Whatever annotators may say, there re-
mains little or no doubt in my mind that
these words of Scott were addressed to the
Cliestrians-as a race. They themselves be
lievcd it and obey to this, day the advice
given. Hence Scott is regarded among them
as having been 3mm of an eminently practi-
cal turn of mind but whose talents, thanks to
a vicious training, were allowed to run to
waste in writing books. In fact, one haber-
dashcr, who felt that he owed his success in
life largely to an early perusal of the poem
above mentioned, did it... moment of cxalta-
tion propose that a statue of Sir Walter
should be erected in the principal square of
the city; representing-high; dressed in the
typical toga and- bag vigor _ the period, as in
the act of footing up a'column of figures or
charging a gun.‘ Itjwaaowiug to the bitter-
ness of the strife which'arose between the
partisans of the: twoattitndes (and in some
degree to the discovery that the expense of
the figure could be' charged to no one.but
themselves) that the project was finally aban-
doned. Shakespeare is also respected by
some few for his single remark :—“Cromwcll,_
[charge thee.”
But I am getting too far ahead. We have
not yet left Liverpool.
We were two. Having seen our trunks
put into the baggage car (you know" there is
no check system in Europe and one must
look after one’s own baggage,) we picked out
the best looking of the third class carriages
and got in. Refine the train started the
guard pushed into our compartment a couple
of iron bolsters containing hot water. These
were to soothe the passengers and keep, their
minds occupied infighting to see whose feet
should be warm. As we were alone there
was no row and we turned our" attention to
the smooth English scenery. Smooth ex-
presses it. Looking from the car window
one sees miles and miles of cultivated fields
divided by close-clipped hedges and inter-
sected by ditches. The sharp points on those
hedges gave me the first realizing idea of the
expression to ‘ spike a horse" in hunting.
Some few trees and many farms and villages
we past,—most of the second surrounded, as
to their door yards, by rows of thatched hay
cocks. Hay is'not under cover as with us. 7
We reached Chester abouthalf past three'
p. 11]., took a cab and drove to the Grosvenor ‘
House; nee “Royal Hotel,” but. the name
was changed upon its rebuilding by the Mar-
quis of Westminister to whom it belongs.
The present building is picturesque and will
harmonize well With the general character
of the town when time has toned it down a
little; the lower part being of stone with a
colounade and the rest of wood and plaster
in the style.known as “open timber."
We had no difficulty in procuring rooms
for there was not. a soul in the house when
we arrived ; though we were told that every
room was engaged for the next Monday for
guests of the Duke, on the occasion of the
marriageof his daughter, the Lady Beatrice
Grosvcnor. Until then we could be accom-
modated. My room was a pleasant one with
a little oriel window in onelcorner. The
furniture was of the description erroneously
called among us the “Eastinke.” The .name
is unknown in England. It arose" in this
way. Sir CbarlesL. Eastlakc, an. architect
of note, wrote a work, "Hints on Household
Art,” in which he advocated for furniture,-
fitness for its purpose and a construction
suited to the material used. As construction
was most honest in the middle ages the
larger part of his examples are taken front
that time. But- he asked for ,no particular
style,—nll he insisted .ou was “honesty."
Our furniture makers took up the drawings,
followed the forms (sometimes,).'but tetally
disregarded the principles arid ' invented a
style which lacked tlie'first principle 01.7w.
Then they named it “Eastinkc”. andiSir
Charles’hair turned gray in? a single night.
Of course my bedhadcurtaius; They would
as soon think ofleaviug' off ' the pillow in
England where, as all over; Europe, the
houses are inclined tO‘be 'draughty.
Chester is specially noted for three things.
First, as being the" only town -in- England
whose wall is. still entire ; s'eéond', in having
a peculiar freak of‘nature 15.71.675.155: side- -
walks in the second storyjau‘dla’stly‘, for, the
never-to-be-gottenxover regret; of its inhabi-
tants that it is not,.as it Once was, a. seaport.
Of these three the double sidewalk is, per-
haps the most'curious'to-a stranger. There
are, of course, stores uponthe ground floor
entered as usual from the streets," but just
where one would expect to find the second
floor front rooms there is a second row of
paved sidewalks above the ceilings of the
stores below. Along, these sidewalks are
other stores and the houses above, flush with,
the story below, are supported by arches
resting on pillars.
Norwalk stores, knockout all the party walls
between the front rooms on the second story.
cut large arches through the front walls so as
to leave the walls above supperted only by
pieces at the corners. Now put stdresf in
the second story middle rooms and you’ll
have a fair imitation .of Chester. These
arcaded passages goby. the name of “rows."
Flights of steps lead up to them at the street
corners and sometimes between. The streets-
arc narrow and crooked and the genuine
sidewalks are often not more than a 'couple
Of feet wide. Inconvenien , very, but as one
looks between the old houses with their
fantastic gables, no two alike, leaning at all
possible angles, and catchesa glimpse of the
ivy-grown cathedral or a bit of the river Dec
beyond the arch in the wall, one forgives all
that and fog-gets that five minutes ago that
hansomc came so near making an end of him
as he flattened himself against the wall to
avoid it. The timbers of many of the houses
are carved in all sorts of grotesque ways,
notably on “God’s Providence House." An
odd' name? - In the seventeenth century
Chester was attacked by the plague and the
legend is that this house was the only one
which escaped, in commemoration of which
the owner caused to be carved upon‘the,
great beam over the gallery g—“lfid2, Good
Providence is Mine Inheritance, 1652." The,
new houses which are erected within the
wall are for the most part built in a similar
style so that it will soon be difficult for the
non-professional visitor to distinguish be-
tween the ancient and modern buildings.
One feels now as if the last century or two
were dreams as he walks about.
The wall which surrounds the old town is

better idea in this way. Take ablo‘ck of.

mainly two miles‘in circumferenc‘e'iiifd on a
fine day it is pleasant to loiter along upon it.
While we were at Chester it rained steadily.
The wall was built originally by the Romans
upon their taking possession of the place in
61 A. D. and, with the remains of abatli.
is the principal relics of their dominion.
Alfred the Great rebuilt part of it and it has
been altered and repaired at various times
since. The different works are _still easily
"picked out; ' *
Our first afternoon and evening were spent
in 11 visit to the cathedral and a walk through
some of .tlie _ rows. Though not - the
oldest church in Chester (which honor is.
claimed by St. John’s,) the cathedral is the
finest and most interesting. It. is now in
process of reconstruction by Sir Gilbert Scott.
The ground onwhich it stands has been used
for religious [u‘poses from the fabulous
ages. First by the Druids, then the Romans
put up a temple to Apollo and in 660 a
couple of centuries after their departure, an
abbey was founded on the same spot dedica.
tedto St. Wcrbarg, a‘ princess. Of course
Henry the Eighth seized it when he made
his reformation in 1540 and since then it has
belonged to the church of England. The'
present edifice was virtually completed in
1842- but some portions date from 907. While
l’m about it I might as well give the only
other date I mean to annoy you with and
say that it was from a tower on the wall that
Charles the First. witnessed the defeat of his
army on llOwtou Moor in 1645. Now you
can-skip all the dates in a heap if you feel so
inclined. .
As we entered the cathedral an old verger
met as and offered tocxplain' things. I think"
he did, 1150. for he gave us more improbable
statements in half an hour than I could be-
lieve‘in six months. But. we were solemn as
owls even when he showed us a carved stone
and said that an old German king lay under
it. We afterwards found out that he never
came near the place. In the choir upon each
side were seats with beautifully carved cano-
pics of wood. These seats bad a peculiarity.
During a large part of the Roman service it
was necessary for the occupants to stand and,
to allow room, the seats were hinged and
could be shut up: Now, on the front of each
is a little board, so convenient to lean against
until one becomes drowsy and rests one's
weight upon it. Then the deceitful thing
drops forward with a clatter and the delin-
quent is on his knees. The church is curci-
form and the south trausept is used for the
distinct parish church of St. Oswald’s. After
looking about the church and the interesting
cloisters we returned to the hotel for dinner.
After dinner we retired to the smoking
room for awhile. There were-several people
of thctown there, and one of them was quite
talkative. He was_(as the French put 11,) a
little way in the vineyard of the Lord, even
at that early hour. His first question, con-
stantly returned to, was as to whether ,the
United States was ever going to get at peace
,after'the election. We could not quite con:
vince him it was not in a state of war. But
what could-we’expect of a man who thought
Connecticut wasa town somewhere in Illi.
nois? I'think we taught him something for
he took in like a lamb our account of the last
buffalo hunt we had in Madison square.
When he was full of facts we sauntered
out to get shaved. The barber spent a quar-
tel- of an hour in telling» us what celebrated
Americans he had shaved, and General Some‘
body offered to set him up in New York if
hewould only go over. During this he was
was trying razors numerously. Finally he
found one which would 'whittle a stick and
strapped it vigorously for another quarter of
an hour to an accompaniament of more praise
of his own skill. Then he sat me down in
an ordinary wooden chair, shut his teeth and
began—I refer you to Mark Twain for a de-
scription. We shaved no more in Eng-
land. Charlie, who has a very strong beard,
wept most of the night.
I ought to have added to the list of won-
ders of Chester the drunken people. I never
saw so many to the square acre as on that
night,——men and women. The streets were
full.
On Sunday morning we attended service in
the cathedral and had the pleasure of seeing
the mayor in his robes, with his mace before
him and his “tail” behind, walk solemn up
the nave and take the best seat. The singing
was by a boy choir and was really good. By
the way, when the collection was taken up a
little red velvet bag was passed from haml to
hand among the congregation. I strongly
suspect the old rascal who sat next to me of
bringingout his band something fuller than
it went in.
In the afternoon we walked around the
,wall, a mournful, dripping processin for the
wind blew the rain about so that umbrellas
were useless.
I learned something the first night. I went
up to my room to go to bed. I lit match
after match in a vain search for the gas or
anything inflammable. Then I rang and the
servant did wear such a grieved expression
when I asked him for alight, and wanted to
,know why I had not carried up a candle
from the hull downstairs. I added to the hint
and took a couple in my pocket when we left
on Monday afternoon. ’l‘ho’ I have not
told you anything yet, I find I have spread
.over all the space I ought to. So I'll simply
add that. Monday was spent in a visit to St.
John's anti other points of minor interest.
Then we took the train for London about
which city next time. .

The murdereg must. have cause for murder-
ing, the brute must have a victim near, the
ravisher needs opportunity, but the forger,
or the swindler, or the chest is always pro-
voked and always ready. There is always
property to be obtained, and he is always
wanting it. ‘ .
This reason is unanswcrable, and is always
quoted by statesmen as sufiicient answer to
any plea for reducing the penalties on men-
niary crime, butit is not, as some writers of
recent letters seem, to fancy, the only justifi-
cation for the laws. They forget or have
never thouglitwhat a scoundrel an educated
thief, whatever branch of thieving he pursues,
must necessarily be. . ‘He, almost alone
among criminals, must perform his crimes in
cold blood. :He must, whether he is a for-
ger, ,embczzler or only cheat, plan his crime
down to its smallest details, ‘coolly, soberly,
With deliberation and with all his faculties
at their utmost stretch.
A man cannot forge in a passion, or under
terror, or when‘nearly blind with drink. He
must carefully‘forsee the consequences of his
act, must be careful to avoid all basic or pas-
sion, and must. be utterly indifferent to any
suffering he may‘infiict, however, dispropor-
tionate the gain to himself. The larger his
operations the greater intellect they require,
the more cool and composed must. be his
judgment, and the greater the amount of tor-
ment the innocent will suffer.
The defaulting banker, the lawyer 'who
bolts with his client’s money, the forgcr who
ruins a firm, the cmbczzler who destroys a
family, constantly inflicts as much suffering
as the most violent of the brutes whom the
magistrates, moved ,by some reasoning we
have never been able to follow, so frequent-
ly let. off with inadequate sentences.
.We abhor the brute who half murders his
wife, but he is scarcely more cruel titan the
defaulter wh'o deliberately ‘docs acts which
sends whole families previously decent and
respectable to the workhouse. or the asylum.
W edetest the brutal rough, but is he more

There , is not a criminal lawyer in the

swindlers have destroyed whole families,

Coffee culture ‘is- beginning to pay, it is
said, in California. No doubt the principal
trouble there is a total want of experience in
the management of the crop, for otherwise
everything else is favorable. The southern
half of California has a tropical climate and
a genial soil, so that any crop will ripen them-
If coffee-culture can become permanent and
flourishing, the first aim of the San Francisco ‘

products of Brazil, San Domingo, Java, and
Venezuela, uriless, indeed, things go on much
.faster in California then there seems any inc a

in oranges and lemons; Great quantities be-
ing imported from . the East Indies, from,
which that State also receives its supplies of
Ceylon and Java coffee. 0n the Atlantic
side of the Republic coffee will ripen in
Florida and Texas, but no progress has yet
been made with it there. Whenever the do-
mestic coffee interest becomes important, we
shall bear a great deal less clamor for the im-
position of a duty on the imported article.—- .

UNITED STATES IYIAIL ROUTE
The attention of the traveling public is respect-
full invited to some 01 the merits of this great
big way. in the confidentassertion and belief that
no other line can otl‘er equal inducements as a
route of travel. In
Construction and Equipment
THE
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
stands confessedly at the head of American rail-
ways. The track is double the entire length of the
llncpt‘steel rails laid on heavy oak tiesnvhlch are
embedded in a foundation of rockballast eighteen
inches in depth. Ail bridges are of iron or stone ,
and built upon the most approved plans. Its pas-
senger cars, while eminently safe and substantial.
are at the same time models of comfort and ele-
gancc.
The Safety Appliances
in use on this line well illustrate the far-seeing
and liberal olicy of its management, in accord-
ance with w ich the .utllity onl of an improve-
sideration. Among may may be noticed
THE BLOCK SYSTEM OF SIGNALS,
JANNE'Y COUPLFR, BUFFER AND
PLATFORM,
THE WIIARTON PATENT S WITCH,
AND
THE WESTINGHO USE AIR-BRAKE,
forming in con'unction with a. perfect double
track and road- ed a combination of safeguards
against accidents. which have rendered them

are made in Union Depots, and are assured to all
important pornts. .
THE SCENERY

is admitted to be unsurpassed in the world'hr
grandeur. beauty and variety. Superior refresh-
ment facilities are provided. Employees are
courteous and attentive.and it is an inevitable
result that a trip by the Pennsylvania Railroad

Said the boy, “I’ll climb that tree

Quoth the girl, “I will not see
Little birds defrauded so.
Cowardly their nests to take,
And their little hearts to break,
And theirlittle eggs to steal 1
Leave them happy for my sake—

The—Worst Small Boy.
For a long time it has been the boast of the
First Congregational Society of Birchville,
Ohio, that they possessed a minister who, in
point of lungs and legs, was fully equal, and
in some respects superior, to Mr. Talmage.
There is no doubt that this boast is to some
extent justifiable. While Rev. Mr Sunbright
is admittedly inferior to Mr. Talmagc in the
management of his left leg, and never at-
tempts the eloqueut feat of throwing both
legs simultaneously over the front of the pul-
pit, he can pound the desk or stamp his right
foot with a violence which the Brooklyn
athlete has-never yet approached. Ills voice
is simply unequalled in power, and on calm
Sundays has more than once readhed the
next village, distance three miles from the
meeting house, and created a temporary
alarm of fire. Of course. these qualities have
made him exceedingly popular with the
thoughtful members of his congregation, but
they have not. secured for him the respect
and admiration of the small boys. His in-

_ .York, for Pamphlet of, 100 pages, containing
lists of 71000 newspapers, and estimates showing
variable habit of rumpling a gmall boy’s hair
the wrong way while pointing out to him the
general sinfulness Of his ways is unquestiona~
bly adapted to awaken the baser passions of
fallen juvenile human nature. To this ob-
jectionable habit he also adds practice of in-
sisting upon an unusuai amount of catechism,
and a total prohibition of circus, and the re-
sult is that he is hated by the small boys of
his congregation with great unanimity and
bitterness. - '
Among the small boys in question is one of
exceptionally studious habits and mechanical
ingenuity. When, cue day early in the Win-
ter, this small boy approached the Pastor and
begged fer the loan' of a book that would
fully explain to him the elementary principles
of natural philosophy, including the mechan-
ical powers and the strength of materials,
Mr. Sunbright rumpled his hair with real eu-
thusiasm, and remarking that he loved to' see
a boy with a mind above marblesj and cir-
cuses, promptly lent him the desired book.
For some weeks that ingenious small boy
devoted his whole time to study and to exper-
iments with carpenters’ tools and heavy
weights in the wood shed, and his father and
Mr; Sunbright congratulated one another
upon the extraordinary goodness and intelli-
gence of the studious youth. -
It was on the Saturday afternoon preceding
the fifth Sunday in January that the ingenious
small boy, together with several of his juve-
nile companions, gained, secret access to the
CongregationallMceting house. The pulpit
was'an old fashioned affair placed upon'ahigh
platform.’ Underneath this platform was a
movable panel, and in which the sexton was
accustomed to store broken benches and
other ecclesiastical rubbish. The boys first
carefully cut an opening in the floor of the
pulpit about four feet square, and then on-
tei'ing intothe lumber room below worked
for hours in comparative silence and with the
aid of alantern. The ingenious student of
the mechanical powers arranged a weight
and a lever in such a way as to support the
improvised trap-door in the pulpit floor
until a pressure of 180 pounds should be
brought to bear upon it. Without the ap—
plication of this pressure, the trap door
would retain its position, and would be in-
visible to any but the closest scrutiny. With
such pressure it would promptly give way,
but would resume its position as soon as the
pressure should be removed. Rev. Mr. Sun-
bright weighed precisely 172 pounds, and
it was calculated by the ingenious juvenile
miscreant—as it will shortly be necessary to
call him— that the momentum of the average
stamp of the Pastor’s foot would infalliably
be equivalent to an increased pressure of fif-
teen pounds. As the result showed this cal-
culation was correct, and the arrangement of
the lever and weight—was made with admira-
ble skill.
Its-was about the middle of next Sunday
Morning’s sermon when Rev. Mr. Sunbright
was eloquently denouncing the Church of
Rome, that he executed one of his ablest and
most convincing stamps and disappeared
from view with startling celerity. The au-
dience looked upon his disappearance as a
new rhetorical figure, and were filled with
admiration. One young man, who had visi-
ted New York, whispered quite aubibly that
he had seen both T. De. Witt Talmage and
G. L. Fox, and that neither of them had
ever executed so agile a trick. The minutes
came and went, but the Pastor did not re-
appear. Donbtless, so thought the people,
he was waiting to give full effect to his elo-
quence; but after a time theybecame some:
what surprised at the-unusual pause in the
services. Presently an Elder arose and re-
marked that their beloved Pastor evidently
intended his hearers to spend a little season
in meditation, whereupon every one medita-
ted with great assidiuty for five minutes
longer. At the expiration or this ‘time it.
was feared that Mr. Sunbright might have
fallen down iii a fit, and three gentlemen sim-
ultaneously went into the pulpit and amid
general consternation reported that he had
totally vanished. No one ventured to explain
the mysterious disappearance except an elder-
ly single lady, who suggested a sudden raid
on thepart of envious angles. The theory
rapidly gained adherents, in the absence of
any opposite theory, and might have been
generally accepted had not a faint knocking-
bencath the pulpit been heard. An examina-
tion was instituted, and Mr. Sunbright was
discovered, much abraded as to his surface,
and inwardly filled with righteous indigna-
tion. Fortunately, he had sustained no ser-
ious injury, and he was conveyed into the
adjoining lecture room had subjected to a
variety of soothing processes by the local
medical man. There probably never 'wasa
worse small boy than the ingenious contriver
of the trap. To a certain extent he has since
expiated his offense, but Mr. Sunbrigbt is
firmly convinced that there is nofpunishment
that will do justice to the pulpit, in which
opinion all respectable persons will agree. At
present the small boy studies as well as re-
cites on his feet; but that circumstance, with
all that it implies, gives but transient com-
fort to the injured minister. The pulpit floor,
as well as Mr. Sunbright, have since been
thoroughly repaired, but the painful inci-
dent deserves to be noted, partly as a warn-
ing to Mr. Talmage and partly as a melan-
choly evidence that Birehvillc possesses posi-
tively the worst of all existing small boys.—

The world wants more sunshine in its dis.
position, in its' charities, in its theology. For
ten thousand of the aches, and pains, and ir-
ritations of men and women we recommend
sunshine. It soothes better than morphine.
It stimulates better than champagne. It is
the best plaster for a wound. The good Sa-
maritan poured out into the fallen traveler’s
gash more of this than of oil. Florence
Nightingale used -it on the Crimean battle-
fields. Take it into all the alleys, on board
all the ships, by all the sick beds. Not aphial
full, not a cup full, but a soul full. It is good
for spleen, for liver complaint, for neuralgia,
for rheumatism, for falling fortunes, for me]-
