GREAT CITIES.

Pari* I* the greatest city on the continent, with the exception, perhaps, of Con«tantinoplo, which both Conamntine and Napoleon prnnounced to be the place for the cnpital of the world and yetNaw York, reckoning aa its inhabit ftnta those who habitually transact their businesa within a limited radiua. is greater than either Paria nr Constantinople. The population of the chartered ,lty of New York is estimated at this lime at seven hundred and eighty thousand. but including,

Nankin and Canton—instead of their ihree. two and one millions, are neither of thorn estimated to contain a population over six hundred thousand or eight Hundred thousand. We notice, also, pome interesting do.t* relating to the comparative apace occupied by large cities, Lohdon incloses its two million four hundred thousand in a space of «eventy-six thouaand acrca. Philadeljihi has a population of half a million within the iimits of seventy thousand a•cree.and New York has its seven hundred and eighty thousand people In the comparatively contracted space of thirteen thousand nine hundred and twenty

THE MORMONS.

Colonel Steptoe has entered upon his duties as Governor of Utah, but it seems Brlgham Young has more real authoriity among the faithful than the lawful governor. The aid of a battalion of Unlted States soldiers alone enables the new governor to maintain his position. On New Year's day a lot of rowdies in a drunken frolic got into a fight with the soldiers. Arms were used on both sides, and several persons were shot, though no deaths were caused. The next day

Brigham Young called out the Mormon Legion. The soldiers fortified their position, and prepared for a vigorous defence. After three days of high words and 'sound and fury,' the legion was dismissed, and as intoxicating liquors had been the cause of the difficulty, an order was issued forbidding the sale of liquors in the city. So ended the first campaign of the legion against United States authority. But it is only the beginning of troubles. The Mormons will yet become as troublesome a subject to deal with as the negroes. The question of the admission of Utah as a State of the Union will soon come up for settlement by Congress. Shall it be admitted or

excluded? There is ono objection to its admission that the constitution exapressly provides for. The constitution mentions but one condition on which the admission of a new State must depend. Its form of government must be republican. Can the Mormon government be

called republican? It is as far from it as the government of France at the pres-

vent

ent day. It is a hierarchy of the most odious form. One man rules in temporal and spiritual matters. The whole community is called 'the church;' and is governed as a church by a man who derived his title as governor originally neither from his people, or any other competent authority. It has the form of a legislature, it is true; but one of the acts of its last sess-

ion shows its character. It was an act called a 'Gift Law' by which 'the faithful* are to invest all their real and personal estate of every kind in Brigham

Young. It will be for Congress to aay whether such laws and such hierarchy shall be deemed republican, and admitled as a State of the confederacy.—<Pittsburgh Post>. ———————

tRAVELtlJIG B.4BIES. The English at home are a'ctiHoUs people—not fffutft like what we guess them to be' from their coantrymeW in France. They are Indignant ot the mis takes we sometimes make in describing their manners, and judging of their character but it seema to me-—although must confess 1 have bo&f'|tat short time in the country—that eccoraoy i» impossible, and that it is so not iess from our want of comprehension' than from their excessive oddity.

Now, a little while ago. whexpeeptng listlessly into the, ladies' waiting* room at a railway atatloni my attention was "attracTcd by a lady. her lltili girl, and ntlrse. *"rn'

The chifd Inppeiared'to havo seen at leoat ait or sisven summers as tbe novel? ists say. She amused herself,by running and dancing about, allowing her activity and childish joy in varioua. ways, until the train bell rang, when stop was put to her amusement'by mamma and nurae jointly calling: 'Come, baby, come here's the train T' The*gigstniic baby paid obedience, when Ip the sturdy limbs, which a few moments before had disployed auch vigorous powers of movement, were quickly enveloped in an immense shawl and the poor, helpless baby was carried in nurse's arms to tho carriage.

This was la simple circumstance, you will aay. Y*s, but quite unfathomable. How should I describe it as a trait of manners How should I roason upon it as an indication of character I stood gazing into the window with an air of such puzzlement as attracted the attention of a respectable looking person near me.

That Is curious said I to him—Tor an Englishman ia so like a ghost, that he never speaks till he is spoken to. •Notcurioua at all,' replied he 'children in arms go free.'

Some time alter, in another mom of the same kind, where there persons of both sex, I stumbled upon another baby and this by the way, is not wonderful, for in England babies are great travel-ierl-r-there is no such thing a% going anywhere without coming in contact with them. It was a cold, wintry day, a bright fire glowed on the ^hearth, and the room was «almost filled with passengers. "My iittitition was drawn to a young fe^nale, who was perambulating tho apartment with something in her arms which might be conjectured to be a young babf. *Severat,of the ladies seemod struck by Tier ."careless mode of carrying her living charge for though she occnaionally bent her head, as if to soothe the little one, still there was a certainawant of tendernela in her manner, which, did not bespeak either the affectionate mother or faithful nurse. A lady who aat near me, asked of another.,: •Po you think it really tj^a^baby that young person carries iri/a

do not know,' she replied, 'bul if 80 anJ she is its mother, I pity it.' 1 rose and walked past the questionable parent, looking at her burden as I did so but it was too closely muffled in the shawl for its features to be seen by a passing glance, although the motions of its little limbs showed that it was in life, and probably in health.

One of the ladies present who hod tried the same experiment and had also failed, seemed at length determined to satisfy her curiosity, and obtain a peep rtt the mysterious darling. Approaching it softly, she addressed the mother in her sweetest tones

'Is this a baby you have 7' and at the same time in a dexterous but gentle way removing the shawl from deary'a face she obtained a visible instead of a verbal reply to her question, by obtaining rf* view, amid the mother's blushes, of her little one, who was probisbly the linage of its fother—a poodle dog All were amusei, and even the patent smilejl..— But the finale was yet to come. *•£*,«

A train waa heard to arrive, and ahe immediately arranged her baby-dog's wrapper, and held it in afar more mo-ther-like way than before tho experience of the last half hour being evidently used 10 advantage, jgg

While the train was"getting ready to renew Its course, ahe promenaded the platform but Doggy, who had hitherto been an oxamplo to all babioa became restless. Whether the change from the warm atmosphere of the waiting room to the keen, wintry air notaido affected his lungs, or induced him to wiah for a romp on the platform, I know not, but certain it is he began to cry, and from low imploring whinea raised the tone to sharp, resolute, I will-have-my-own-way barks. In vain did mamma atrive to appease him, and hug him to her bosom, he determined to display his powers of dog language. Just at this crisis one of the guards walked up to tb« lady, and striving, but in vain, to peep ioto Tiny'a face, he remarked 'Poor little thfttg it wanta something you must give him when you get Inside.' The train waa now ready, and mamma and baby van* iahed.

What could ba tho explanation of this scene I Tho SphUut could not have read the riddle but an old woman atanding near answered my question in the same words I had beard, on the former occasion: ^Children in arms go free.* *1 know that' aaid 1.

Tie- Love Care*—A Sketch from LiHs I lyid already had some skill itnd notoriety in my treatment of pulmonary corpplain^ts, ppd traveling Noftli ^ne summer for health ^and-' rest,.! atopped for a few wieeka iH a beautiful liltle fil lage near the Si. LawrerfdOt here I was somewhat^known. I had hnly been fn lite village tws days t^hefn i^as ciril ed to seethe young, daughter of,4 iteal^'ifi^er b^ji|l9'4).aimd of, ^ufntficr.

Ida Summer had ^pen the betle o( c^uoiy' «9%4^0(tg{|: on[ty seventeen, iter marvelous beauty had already kindled a quenchlesa'fire in the heart of many a suitor to hef 'fetor: Frank, confiding' and at once plrfyftil and modest*arch, yet Inrtocent, fdll of wild spirlta, yet utterly devoid of coquetry to see her was to love her. 1 found the peerless girl whom I had remembered frond the summer before as buoyant and rosy with health, pale and wan as a summer cloud, and apparently in the last and qlosingatngea of a deep decline. A careful investigation into the state of l^er lungs', convinced me that her's was a mental rather than a physK cal consumption. ,1 studied her case carefully, watched the various expresaions "of her speaking face, and at last eame to the conclusion, th«t Ji^ipal.ady was one of the heart. sHi .v

Of unrequited aflection I could not think that beautiful and goad as she was. The case was 0 difficult one. Tenderly and gently I probed overy sounding. but could arrive at po conclusion.— Thus mUch I discovered that she possessed no particular regard for any onti of theryouths far or.jiaar, whose name I could get hold of. And, notwithstand» ing all my efforts, she seemed rapidly declining. Wk

I made minute inquiry into her pist life but cautiously, as not to let my motives be apparent, I learnod.that ahe had spent a few jv.eeks of the winter preceding with an intimate friend in an adjoining town, and from that time began to fade. To that town I repaired but by the closest inquiry could ascertain nothing. To all alike" she had been friendly, but nothing more. *.

The clergyman of the churclh which she had attended was a young man, but one given to study and seclusion. She had consequently seen nothing of Jiim except in the pulpit. 1 had made a pretext to call on him. and found him a man altogether made after the model of which njigbt be the highest aspiration^ of woman'sIteart.. lit fact, all the unengaged young ^adies of his parish were well nigh crazy about him. But to all he accorded nothing but a friendly greeting, and le§ving ihem^alLsougbt the privacy of hisjown study.gtiHe was eminently handsome, and, added to his tall manly form and/beautiiuiry chisselcd features, ho possessed benignity of expression that was nearly divine. had much, conversation with him, and among other things, I casually men-j •ioned Idti Stiver and her evidently1 dying

stnte,

enlarging sometfMt on her

benuty and goodness. His CPlor deepened somewhat as he assented to my re marks, and expressed his own regrets at her untimely fate but otherwise he manifested no emotion. 1 remarked before I left hUd), that it was time for him to give his pretty parsonage a mistress. •l-may. many years from now,'re plied he with a sudden and deepening sadness 'but I early learned to distrust the disinterested and abiding affection of'our modern young women. If I mar. ry, shall probably rfta'rry lato in life.'

/ullacv, take my word for it Mr. Stuart. Our modern women, some of them, are as fond and true as any of the damea of old. The thing is to find the right one. And thus saying, I bade him good morning.

On my return found my jSfafieht rather lower than when I left her. 1 told her I had been 10 the village of Suddenly and tumultously the warm blood rushed up to her bosom and her faro, and she looked at me with her

soft, Inquiring eye'sf^l told her of her friends attd casually mentioned the name of the young clergyman, Hubert Srtfart. To her clear, blue-veinjad temples the same ..truant blood aped w'uh fearful force 'i&tm&itteS s?» had seen enough. I knew her disease, and most probably its remedy. 1 instantly wrote a trote to Mr. Stuart, merely Baying 'If you would save a life, lose not a moment in hastening to (the name of the town. 1 will await you at my lodgings.' 1 signed my name, and dispatched it bv a private messenger. Sooner than I expected, tbe young clergyman waa at my hotel. I had prepared Ida for a conversation with a .clergyman, specifying, however, no one in particular. 1 led him to her chamber, saw her blush and start of joy jmd modesty.

What then and there transpired, no one but the great searcher of hearts and the two of his choicest handiwork thus brought together—a dying girl and a minister of Heaven—can answer. I left them alone as long as I thought her weak state might bear, and when I opened the door 1 found htm pitting beside her bed, her alender hand fast locked ia his, end his soul-beamiof eyes pouring life and love upon her.

My eyes.filled with teaps as I caught a sight of her radiant face, so full of peace end aerene bl}sa and life, but the tears 1 shed were the tears of joy.

My patient, with almost one bound, regained her health and atrength. and the glorious representative of God's minister upon earth, changing his mind up* ,M» f"W 'mm dwwip tiNMwftr

We noticed among- the group an inleresiing'girl abo^t seventeen years of sgej in faded yet deep mourning. There iVas an expression of anxious melaneholy upoh her pale and beautffdl countenance, which rivetted our attention.— She was not emofVgithrose who were bid' ding, but waa unddubtedly fitting until some article was offered which she-was desir6us of poiseasing. At' length, the auctioneer offered a minattire ectd locket. 'The pale girl started, and rushing towards the counter, exclaimed in a voice of deep anguish 'Oh, don't s$ll them, air, for mercy's sake keep them a little while longer.--shall be able to redeem them, I shall, indeed!' •.

What's the bid for them/ continued the auctioneer. ll^'Do not bid shrieked the girl. *1 had to pawn ihem to get biead tor my little sister it is motherV rdiniature, and her hair which thatlotket contains, my poor dear mother gave it to me when she was dying-' Oh, do riot sell it—pray don't!'

It is impossible .to describe the sensation produced'bv this appeal among the assemblage. There was not a solitary bid for the articles :-r-but we saw an elderly gentleman in the garb of a Quaker„go td the desk, and in a few minutes afterwards*we sa#'that pale girl press his hand to her lips, and after eagerly kissing something which he handed to her, she rushed from the

The Enrthqaake at Rroussa. Most distressing details have been received of the earthquake that destroyed one-third of the flourishing city of Broussa, oh the 28th ultimo. The panic caused by the destruction of the stone buildings id indescribable. The |)opuI.ition of Broussa rushed out irito'iho fields torror-stricken. The wounded were dug out of the ruins as rspfcfly nfs possl* bte, rftfd conveyed to tempory hospftals. The first day five hundred wounded persons were recovered. It was under the khsns, baths, and'mosques, which are all of sttfne, that thtf most sertaus casualities occurred. The silk spinning factories, belonging to Europeans and natives, have more or less suffered.— In Mr. Dzeanairli's establishment upward# of seventy poof young glrtr were killed.

Brousca Is celebrated for its thermal springs, and it is an extraordinary phenomenon ihat two of tbe springs have disappeared, whilst that called Caplidza was turned out of its bed, and the water now truns in an opposite direction.— During the earthquake a large rock was observed to detach itself from the Olympus, and roll down like a tremendous avalanche, carrying in ita descent, trees bushes, and atones, trout it arrived at the bottom of the ravine on the other side of the city. The number killed is set down at five hundred, with twice as msny wounded, and two htmdred and fifty mosques have been destroyed.— National Intelligencer.

How beautiful and touching an Incident is th*t related of the mother, who, at work on a ledge of rock in the excitement end interest in her necessary employment, lost sight for a moment of the precious infant she had taften wiih her to her place of. daily, toil, who had alidden off towards the edge of the precipice, whence, to the sguhjzed^esse of the too-stldden conscious mother, it needed b'tft rtoment more to transform him into -a shapeless mass below !, Maternal instinct, the strong current of her mother's heartblood tightening around her cheat, precluding scream or sudden motion. Calmly it led her to prostrate herself and bare.her bosom to her stray boy's gaze. He saw, he turned, ihe little creepef, arid lfljva moment more was fclasfted £0 thai scarce beating heart, pressed to that heaving breast all uncb'nsciotts of past dangers "revelling in present joy,"to dririk in lite saying as ^Kell life'-glvlrig nourishment. ?h p*recioui thought!—the noble instinct of a mother'* heart. Is it not even thus in the moral world 1 While the father's whole soul is so enwrapped with anxiety and care, and struggles to provide for the wants of his family, and the mother amid her daily duties and multiplied engagements for the younger onfes, rii'ayhap some fledgling of the nest, hitherto guarded and-cherished tenderly, is suddenly lost to sight or thought, and like the little unknowing creeper, is treading unconsciously on dangerous ground, or entering, unwarned, some trying fj'oene tending to moral ruin. Were the bosom of Io^e overflowing with the milk of human kindness, nnd yearning tenderness bared to his gaze miight not the wanderer be lured back to home and virtue 7—to love and sifetyl— Whereas, alas! too often th'e astonishing shriek startles the trembler to a sudden movement that becomea the last fatal step over the brink of the precipice, into th-j gulf below. HoW few of the yourtg and erring are, how. many might be reclaimed to truth" and virtue by timely thoughtful tenderness.

Oh maternal, parental love!—go beyond physical needs and mental culture swell in the breast, flow in the veins with gushing fullness, for the. moral aa well aa the physical weakness of your offspring and save, by one act of tender lore, the trembling'toddler of life's entrance, to expand perhaps into the perfect stature of a man—of mhid, and heart, arid virtue—instead of being hurried over the b'tfink of error, to be destroyed for ever.'V-AnicSw-bocktr Magazine, for April.
