This Queen City grows slow aud sure.'
II is . standing example Of the invariable
success Of labor and economy. For q half
century these elements have been steadily nj
work in this city, and notwithstanding the
idleness and dissipation Of
msusy, the city has gone on and is still 10
going up. Her manufactures are more exr
tensive and better established than any in
the West.
But she is not 90 nlmbls and rapid as Chi
cage. Her streets are paved-with one or
two exceptions with heavy rockville her
wagons, horses, carriages, and indeed to her
men and women, move more slowly than In
our Lake City. The old fashioned street
markets, remind one Of ancient tines In
each snecsssiys evening through the week
save sabbstb, wagons carts, be, will be seen

'up, md At early morn WIN be opened out,
sometimes hundreds OF them. with avery
kind Of meat, 6sh, fowl. butter, cheese, veg
etablss. fruit, &c, &c Here most Of them
larry, causing jam on the sidewalk Till
neir midday-and as they gradually retire,
others begin to roll in on some other street
That such system IL less economical than
that which supplies families from groceries,
admits Of but little doubt. Much time is lost,
and often great exposure endured. This is.
however, to some extent compensated, by
the freshness Of the articles coming directly
from the farms. and also thu primitive sim
plicity Of the custom. The variety in the
sights, is worth more than the old Broadway
Museum.
To return for a moment to the blessings
Of industry and economy. These are found
not morely in the facts, but in the acts which
achieves them. A gymnasium. though earn
ing nothing in its exercises, is.a blessing. 1t
strengthens muscle and develops the whole
body. 1t is better than drugs and doctors.

forts Of life, Is yet far better than non. pro-
doctive exercise. Ths magnificent bridge
