one of which he paused, and turning half round, looked in the direction of carriage which had fol- lowed in the lead of his own. Thus he stood for minute, distinctly seen by everybody. He stood in all his civic dignity. His costume was full suit of black velvet; his hair, itself blanched by time, powdered to a snowy white ness, dress sword at his side, and his hat held in his hand. Thus he stood in silence; and what thoughts these were! Throughout the dense crowd profound stiffness reigned Not a word was heard. It was feeling beyond | that which vents itself in shouts. Every heart was full. In vain would any tongue have spoken. All were at gaze in mute ad- miration. Every eye was riveted on his ma jestic form. It might have seemed as if he stood in that position to gratify the assembled thousands with full view of the Father of his Country. Not so. He paused for his secre- tary, then, believe, Mir. Dandrdge or Colo mel Lear, who got out of the other carriage chariot-decoratcd like his own His secre- tary, ascending the steps, handed him pa per-probably a copy of the speech he was to deliver-whcn both entered the building.

GREATNEs.-All greatness consists in this

GREATNEs.-All greatness consists in this in being alive to what is going on around one; in living actually; in giving voice to the thought of humanity in saying to ones fel- lows what they want to hear or need to hear at that moment; in being the concretion, the re- result of the influences of the present world In no other way can one effect the world than in responding thus to its needs, in embodying thus its ideas. You will see in looking to history, that all great men have been piece of their time; take them out and set them elsewhere, and they will not fit so we'll; they were made for their day and generation. The literature which has left any mark, which has been worthy of the name, has always mirrored what was doing around it; not ne- cessarily daguerreotyping the mere outside, but at least rejecting theinside-the thoughts, if not the actions of men-their feelings and sentiments, even it treated of apparently far of themes.

THE FOREIGN COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATEs-The foreign commerce of the Uni ted States is now so extensive that it required i'll 1S5S-the last year for which we have the complete returns-not less than II 759 ships, with an aggregate tonnage of 6,605 ,O45 tons, native and foreign which carried to the var ious ports cargoes from foreign countries. And there sailed from those ports, with car goes of American of foreign produce or man. ufactures, which were exchanged for those re- ceived from our countries, Fl ,279 ships with an aggregate burden of (, ,S02 1892 tons. The crews employed in the American vessels thus engaged numbered 142 ,234, and in the for eign ships 103 ,556, making total of nearly a quarter of million men deriving their sub- sistence from the conveyance to and from the United States and other countries of the arti- tles which enter its foreign trade. With one exception there is no country in the world which affords so much occupation to mercan- tile shipping as this Young America. That exception is, of course, ''Old England. - During the same year, 1858, there were 97,- 543 British and foreign ships which entered and cleared the ports of the British Empire, and these had an aggregate tonnage of 22,- 309,9Sl tons, America employs very nearly an equal proportion of native and foreign ships, the native being II 1859, and the for eign, II 179 and in the trade of the United Kingdom, the British number 51 ,970, and the foreign but 45,573 In the possession of ships there is but slight difference between the two countries. The aggregate tonnage of the United States in 1858 amounted to 5,049, 1907 tons, while that of Great Britain was 5,609,623 Of the American vessels, not less than 2,361 ,595 tons are engaged in the coasting trade. Of steam vessels, the United States is ahead of Great Britain, and possesses 729, ,39O tons, against ASS, ,415 tons

TAXING COLD.

In Halls Journal of Health we find the fol- lowing suggestive and timely hints and facts under this heading. us..t
 A larger number of fatal winter diseases result from taking cold, and often from such slight causes, apparently as to appear incredi- ble to many. But, although the causes are various, the result is the same, and arises from the violation of single principle, to wit cooling off too soon aftor exercise. Perhaps this may be more practically instructive if in dividual instances are named, which, In the opinion of those subsequently seeking advice in the varions stages of consumption where the cause of the great misfortune promising that when a cold IS once taken, marvelously slight causes serve to increase 1t for the first few days, causes which, under ordinary cir cumstances, even moderately healthtul sys- tenn would have easily warded off.
 Rachel, the tragedienne increased the cold which ended her life, by insufficient clothing in the cars, in travelling from New York to Boston; such was her own statement.
 The late immediate cause of the late illness of Abbot Lawrence, the fnancier, and the philanthropist, was an injudicions change of clothing
 An eminent clergyman got into a cold bed in mid-winter within fifteen minutes after preaching an earnest discourse; he was in- stantly chilled and died within forty-eight hours.
 A promising young teacher walked two miles for exercise, and on returning to his room, it being considerably too late to light a fire, sat for half an hour reading book, and before he knew it, a chill passed over him. The next day he had splitting of blood, which was the beginning of the end.
 A mother sat sewing for her children to a late hour in the night, and noticing that the fire had gone out, she concluded to retire to bed at once; but thinking she could finish in few minutes, she forgot the passing time, until an hour or more had passed, and she found herself "thoroughly chilled" and a monrh's illness followed to pay for that hour
 Many cold, cough and consumption is excited into action by pulling of the hat or overcoat as to men, and the bonnet and shawl as to women, immediately on entering the house in winter, after walk. An interval of at least five or ten minutes should be al- lowed for however warm and close the a. pertinent may appear on first entering, 1t will seem much less so at the end of five minutes, if the outer garments remain as they were be- fore entering. Any one who judiciously uses this observation. will find multifold re- ward in the course of lifetime.

NAPOLEON AND THE ATHEIsTs.-One eve hing a groupe of officers were conversing to- gether upon the quarterback respecting the existence of God. Many of them believed not in his being. It was calm, cloudless, bril- liant night The heavens, the work of Gods fingers, canopied them gloriously. The moon and the stars, which God had ordained, beamed down upon them with serene lustre AS they were fippantly giving utterance to the argu- ments of Atheism, Napoleon paced to and fro on the deck, taking no part in the conversation, and apparently absorbed in his own thoughs Suddenly he stopped before them, and said, in those tones of dignity which ever overaweA :; Gentlemen your arguments are very final; D F. who made ali those worlds, beamings so gloriot

ENGLAND AND DFRANCE.-France and Eng land are not at actual war with each other; but if we may judge from some late deJ9on- strations, never did there exist between two States more hostile feelings than those which characterize the connection at this moment between these two important empires The domestic armed attitude of England speaks for itself, and a project alleged to be that of the Emperor Napoleon requires no comment. His Majesty is said to have expressed his re- solve to build fifty floating, iron-cased, impreg- nable batteries He is reported to have said, (" Let England go on building ships-of-war ad hbatum. That l regard not, for my floating batteries will pass into the center of them un- hurt, while dealing annihilation to them.'

SABBATR IN THE COUNTRY.

The croaking wagons in the shed;
 The busy fail is heard no more; The horse is filtered down and fed, The harness hangs above his head, The whip behind the door. His leathern gloves and hooked bill
 To-day the woodman throws aside; The blacksmith's fiery forge is still; The wooden wheel of the old mill Sleeps in the mill-dam wide. The miller's boat is anchored where, - Far out, the water lilies sleep; You see their shadows mirrored there, The broad white flowers reflected clear,
 Within the mill-p0nd deep. The harrow's in the garden shed,
 Hoe, rake and spade are put away; Unweeded stands the onion bed; The gardener from his work hath fled;
 'Tis holy Sabbath-day. Upon the wall the white cat sleeps,
 By which the churn and mik-pans lie; A drowsy watch the house dog keeps, And scarcely from his dull eye peeps
 Upon the passer-by. And sweetly over hill and dale
 The silvery sounding church bells ring; Across the moor and down the dale They come and go, and on the gale
 Their Sabbath tidings fling. From where the whitc-washed Sunday school Peeps out between the poplars dim, Which ever throw their shadows cool Far out upon the rushy pool,
 You hear the Sabbath hymn. From farm and field, and grange grown gray,
 From woodland walks and winding ways, The old and young, the grave and gay, Unto the old church come to pray,
 And sing Gods holy praise.

THIS LIVE WORLD OF OuRs.-Agassi7

THIS LIVE WORLD OF OURs-Agassiz and Gould estimate that there are at least two hundred and fifty thousand different species of living animals! When we think for mo- ment of the number of individuals belonging to each species, we can begin to have faint idea of the innumerabe? throng of animated creatures that people this earth of ours, which is of itself only minor satellite of one of a vast number of solar systems. We said a " faint idea," for who can grasp the multitude of the figures required to enumerate the indi- viduals of a single species-say of cattle among quadrupeds, or of pigeons among birds, or of herrings among fishes, or of house-fies or musketoes amonginsects, each one of which is living, breathing, pleasure-seeking animal!

WASHINGTON S REGARD FOR HIS MOTHER

WASHINGTON S REGARD FOR HIS MOTHER Washington, when quite young, was about to go to sea as midshipman every thing was arranged, the ship lay opposite his fathers house, the little boat had come on shore to take him off, and his whole heart was bent on going. After his trunk had been carried down tc the boat, he went to bid his mother farewell, and saw the tears bursting from her eyes. However, he said nothing to her; but he saw that his mother would be distressed if he went, and perhaps never be happy again. He just turned around to the servant, and said, [" Go and tell them to fetch my trunk back. will not go away to break my mo- ther's heart" His mother was struck with surprise at his decision, and she said to him, " George, God has promised to bless the chil- dren that honor their parents, and l believe he will bless you"

THE SECRET.

l have something sweet to tell you, But the secret you must keep; And remember if it isn't right, Pm talking in my sleep. For 1 know I am but dreaming When think your love is mine; And 1 know they are but seeming, All the hopes that round me shine. So remember, when tell you
 What l cannot longer keep. We're none of us responsible
 For what we say in sleep. My pretty secrets coming,
 o, listen with your heart, And you shall hear it humming So close twill make you start. Oh, shut your eyes so earnest,
 Or mine will wildly weep l love you. l adore you but I'm talking in my sleep.

OUR CHILDREN -Our cb;Idran arc to Al

OUR CHILDREN-Our children are to fill our places in society-in church and State, and the manner in which they will fill them depends upon the manner in which we edu- cate them. If we train them up in the Sab- bath-Schools, for God and his church, they will amply repay us for our care; but if they are trained up for the world-in the streets it the gambling and tipling saloon-in Sabbath-breaking, profanity, licentiousness and intemperance-in idleness-in sin, they will dishonor our names and repay us hy-and- by with vengeance.

ROMANTIC STORY OF A PRINTERS LOVE. A young printer, of Springfield, Mass, fell in love with a beautiful girl, who had the nisfortune> to be rich. He essayed to attract her attention, but in vain. Despairing, he started for California-that land of refuge for broken fortunes and wounded hearts. This was a village, and wanted printers more than at present. The boy quickly became man there; and, embarking in the printing busi- ness, soon found himself the proprietor of an establishment from which sprang, in due time, a weekly paper, ere long to be followed by a daily. His journal and his fortunes hourished amazingly, and he returned to New York iR 1854, with the avowed purpose of buying six-cylinder press, but with the unavowed purpose of locking up lovely form in his now golden chases. Alas for human hopes! The maiden was welded and the mother of two children. The printer bought his presses and returned to Californa-a sadder, if not a wiser man. Years progressed, and he prospered. One day lady visited his editorial room, to lay her modest contribution on his table, in hopes of getting some remuneration for 1t. Her story was brefy told; her husband came to mend his fortunes in the land of gold, and had died, and she was left very poor, with her two chil- dren to support The editor looked at the lady moment-and handed her a doubloon. The astonished woman essayed to utter thanks, but was waived away. To shorten the story, the lady was his early love, and-he married her, sold out his establishment re- turned to New York, and is now enjoying as much felicity on the banks of the Hudson as it falls to the lot of few printers to even con- caive
