New Yorix's PinnacIed Sky Line.

The sky line of New York is changing so
rapidly that the American traveller who
goes abroad can recognize with more Ger
tainty the profles Of the foreign cities he
approaches than that Of his own metrop-
oils as he sees it from the deck of the
steamer ON his return. 1t may be his first
visit TO Europe. He may know London,
Rome and Paris only from views of them
in old prints, but If he has an eye for
such things his first glimpse Of st. Paul's,
St Peters or Notre Dame will tell him to
what place he is coming, for all the world
knows these pinnacles, has known them
for centuries. They are as conspicuous
and characteristic in the silhouettes Of
their cities as they were when they were
built.
One of the Dutch governors Of New
Amsterdam, seeking in spirit some ia
miliar earthly habitatiOn, might find old
Amsterdam, for it cuts the same figure In
the sky today that it did when no left It,,
but the last dead boss of New York, if by
any chance he should get away from where
he ought to be, would search the horizon
in vain for the face Of his city. The fea-
lures his eye would seek are there Old
Trinity still stands, its steeple, like the
spires of the old cathedrals, uplifted high
above the EARTH but its solitary promi-
hence is gone The modern office building
has risen higher than the head of the cross,
and the church has lost its distinction.
The enterprise of business has surpassed
the aspiration of religion.--J. Lincoln
Steffens in Scribner's.
