buildings being mostly quadrangular
pens Of logs, lumber or brick, without
the slightest pretension to beauty or con-
venience; the leading purpose of the
builder being apparently TO secure the
largest amount of space within a given
circuit Of walls. In great city vast
multitudes can be easily acted upon by
the higher intelligences of the few. The
pulpit the bar, the newspaper press, all
these powerful agencies operate with
vastly greater power than they exert in
the sparsely settled districts of the coun-
try. %
The best engineers, mechanics and
artisans are also to be found in large
cities, where there is a demand and a
proper remuneration for their work in
the various departments of mechanical
industry. These all become practical
teachers, through their handiwork, of
the whole country. In fact, city is a
vast museum of the useful arts, and no
intelligent man can walk through its
streets, with his eyes open, without learn
ing something. W pa
In all these and other ways great cities
possess immense civilizing as well as
corrupting power, and those who possess
the principal share of intelligence, wealth
and influence in city are responsible
for the intellectual and moral character
Of its people and the character they
stamp upon the surrounding country.

PerlIs by Land ana BY sea.

A correspondent of the Times of India
gives the following account of remark
able escape: w }
"ADEN, June ll.-0ne of the most re-
markable escapes from the perils attend
ant upon disabled steamer at sea, and
the wonderful good fortune which brought
safely through a dangerous country a
party of volunteers from the ship, |
herewith send you. The steamer Vixen,
Capt. Milne, from Calcutta for London,
encountered bad weather, and shortly be-
fore reaching Alden she ran out of Goals,
and everything available on board was
burnt. She then drifted down on the
Arabian coast, some one hundred and
fifty miles from Alden. After anchor
ing, the captain and the surgeon, Mr.. j
w. Matthews, went on shore to see IT
wood was procurable, but none was to
be had. The doctor and second steward,
with two Lascar boatmen, now volun-
teered to proceed to Alden through the
SomaIi, and other tribes on the coast,
which was consented TO by the captain.
Starting on the afternoon Of the 18th
of June, they walked all night to avoid
what rascals might be on the way, while
some friendly Arab accompanied them;
and made a detour TO obtain eamels OF
a sultan named Hyder On reaching
him they we're most Hospitality received,
great state even was observed and sa-
lutes fred The sultan kindly congrat-
ulated them on their getting safely
through some hostile tribes, and he Of
fered them a boat TO Alden; but the
weather being unpromising, this offer
was declined. The journey was now
recommended, partly on foot and partly
on camels when procurable. The tribes
through which the adventurers passed
were in such state of poverty and
wretchedness that no provisions could
be obtained; so the poor fellows suffered
very much in consequence, and their
sufferings we're aggravated from want of
water also; the intense heat, too, nearly
overcome them. However, with much |
pluck, though driven almost to despera

SHAKER LOVE.
The True story of the EIoping SHAH
ers, Ira IL. Lawson and Eliza Van

n
ers, Ira IL. Lawson and Eliza Van
From the New York SUM-
The courtship was one of long dura-
ton, and the sudden starting off was the
result of careful and deliberate study
Of hewhole matter for days before it
occurred. At the noon hour, when the
family were assembled at the table, the
couple announced it as their intention
to leave the place which has for years
been their home, that evening. Some
surprise was manifested, but neither the
heartfelt appeals of the brethren nor the
heavy sobs and tears of the sisters could
prevent the step from being taken; and
at about eight o'clock that fine evening
in June, Ira and Eliza, for such were
their names, were called for by Pitts
field carriage driver who had been pre-
yiously engaged for the occasion, who
drove them at once to the depot in Pitts
field, where they were soon met by the
Rev Mr.. Waters of that place. who ac-
companied them to Albany. The two
proceeded to the famous Stanwick Hall,
where the preliminary arrangements
were made, and few guests invited into
the spacious parlors, when, soon after
the midnight hour, the Rev. Mr.. Waters
pronounced the words which made Ira
K. Lawson and Eliza Van Valen hus-
band and wife. Immediately after the
ceremony Ira became conscience-strick-
en-, and expressed it as his conviction
that their marriage had better not be
consummated, and that they had better
return and take up their abode beneath
the roof that for so many years had
sheltered them. Eliza at first would not
consent to such course, but the kind
words of Ira at last persuaded her that
she had done wrong, and in exactly
twenty-four hours from the time they
left the village the same carriage was
again seen coming up the street, and in
It were seated the newly married couple,
dressed in the habiliments of the soci-
ETY. they had disgraced, and bearing
upon their countenances unmistakable
signs of their repentance. They alight-
ed and entered the large brick house
where all the members reside. An ex-
PLANTATION was had, the doors were
thrown wide open, the fatted calf was
killed, grand feast was prepared, and
the wayward couple were gladly well
coined to the fold from which they had
SO recently strayed, and to-day are liv-
ing here occupying the same positions
that they have for years, and apparently
as happy as they would have been had
they remained among the Gentiles
The tender smiles and loving glances
exchanged when in their daily walks
they meet and pass each other show that
their love is by no means frozen; but it
is hardly probable that another occur
renee like the one have written of will
ever have to be chronicled. The Rev.
Mr.. Waters confesses to have received |
the sum of fifteen dollars, besides his
expenses, for the labor per-
formed by him, which shows that even
Shakers sometimes pay good fees to
men of the cloth whom they are obliged
to call upon for services.

ton they persevered, and, without any
rest or food for twenty-four hours, they
reached Alden on Sunday, the 1lth.
The surprise that awaited them here is
hardly to be described, for the Vixen
was lying in Alden harbor, and all be-
longing to her safe She had got Goals
from a bungalow procured at Alden by
the chief officer, who, some days pre-
yiously, had sailed from his ship in an
open boat for the purpose Of getting as
sistance.
When the weary and foot-sore tray-
elers arrived at Alden, and the commun-
ity had become aware Of their dangerous
trip, they manifested the greatest delight,
and numerous were the congratulations
bestowed Had bad weather come on at
any period from the steamer breaking
down, while she was at anchor, or when
the small boat was on its way to Alden,
a different tale might have had to be
told. As it turned ont, it was q remark
able escape from dangers which were
sufficiently threatening to make all on
board ever remember their visit to the
coast of Africa and all that followed.
" am not versed in diplomatic mat
ters, but it is in my mind that, seeing
how generously and royalty, indeed, Sui

q suitable letter of acknowledgment and
something more substantial besides? |

The Cfvflfzfng Power of Great
Cities.
From the st. Louis Journal Of Commerce.
The intellectual, moral and physical
world is full Of compensations. If a
great city hides in its dark places a vast
amount of poverty, vice and crime, it
also possesses much greater civihz-
izing power than like number of peo-
pie in the rural districts. Great wealth
Is accumulated in cities; they are the
homes of scholars, writer's, artists, ora
tors and distinguished professional men.
The city has extensive libraries, open to
all-fountains from whence knowledge
flows as free as the current of great
river. 1t has schools and colleges, Or
ganized upon the best plans and sup
piled with the best teachers and profes-
sors. A great city has large number
of daily and weekly papers, besides
monthly periodicals and other pubhca-
tons, all diffusing intellectual light
throughout the whole surrounding terri
tory. City architects plan buildings in
accordance with the principles Of good
taste, and capitalists have plenty of
money to carry the architects plans into
successful execution.
These buildings stand as models to
educate the passing multitude into cor
rect notions as to the proper style OF con-
structing dwelling-houses or more i'm
portant edifces. Go through a suburban
village of a great city, and almost every
house will be so planned and constructed
as to exhibit the characteristics Of
beauty, comfort and convenience. Visit
A village of the same size a hundred
miles away from the city, and of the
line Of railroad, so that intercourse
with the metropolis is neither easy nor
frequent, and you shall find the arehi-
lecture Of a most primitive style, the

COMING OVER.
Royal and Imperial Emigration TO
America.

America.
From the wOrld.l q NJ til
Before the battle of Sedan Mr.. Richard
Schell was in treaty for the sale of the
Jumel estate Of one hundred and sixty
acres to the Emperor Napoleon, who
was desirous Of establishing a l1ied-a-
teyre in this country as the safest retreat
from the political earthquake of Europe
The great French catastrophe which
transmitted that potentate into the exile
Of Chiselhurst alone prevented the con-
summation of Mr.. SehelPs enterprise.
The Emperor lost not only the sinews OF
war but those of peace, and, needing to
cut his coat according to his cloth, he
now seeks among us for possession com
mensurate with his diminished fortune.
1t is understood that Mr.. l.. Nj. Bar
low, who recently purchased the mag
ni6cent Burton-Kennard estate at Glen
Cove, has offered it to his ex-Majesty
for song"-we will say for something
over Mile Nilssons receipts for one Of
her ditties. h
The question of royal and imperial
emigration was fully discussed at a re-
cherche breakfast given on the 10th OF
July by Mr., James McHenry at his
country.seat of Oak Grove, near Lon
don, to Napoleon and Eugene, the
other guests being ex-Queen Christine
Of Spain, and her husband, the Duke of
Rianzares. On that occasion the ex-
Emperor offered to turn over Mr.. Schelrs s
proposal to the Dowager Queen of Spain,
whose wealth is fabulous, while Mr.. Nc
Henry, commissioned to find more
moderate investment for the author ofthe
Life of Caesar, pitched upon Mr.. Barlow s
recent acquisition as the most suitable
one for the illustrious recluse. Photo
graphs of it are on their way to
Europe, aud should they do but
half Justice to the lovely spot in
question, we may yet see the ex-
Empress Eugene at Saratoga before
taking possession Of her new residence
in the fall Whether the visit which Mr..
N. Davidson, the agent of the Roth
schilds in the city of Mexico who sup
piled the French troops with money dur
Ing their occupation of that capital, is
now paying to Mr.. Barlow at Glen Cove
has anything to do with this new impe-
rial speculation is more than we are pre-
pared to assert. But the long sojourn
Of Napoleon's uncle, the ex-Kiug Of
Spain, at Bordentown, after the defeat
Of Waterloo, as well as the naturaliza-
ton Of the Murats in Florida, seems to
mark our country as the traditional re-
treat of the Bonaparte family.
1t is understood that Mr.. Schell is TO
receive $4,000, 600 for the Jumel property
from ex-Queen Christine, while Mr.. Bar
low only asks 1.-THE or so Of that sum
-say OO,OO0-for the future residence
of the imperial exiles. -ts
