New York IN 1S25.-The population
of New York fifty years ago was about
$50, 0,000-hardly more than quarter Of
the present population Of Chicago, which
then had 40 existence except as an Indian
post. Brooklyn was then struggling
village Of 1000 inhabitants and there was
but one steam ferry boat on the East
river. People who wanted to cross the
river then after o'clock in the evening
had to pay the boatman twenty-five cents
to row them over. The largest ship then
sailing from the port did not exceed 500
tons burden, postage on single letter sheet
to Boston WAS eighteen and three-quarter
cents and for double sheet, double that
amount. There were no envelopes in
those good old days, for those aids TO cor
respondence had not been invented -
Mucilage was unknown aud it was con-
sidered disrcspcctful not to seal letter
with great lump Of red wax. There
were no omnibuses. nor street railways
nor any other conveyances except two
horse hackney coaches which cost small
fortune to ride in.

MARVELLOUS STRENGTH.

Thomas Topham, born in London
about about ITO, and brought up to the
trade of a carpenter, though by no means
remarkable in size or outward appear
ance, was endowed by nature with extra
ordinary muscular powers, and for sew
eral years exhibited wonderful teats Of
strength in London and the Provinces
The most authentic account of his per-
fornances was written by the celebrated
William Hutton, who witnessed thom at
Derby. We learned, says Mr., Hutton,
that Thomas Topham, a man who kept a
public house at lslington, performed sur
prsing tcats of strength, such 'as break.

BEAUTIFUL FIGURE.-Two painters
were employed to fresco the walls of a
magnificent cathedral both stood upon a
rude scatlolding constructed for the pur-
pose, some eighty feet from the floor.
One Of them was SO intent upon his work
that he became absorbed ana in admira-
tion stood off from the picture, gazing at
it with delight. Forgetting where he
was he moved backward slowly, survey
ing critically the works Of his pencil, till
he had neared the end of the plank upon
his companion suddenly turned, and, al
most frozen with horror, bchcld his i'm
mnent peril another instant and the en-
thusiast would be precipitnted upon the
pavement beneath. If he spoke to him it
was certain death. If he held his peace,
death was equally sure. Suddenly he re-
gained his presence of mind and selling a
wet brush, flung it against the wall, spat-
tering the beautiful picture with insight
ly blotchcs Of coloring. The painter few
forward and turned with fierce impreca-
tions upon his friend; but startled at his
ghastly face, he listened TO the recital OF
danger, looked quickly over the dread
space be.ow, and with tears of gratitude
blessed the hand that saved him. So we
sometimes got absorbed in looking at the
pictures Of this world, and in contemplate
ing them, step backward without seeing
our peril, when the Almighty dashes out
the beautiful images, and we spring for
ward to lament their destruction-intl
