an account Of an incident in Brooklyn

lecturing, which serves to illustrate his
ability to hold the attention OF his audi

only by the smothered gasps of small

Lobo the king wolf of the CurrumpaW

There was not quite eight hundred OF

NEW Works. GROWTH.

The City Has Never Halted Since 1t Was
First Fairly Started.
Ernest Ingersoll writes paper on the
Greater New York, entitled Reasoning
Out a Metropolis. - for ST. Nicholas.
Mr.. Ingersoll says:
The people of New York, Brooklyn,
Staten Island and certain nearby north
ern towns resolved to join themselves
together into one city, which is now the
Greater New York. 1t embraces 34I
square miles of territory and includes a
population of nearly 3, 400, 600.
Besides these at least another million
dwell on ne New Jersey side of the
Hudson river, quite as near and as
closely identified with the great city on
Manhattan Island as are those of the
northern and eastern suburbs. This
makes population of nearly 1, 500, 900
which may be said to belong to New
York, making it not only by far the
largest center of human life and inter
ests III America, but excepting only
London, the most populous spot on the
globe.
How has it happened that this vast
city has grown up where it stands?
Why did not the American metropolis
arise somewhere else? Is its position all
an accident, or does history show sound
reasons for its situation? The earliest
settlement here was merely trading
station that gradually became IA small
seaport, like Il dozen others along the
coast. Before the year 100 these were
so nearly alike that he would have been
wise prophet who truly foretold which
would thrive. Indeed many men of that
day firmly believed that Newport and
Annapolis were to be the two great
American seaports.
Great cities arise at the points where
the greatest number of people find it
convenient to meet at first for business
and later for pleasure. You cannot force
n city to grow III an unnatural or insult
able situation, and it is no easier to pre-
vent city from growing III its proper
place. But the conditions that change a
village into a big town and expand the
town into n city or metropolis are not
the same in different parts of the globe
and vary with the march of the CEN
turtles; so that now many an ancient
world market, like Nineveh or Mem
phis, has totally disappeared, while
towns like Berlin have lately increased
with amazing rapidity, after long his
tory as small and insignificant places.
AS for New York, it has never halted
or gone backward for a moment since
it was fairly started on its career in

NIGHT.

The sun has vanished ont of my sight,
And the moments sadly roll,
For my heart is dark with the thought Of
night,
And the night is in my soul.
The day is set and never will rise,
And my heart is sick and sore,
For the sweet, sweet light Of my true loves
eyes
Will shine for me no more
My very sleep of rest is shorn,
am full of pain and care
Sick with the thought of what have borne
And of what is left TO bear.
see the rose with bushes fired,
hear the brook run by,
But am tired, so sick and tired,
1 almost long to die.
For know the sun will dry the stream,
And the fiow'ret fade IN the frost,
And know that my dream is all a dream
And the charm of the dream is lost
There will never, never be any moro light,
For my hoe I'D / must part,
And my soJ! II dark with the thought of night,
And the night is in my heart.
