PHILADELPHIA TRADE-The amount of
business done by produce commission
merchants in Philadelphia, would hardly
be credited by those who do not particu-
larly have their attention called to the fact
A walk through the principal thorough
fares of that city where these men most
do congregate will convince the observer
not only of the extent of the trade but of
the care required to bring good results to
shippers. Quick sales and prompt returns
are indeed the watchwOrd's S with these ac
tive and enterprising merchants, and. of
course it is very desirable to send goods
only to such men as combine activity with
good Judgment and integrity This last
requisite is especially necessary since ship
pers are so much at the mercy Of their
merchants, owing to their distance from
them, that unfair advantages could easily
be taken and remain undiscovered. In

the apprehension OF the neighboring cities
and in no business is the increase more

then she would come in and lick my
hand to remind me of the fact. She
always led the chase, and took more

In answer to Moses prayer means
OF cure was provided for such deadly
indictions. The evil was not removed
the serpents were permitted to live and
bite the people of Israel; but a simple
mode of cure was made available. A
brazen serpent was lifted upon a pole in

The Real and IDEAL

What wide difference there is be
tween the dreams we dream and the
lives we live. There are very few
beings who can recall the hopes and
expectations of their youth and say
with a satisfied soul that that they all
came true
Real life and dream life are as differ
ent fiom each other as earth and air
One is OF common, worldly things; the
other of improbabilities. Our happies:
hours are spent in dreaming dreams
What bright web of fancies men
weave about them with the aid of a
lively Imagination. There are forms
and faces poet might delight in, but
they fade as the leaves fade in the fall,
and that is so sad TO think of
Thu lover creates about his heart
idol an atmosphere of the most bewil-
dering and beautiful character. He
clothes her with every attribute of
feminine loneliness; he adorns her with
every grace and perfect quality Of heart
and soul To him there are but two
places in the wide world; one where
she is, and one where she is not
1t seems a pity to destroy so fair a
picture, but realities come crowding in
upon his mind, at last he finds he
cannot live upon air alone, but that
bread, butter and beef are very essen
tial to human happiness. He discovers
that his idol is fallible, and his wild
romantic alteration becomes toned
down to manly respect.
Dream life is delightful while it lasts
but it is as feeting IN its character as
human happiness. It is sad sight in
maturer years to contemplate ones in
amorata as she busies herself about her
domestic duties in faded calico dress,
with tangled hair and shoes sadly down
at the heel =

perform In an opera, the one knight
and the other disguised as bear, VITA
whom the knight was to combat.
Everything went off very we'll; they
fought, the bear as was fitting, WIS
vanquished, aud lay motiopless on the
ground But while the very fine la"
strumental music was celebrating this
cbivalrous action, and attracted for
few moments the attention of tbs
audience, the victorious knight thought
it pity not to embrace this opportu-
nifty, and therefore struck his fallen atl-
versary several times with the fiat side
of his sword. The bear bore it very
patiently for some time; but when he
found it going too far, he suddcny
sprang up, seized the knight, end
treated him SO roughly that he fell
down half dead with fear AT this in
slant it was the turn of orchestra to be
silent, and the knight was to sing
bravura in honor of the conque.t.
Everything was silent, the circnlFl-
stance had not been noticed in the Or
chestra, the prompter gave the signal,
but, as the knight was quite unable ~
sing, the BEAR an equally good singer,
without much ceremony, seated himself
on the fallen knight and with loud
voice sang the air, to the no small en-
tertainment of the audience.
