ourselves Of our two splendid rivers as o
means of city travel.
Above all these temporary expedients, how
ever, looms up the absolute necessity Of some
solid and sufficient plan of rapid transit for
the growing metropolis. Year after year we
see buildings springing up in the upper part
of the island, and with the annual increaseand
the spreading out Of the population comes new
demand for some means Of quick transporta-
ton between the Harlem River and the Battery.
At present we have nothing but the wearisome,
inconvenient horse cars, with the exception Of
the Greenwich street lamppost elevated road,
which only runs to Thirtieth street, on the
west side, and is out Of the way for our busi-
ness and laboring classes. BY comparison,
this is the best means Of transit now at our
command, and it is desirable that it should be
extended to Fort Washington as speed
| lily as possible. The Vanderbilt tunnel
is under way and will be o gain to the people
so for as it goes; but after all both these
roads, when completed, will only afford q
partial relief to the city. We really require
two viaduct railways, one on the east side and
one on the west side Of the city, running from
the Battery into Westchester county, with
cross lines, either underground or elevated,
OF convenient distances along the routes.
These alone will fully accommodate our
population in ten years from the
present time, and these alone will efficiently
help the city forward swiftly to the magnificent
destiny in store for it in the future. Oul
! present difficulty will serve TO impress upon

Longevity of Ouakers

For a number of years we have motto.
ed the comparatively great number of
old men and women in their meetings.
When the newspapers announce the
death OF man or woman aged So, S8,
or 80, there will generally be found ap-
pended, Funeral, 4th day. Wednes-
day, ,]-showing that the person was
Quaker. We believe that the average
age of persons Quaker born will range
ten, if not fifteen, years higher than
that of other people. There are proba-
bly, hundred reasons why this is the
case, partly hereditary and practical.
They are born of parents who have for
ages been temperate, calm, religious,
moral, prudent, frugal, and regular in
their habits. They have been taught
to control their passions, and live even,
upright, consistent lives. Their children
of the present generation have been
porn OF such parents and reared in such
habits, and they live to be remarkably
old. Occasionally persons not of that
order of people, either in religious be.
lief or in daily life,-men who live
wrongly and rashly, will hold on to be
old; but where one has constitution
enough to endure all manner of abuses
and live to old age, nine hundred and
ninety nine will fall befoae the age of
fifty. If there is an argument in favor
OF sobriety, regularity, order, and qui
etness of life stronger than that exem-
pilfied by the daily life of the Quakers,
we would like to hear it. Phrenolog.
