As the surging crowd go to and rro 'Tis a pleasant sight, I ween, To mark the figures that come and go In the ever-cnanging scene. Here the publican walks with the sinner proud, And the priest in his gloomy cowl, And Dives walks in the motley crowd With Lazarus, cheek by jowl, And the daughter of toil with a fresh young heart, As pure as the spotless frame, Keeps step with the woman who makes her mart Iu the haunts of sin and shame. How lightly trips the country lass iKn /ilfvr'a ilia I 1U liUO Uliuob VI IUO ViVJ O itio 4 As fresh and pure as the daisied grass That grows on her native hills. Ami the beggar, too, with his hungry eye, And his lean, wan faee and crutch, Giwes a blessing the same to the passer-by, As he gives him little or much. When time has beaten the world's tattoo, And in dusky armor night Is treading with echoless footsteps through The gloom of tbe silent night, How many of these shall be daintily fed And shall sink to slumbers sweet, While many will goto a sleepless bed And never a crumb to eat! Ah ! me, when the hours go joyfully by, How little we stop to heed Our brothers' and sisters' despairing cry In -their woe and their bitter need ! Yet such a world as the angels sought This world of ours we'd call, If the brotherly love that the Father taught Was felt by each for all. Yet a few short years and this motley throng Will all have passed away, And the rich and the poor, the old and the young Will be undistinguished clav, And lips that laugh and lips that moan Shall in silence alike be sealed, And some will lie under a stately stone And some in the Potter's Field ! But thesun will be shining just as bright, And so will the silver moon, And just such a crowd will be here at night, And just such a crowd at noon. Ana men win oe wickuu uuu wuuiou mu mu, As over since Adam's fall, With the same old world to labor in, And the same God over all. iiumowus fjrpartmrnt. Couldn't Help Her.?The gatee at the passenger depot which shut out all people not having tickets for the trains, were yesterday closed at the Uuion depot against an elderly woman wearing spectacles and using an umbrella for a cane. "Can't pass without a ticket," said the man at the gate as she came up. "I want to see if there is anybody on that train going to Port Huron," she answered. "Can't pass without a ticket, madam." ' "I've got a darter in Port Huron, I have?" "Can't help it, please. My orders are very strict.' "I tell you I want to send word to my darter!" she exclaimed, adjusting her spectacles for a better view of the official. "Yes, but we can't help that," you see. "Please show your ticket." "I want this 'ere railroad to understand that I've got a darter in Port Huron, and she's got a baby four weeks old, and I'm gding to send her word in spite of all the gates in this depot 1" "Please show your ticket, madam." She gave the old umbrella a whirl and brought it down on his head with all the vim of an old-fashioned log raising, and as he staggered aside she passed him and said: "There's my ticket, sir, and I've got more behind it! Mebhe one man and a gate can stop me from sending word to my darter to grease the baby's nose with mutton taller if the weather changes cold, but I don't believe it!" And she walked down to the train, found some one going to Port Huron, and came back humming the melody of "The Three Blind Mice."?Free Press. What Shall I Say Unfortunately for the Sunday-school, there are a number of middle-aged gentlemen who, thinking themselves endowed by nature with oratorical ability, visit Sunday-schools' to display their Bpeech-making qualities. These gentlemen are very properly termed Sunday-school bores, for they bore the children, bore the superintendent, bore the teachers, and bore every person with whom they are thrown in contact. One of these gentry had a round of four or five schools which he visited regularly, and as regularly bored his bearers, ending invariably with Amen ! Visiting one of the schools during his regular rounds, he made his appearance at the superintendent's desk, who felt greatly annoyed, yet out of courtesy asked him if he desired to say a few words to the school. "Wa'al, yes, I'll say just a word or twol" and straightening himself up, with one hand on' the corner of the desk, and the other feeling for pins at the bottom of his vest, he began : "Wa'al, chil'un, the superintendent wants me to speak ta yerl" and feeling vigorously for pins, "Neow what shall I say? what shall I talk about ?" A bright little fellow about four years of age, sitting in the front seat, who evidently had heard the orator before, jumped to his feet and lisped out loud enough to be heard all over the school-room, "Thay 'Amen' and thit down !" The speaker collapsed. ^ "Sectarianism."?Two strangers, both under the influence of liquor, got into a quarrel on the street recently, and a policeman selected the one whom be thought was making 4-u^ maflf nnstirnt on/4 klm nff tkfi tllU UiUOb auu uiatvuvu aj?ui vu* amv prisoner was hardly locked up when his companion appeared at the station and inquired : "Did you just lock up a man with a double chin in this bastile ?" "I guess we did," was the captain's answer. "Well that man is a friend of mine. We were having a racket, and I was just as much to blame as be was. "Well, I can't help that." "Well, I can I I either want you to let him go or else lock me up too." "Very well?' said the man as he followed the officer, "if there's anything I hate it's sectarianism, and you can't play it on me while I know myself." He was placed in a cell, and he at once went to work to make himself at home. +. Not Flattering.?One of the least flattering tributes ever paid to a rising young artist has been paid to a Cincinnati dauber by a Western critic: "He possesses some merits as an artist, but it is hard to say whether it lies in landscape or marine painting; you never can tell his cows from bis ships, except when they have their tails exalted, when the absence of spars betray their character. Even then they may be mistaken for schooners scudding under bare poles." S&F A party of young fops were standing in front of an ancient saddler's shop kept by a Dutchman, and thinking to have some fun with our German friend, one of them onened the*door and addressed him : "I "I say, HanB, have you any saddles for jackasses?" Looking up from his work quite composedly, he replied : "Yaw, coom and dry von on." His Loss.?Coming back from a little trip to Havre, a Parisian thus bewailed his misfortune to a railway companion : "One thing is certain, you won't catch me on any more : of these excursions. I have lost my wife and ; my cane." And then he added, with tears ! in his eyes, "And it was a new cane, too 1" ftaj"' \ gentleman was promenading the, street with a bright little boy at his side, I when the little fellow cried out: "Oh! pa, there goes an editor 1" "Hush, hush 1" said the father, "don't make sport of the poor 1 man?God only knows what you may come to yet."

"Time works wonders" is a trite saying, but most appropriate to the great changes, improvements and progress of trade and commerce at the present time. A visit to the ocean steamers of the American and Red Star lines, running between this port and Liverpool and Antwerp, furnishes a most notable illustration. The exciting appearance and activity of officers, stevedores and laborers, transferring immense quantities of freight, ? ? 1??.J mHIa V\r? nr\r\ uta una grain, D&COD, IttrU, UWl, uatuc, wuai,W| OLU.1VU &c., shipped in through cars direct to the wharves, from Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Richmond and other western, southern and southwestern cities, is apt to daze and bewilder one unaccustomed to such sights. The enormous supplies of provisions now shipped to the other side of the water, in the expressive language Governor Hoyt of this state, relative to the farmers! marvelous exhibits of animals at the recent State Fair, "is startling, and teaches that the men who go around the country preaching classes and talking about capital and labor being two distinct classes, are mischief makers. The men who have shown the real destiny of the country are the farmers aud sterling business men. I reckon it to be a proud day for this country, and a settled fact in the providence of God, that America is to feed the universe." Some of the ablest minds are puzzled as to the effect of all this on politics and political parties. Buisness men and farmers are saying, "let us have no more bloody shirt," but a sound uniform currency for all the states, patriot* men of business brains, enerev, executive ability' and honesty to administer the government, and the country will take care ot itself. The American line of steamers, four in number, to wit: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, are the only American built steamers'that cross the Atlantic which fly the American flag and carry the United States mails. The agents are Messrs. Peter Wright & Sons, an extensive shipping firm of world wide reputation, over three score years identified with all the various mercantile interests of Philadelphia. The firm is now composed of James A. Wright, Clement A. Griscom and Frank L. Neale, the steamship department being under the special supervision of Mr. Griscora, a gentleman of rare executive ability and energy. The steamers were built in this city. They each have accommodations for one hundred firstclass cabin, and one thousand steerage passengers, besides officers' rooms fend quarters for the crew, who number from 95 to 100 for each vessel. Each steamer makes, on an average, a voyage every thirty days. But the special, and perhaps the most interesting feature, in addition to the splendid accommodations, order aud extreme cleanliness of the steamers, is the excellent table fare. The supplies, which are of the very best quality, are furnished in this city. The fresh beef, of which each steamer takes, for both the outward and return voyage, from ten to twelve thousand pounds, is all purchased at contract prices from Mr. L. S. Boraef, an extensive-wealthy, cattle dealer and large stockholder in the company. The cattle are fiom special breeds, raised in Chester and Delaware counties in this state. Not a single pound of beef is purchased in Liverpool. About twenty-two tons of ice are taken on board, and the beef and other meats packed in a large ice-house, are kept as fresh to and from Europe as when first slaughtered. Turkeys, geese, ducks, chickens, game and other supplies, such as vegetables, &c., are also purchased at wholesale contract prices, thus effecting for each steamer a large saving on each voyage. The Red Star.line comprises six steamers to-wit: Vaderland, Nederland, Switzerland, Zealand, Belgenland and Rhynland. These sail alternately from Philadelphia and New York to Antwerp. The two last named are new and the most magnificent ocean steamers afloat. They were built in England for the Red Star line, but for all practical purposes may be considered American, as at least twothirds of the stock is owned in Philadelphia. As your correspondent had the pleasure of a visit and inspection of the Belgenland, which sailed from here for Antwerp last Saturday, and believing it would interest your readers, I append a full description, which may be applied to her consort the Rhynland. The Belgenland is a four masted iron screw steamer, 416 feet long over all, 402 feet between perpendiculars, 40 feet from beam, and 32 feet 8 inches deep from the upper part of the keel to the upper deck bfeam amidships. She measures 3,700 tons, has a straight stemand elliptic stern, with turtle-backs forward and aft, and on the main deck are substantial iron houses, containing saloons, ladies rooms, smoking room, chart room, and the officers' and engineers' quarters, pantries, mess rooms, ice house, etc. A galley and appurton?n/>M fitted t.n r>nnk fnr 150 nahin naasen gers and 1,000 steerage passengers. The steamer is fitted with all the modern improvements for making the voyage comfortable to passengers, and also with all the modern improvements for navigating and handling the ship with safety. Not the least important is Mure and Caldwell's steam steering gear, by which a child in the wheel house can steer, in a heavy sea-way, this immense steamer, more quickly and certainly than eight men at the wheel could do it under the old fashioned way. The saloons, of which there are two, one forward and one aft, are on the main deck. The forward and principal one is located just forward of amidships, and the after one a little abaft amidships. The state-rooms are all in the centre of the ship and under the main deck. This arrangement, by which the staterooms and saloons are on separate decks, is a favored one by many sea-going passengers. It has the advantage of a saloon, from the windows of which passengers can observe all that transpires at sea and on deck, and the state-rooms being on another deck, give a privacy to them, which is greatly preferred by many passengers. The forward saloon is finished in polished paneling of satin wood and mahoeanv. The upholstering is of grained ! leather. The furnishing is most attractive and substantial. At one end is a beautiful piano, of the best English make, and on either side, a beautifully finished sideboard. Down the middle is an elaborate steam heater, the top of which serves for a table. At the other end of the saloon is a finely furnished library. The skylight is of handsomely polished teak wood, the fore and aft windows of which are [ ornamented with the coats of arras of the city | of Antwerp and the city of Philadelphia. The entrance to the main saloon is a marked feature of this steamer, being, by far, the most J spacious and well arranged staircase we have yet seen on shipboard. On top of the house, in which are the saloons as described, is a spacious hurricane ; deck, where saloon passengers can promenade without any interference from the crew, who j work the ship from the main deck below. ; On this hurricane deck is the wheel house, chart house, a luxuriously-furnished room for ladies, and a very comfortable smoking-room for gentlemen, with lavatory, &c. Over the forward end of this deck, and above the charthouse, is the bridge from which, as all travelers know, the ship is commanded at sea. Such is the elevation of the hurricane deck ! above the water line, that even in the worst of weather, it affords a comfortable place for promenading, which is not possible under the old plan of arranging passenger ships. The pantry and galley are large, spacious, and well ventilated, so arranged a3 to give no inconvenience to passengers from the smell of cooking, etc. In the pantry is a register, to ' which all the state rooms are connected .by electric bells, by which system a servant can be called at'all hours of the day or night. I, The state rooms are in the middle of the ship, where the least motion is felt at sea; \ they are all of the 6ame size, spacious, well-1 lighted and ventilated, and completely fur-' nished. Perfect ventilation in warm weather and in stormy weather, when it might be necessary to keep the companion-way door shut, is secured by means of a special engine, which drives a large blower, pipes from which pass into every state room, and the supply of fresh air is regulated according to the convenience of passengers, as you would turn off heated air in the registers of a house, using the improved modern heaters. About the deck and all the necessary places, the steamer is fitted with the latest improved machinery for handling anchors, warping the steamer in and out of docks, etc. Her engines are composed of about 2,200 indicated horse power; cylinders 50 inches and 90 inches, and length of stroke 4 feet 6 ? mi i? m a. 1 A n incnes. inree uouers, cuuuuuiug it urea, calculated to consume 45 to 48 tons of coal per day, producing an average speed at sea of 13 to 14 knots. The rates of fare by these steamers, are from 875 to 890 for first cabin, 860 for second cabin and 830 for steerage. Special excursion tickets for first cabin passage are also issued at 8150 for the round trip, the holders having the option of-returning by the American line from Liverpool or the Red Star line from Antwerp. To the excellent arrangements and untiring efforts for the comfort aucl saftey of travelers, is due the very succesful management, of Peter Wright & Sons, who during the past six years, notwithstanding the intense rivalry, strong opposition and competition of foreign lines, especially to the American line, have gained such high reputation and made their steamers so popular with the traveling puoiic. Owing to the vast amount of freight now being shipped, the agents contemplate some other very important changes and improvements, by which the four steamers of the American line will each gain an additional freight capacity of six hundred tons, or twenty-four hundred tons aggregate. The present cabin saloons and state rooms are to be removed and placed in an iron saloon ou deck, having all the latest improvements, conveniences and luxuries, in addition to the comforts of the original saloon and state rooms. The Red Star line steamship company, and International Steam Navigation Company, both of which are to be combined under the same agency, have just built, at the mouth of the Schuylkill river, twelve miles below the city, oue of the largest grain elevators in the world. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which is a large stockholder and the great auxiliary of the steamship company, have run a freight train to this point, and it is nothing unusual to see from 40 to 60 vessels under the agency and management of Peter Wright & Sons, loading with grain for different parts of Europe. in .i.?x 1? __j ?i i?: i all ims enterprise ttnu vast uusmeos hub sprung from the humblest and smallest beginnings, and what has been done here, surely can be done at such a port as our own Charleston, by tact, energy and close attention to minor as well as more extended and important details of commercial management. Peter Wright & Sons started as importers of China and earthenware, but by their gradual increase of freights and familiarity with shipping business, and European correspondence, achieved the high position they now hold. Capstan. Snake Bites.?The fangs?there are two in number?of a poisonous serpent are hollow. Through these faugs the poison is injected into the wounds made by them. The bite of a poisonous snake always makes two deep punctures ; that of a non-poisonouB snake is irregular in shape. When the poison is injected into a large vein, death may be almost instantaneous. Death from a rattlesnake bite generally occurs in five or six hours. The pain, which is severer than that of a bee sting at the start, becomes more and more excruciating to the last. The limbs, and especially the head, are greatly swelled. If the victim is strong, he may live a few hours longer, and then die of general mortification. The rattlesnake can neither spring upon a man, nor can it pursue rapidly. Ordinarily, snakes bite only when they are provoked. Where vipers and the smaller snakes are found, woodmen and others should wear thick boots, as they seldom attempt to b'te above the ankle, and their fangs cannot penetrate leather. A person bitten should drink freely, every fifteen or twenty minutes, a gill or more at a time of whisky, brandy, rum, or gin, diluted with hot water, stopping just short of intoxication. This will generally effect a cure in a few hours, in the case of bites from our American snakes. As serpent poisons are not injurious when taken into the stomach, it is always safe to let a person suck the wound with his mouth, provided there is no abrasion of the lips.? Youth's Companion. 1 ? ? Fall Mulching.?There are two seasons in the year when fruit trees, grape vines, berry-bushes, etc., require mulching?in the heat of summer to prevent drought, and in the fall to protect from the frost and furnish nutriment in the spring. The fall is the most important season for mulching; as the soil, frequently stirred and kept mellow during the hot weather, will answer to a great extent the purpose of a mulch in summer. The best fall mulch is a coat of leaves, unless the ground requires more enrichment; then add manure. But, usually, a good coat of leaves, spread thick and wide, answers a sufficient purpose. This, where the ground has sufficient fertility, applied each fall, and in the spring worked into the soil, will supply what the crop removes; and leaf pabulum 6eems to be what is wanted, containing the material in good proportion. I have tried this thing with the most satisfactory results. Sometimes, where there is exposure to the wind it will be necessary to cover a little with earth, so as to keep the leaves in place. Chip-mold is also good ; so is garden refuse. Any dry vegetable material will do, even straw packed with a little soil; but I prefer loouoo?nature's nrnviainn finmo anrin. I kle on a little lime; in most cases it is a benefit. Applied thus, leaves which are generally considered useless and often in the way, inay be made to serve a very good purpose.? F. G., in the Country Gentleman. Mind the Two Ends.?This is good advice. A writer in the American Agriculturist enforces it as follows: When a small boy, I was carrying a not very large ladder, when there was a crash. An unlucky movement had brought the rear end of my ladder against a window. Instead of scolding me, my father made me stop, and said, very quietly, "Look here, my son, there is oue thing I wish you always to remember; that is, every ladder has two ends." I never have forgotten that, though many, many years have gdne, and I never see a man carrying a ladder or other long thing, but I remember the two ends. Don't we carry things besides ladders that have two ends? When I see a young man getting "fast" habits, I thiuk he sees only one end of the ladder, the one pointed towards pleasure, and that he does not know that the other end is wounding his parents' hearts, Ac., &c. JST* According to a prominent religious I journal, in Boston there is a very bad state | of morals among the young men and women and girls in many reputable families in that city. This religious newspaper tells its read-. ers that the Boston chief of police declares there are hundreds of girls, belonging to respectable Boston families, who have adopted ways of j which they would blush to have their relatives know. Everything conducive to the better condi- j tion of the baby is sure to attract attention ; j jmd hence it is that Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup is 1 becoming more and more appreciated, as its wonderful influence in subduing the diseases of babyhood becomes recognized.
