Loitering in PhiladelpMa-The Beautifol

Park, Etc.
Just two hundred years ago the
jreat and good William Penn landed
nr the-deeee-woods on the Schuylkill^
River and laid the plans for a great
iity. The street* were marked ont
brough the forest, running at right
ugles to each other, and gradually
here sprang up out of the density of
he wild woods, the city of brotherly
ore. It has always enjoyed a pros>erotx8
growth, and is to-day second
n wealth and popnlation to any in
he United States.
The stranger, as be loiters in Phildelphia,
will find many things to
nterest him, in things both old and
ew. I have getae with the reader of
be Dispatch, in a former letter,
hroogh the interesting chambers of
Id Independence Hall, and if he is
rilling will now turn our*atteotion to
ight seeing in Gev western part of
secity. Going dawn Gerard Aveae
we pass the coltbge by4hat name,
at will return to it afterwards. Be>re
as lies the beaatifal Schuylkill?
>r its scenery and varied landscape
iews, one of the prettiest rivers in
merica. It waters many a fertile
illev, passes many a homestead, and
dws by many a bappy and prosper38
village. And here it comes by
je great city with its stream of fresh
whcflesome water to slake the
hmt of the tboasaods of citizens, to
ear V> the sea on its bosom the ships
hat baltfe ttre g^leT and to make a
ookand pleasant retreat for the 1
reaiy in, splendid parks which :
trelch qiit along its coorse.
We cpss on the strong bridge that 1
pros Pe stream at the foot of the 1

are kept. Animals from eleated
Asiatic couutries occapy the
adding near these lakes, notably
moDg them the yak, which has been

feet above the level of the sea.

?hich are kept several large and

Bat we cannot tarry longer in this j
wonderful garden, full of the many I
pretty animals of creation. If we are
tired we can enter the large refreshment
bonse that stands in the midst
of the garden, and, like Adam of old,
partake of socb forbidden thing as a
glass of cool beer, or sit on the porch
and smoke oar cigars together.
Leaving the gate of the "Zoo" Garden
we cross the wide Avenue and
enter the welcome shade of Fairmount
Park. This beautiful retreat,
rural in aspect, y?fL lying iso near a
great, busy city, is bf priceless benefit
to the people of Philadelphia, and
especially to the poor. There are
thousands, who are not able to leave
the city in the heated season, who
have the time but not the means, and
were it not for a pleasant spot like
Fairmonnt their lot in snmmer wonld
be a drearj one indeed. But with
tins shady nook so near, they can
steal away from the noise and dost
of the cit/, from fts angry and maddening
rash of basiness activity, and
find in so qaiet a retreat the solitade
and seclusion they so much desire.
Here the grass grows green ou?
every bank; here are glimpses of
summer landscape, with river and
bills to make them still more lovely;
here the voice of the wind in the tree
L ' . 1
tops speak of a groat and good spirit;
and here the birds sing just as sweetly
as they do in the distant country <
places. Ah! sweet m/stkitbe to the
weary denizen of the close -office or
sale-room to find repose beneath
those spreading oaks, to feel .the
tonch of Nature's breath in the cool
breeze, to lie npon the grassy sod and
watch the phantom-like clouds playing
in the summer sky.
But see, the suDh'gbt has left the
river's bosom, the great heart of thej s
city throbs more calmly, and twi-j '
light is creeping along the val]e/>

Hope for suffering woman. Some- ?
thing new under the snn. By rea- c
son of her peculiar relations, and her 1
peculiar ailments, woman has been *
compelled to suffer, not only her own c
ills, but those arising from the want *
of knowledge, or consideration on the 1
part of those with whom she stands 1
connected in the social organization. 3
The frequent and distressing irregu- '
' tn hur ?bi have thus *
mruies pc^mim w
been aggravated to a degree which *
no language can express. In the f
mansions of. the rich and the hovel of
the poor alike, woman has been the
victim of ills unknowi to man, and !
which uone but she-could ondnre? i
aud without a remaly. But now the I
hour of her redenption has como. <
She need not suffer longer, when she i
can find relief in. Dr. J. Bradfield's

Well, here we have it again! Th

For what pnrpoflfe? They answer tjie
question by telliDg us that it & to
give the people longer terms of school.

be longer, but that, doubttess.'-^hej

The Sad Boy's Picnic.
*1 ?
HE MISCHIEVOUSLY PBOFITS BY THE PRE"
CEPTS OF HIS PiSTOR. ?
'Say, yoa think of about everything
mean there is going, don't yon ?" said
the grocery man to the bad boy, as he
came in to show that his black eye
had been cored. "The minister ex- ^
claimed to me yesterday how yoa *
caused him and your father to lay and
soak in the water for about three
hours, one hot day last Summer, ia
the lake, and they both blistered
their backs. The minister says the^
skin has not stopped peeling off his
shoulders yet. What caused yop 'to
play such a mean trick on them ?*
"Oh, it was their own fault," said
the boy as he looked with disdain on
a watermelon that was out of season,
and bad no charms in October. "Yoa
ma the niffht the sociable was at oar
?> a
honse, the minister and some of the
deacons were tip in my room, which
, they used that night for a smoking
. room, and while they were smoking
, they were telling stories abonfc what
^ fan they had when they were boys,
and I remember one story the minis'
ter told abont finding some girls in
awimming once, and stealing their
clothes, and making them wait till
night, and then a girl had t^fix
herself np with newspapers aid go _
home and send a wagon after the rest * jflB

I it was for the minister, when be was
a good little boy, to steal the clothes

. and didn't hear them when they hoilered
to me to go away, and after a
I while they got water soaked and had
i to do something, so the minister broke
i off a piece of a tree and dressed himself
in it, and came np to me and said,
'Madam, excuse me for troubling you
bat if yon will go away while I get
my clothes I will take it as a faror.'
I pretended to be insulted, and got
np and walked off very indignant,
and went back to the picnic and
returned the clothes, and pretty soon ,
they came np, looking as red as if
they had been drinking, and the picnic
was ready to go home. Somebody
told pa it was me, bnt I don't
know who it was that gave it away.
Anyway, he chased me clear out ol
the woods with a piece of saplin. That
was the first time I told you I was
too tired to ride, and walked home
from the picnic. Pa has forgiven me, ^
bat I don't believe the minister ever
will. Don't yoa think some of these
pioas folks are awfnl unforgiving?"
"Oh, people are not all as good as
yon and I are," said the grocery man
I as ho watched the boy making a sneak
on a bunch of grapes.

A Pabtially Dead Man.?The Boston,
Md., Morning Herald states:
Maj. B. S. White, of this city, describes
his miraculous cure as follows:
"I have been a partially dead
man for ten years. Doctors attributed
my sufferings to the enlargement
of certain glands. The qaantity
of medicine I took without relief
would be sufficient to set up a firstclass
apothecary shop. Finally St.
Jacob's Oil was recommended. I
