WHAT GIVES ATTRACTIvENEss 10 A

The man of business, or the mere utilltarian,
vhen asked to give his time or money to any
public obiect-to beautifying city, or building
a hotel, or establishing a library, or endowing
first class college or literary institution; is very
apt to ask, "wilit pay :"
And the answer, as every sensible and think
ing man will see, is, ''yes, it will and does pay"
pecuniarily, as we'll as in other and most import"
ant ways Like the outlay Of the merchant to
obtain a good location, and have first class
store. to make an attractive display Of his goods
and to call attention to them by liberal adverti-
sing, all Of which pays, so it is with all that i'm
proves a city, and makes it attractive as resi-
dence ard inviting to strangers.
The beautiful elms Of New Haven and the ad-
vsntages Afforded by Yale College for thorough
education Of young men, have brought to that
CITY, az permanent residents, hundreds OF fami-
lies of cultivation and property, thus elevating
the tone Of social life, and pouring wealth into
every channel Of business, and so ssteadily in
creasing the prosperity and growth of the city,
to the benefit OF all its inhabitants. And Nassar
College at Poughkeepsie, is doing the same work
for that attractive and growing place. There is
not city in the land, where il the people are
but full ofpublic spuit, and give strong help
ing hand to all that may make the place attrac-
tive, it is not found "to pay" in the steady and
healthful growth and prosperity that are sure t,
follow.
What is itthat has given, and is giving Wi
mingtOn its rapid growth, and makes it SO at
tractive to strangers Not merely its location
which can scnIeeAs 20 ruIp~AaAd but its churches
its schools, its railroads, its library, It's baAutifu
Masonic Temple and now its notable Hotel, Il
CLAYTON House, And now let our citizer
give all needed and liberal aid toward our pr
posed Female College, and see that it is indeed
First Glass Institution of its kind, and it will
another and most important step in advancir
the attractivenes Of our city, not only beneitir
those who are here, but drawing to us, as perm

Bishop Scott who Is so well known. and SO
much beloved by the people OF your CITY, anu ~
: the whole church, took occasion to remark that
AZ years ago, thia apring he was received
into the Philadelphia Conference and received

: from home and his kind reception by tine peo
pie. and remarked that most wonderful change
have taken place since that time, here ant
throughout the whole church. His wildes
imaginAtions never toook in the work OF blshol
as laying before him, and yet the Providence
God had led him TO it. and had always SUSTAINED
4 him in it, He had never strong Constitution

THE New York Tribune believes in the
project of keeping the Eric Canal open
throughout the winter by means Of steam
pipes along its banks. 1t says: eff any
one doubts the feasibility Of it, let him take
a tea-kcttle of water and build fire under
it. It will Ike found that the fire keeps the
water warm, and that while in that cOndi-
ton it cannot freeze. If this he true in
the case Of the tea-kettle, why not in the
case Of the canal? Then think ofthe amel-
iorations of hot water. With soap how
cfIicacious upon the beaming countenancc
Of the mule-driver! To the l.undress Of
the gondola what a blessing ; to the cook in
the caboosc what a boon! How easy to
drop into the bubbling bosom of the deep,
in the simplicity Of a busl,el basket, the
tcar-compelling onion, the bursting tuber
and the higl-toned cabbage, and after tow
ing them q suitable time in the tepid waters
Of the great commercial artery, to rescue
them all ready for the table, boiled at the
expense Of the nation, and for the hardy
mariners who drive the boisterous mule or
plough the boiling seas
