It Has Just Passed It's First Christmas

II is not usual in this age, at least in
America, 10 spend many years in the con.
struction Of any building. While in the
old world centuries have passed between
the beginning and completion Of some of
tho great cathedrals, theto Is but one
modern church In America so large as
to have required long time for its con-
struction. This is St. Patrick's Roman
Catholic cathedral at New York.
On the 10Th Of August, 1853, there was
a coucourse Of people gathered about the
block bounded by Fifth avenue, Madison
avenue, Fiftieth and Fif.y-hrst streets.
New York. Archbishop Hughes. then
the eminent head of tho Roman church
for the diocese of New York, in presence
of &c., 600 people, amid great pomp and
ceremony, laid the foundation Of tho
new cathedral, which WIS 10 be the most
imposing Of aug in the United States.
Thirty years have elapsed since that
gathering dispersed. The bishop who
presided at the ceremony has gone 10 bis
rest. But slowly year after year the
foundations took shape, then, after q
period Of cessation, the walls began 10

years, until the main portion of tho work

ST. PATRIcK's CATHEDRAL.

these towers have been finished, and the
building stands forth q massive white
structure Of great architectural beauty.
st. Patrick's Is not only tho largest
church in the United States, but Is
among the largest In the world. Its
length, in It's interior, measures aO0 feet.
It's interior breadth 90 feet, exclusive oil
the chapels between the butresses,
which make the total width 100 feet.
It's height il 1903 feet. Its spires shoot
up into the heavens O distance Of $50
feet. In architectural effect, especially
In its two towers, It bears some resem-
blance to the great cathedral at Cologne
The material used in the construction
Is, for tho basement, granite; above this,
white marble from quarrles In Berkshire
county, Massachusetts,. The architect
intended that the building should be I'm
ished TO its highest point IN this marble,
bur haste and economy brought about
tho substitution of artificial stone in the
upper halls, and plaster in the vaulted
ceiling and In the capital OF the great
spires.
The use Of this material is not plain to
the eye, but it renders the cathedral less
fro proof. The height Of the building
doesn't appear to 10 as great as that OF
similar cathedrals abroad, but this Is
partly on account Of the height OF the
buildings surrounding tho New York
structure, while churches abroad are
usually only put Ii comparison with
dumpy little buildings few stories high
There is something sad in the remem-
brance that so many who took an inter-
est in the inception Of the plan Of build
ing this great structure, and who were
present at the laying Of tho corner store
should have passed away before its COM
pletion. Thirty years brings mary
Changes; il is nearly the average dura-
ton Of o generation; but when one COM
pares the tino spent in the construction

in Rome, which was net dedi-
Gated till l1j years after il was
begun, was three hundred and fifty years

cupied the attention Of forty-three popes.
thirty years seems u short time. Tho
cathedral at Cologne was six Hundred
years in building, and when finished IL
was discovered that the foundations Of
the towers were 'cruinbllng. Tho e-ec-
ton of st. Patricks in New York is d
fine illustration OF The rapid spirit Of the
present age.

Our Postal Svste,,.

Ii there is any point on which our postal
system does not stand in need of improve
inent it is in tho chcapncss Of postage Our
newspapers are carried within the county of
their publication for nothing, and every
whcrc clso for next to nothing, and a letter
of an ounce weight is transported from any
point to any other of our enormous area of
100000 square miles for the smallest unit of
letter postage known in Chrstcndom. But q
far moro important matter, and ono wholly
neglected, is that Of postal delivery. In other
civilized countries tho postofIcc, receiving u
letter from tho writer, undertakes to deliver
it to theperson addressed.
In our own happy land tho postofIicc re-
ccivcs tho letter, and Except in tho case Of u
privileged go per cent. of tho people, UNDER
takes to carry it to within fivo or ten miles of
tho person addressed, and keep it there till
called for. This is tho mere barbarism of
postal service, worthy Of tho dark ages before
Rowland Hill. The enormous cost and loss
which it involves become obvious to any one,
on q few minutes reflection For example:
A man living three miles from the postolIico
is anXiously expecting {; letter Of great i'm
portancc, which may arrive any tilno within
Il fortnight He goes daily to look for it, and
on the sixth day he gets it, That letter cost
him twelve hours Of walking, or six hours Of
travel for himself and horse. In other words,
tho postage on that letter has been virtually
SOP, or more. Tho government does not get
tho money, but the citizen loses it.-Dr. Bacon
