against this pride Of city, nor expect to
build up ourselves BY pulling others down.
Let Boston have its commons. its Faneuil

catonal institutions. Let philadelDhia

THE GREAT CITY oy NEW YORK.
II infancy the great metropolis was laid
down by the baaks OF tue Hudson. Its IN
fancy was as feeble as that of Moses sleep
ing IN the bGlrushes by the Nile: and Ike
Miriam, there our fathers stood and watch
Cd IT, The royal spirit of American COM
merce came down TO the water to bathe,
and there she found it. She took it in her
arms. and tee child grew and waxed strong,
and the ships CT foreign lands brought gold
and spices 10 its feet, and stretching itself
up into the proportions OF metropolis, il
has looked up TO the mountains and off
upon the seattle mightiest os the energies
OF American civilization. The character
OF the founder of city will be seen for
mSuy years in its inhabitants. Romalus
im pressed his life upon Rome. The PHI
grims relaxed not their hold upon the
cities of New England. William Penn has
left Philadelphia an Inheritance OF iaseg-
rity and fair dealing and on any day in
that city you may see in the manners, Gus
toms and principles Of its people his tastes,
his coat, his hat, his wiie's bonnet and bis
plain meeting house The Hollanders still
WELD an influence over New York.
