E1pen ses of the library.

The number of volumes in the library has
been steadily and rapidly increased. In sddi-
ton to the catalogues above named, a supple
ment was issued in 1882, at which time there
were 31ls volumes. In 1910, an entirely new
and classified catalogue was published, contain
ing the titles of about 5000 volumes; and in l849
another and more complete edition was pre-
pared. Several supplements to this have been
issued from time to time; but these will soon be
superseded by the publication of the catalogue
which is now in the course of preparation, and
the want of which is experienced by all the
patrons of the library. In the following table,
the state Of the library at different times, espe-
cially during the last ten years, is shown;--

Several of these are duplicated. and orders
have likewise been issued for g. number of other
periodicals, which will considerably increase
the number given above.
In January, 1926, the Directors proposed to
the members that they should resolve them
selves into a jont-stock company, witch was
unanimously favored. The estimated value of
the books, debts and furniture was placed at
$4,000; and 300 shares, at $40 each, were issued,
and subjected to an annual tax of one dollar
each. Such Of the members as had subscribed
only three doll9rs were granted the privilege of
purchasing a share OF stock for seven dollars

The Various Locations of the Library.
On the 18th of April, 1926, the Library was
removed from the original location to the
second story of the building at the northeast
corner of Fifth and Chestnut streets. Mr.. A.
Remley had for short time previous been act
ing as Librarian; but he was at this time SIC.
ceeded by Mr. H. Ayres. The latter gentleman
resigned on the 26th OF July, 1880, when Mr..

The New Library as it is to be.

Before the new building purchased by the
LIBRARY Company will be adapted to the pur-
poses required of II, considerable alterations
will be necessary. Plans for these have been
prepared by the architects, Messrs. John Frazer,
Frank Furness, and George W. Hewitt, and
approved by the Board of Directors. When the
Improvements proposed by them are completed,
the Mercantile Library of Philadelphia, in ex-
terror as well as interior, will be without rival
on this continent. The large cut of the front

One day as | wended my way TO school,
thought, as we sometimes will,
This is a hard, rough life to lead,
All the way toling up hill.
For there are moments in life, you know,
When pail DER the present is cast,
which hides from sight the future bright
And the beautiful vanished past.
Though the morn was fair. shadow was there
And my heart sung not in tune
With the Joyous music Of growing things,
Unfolding their buds in the leafy June.
My eyes were down, my thoughts away,
A sweet voice called my name,
From over the wall please may kiss you n
The innocent query came.
Parting bushes away stood sweet little May
Her heart trimming over with love;
I thought for moment an angel had strayeC
From the heavenly mansions above.
The tender tone, with its healing balm,
Came to me as a voice from Heaven;
felt that to Danish away my gloom,
The message of love had been given.

OF innocent angel May,
My heart grew light, and the future bright,
The shadow had passed away.

AMERICAN GIRLs.-Good taste may do
much toward checking extravaganza, and we
seroutly believe that more artistic eye
would often lessen, by one half the cost Of
dress and furniture, and save our daughters
from the barbarous folly that sacrifices true
beauty to mere expensiveness. 1t may cost
something too much to dress handsomely, yet
it is clear that the best dressed women do not
spend the most money on clothes, and they
who are likely to run their husbands by mon
strous bills at the jewellers or silk and lace
stores generally succeed more in initiating the
fashion plate Of our magazines and the win
dows Of our fancy stores, than in presenting
farer image Of feminine humanity deoked
with the pearl of the greatest price. 1t will
be day worth nothing in the calendar when
fair woman emancipates herself from the
yoke of vulgar fashion, and when good taste
and true beauty, not the scale of mere expen-
siveness and rarity, preside over her wardrobe
and drawing room.-ReU. DR.. Osgood.

HELP YoURsRLF-People who have been
bolstered up and ieUered along all their lives
are seldom good for anything in crisis
When misfortune comes they look around for
some body to cling to and lean upon. II the
prop is not there, down they go. Once down,
they are as helpless a. c. psized turtles OF I'M
horsed men in amor, and can never find their
feet again without assistance. Such silken fell
lows no more resemble self made men who
have fought their way to position, making
difficulties their stepping stones, and deriving
determination from defeat, than vines resem-
BILE the oak, or sputtering rush-lights the stars
of Heaven. Effort persisted in to achievement
trains man into self-reliance, and when he
has proved 20 the world that he can trust him,
every body else in the world can trust him.
We say, therefore, that il is unwise to de-
prive young men of the advantages which re-
suit from energetic action, by boosting
them over obstacles which they ought to be
able to surmount alone. No one ever. swan
we'll who placed his whole confidence in a
cork jacket; and if when breasting the sea OF
life, we cannot buoy ourselves up and try Ia
push ahesd by dint of our own energies, we
are not worth salvage and it is but little con-
sequence whether we "sink or swim, survive
or perish"
Que Of the best lessons father can give to
a son is "Work. strengthen your moral and
mental faculties as you would strengthen your
muscles by vigorous exercise. Learn to con-
quer circumstances, and be independent of for
tune" Men of athletic minds who have left
their marks on the Grass in which they lived,
were all trained in rough school. They did
not mount to their high position by the help
of leverage; they leaped the chasms, grappled
with opposing rocks, avoided the ayalanches,
aud when the goal was reached, felt that but
for the toll that had strengthened them as
they strove, it could never have been attained.
