As a eeuerul rule, two-thirds of tho community, or least that portion who biwe a comiortubio beu tosiccp in aim throe square, meals a day, are not fa miliar with tho learlul pictures of pov erty, in ovory shapo and form, which 100 JOUmailSb Or monu n uuec uuniui-nn tukos them almost everywhere, daily encounter. It would seem Blurtling to tell tho average. Jiow iorkor that as many as seventy persons, of both sexes, occupy alono a double tenement garret on Mulberry street. And when olio is loia mat inirvy iwo lumiuun, uvumujiug four to each, lesido in a four-story ten ement on Bayard street, ho' is npt to bo surprised. Such however is the fact.

In a garret on Thompson street a roportor Ibund a poor woman, with a sick child in her arms, lying upon a bed of rags. Her husband went out seven months ago in search of employment and has not . .. 1 . .

'All alone with her sick cbild.cold and hun gry, and perhaps praying tor death as a relict from tortures almost unendur able, she had -kept her vigil, dreading tho approach of day and fonring the coming ot night, i' v ! -! i' on v andewater street, in a ironi basement, were found a family without food, without furniture, sleeping on tho floor with such articles ot covering as thoir neighbors can spare them. Such arrangements have certain disadvan- tntres. un warm menis meir ooign- bora smother them with kindness, and on cold nights their offorings' are very scanty. Tbi anited agesof thoyoonger hall ol tuli tsmlly give a sura total oi four yoars. In the back basement a woman has been sick in her bed for tho past twolvo months. With death from starvation as well as from disease staring her in tho face she cannot movo, and has to be helped in and out of bod by passers by, whom sho con call to her aid. i . - . As tho reporter was passing by an alley way on Mulberry stroet, leading back to a number of filthy tenements, he saw a woman, a ragpicker, perhaps, bonding ovor a wee mite of shivering humanity that stood half hidden in tho shadow. A little girl, foully clad, whose pnlo Inco took a more ghastly hno from the quivering gaslight across tho pavement.

Krtm the New Vorh 0h.crrrr.j Having seen some ot the European International Exhibitions, or World's Fairs, and having nuido n patient si inly for several weeks of the ouo In Paris in 18G7, the greatest of them ail 1 mi froo to say that the approaching Cen tennial Fair iu Philadelphia promises to oxcol any and overvthintr of tho kiwi, vuui mo mooern worm bus seen. I bis remark will he readilv set down to tho Amarimn bulit of oxuggeration, .,...n. nH , T r , ,i. into grand pronorlions, while distance dwarfs tho same objects. Well, let us spond a few minutes in a rapid survey of what it required a busy but very pleusant duy to see. Tho right man in tho right place is Mr. John Welsh, President ol the Board of Financo and General Overseer of the Centennial preparations, Tho ottlco and headquarter, aro at 904 Walnut Btroct, Philadelphia: Into this olllco I stopped at ton o clock in tbo morning, and banding my card, as a stranger, to Mr. Welsh, ho said after a cordial groeting: "How long do you remain in Phila delphia?" "riro boura and ten minutes. "What have you to do besides the Centennial '!" "Nothing. 1 camo solely to see what you havo dono, and must lenvo the city this aftonioon." ' In a few moments his enrriugo wob at tho door, and wo were oil' to Fair- mount Park. As wo rodo through the t-itj', Mr. Welsh called my attention to its extra ordinary growth : tho City Hall, ot roportioiis, costly Indeed Dul Honestly uilt: ho did not intend to remind me of ovr Court Houso by pointing to his; tbo clusters ol cliurelies and public buildings, inakine a lino show ot vari ous orders of architecture, which re minded mo' of a visit to Philadelphia more than thirty years ago, when I met at tho General Assembly a lawyer from beyond the Mississippi River. Uo said to me: "I have never been East before ; bavo read and learned all that 1 could of tho world from books; have studied Latin and Grook ; but 1 never saw a Gothic building, and do not know, except from pictures' and do- scriptions, tho difference between Cor inthian and Doric stylcsof architecture, will you bo so kind as to point out to mo, as wo walk, the several forms and give mo their names T" l led him to tno oiu i niteii muics Bank and to othor edifices, and rarely have I since then enjoyed moro plcas- uro than in tho ploasur this Intelligent student found in the sight and perusal of Art, familiar to bis imagination, but now for the first time real in his eye. Wbon ho returned to his tnr West homo, he sent me a box ot ancient Indian art, wrought centuries before Philadelphia was invented. In Fairmount Park, including 2,740 acres within tho city limits, but really in tho rural districts, connected with the heart of the city by linos of stroet cars, (wo kundretl and thirtu-tix acres of land have been enclosed with a sub stantial fence. This vast area lies on tho banks of the Schnylkill river, span nod with beautiful bridges' ; tho grounds aro diversified with hill and dale and plain; forests ot lofty trees, gardens and flowors; fountains over flowing; ravines, dells and ploasant walks; and in tho midst of this wide and wonder fully beautiful domain, hava risen, as it by enchantment, groups 4f graceful and magnificent buildings, exceeding in thoir magnitude, convenience, vari ety and architectural cleganco and fitness lor tho purpose, tho preparations made forany international exhibition in Loudon, Dublin, Paris or Vienna. H is impossible to convoy by description an idea of a building, or group of build ings. 1 had no moie correct imiiroiwion ol the' Alhambra oatho Kremlin than a child has, until I saw them. But if yon will lancy yonrsoll wnn air. oisn and your iriend on uoorgc s inn, over looking (ill tbo grounds, with tho twos denuded so that tboy do not hide (as by-and-bj they will,) with thoirdivtner beauty, man's handiwork, you will take in. at one irrund view, iho many palaces of art now shining in tho brightness of a winter sun. For tlioy aro so largely built of glass, that they reflect tho light, while they rocoivo It freely. And first and greatest of all is tho msin building, nearly two thousand feet long and 4(14 feet wido, and covering timity acres of ground. Tho Great Pyramid of Egypt enelosos clevrn. Tho propor tions of Ibis main building aro correct, and tho parallcllogrii,m is the best pos sible lonn tor a houso to live in, or lo store and show goods in. It cuts up to tho best advantage. The Paris Hall was circular, aud it wan a I' much lancy lo arrango tho several countries so us to tmiko a vis'l lo them all equivalent to u trip artmnd the world. Our Amer ican house will have many mansions in it, where, from the liast and the West, tho North mid the South, the people of all nations may como with the works of their bunds, and sit down to Bitioy tho arts of peace. Vi otild to tiocl mat it might be tho harbinger and dawn, not ol Centennial but millennial glory, ben tho nations shall study war no moro. . Near to this is Iho Memorial Hall, a ncrmancnt. cranito odifico. of beautiful proportions, surmounted by pinnacles and dome, tne wnoiei imvuig eorti mw vast sum of $1,500,0(10. This is for tho exhibition of Painting und Statuary. It will be tho most constantly thronged of nil tho buildings during the season. Studies and fountains, and tho loveli ness of nature are nil about it ; the best works ol modorn art will adorn it with in, and make it tbo central and crown ing glory of t ho show. For niter all is said about utility and practical value, tho ornamental and beautiful address tho tastes of tho greatest number, do lighting tho cultured and raising tho ignorant by tho magic of that refine ment that touches the Soul through the siirht ot tbo eyo. And so art becomes n iruo educator, a menus of mood, and when inspired by pure sentiment, it Is a moral aid in tho ) culture of tho peo- pie. Tbo Hull for Machinery Is a stupen dous affair, tho great railroad traverses its central aisle, so that tho huge en gines aro milouded on the spot they aro to cover; and then tho vast Agri cultural building, the most important, booause, above everything elso, ours is aa agricultural tieople whose acres are to teed and clothe the world ; and not lar off is tho Horticultural Hall, and the building which Woman has erected for tba display of fsbrici made, by femals bands. And so I might go from honaeto honse, to the beautiful rewtao.. REPUBIICAI. rants, to tho homos for tho representa tives of various Stules and foreign countries, placed at points to heighten tho picturesque effect of tlio wbolo group ; and when 1 tell you that this is to ineiuuo nnout ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY III II.DlNds. you will perceivo that it makes a rural city, a city of glass, in tho midst of woods and meadows, filled with the choicest works of man from all Iho kingdoms and countries of tlio globe. I'o walk through all tho aisles and take a look at tbo objects in each ono oi iiicso buildings, is to travel SFVENTY-TWO MILES.

Tlio arrangements, appointments, and rules, so fur ns they aro developed, appear to bo as wiso, fair, complete nnd perfect as American ingenuity, aided by European experience, can prorido, and the prospects indicate a pecuniary, national and moral success to justify ull the expenditures of money, tinio and labor which so gigantic an undertaking has demanded and secured.

Tlio material constitutes tbo things that aro to bo seen, but tho unseen is eternal, and thoreforo is something higher and better. 11)0 Itcligious clement in the nation has not yet rep resented itseir hero in tit proportion. Tbo Educationul is fur behind. Even tho rrcHS is not properly expressed. The American Biblo Society has taken spneo ami is putting up a caso tor tuo display of its mighty work. Princeton Collogo has nrrangod to exhibit a copy of each printed look from the hands of her sons. Oilier societies and in stitutions will' do similarly. Tho Presbyterians aro eroding a statuo of Dr. W'ithcrsnoon, tho only minister of the Jrospol who signed tho Declaration of Independence. Tho Publication Boards of all names should unito and make this department both brilliant and Btiggcstivo. No other nation owes moro than ours to religion and educa cation. Wo should commemorate our grotltndo by exhibiting evidences of their agencies. Sach displays will also bo porused by foreign eyes, and tho lessons repeated in distant climes.

Aim India and Burmab and the Isles of the Sea will have thoir delegates In tho Park, illustrating in dwellings of thoir own, tho modo of life peculiar to thoir several lands. Into thoso associations should be brought tho Influences of that enlightened religious sentiment which, bv the means ol public instruc tion in tho 8chool, tho Church and tho Press, has made tho American people what it is, and without which it would now not bo. or. havinir a name, would bo nothing more than tbo Republics of nouiu anu central America, it ib aa demonstrable as tho fifth proposition of tho first book of Euclid's Geometry, that tho progress and power of the I luted States aro duo lo evangelical Protestantism, and tho Centennial lit erature will illustrato and establish it. If no ono is allowed to enter tho gates on the Lord's day ; If dealers in intoxicating drinks and drugs are ex cluded from tbo premises, and prevent ed from making our national vico a part of tho international oxhibition ; if wo thus set an examine ol rovorenco for these principles of morality and virtue that lie at the basis of our in dependence, and havo boon tho cloud of our protection by day and our pillar of firo by night for ons hundred years, then will tho Exhibition be a jewel in tho diadem of ovory one who has had a hand in its accomplishment. The Managers aro doing tho very beBt they can to guard tho magnificent enter prise from the taint of moral infirmity. P.0 standing liar win no anowca within the grounds; in the Machinery building thoro will be five cafes in which no malt wines or oilier spiritu ous liquors will bo allowed, ill the main buildlnglonr cotes in wnicn incro will bo no spirituous liquors; In the Airriculturnl building as Tot uut one has been determined on, and that is restricted to the "golden" wine of Cal ifornia. Tlio restaurants oro' without other than tho general restriction of no standing bar. They aro all in special buildings erected by their pro prietors. Tho managers have boon varv desirous of having ono or misre first-class temperance restaurants, 4if us ;it Afli.v had un npplieation. Perhaps this notico will inspire some ono cspo ble anil desirous ot keeping one. I did not preach a sermon to Mr. Welsh. Wo were too busy ill sight seeing to give any time to preaching.

APPEARANCE OF THE THIEVES. , On Monday afternoon (Feb. 7th) two strangers passed through TJniontown, driving a sorrel horse with open buggy, and proceeded to Elimsport. On thoir way up to tho villago they mado in quiry ubout Henderson dc Harbors mill, in the gap, it any -one wished to trado heroes. At the residence of John Haines, where they stopped and wero treated to dinner, they also made care ful inquiry about the prioo of clover seed, alleging that they wero anxious to purchaso a certain quantity. Mr. Hainos took them to bis barn and showed them about fifty bushels ot seed that be had in a bin. They did not make a purchaso, but soon after wards started for tho village of Elims- fiort. After they bad proceeded as itr on tho way as tho houso of Daniel Hobst, one ol them got out of tho bug gy, and looking in his barn discovered somo cloverseod. They then went to tho farm-bouso of Mr. Persons and ased if they could not leave their horso and buggy there for a few days, as they wanted to go to Collomsvillo, whero they had some businoss to trans act He told them that bo would keep tho horso for them. STEALING THE SEED. After leaving Person's thev started uown inoroau 10 tne uirecuon oi r-iiiun- I -I .1 1-1 - At port. On tho way they stopped at Mr. Dougherty's tor supper. Ho asked luem whether thoy hod not driven past his place a short timo before, but they declared that it must bavo been somebody clso. Aftor partaking ot supper they started for Mr. Hobst's, where they succeeded in stealing ten bushels ot bis cloverssod, which ihoy carried away from tho barn and placed under a largo treo near by. 1 ney then proceeded to the barn of Mr. Forosman, where thev stole a fine black horse, and then tboy camo down to Mr. Jacob Marshes, whore they Hole a one bay horso, and harness for the two, and bis wagon also. Having secured a good team tboy hurriedly drove to John Harnes s, whore tboy at onco loaded tho cloverseod and started in the direc tion of Lcwisburg to disposo of thoir booty. THE PURSUIT. I It fortuualelv happened on Tuesday morning that Mr. Haines intended to commence threshing oats, and a num ber ot workmen wero on band cany for business. The moment the farmer wont into the barn bo discovered his granory broken open and his clovor socd gone. Ho at once suspicioncd the parties that bad bocn there the day before. An examination of the road showed that tho thieves had a wagon, and that they had driven in a certain direction. Homos wero at once pro pared and Iho pursuit commenced by the men who intended to thresh grain. Below riow. Columbia the tbioves found that they were hotly pursued, ben they abandoned their stolen booty in tho road and took to the woods. Tbo horses, wagon and clover- seed wero secured by the pursuing party, who roturnod with tbo proporty to Spring Garden mill. As tho horses wero very much exhausted from be ing ovor-drivon, they left the seed with sir. showers to lighten tno load. II the thioves had hud two hours moro timo thoy could havo reached tho storo of Mr. batcstnan, who would have purchased rho booty without asking any questions, as ho wanted clovcrseea badly. Route of the thieves, i After being compelled to abandon tbo stolen property so suddenly in tho road, tho thieves stnrtod back as rap idly as possible to secure the horso and buggy which they had left in tho caro of Mr. Persons, above Elimsport. But they did not get back as fast as they bad intended, on account of the report of tho great robbery having been al ready circulated through tho settle ments, and squads of men wero out in all directions watching for them. A bout IIitco o'clock thst allernoon six mon started on horseback to search for tho horso and buggy, which they found at Persons'. Tbo Constnblo of Gregg 1 township got on the track ol tbothiovos and followed them along the mountain past D. lloiiscrs. At ono timo he ennui in sight of them, when they again took to tbo woods with all possible baste and wero soon lost sight of. Be tween four and fivo o'clock on Wednes day morning they ventured out of tho woods, approached tho dwelling ol .Mr. Houser and asked for something to eat. Ho aiiHpicioned that they wore the horse-thieves, told them so, nnd refused to furnish them with anything to eat. This so alarmed them that they started for tho woods again and traveled in tho direction of Elimsport. Their ronto was along tho foot ol the mountain till they cnino opposite tho residence of Jumes Williamson, whore they camo into 'tho road which leads past Henry Schoolcy's barn. two more horses stolen, Hero tho scoundrels baited a mo ment for consultation as it were. When thev seemed to roali.o tho extreme danger in which tboy wero of being captured, ns tho wholo neighborhood was aroused, iney- necauio uosperaio and entering Mr. Schoolcy's barn, stole two fine horses, and mounting them, doubtless thought they could ndo up to Mr. Person's rapidly and secure the linmn and timrrsw thev bad lcf in his earo before tbo intelligence of their daring exploits could reach that part of tho settlement, nut uniortunaiciy for tbem a brother of Mr. Schoolcy was up, and bearing., a noise, at once proceeded to the barn, when he dis covered them In the act of taking tlio horses.

But these evil doers woo again doomed lo disappointment.

Perhaps bo writer that ever lived became to such an extent tho target of malevolent and vituperative attack (on the part of cotcmpornry scribblers), as Alexander l'opo. It would seem, in deed, that on tbo advent of this illus trious poet, each and all of tlio envious and envenomed fraternity wo allude to and who afterwards became im mortalized in bis Dvnciad cherished tbo most invelerato feelings of ani mosity towards the youthful bard, and simply for tho reason, ni it would seem, that, despairing to emulato,mucb loss to oqual, his youthful performances in tho way of poetry, thoy inconti nently and unanimously sank into a feeling ot envy, out of which rapidly sprang thoso malignant and rancorous lcchngs so characteristic ot the ignoble mind. Among tho most conspicuous ofPopc'sassailants.and by conscqncnce the most eligible candidates for a place n his Jruneiail, wero .Dennis, Gildon, Theobald, Wclstcd, Collcy, Cibbcr,4c. Dennis and Gildon were, without ex ception, in tho matter of puro black guardism, unrivalled as tbo rcvilcrs of l'opo ; and simply for tho reason given by thcmselvos, that "be had a con tempt f'or their writings," and that his own bad found too much success with the public." On this account, and for no other reason, it would scorn Den nis calla him "a litttlo affoefed hypo crite ""a great lover of falsehood" and anrilics to him sundrv snnellations still worse pronouncing his " Windsor roresf and "f.ssay on Criticism, (both written when a mere boy), tbo former " a wretched rhapsody, oosouro, ambiguous, affected, temerarious, and barbarous;" the latter "crude and abortive"-"-" his expressions absurd his numbers harsh and unmusical his .uj ' wu. "'"", such critics aa Addison, Dean Swift, -ItrniM 1 i , -i a. 1 - n I Ammnn "iA whi In Dr. Garth, Prior, and the rest, were each lavish in praise of tboso produc tions. We might go on quoting overy sort of scurrilous epithet (perpetrated under too guise oi criticism aimed at the young poet by the above array ot scribblers, with the view of "crushing out" his poetical aspirations but our labor, in such direction, would be ill bestowed. We will conclude thoso re marks, thoreforo, with a fow linos from Mr. Pope, rath jr concisely descriptive, as they seem to us, of his diabolical slanderer and calumniator: 8boald aennla publl.h yoa had stabb'd your tmiber Lampoon'd yonr meaarca, or debauoh'd yoar mother i t Say wbat reroute oa Dennl. eea ha had 1 Too doll for laughter, for reply too mod Oa one ao poor yoa aaanat tike the law.

A correspondent writing from the Peaks of Otter to the Lynchburg ( Va.) jVnri, confirms tlio apprehensions ex pressed by that papor ol a volcanio eruption. He says: "Now, we don't know how you camo to find it out, but the fact is that we are having an awful time of it It isn't pleasant to havo your crockery all smashed, your dog scared and your cat run off. Our the ory is that tbo Peaks of Otter is an ex tinct volcano, and thoro are many con vincing argnments in support of this position. To illustrato : A few years ago Dr. Von Eichburg, of Germany, w-ho spent moro than fifty yoars in studying volcanic phenomena, and an alysed many of the stones lonnd about Mount Hecla and Mount Vesuvius, visited tlio Peaks of Otter and Flat-lop mountain, and averred that tho stones there found were identically tho same In character as thoso found in tho vicinity of tho volcanoes. Ho went even further, and said that tho Peaks of Otter was liable at any time to sub merge I he town of Liberty with an uvuluHcho of lavn. Pcoplo laughed at tho Doctor then, but they don't smile worth a cent latsly. The truth is, that things hero aro, in tbo language of a well known tlurkey, 'awful onsar t in.' Tho shock which shook up Lynch burg ana waitea mo sinners 01 in at wicked burg to a sense of their ruined condition, not only mado things tremble around thero, but has kept up its nonsensical gyrations ever since. Ever- night somebody imagines the 'top rock' is tumbling from its dizzy height on the peak ; tlio storo is closed, tho distillery deserted, and ovorybody wears a sanctimonious face. The vibra tions arising from this singular phe nomenon are understood to bo from south to north, and thero is scarcely an hour thst thoy aro not felt, the severest shocks being alwayi at night. - s Not in Tin Family.

DOX'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR SELF. Tho Journal of icnM snys : To ro irain or recover health, persons should T,0 relicvod from all anxiety concerning diseases. Tho mind has powor over , tll0 ijoj... j.'or , to thinlc ho j i,ng , ,jiHCnH0 wji often produce that disease.
