The CITY Ur-TI2wN.-ln the silence Of the
morning before the tides If business rush through
their usual channels, and while the air is yet fresh
and invigorating, it is quite delightful walk
through the upper part OF our CITY and observe
the rapid progress with which New-(ork Is getting
out of town" The spirit of Improvement has
been stealthly active in every direction, aud
churches and palocc-dweliags attract the eye and
testify to the growing love Of and the laudable
disposal of influence. \ few years since the
scholars of the then distant schooI-house found
broad and Joyous play ground in the md ulating
commons in summer, or only less hmitcss eN-
ercisc over their surfaces when the wner-rains
had settled there and were frozen. y ow the scene
is altered: the school-housc is in the ci;y-thc
turfy or rocky unaulations sraduatod ant
levened as a billiard table-streets broad, right
anslod and stretching from river to river present
the pleasing innovation of the implements and
materials of architecture and, never TO the aston
i,hed gaze of some Persian Princess were the
changes wrought by the potency OF Aaddin's lamp
more strange than would the present appearance
of that quarter of the City be 10 him whs has not
walked there for the last three four years at
most. To him who flies through it o. tho evenings
of business those improvements will not be dis
tinct nor their morale imprcssivc-thcy steal
slowly and as It were unwillingly upon the sight
IN order therefore to contemplate them urgnt, tor
they are study and Il beauty worthy OF contem-
plation YOU mus draw a map of. OF rather, per
haps arrange them in your mind until it extends
itself TO the rmor verge the entire ground with lis
frequent rows of trees clothed in the green and gold
and purple of their Autumnal foliage.


When we contemplate these realities and pass IN
thought to the scene Of that ruin, in which the
coniasraton Of 1885 laid waste the siorc-houses
of our commercial wealth, ;hcy seem more ike
visons-templed dreams: but the characteristic
enterprise OF our citizens, stands contest before
US. and We hail our city as indeed Tie Emporium
of Commeree--the dca ceTte, OF the western
world.


He who measures improvements by roods and
perchcs will lind one hour favorable as another
10 his spirit of enquiry the rule and square will
satisfy the defined OF his curiosity-but the
philosopher who measures thnm by their moraie-
their influence on the mind, will prefer TO view
them in the calm uninterrupted silence OF the
morning time when the R1ental and bodily vision
can combine the uttle with the dHice in one beau
tiful anA impressive panorama AT that tine too.
the atmosphere is full of freshness and health and
an hour spen, there would be more pleasant more
u,eful and ernui-lesS than age measured ou; il
crowded promenades and sufocating theatres. 5
