grnmbling because We cannot grasp the for
eign trade Of New York, the produce trade
of Chicago. the cotton trade of the south
and almost everything else; yet p Philadelphia
has her field in which she shines preemi-
nently, as in the sugar, coal West Indian
South American, iron and other branches of
trade. MANY Of these croskers obstinately
refuse to believe that Philadelphia Is the
greatest manufacturing city in the world,
when statistics abundsndg prove the fact
We would not have Philadelphians sit down
contentedly in the belief that all this entities
them to rest on their laugeis, nor have we
any fear that they viii 90 81
But surely these things sntitie the city to
a far higher rank than she enjoys, and we
should on all occasions INSIST upon her
claims being respected, beth at home and
abroad. We are accustomed to speak Of
Philadelphia as the second city in America.
To many respects she Is the first. Her per-
manent improvements outstrip all rivalry,
audln actual houses she Is the greatest city
on this continent. The mere furnishing Of
supplies to such city is sufficient to employ
more capital than is devoted to the trade Of
many large States.
1t should not be forgotten, too, that all
kinds OF business pay relatively as well here
as anywhere else; than those who 80 else
where, under the mistaken impression that
business can there be more easily obtained,
generally fail, that all the money so literally
invested here IA improvements has been
made here IN legitimate pursuits, which Is
the best proof that could possibly be afforded
Of the substantial character Of that trade Of
which we hear so many dispaTagIng reports.

SUSDAY.-Thank God for the Sabbath
After SIX weary days of toll and care, and
business anxiety, how delightful is the com
ing of the Sabbath-the wheel of Ixion
ceases in its turning eyolutions, and the
stone OF Sisyphus paused upon the Inside,
the back is eased Of its burden the mind is
lifted from the thoughts of daily cares and
aYoeations to the contemplation of higher
and nobler themes. The Sabbath is a glo-
rious institution To the beast at the plow,
to the artezan in his workshop, to the chem
ist in his labratory, to the professional man
amid his books, and to the author with his
pen-comes the Sabbath with like blessing
10 each.

WENDELL PHILLIPS AND A SOUTH.
ERN WOMAN.


ERN WOMAN.
One day during the war, he spoke before
the lyceum of Gloucester, and returning
home BY the ears next morning fell in with
q lady, who got upon the train at way sta
ti0n. She was Southern refugee, who had
been suddenly reducing from affluence to
poverty, and was supporting herself and her
iathcrless children by giving an occasional
lecture before a country audience. 1t was a
hard struggle, for the field was full, aud she
WAS almost unknown and friendlcss but
with a brave heart she worked on, never
asking dollar OF aid from any society or
individual. MIR. Phillips saw her get upon
the car, aud asked her to take a seat be-
side him 1t was winter day, aud she was
thinIy clad, and shivcring from the exposure
Of a long ride in the open air Of cold
morning. Observing this Mr.. Phillips
asked, Where did you speak last night ?''
She told him it was a town ten miles dis
taut from the railway,
And-I wouldn' be impertinent-how
much did they pay you
Five dollars and the fare to and from
Boston.
Five dollars" be exclaimed, why |
always get ffty or a hundred, and your lee
ture must be worth more than mine-you
can give them facts, aud | only opinions
Small as it is [ am very glad to get it,
Mr. Phillips, answered the lady, | would
talk at that rate every night during the
winter
He sat for moment in silence then he
put his hand into his pocket drew out a roll
of bank notes, and -aid IN Lesitatiug way

same a. "a man If she does the work Now
my price is fifty OF hundred dollars, and if
you viii let me divide it with you | shall not
have any more than you, and the thing viii
be even. The lady at first refused, but af-
ter a little urging, she put the notes into her
reticule. AT the end of her journey, she
counted the roll, and found il contained fifty
dolars-eyery dollar that he had received
for bis lecture at Gloucester. It may add
to this incident to say that the lady was by
marriage, niece of Jefferson Davis.-Ne,r

ON THE SHORES OF TENNESSEE.

Move my arm chair, faithful Pompey,
In the sunshine bright aud strong,
For this world is fading, Pompey-
Massa won be with you long
And | iain would hear the south wind
Bring once more the sound 10 me
OF the wayelets softly breaking
On the shores Of Tennessee.
''M0urnful though the ripplcs murmur,
As they still the story tell,
How no vessels float the banner
That We loved so long and WE'LL
! shall listen to their music,
Dreaming that again l see
Stars and Stripes on sloop and shallop,
Sailing ap the Tennessee.
and Pompcy, while old Massa waiting
For death s last despatch to come,
If that exiled starry banner
Should come proudly sailing home,
Yoa shall greet 1t, slave no longer
Voice and hand shall both be free
That shout and point TO Union colOrs,
On the waves Of Tennessee.
"Massa's berry kind to Pompey
Bat ole darky's happy here,
Where he tended corn aud cotton
Fer ese many a long gone year.
Over youder Missis sleeping
No one tends her grave like me
Mehbe she would miss the flowers
She used to love in Tennessee.
:" Pears ike she was watching, Msssa,
If Pompey should beside him stay;
Nebbe she remember better
How for him she used to pray
Telling him that way up yonder
H. .,r,Ivr Lr
IF he served the Lord OF heaven
While he lived in Tennessee
Silently the tears were rolling
Down the poor old dusky face,
As he stepped behind bis master,
In his long accustomed place.
Then silence fell around them.
As they gazed on rock and tree, -
Pictured in the placid waters
OF the rolling Tennessee
Master, dreaming Of the battle
Where he fought by Narions side,
When be bid the naughty Tarleton
Stoop his lordly crest Of pride
Man, remembering how you sleeper
Once be held upon his knee,
Ere she loved the gallant soldier,
Ralph Fervair. of Tennessee.
Sull the south wind fondly fingers
Mid the veteran silvery hair;
Still the boHdmau, close beside him,
Stands behind the old arm chair.
With his dark hued hand uplihed,
Shading eyes, he bends to see
Where the woodland, boldly juttiug,
Turns aside The Tennessee,
Thus he watches cloud born shadows
Glide from tree to u1aauiair- crest
Softly creeping aye and ever,
To the river yielding breast.
Hal above the foliage yoUder
Something iutters wild and free.
"Massa, Massa HaIlelujah
The flag $ come back to Tennessee ~
"Pdmpey hold me on your shoulder,
Help me stand on foot once more,
That may salute the colors
As they pass my cabin door.
Here the paper signed that frees you
Give "a freeman shout with me-
God aud Cni9n, be our watchword
Ever more in Tennessee
Then the trembling voice grew fainter,
And the limbs refused to stand;
One prayer TO Jesus-and the soldier
Gijded TO that better land.
When the flag went down the river,
Man and master both were free,
While the ring-doye' S note was mingled
With the ripping Tennessee.

One of the most forcible aud truthful des-
criptions Of the irrepressible conflict in
America, between Freedom and Slavery, Is
contained in a speech recently delivered by
John Bright, at dinner given to William
Lloyd Garrison, in London. The dlstin-
guishcd English orator said
Spite Of all that persecution could do,
opinion grew-in the North in favor Of fee
dom. but the South in favor of a most dew
iHsh delusiou: that slavery was a Divine in
stitutiou. The moment that idea took pos
session of the South, war became inevitable,
Neither fact nor argument nor counsel,
nor philosophy, nor religion could by any
possibility affect the discussion Of the ques-
ton when once the church teachers Of the
South had fallen into that snare, and had
taught their people that slavery was Di-
vine institution, because then they began TO
cling tn it on other and different grounds,
and said evil, be thou my good Thus
we hal light set against darkness, freedom
against bondage, good against evil, and, If
Won Ike it. heaven against he'll; and unless
there was some stupendous miTical greater
than any on record even in the inspired
writings, it was impossible that the war
should not spring out of this state OF things.
Then too. the political shareholders, that
dreadful brotherhood in whom all turbulent
passions were let loose, the moment they
found the Presidential elections Of 1860 GO
Ing adversely to them, took up arms to sus-
tain their hateful system, and then came the
earthquake which had been so often foretold,
20 often menaced, and so often postponed
and the ground rceled under the whole ma
tion during the four years Of agony, and then
at last, when the smoke Of the battlefield
cleared away, the horrid shape which had
cast its shadow over a whole continent had
vanished and was gone forever.
