As the sun diffuses his tempered heat over
all the earth, dispelling the gloom from the
dark forest and the shadow from the mount
ain brow, lighting, with its diffused rays,
the gloomy oell of the prisoner, and glow

cheerfelness in the human heart. As the

calms the decaying and dormant vegeta

refreshing green, interspersed with flowers
of every hue and shape,beautiful to behold,
and declarative of the goodness and benefi

sunshining countenance causes the depress

warmth of renewed happiness and content.
As the heat of the sun causes vegetation

cheerful countersue° produces the fruit of
happiness. Happiness and contentment are
its attendant handmaids, where one is there

THREE CALICO GOWNS
Although it may be a very "pleasant
thing to see one's name in print," it is not
allowable to print names, especially when
writing out a true story. For this reason
we shall have resource to fictitious addresses
and introduce our young lady acquaintance
as Miss Clara Clinton, and her lather as
Judge Clinton, of Clintonville.
They—that is the people—called the
Judge the oddest man that ever lived. If
oddity consists in having a way of his own,
Judge Clinton was a very odd man. He
would insist in living in a little brown, old
fashioned house, without carpets upon the
floors; and, what is more vexatious, he
would not allow &sots or lounge or rocking
chair inside the four brown walls. As he
had an Idea that the wholeconntry was go
ing to rack and ruin, because the men wore
broadcloth, and the women wore silks, he
declared he would wear home-spun as long
as be lived, and his women folks should be
restricted to calico.
As we have nothing to do with Hrs. Judge
Clinton, , we shall not allude to the hearty
vexation with which she carried oat the
whlresical old Judge's domestic relations.
As she could do nothing wiser them to gulp
down her chagrin, she did gulp it down,
and, woman-like, pretended to believe,with
her husband, that they could reform the
world by making themselves conspicuously
mean and uncomfortable.
Judge Clinton was still in Indigo-colored
home-spun, and Hrs. Judge Clinton in nine
penny calico, when Miss Clara Clinton hav
ing reached the cge of eighteen, and having
a will of her own, (which her mother was
careful to tell everybody the child inherited
from her hither,) announced her desire and
deterthination to go to a boarding school.
The Judge himself had been a poor boy,
self-educated through his own exertions.
He was a proof of his bumble birth and the
difficulties he had overcome at Brundery.
He had read Virgil by the aid ofa pine knot,
and Greek by the aid of a penny candle,
and solved the problems of Euclid by
snoonlight. He respected but one desire in
the world, and that was a thirst for know
ledge. So when Miss Clara protested that
she must and could, and would go to board
ing school, Judge Clinton cheerfully ac
quiesced and expressed himself ready to
"cash over."
No sooner was the interesting subject
broacbed, however, than, to Miss Clara's
surprise, her Mbar selected the most expen
sive, thorough and aristocratic institution
in the country, paid the yearly expenses in
advance, and sent her at once to complete
her education, with twenty-five cents for
spending money, and three calico gowns for
a wardrobe.
It is bad enough, Miss Clara said, sobbing
'llll the while al If her beautiful eyes bad
really been liquid finitains, to be obliged
to dime in calico ; but to have three calico
efts Ml alike, from the 'drum piece, ao
that•berOmpaulons would think that she
lied but oric--tbat was lgthe hasdpet tel bear
of all."
But the old judge was Incorrigible. He
itasaved two mbillittgs and sixpeuce by
failing them all alike, and he was satisfied,
If his daughter was not. -
It:was s bright, clear May morning when
Clara bade adieu to the ugly brown home
stead, and her mother who wiped her tears
on her calico apron, and the sheep that , bore
the fleeces from which her fatbetli home-
apun was made. She loved everything

when a soft voice said ;
"You are very tired, I am sure ; so are we
all; but we shall be atteeded to soon."
Clara looked her thanks to the gentle
spanker--a girl very plainly dressed, of a
sweeWwlnsome countenance, who bringing
her chair nearer, asked her some trivial
questions, and related some amusing exper
ience of her own hi reaching the institu
tion.
Clara L.ll more at ease, and being natur
ally vivacious and inteligent, soon made
friends with the kind stranger, who invited
her to become her room-mats.
The, school term soon commenced, and
there was little time for Clara to think of
her homely garments. But when Sunday
came round, and she took another calico
dress from her wardrobe, exactly like the
one she bad worn all the week, her room
mate said :
"Miss Clinton, I beg your pardon, but
wouldn't something else do better to-day?
The young ladies usually dress :: good deal
here, especially the frat Sc' 1.. w of appear
ing, and I am afraid you not find it
pleasant to be so plainly a:: r d."
Clara blushed, but she Iv,- t brave heart
ed girl, and had the good reuse to know
that deception could avail nothing. So she
said frankly:
"The truth is, I Lave but three dresses in
world, and those are exactly alike!"
Miss Pleasant looked at her a moment as
if she thought she must be quizzing, but
perceiving the blushes and confusion of her
room-mate, burst out laughing !
"Why Clara! It is so comical ! You
must excuse me, dear, if I do laugh a little.
How does it happen that you dress so plain
ly ?"
"Well, my father is very odd in some
things, and it is his will that we shall all
dress in prints."
Miss Pleasant went to the closet, and
shaking out a plain but very presentable
black silk, said :
"Please wear this, dear Clara. Don't
think but I shall love you just as well in
calico, but many of the girls won't and you
are so sensitive, you would be wounded. I
can well do without this dress the whole
term, and no one will know that it is not
J. S. CI
yours."
Clara hesitated. She had always desired
a silk dress. She had been thinking all the
morning of the ridicule of her school-mates.
Should she accept this offered kindness ?
Or would it be better to wear her own
clothes and appear as the really was?
She did not hesitate long ; but putting
her arms round Miss Pleasant's neck, kissed
her with trembling lips and said in a quiet
MAGNET. I way:
"Thank you a thousand timer. It does
not seem best. My father would not ap
prove it, nor do.I. If you love me, that is
enough."
Miss Pleasant patted Clani's cheek gently,
murmuring :
"You arc right, Clara, and you are hand
somer in your calico than the richest of
them in all their silks and finery."
' Nothing more was said. The two girls
went down to the assembly room when the
bell rang, and found the girls standing in
groups, waiting the appearance of the as
sistant teacher to lead them to church.
"Look ! will you V whispered Miss Gay
to the Miss next to her, "if that girl isn't
going to church in that old calico."
Miu Pleasant frowned, but Clam
She had conquered her pride that morning
on her hums; she had resolved not to be
made unhappy by what she could not help.
The assistant entered the room with a
rustleand a trail befitting her station. She
looked the young ladies over with a sweep=
ing glance, and pereniptorily ordered Miss
Clara Clinton to her room.
Miss Pleasant whispered a word in that
lady's ear ; Miss Clara was recalled, and the
procession fell into line. It was very vex
atiousthat all the gentlemen these young la
dies passed seemed to look only at the cal
ico dress. - It was so very odd to see a
young lady going to church in print. From
the dress they. looked into the face ; such a
pretty .ace it was too—so bright, all think
ing of the oddity of the attire, and wonder
ing who the young lady could be.
It was not long before Clara became
known as the young lady in calico. Old
Mr. Vennet, the wealthiest and most in
fluential gentleman of the town, having had
his attention directed to her peculiar dress,
made the discovery that her father had been
a dear and intimate friend in college.—
He was self-made himself, and he and
Judge Clinton had walked hand to glove in
the thorny ways of poverty.
Mr. Vennet, at the first opportunity, sent
a carriage to bring Miss Clara to dine with
his family, and told her many stories of
which Judge Clinton was the hero, and
was evidently very proud of his pretty
daughter,
Afterward, he from time to time sent bo
unds from his rare exotics, and such an
abundance of fruit, besides taking her to
ride occasionally with his family, that the
young ladies of the institute were almost in
a state Of envy. Finally, as if to drive the
young ladies to distraction, the Vennets
„gave a party to which the most influential and
wealthiest families of the country were alone
invited. Even the principals of the insti
tute were overlooked.
To this reception Miss Clara was borne in
her calico dress by liveried servants. Old Mr.
Vennet was so proud of her pluck, and so
delighted that she did not appear in tulle
and silks, that ho devoted himself to her
much of the evening, introducing her to
his friends with many flattering expressions
of admiration. t3he was finally-taken to
supper by young Mr. Vennet, who evidently
thought morn or obeerfal, sensible conver
sation, then of the satins, laces, pearls and
diamonds in the drawing—fr"som.
As might be expected, Miss Clinton from
that weaning was quite:a belle, No one could
slight a young lady to whom the Vennets
hao been so attentive. Beside, there was
something quite novel in having a beauti
ful young creature front the country who
had a rich father, and wore calicobecause she
was not poor. The young ladles petted her
'because they had nothing to be Jealous of ;
the old ladies patronized her as an example
for their daughters ; the young men respec
tell her itoc . her pretty vitays, indeponence of
character, and ready wit; and the old men
put their thumbs into The arms of their
vests, and gral4ly announced that she was
quite an original and exemplary young
la
4y, and they wished' that there were more
like her. • Indeed the Mil,y wonder tvim that
Judge Clinton's 6aroo dresses di'n't prove
bli daughter's ruin.
The long school session was to close with
a public elimination, upon which occasion
all the young ladies were required to wear
white, with sal sashes, and a rosette Upon
the left, shoulder. The principal had ibs
eye:to effect, and ahe . would admit nothing
that antidotal harmony, ,

=UM
If the principal had designed to make
Judge Clinton the liapplest of the mem,
which she didn't, and to render it forever
out of Miss Clara's power to wear white
mull, she could not more effectually have
nccompliAled her purpose than in writing
him that note.
Judge Clinton, of Clintonville, declared
that be was not to be dictated to by any
woman—not he. Ills rather impolite re
ply was:
"Ile'scut his daughter to study books
not dress. If she wanted his daugh'cr to
wear white she was at liberty to provide
that garment for her. For his part, he did
not know what right teachers had to decide
what color or goods their pupils should
wear. If she was not willing his daughter
should appear in calico, she was at liberty
to say so and he would remove her at once
from the school."
The principal, as may be supposed, was as
indignant as a principal could welt be. But
what would the Vennets say, and the weal
thy persons whom they would influence, it'
Miss Ciar was: ban6hed ror wearing a dress
they had condescended to honor?
Besides, Clara was the best writer, the
best singer, the best dialogue maker of the
whole school. She was accessary to the
brilliancy of the anniversary.
The principal decided to adopt the Judge's
suggestion ys and provide the outfit at her
own expense. But no sooner was this de
cided upon, than the Judge wrote by ex
press protesting that his daughter should
not wear white at all, and that he was
coming in person to see that she didn't via
late his command.
The result of it was the judge caLied his
point, and Clara was the odd bird in the
whole flock of white pigeons.
Among all the queens of Swiss and mull,
the belle was the °beet fed of all observers.
She was really the handsomest, merriest and
most sparkling creature in the room.
And what was sadly provoking to the
teavher, there sat Judge Clinton, in his
snit of homespun, by the aide of old Mr.
Veunet upon the platform, availing himself
of every opportunity to tell the whole sto
ry connected with the calico garment.
At last it came to the distribution of pri
zes, and that for exemplary conduct and
correct recitations was awarded to Miss
Clara Clinton.
If Judge Clinton did not make a speech
on that occasion, it was because Mr. Veunet
did. And the address was fully reported at
the time of its delivery ; we will not report
it here, but simply refer to that part of it
which relates to our heroine:
"I am happy," said Mr. Vennet, "that
this prize ham fallen to the daughter of my
friend Judge Clinton, of Clintonville. She
is a worthy daughter of a worthy sire. She
may well be proud to receive this token of
her teacher's approbation, for she won it
under peculiar and trying circumstances.
Young ladies, do not forget that though you
are beautiful when adorned, you are more
attractive, more intellectual, more self-reli
ant while you remain satisfied with what
Providence has place at your disposal."
A. LADY ordered her newly-hired cook to
give them Bologna sausage on a certain
evening for tea. Seeing only bread upon
the table, the lady supposed her order had
been misunderstood, and, resigned, poured
out her husband's tea. On the first taste,
the gentleman said there was a strange,
very odd flavor about the tea ; it seemed
smoky and spicy. The lady naturally lift
ed the teapot, and soon discovered that the
cook had, in truth, literally obeyed her or
der by giving them Bologna sausage for
tea. There it was sure enough, crammed
into the pot, with the usual quantity of hot
water.
Hors CumursTLNEBB.—Many a child goes
astray, not because there is a want of pray
er or virtue at home, but simply because
home lacks sunshine. A child needs smiles
as much as flowers need sunbeams. Chil
dren look little beyond the present moment.
If a thing displeases, they are prone to
avoid it. If home is a place where faces
and words are harsh, and fault-fluding is
ever in the ascendant, they will spend as
many hours as possible elsewhere. Let ev
ery father and mother, then, try to be hap
py. Let them talk to their children, es
pecially to the little ones, in such a way as
to make them happy.
PLAYENG MOTHER.—A. little girl nut six
years of age, screamed to her little brother,
who was playing In the mud: "Rob, you
good-for-nothing rascal, come into the house
this minute, or I'll beat you till the skin
comes off." "Why, Angelina dear, what
do you mean ?" exclaimed the mortified
mother, who stood talking with a friend.—
Angelina's childish reply was a good com
mentary upon this manner of speaking to
children : "Why mother, you see we were
playing and he's my little boy, and I'm
scolding him just as you did me this morn
ing."
"WHAT'S that ?" asked Mrs. Partington,
looking np at the column of the Place Veil
dome during her late visit to Paris.
"The pillar of Napoleon," she was an
swered.
"Weil, I never did !" she exclaimed
"and that's his pillow—he was a great mon
to use that! But it's more like a bolster.—
And it's made of iron, Ido believe. Ah I
Isaac, see what it is to be great. Flow bard
his head must have rested on his Ironical
pillow !"
A thrums/4 sued his ueighlior for killing
his dog. The Justice asked the defendant
if he killed nag. "Po sure I kilt him,
but let him prove it," was the dogged reply .
This being satisfactory, the plaintiff was
asked (with a view of assessing damages)
how much the dog was worth. "The
dog was worth nothing, hut since he was
so mean as to kill him, he shall pay de full
value of him." This picture will apply to
a good many lawsuits.
As old clergyman, motes distinguished
for his piety than for the elegance of his
oratorical delivery, once read aloud from
his pulpit a hymn, in which oecurs this

A 00101IED servant sweeping out a
lor's room found a. sixpence on the carpet,
which he carried-to the owner. "Yon may
keep it for ponr honesty," said he. A short
time after he missed his gold pencil-case,

A STORY FOR TILE LITTLE FOLKS
THE PRAIRIE-HOME ON FIRE.
A little brown log-house, on a great wide
stretching prairie, was the home of Mamie
and Kitty Clayton. Mande was seven and
Kitty a little over four, and they were as
sweet a little pair as ever you saw. They
had never seen a country with hills and val
leys, rocks and rivers. All the landscape
they knew anything about was the wide
plain reaching afar to the horizon, where it
seemed to blend with the sky, only dotted
hero and there with a cluster of oak trees,
which were called "oak openings."
One quiet Sunday afternoon In winter the
two little girls were spending at home with
their mother. Their father and brother
.John had gone to church in the little log
meeting hou. , e,three miles distant ; but Mrs.
Clayton had not felt well enough to go, so
the little girls had been keeping very quiet
at home. It was a cold afternoon, and the
anew, thick and white, covered the face of
the prairie.
Mamie sat by the open fireplace, where
the oak logs burnt brightly, reading aloud
from her little Testament; and Kitty was
listening eagerly to the story of the tempest
of the water which grew calm when Jesus
said unto it, "Pe.tce be still." The twi
light was deepening so rapidly that Mantle
was obliged to stoop forward, that the fire
light might fall on the pages of her book.—
Suddenly she stopped reading, and seemed
to listen.
"Mamma," she said, "I Emell something
burning, and the room is all smoky."
"Doesn't the fire smoke?" asked her
mother, raising her head a little anxious
from the lounge where she was lying.
"No, the fire doesn't smoke, I think,"
answered Mamie. "I'll go out in the kitch
en, mamma, and see if there is any fire in
the stove which can make a smoke."
A fire on the prairie was something they
had all learned to fear. Even the children
were taught early to dread it. They knew
if once a fire broke out there was no means
to check it ; and they bad all heard many
sad stories of families suddenly driven ont
of doors by the flames, who had found
thenurelves homeless and destitute in a few
hours.
Mnmie ran out into the kitchen, and a
moment afterward rushed back, with her
eyes wild with horror.
"0, mamma, mamma!" she cried, "our
shed is all on fire !"
Forgetting in that moment the blinding
headache which had been torturing her all
day, Mrs. Clayton sprang from the lunge
and rau into the kitchen, whose little win
dow looked out upon the shed where the
grain and straw for the cattle were stored.
What Mamie had said was too true. Great
curls of smoke were wreathing out through
the cracks, and now and then a little sharp
jet of flame was plainly seen.
Both the shed and house were built of
dry logs, which burned as rapidly as fire
wood, and the two buildings stood close to
gether. Mrs. Clayton looked about her
almost distractedly, and tried to think what
could be done. The children were her first
thought. They must be put in a safe place,
and the nearest neighbor's house was a mile
and a half away—too far to trust them to
go alone over the snowy, trackless prairie.
Hastily taking their little woolen hoods and
cloaks from the peg on which they hung,
:she wrapped the two children warmly.—
Then she took a feather-bed from the high
post bedstead in the front room, and began
dragging it out the front door.
"Come, children," she called: "come
after me as fast as you can, and mind to do
exactly as I tell you."
The children followed her a considerable
distance from the house—far enough to be
safe from all danger of fire. Then she
threw down the bed, and placed the child
ren on it.
"Stay here till I come back," she said
Then, returning to the house, she seized
another bed ; and, dragging it after her, in
the same way, she came back to the chikl-
ren again
"Now, Mamie and Kitty," she said, lay
ing them down in the soft feathers, "I shall
cover you all over with this other bed ; and
you must not get up till I come for you,
else you might freeze to death this cold
night. So lie still, and I will try and put
the fire out."
The children, who were filled with awe
st the situation of affairs, lay down obedi
ently, and their mother covered them snug
ly, even to the tips of their noses. Then
she ran track to the burning house.
By this time the sparks from the shed
had fallen on the roof and aide of the house,
and it had begun to take flee. Mrs. Clay
ton ran in -doors, and taking a cheat, which
contained many of her most valuable pos
sessions, she drew it out into a snow-bank.,
She ran to her cupboard and took a little
tray of silver spoons and placed them be
side the chest. The she seized her water
pail from the kitchen, to see if she could
do anything toward stopping the flames.
The place for drawing water was several
yards from the house ; but, dashing over
the smoking logs the contents of her pail,
the run to the well, drew one pallid!, and
running round the house dashed it on the
flames. They seemed to be checked for a
moment, and she hastened to repeat the
deluge. So back and forth, unconscious of
fatigue, or headache, or the piercing cold,
she worked against the fire. But the strong
element baffled her weak, unaided etforta,
and she saw the flames constantly gaining
on her. In her excitement she had forgot
ten to put on either hood or shawl.- Ite.r
long, thick hair had fallen from its fksten
int!, and, drenched with the water which
had frozen on her dress and person, it hung
a sheeted mass of ice over her shoulders.—
Insensible to all ;big, she was preparing to
dash one last pailful on what was now little
more than a smoking ruin, when she heard
a voice close behind her, It was her hus
band, returned from ohurch ; and, overcame
now by the terrible excitement of the last
hour. Mrs. Clayton fell into his arms per
fectly insensible.
When the afternoon meeting • was over,
the first thing Mr. Clayton had seen, on
coming, out of the chureh door was a bright
light glowing in the distance across the

"I fear the prairie is on lire," he said,
turning to his nearest neighbor; "and my

"That Isn't a prairie dm," answered Mr.
Harkins: "It don't spread toned enough.
It is is house a•tire. In the direptidn of
your house, too, isn't it Brother Clayton?
Freekon three or four of ns wilt drive
round with you, and see If anything Is the
matter."
Mr. Clayton and John jumped into their
sleigh,aqd hals - Ikdoaeo other stout men
and boys prepared to follow his road. Er

Mrs. Clayton was Immediately wrapped

house, which now lay fiat, a confused mass
of bond and charred logs, searching wildly
fur the children ; while John, the oldest,

his search.
"Mamie! Kitty!" they both cried again
and again.
One of the neighbors at that moment
caught sight of a confused mass of Immo

and pointed it out 1 , 1 the father. Mr. Clay
ton ran hastily to the pli4ee, and found the
feather-beds piled one on the other. Just
above the edge of the upper one peeped the
scarlet border of a tiny hood.
Turning down the bed, he beheld the two
little girls cuddled close to each other and
fast todeep, in the midst of all the noise and
confusion.
Never did father clasp his children more
joyfully in his arms than did Mr. Clayton
that moment. The boas of house and of his
stock of worldly goods seemed nothing la

dear ones alive and safe. Getting into the

with full hearts that their lives had been
spared.
Now a pretty white cottage, surrounded
by a blooming garden, stands in the place
of the little log house. Mantle and Kitty
are growing to be young ladies ; but they
will never forget that night when their pr ei •
rie-home took fire.—N. Y Independent.
WEIS= WOOD Comas Peon. —lf we
were to take up a handful of soil and ex
amine it under the mieroseepe, we should
probably find it to contain a number of
fragments of wood, small broken pieces of
the branches, or leaves, or other parte of
the tree. If we couki examine it chemical
ly, we should find yet more strikingly that
was nearly the same as wood in its com
position. Perhaps, then, It may be raid,
the young plant obtains its wood from the
earth in which it grows. The following
experiment will show whether this con
jecture is likely to be correct or not. Two
hundred pounds of earth were dried In an
oven, and afterwards put into a largo
earthen vessel ; the earth was then moist
ened with rain water, and a willow tree
weighing five pounds, was planted therein.
During the space of five year:tithe earth was
carefully watered with rain water or pure
water. The willow grew and flourished,
and to prevent the earth being mixed with
fresh earth,or dirt being blown upon It by the
winds, It was covered with a metal plate
full of very minute boles, which would ex
clude everything but air from getting ac
cess to the earth below it.
After growing in the earth for five years,
the tree was removed, and on being weigh
ed, was found to have gained one hundred
and sixty pounds. And this estimate did
not include the leaves or dead branches
which in five years fell from the tree. Now
came the application of the test. Was all
this obtained from the earth? It had not
sensibly diminished ; but in order to make
the experiment conclusive, it was again
dried in an oven, and put in the balance.
Astonishing was the result—the earth
weighed only two ounces less than it did
when the willow was first planted in it yet
the tree had gained one hundred and sixty
four pounds. Manifestly, then, the wood
thus gained in this space of time was not
obtained from the earth ; we arc therefore
compelled to repeat our question, `•Where
does the wood come from ?" We are left
with only two alternatives. ; the water with
which it was refreshed, or the air in which
It lived. It can be clearly shown that it
was mot due to the water; we are conse
quently unable to resist the perlexing and
wonderful conclusion—it was derived from
the air.—L(fe of a Tree.
Kim Ma —An amusing incident occurred
in a ceittin city a few days since, and one
that is too good to be lost. One of our
celebrated composers has written a very
pretty song entitled "Kiss Me." A very
pretty blushing maid, having heard of the
song, and thinking she would get it with
some others, stepped into a music store to
make a purchase. One of the clerks,a mod
est young man, stepped up to wait on her.
The young lady threw her veil back say
ing.
"I want 'Rock Me to Sleep.' "
The clerk got the song and put It before
"Now," said the young lady. "I want the
`Wandering-Refugee.' "
"Yes, ma'am," said the clerk, bowing,
and in a few minutes he produced the "Ref
ugee."
"Now, Kiss Me," said the young lady, of
course meaning the song above mentioned.
The poor clerk's eyes popped fire almost,
as he looked at the young lady in astonish
ment, for he was not aware of the fact that
a song by that name had been written.
"Wh—what did you say, Las ?"
"Kiss Me," said she.
"I can't do it; I never kissed a young
lady 'ln my life," said the clerk.
About that time a veil dropped, a young
lady left in a hurry, clerk felt sick and the
dealer lost the sale of some music.
Du. Jamas Rum, an old-huhloned citizen
of Philadelphia, who died a few days since,
Idt In his will a bequest of about one mil
lion of dollars to the Philadelphia Library
Company. This fund is to be applied to
erecting a large building on a lot In South
Broad street, In which Is to be kept a col
lection to be called "The Ridgway Branch
of the Philadelphia Library," in memory or
Jacob Ridgeway and his daughter, Dr.
Rush's wife, from whose estate the money
was.oviginally derived. The hermest Is se

lutd much singular advice to the trustees.
Dr. Rush seems to have possessed a strong
antipathy to works of fiction and to news
papers, and in his will desires that little or
no space ahall be given to thdtn In the li
brary. The legacy is in many respects a
very valuable one to Philadelphia, though
connected with so many absurdities. It
would have been far wiser Mr Dr. Rush to
have disposed of this Immense estate dur
ing Ilia lifetime, instead of leaving it as a
bone fur criticism snd contention In the
hands of his successors.
