- A Vision of the future. ' 'irrom the Albany (X. Y.) Arjfua. At 1J o'clock, the hour fixed upon for the assembling of the Senate, and the counting of tin- votes of the Electoral College, the Private Secretary of the President tepied into lii-t carriage and proceeded first to the Government Printing Hun-au, where lie ninained lor a few u.onients, ami then proceeded to the Senate.

.hr) marines from tlie Capital .Navy 1 ard. Oil reaching the Capilol building, the linriucg were ordered to take ponxs-lon of the halls and corridors leading to the Senate Chamber and the House of Kepresentatives. The Senate wns already In session, and, at the conclusion of the prayer by the Chnplaln, the members of the Lower House prexented themselves at the doors of the Semite Chamber, In obedience lo the constitutional order requiring their prepuce at the. counting of the electoral vote, neat being provided for them on the Moor of the chamber. At the proper moment Senator Krelinghuyscn rose in

M wal and Bio vol the- vote he counted. A 1 1 his moment the 1'rlvate Secretary of the President entered, and was recognized at once by the Clerk of the Senate, with thy usual "Mr. President, a message from the President." In place of the cxjoct.d message, the following proclamation fell upon the stunned ear 01 the Democratic' Senators : Kxkcitivk Manmo, February 20, 177.

scriptural sense of Lite word there may lie an end to the world, as there is cert 'inly to be an end of our earthly life? To be sure, things have pone on for a long time In the same way, but is that any proof that they are to go on in tlie same w ay for ever? You arise morning after morning In good health and stn iigtb, and seem to say to yourself for a time that this will lat for ever; but one morning something happens, you cannot explain what ; tlie best physician In the world cannot tll you what;

Again, men for centuries had ranged over the mountains In Campagna ; they thought that all would go on

there, herds and fl.M-ks feeding and vineyards growing as thev had done for cen

of the men who had speculated with him ever expected that these gnat cities were to lie swept to destruction, and their beautiful pastures to become for a time an arid wilderness. I do not say such instances explain or tell us distinctly that such catastrophes will tfall the wiiole globe ; but at all events, 1 think they ought to make us uiode-t, m ling that the wisest know so very small a portion of the law s that regulate God's creation.

An EDgllh Railway Episode.

A workwoman w ho earns two francs a day, lodged in a garn t, thinly dad. i.a tilteen eeathnea to expand uptiu her daily fotxl. if she is fortunate enough to be in good health during the 3ui ilay of the year. The greater majority ot workwomen do not save as much by fifty or scv-enty-five centimes. How do they live ? It is hardly iofible for those who have never seen theia In their homes to hav any klea of such an existence. In orner to reach their gairets it is necessary to cross a fetid alley -and toil In the darkness tip three pairs of stairs. Their narrow window a ojen on the roof. The li-adlT-Mru-d lattices which support the a-shes let in the rain in w inter and tlie heat In summer. There is no chimney or stove or furniture, lliere are a bed, or rather tallet. ami one

or two straw hasocks. The landlord.

w ho Is iKX)iiy paid by Ids half starved

tenants, cannot attord to make any rciiaiis.

i tie 1-o.ir gin is oniy M-parated Irom her neighbors by a worm-eaten partition. The Commissioners of Kxaminafion in 1S5G found a woman who wns buriel, rather than lodged. In a hole Ore feet high by thn-e wide, and another who was obliged to bn-ak her only window lit order to breathe. They visited garrt-U which were entirely bare of furniture, without even a chair or a wooden bedstead, or even the straw mattress accorded to the prisoner In his dungeon. Women who work for very email w ages are generally wretchedly fed. They u-ually content themselves with thn sous worth of bread and tw o of, milk daily. There are many women in Pari who never siiend more : and who. so '

to speak, know nothing of anv other kind offood. They thus euccied in leedinothemselves, in-iiflictently, to be n.re. ou W francs a year. I5ut these lJ francs must be saved la some way. We have said that the averaire work

woman pays lot) francs for n nt. If she lodzes In a room with other, the ravln w in not t- very great, for cwt of tlc lodgers pay 'M centimes a day, or 72 francs a year. 'or eheajer lodgings they must go to places w liere tlie imagination refuses

to place an honest woman, even for an in-!

sunt. J.iglit is In li-pensa!,e to labor; we might almost say that fuel is also. Wasdung and dotJiing. w hich we have estimated at about I.") francs, remain, and out of this l.VJ francs we must take W lor clothing. It is clear that the poor creature w ill have no underclothing, and can wear nothing but ra:rs. And jet she works twelve hours a day; she lives In an unt'ur-ri-hed garret, and never eats any thing but bread and milk. All the w'omen she knows iiave lovers. No one Is ah.-ttned rf that ; poverty serves as an excuse to ihos w ho Kill wish to excuse themselves. Tlie romances which thev devour with aviditr

it is one of their pas-ions, as drunkenness is w ith men treat adulterr as a mere

iie-adillo. or even exalt il as a virtue.
