Correspondent Philadelphia has a population of nine hundred thousand, and when considering the amount of ground it occupies (the whole of Philadel phia county) it is the largest city in the United States; also in the opin ion of your correspondent, the healthiest, neatest and most niajr nificent. The facilities for sight seeing and amusement aiforded vis itors and citizens could hardly be excelled. At Fairmount Park is a largo tower, and by the aid of an elevator you are drawn to the top, when by looking through a large telescope which is stationary at the top, surrounded by a large platform, the whole of the city, the Delaware river and Camden, N. J., are broughtf within range of the vision. The park coulains sixty acres of ground with the Catskill river rtintiintr - " . through it, affording delightful pleasure boat-riding aud excursions in the summer time, and a splendid 6kating rink in the winter. Northwest of the park boundary are the immense Centennial build ings. A photogtaph of thi'se build ings can convey but faint idea of "o" ...... Vlltuj UUl Jilllll IUUU OII the magnificence of these buildings. Tho main building encloses twenty one acres of grouud, and with its! exhibits in tho departments of Sci ence, Art, Education, Agriculture, Mechanics, it is a permanent inter national exhibition.

I have also been iu the "European Museum of Mjttery, Hidden Won ders of the World and Beauties of Nature. No person visiting the city should fail to spend a portion of their time in this magnificent building or temple. Ordinal? plac es of amusement afford but a tem porary enjoyment, but the impress ions produced iu the museum are lasting, and are as interesting as they are instructive. Lessons are here conveyed to the mind that caunot be easily obliterated. Here you will find food for future study aud reflection. On December the 5th, at the wbarf of Cramp & Sons, the great iron ship, "California," was launch ed. This structure is three hundred and twenty feet long, width, thirty seven feet; depth, twenty-six feet, and all built of five-eighths iron the most durable and costly packet ever built ; it has the capacity for accommodating two hundred and fifty first-cla.s passengers, and also room for a regiment of soldiers. It is owned and was built by the Pa cific Coast Steam Navigation Com pany. The ship was launched by one signal, aud when all was in readiness, hundreds of hammers made Eimnltancous blows on the wedges, and the ship darted off like an arrow, running over a half mile ou tho river. It took two tugs to draw her into the secoud wharf, where It will be finished. At the wharf, to wituess the launching, wcrft over-a thousand people, some thing over three huudred being iu the boat when it went its coureo into the river. At the same wharf, this summer, einco May, have been launched three Russian war ships, named respectively, Enrope, Asia aud Africa, each boat being three hundred and ten feet lontr, built of half-inch iron. The city has five thousand woolen mills, manufacturing fancy dry goods and silks of all grades, al though some of the mills arc not running. Times are moderate; wages cut down to a scautj' living for a labor er, but starvation need not befall any one willing to work. Lewis Fkeiday. Aphorisms from Rothe. translated by c. c. s. No one is ennobled without suffer ing. Longing for happiness is not self love. Nothing is elevated which is not elevatinjr. From genuine earnestness cheerA fulness is inseparable. There are men, who have their youth in their old age. If any one has not an organ for this or that, why not let it alone? r Tho most abstract conception of Life is: .Relation of Being to Itself. means all built just so many stories high. It is not so much matter about the Platform, as the Man that stands on it. There arc situations in which Res ignation is manifestly only possible in God. lie is a Max who has convictions and stands ready to give account of them. What others call their Yoke, we Christians, more nobly, name our " Cross." He that is ripened by experience looks forward in this life to no un troubled joy. In Old Age mau finds all his earthly possessions crumbling, aud his system too. God does not require of every one, that he should have a capacity for everything. To be able to work with a light heart, must be too sweet for us to be able to bear. God cannot bestow on His own a higher nobility, than wheu he de crees sufferings for them. The consciousness of the individ- ual 3 tnc sounding-board of the world that surrouuds him Is one is, so does he know things. They reflect themselves according to the nature; of the mirror. It is nevertheless a grace, to be come old. There is much, which is first experienced in old age. Life (and every calling in life) is noble aud beautiful, if it is only lived in a manner worthy of man, - To "ftliigli thoughts of his work, and humble thoughts of his achieve ments in it, makes the man of abil ity. o have no private affairs, must be a great happiness. In this re spect the monastic orders arc to be envied. JTIiis is one beatify of Old Age, that it mav be allowed, without ' . ' cowardice and without affectation, to take hindmost place. There are men, who, after having in youth enjoyed the blessedness of delight, come, in age, to enjoy also the blessedness of suffering. There is no unendurable pain : if it becomes actually unendurable, it breaks the heart, whether physic ally or morally. As long as it is felt, it may be borne. It is a sweet feeling, when we have done with our own life, to look back upon it as upon a work of wise and holy grace, in the midst of the tumult of our own sin and folly. The unconsummatc creaturely spirit can, so soon as it is unclothed from the body, not exist in our present sphere of existeuce; it must, ou account of its embryonic condi tion, be placed under the conditions of an embryonic existence. These, as a system, constitute Hades, or Death. With the consummation of the earthly world-sphere this Hades, which is an organism of means of an activity of God directed solely to maintaiuing the creature in being, is annihilated. Rev. xx, xiv. Continued. ScirECcliancc. Although none dispute the value of fcelf-reliance, nor in fact, its indis pcnsability to success, yet it is one of those strange and anomalous virtues which boys are exhorted to cultivate and girls are admonished to shun. The statement, if not made in so many words, practically amounts to this : Boys, learn to de pend upon yourselves. No success or honor is attainable without it. Girls, be content all your lives to depend upon others. Be parasites, uon-cntities be anything, iu fact, but self-reliant individuals. Iu the common acceptance of the term, after you have called a man a parasite, you can defame him no farther. The success of an individ ual in lire is largely owing to ability, natural or acquired, to rely upon his own resources. That the young meu of the rising generation are many of them lacking in this essen tial element is not perhaps to be wondered at when we consider that they were born of mothers whol have all their lives been taught to regard self-reliance as something to be ashamed of in themselves. A sprightly young miss who at tended the Sunday School Concert at one of our city churches, last Sun day, told how eloquently and earn estly one speaker exhorted the boys to good aud noble works, remind ing them that in their hands alone would fall the destinies of the coun try; urging them to be honest, upright, industrious, &c. ; then turning to the girls, he said, in a bland, patronizing way : "And you girls must grow up to be wives for these coming men." Of course the average school-girl of ten years of age would immedi ately ask herself, "If I must speud all the years till I am growu, pre paring myself for a wife, hadn't some boy better be told to fit himself for a husband, so that I may not have to waste my virtues and accom plishments upon somebody who neither appreciates no is worthy of them?" When will teachers and preachers aud people generally take a common sense view of this matter and encourage girls to good works,not in the hope of catching a husband, but because they, as well as boys, have a grand and noble part to play iu the drama of life, one act of which may not be matrimony? The New North West. Good company and good conver sation arc the very sinews of virtue. Good character is above all things else. A man's own good breeding is the best security against other peo ple's ill manners. There is no such thing as an easy chair for a discontented man. f. re S.S $- C?2 & O " -eh- w 12 H xn S3 o 15 w p W - s c in W S I Y -g H 3 O $ SS & u" 3 3 . -J s .1 o Q O td cl H O 3 FOR SALE.
