THE CITY. RECOLLECTIONS OF A PHILADELPHIA. JOURNALIST.—The deceesse of air. William H. Crump, referred to in our editorial column on Tuesday, revives same 4).1141t riminissenses, assodiesod adib his nay sad labors. Many of these relate to incidents that are in teresting only in eo far as they develop the ham•drum life of a Journalist in a provincial city. Mr. Cr p's long colniecitiru With Philtuictnblit Journals threw hint into CotninuniCation with Most of the public men of the time, but such was the even balance of his character that we do not ever recollect to have seen him unduly elevated or depressed. Nor was he ever weaned, by reason of the variety and excitement or his VeleiltiOlb from the more re• tired and sequestered pleasures of hiS home and family. Indeed, lee oriented Camden for hie place of residence, that he might place a river betsseen his business and his home.

In all those years, he penned no doubtful sentiment or intern- Mete eentetiCa). terlifinlOne Was he in theft@ reePecia that he avoided reference to CentroYrrieit topics, how , ever current. In this way, hie articles somedmos lacked the freshness of those of lees careful editors, but were never meretricious or ill-judged. We have him still in mind, mated in the dingy room of the Inquirer, amidst heaps of exchange newspapers, with a meagre editorial libre y nailed to the wall, and clossts opening up on eve ry side, filled with no end cf literary rubbish, Congress atonal documents, old files, and 'ducks of letters. Here Mr. Crump wrote his leaders, upon eoft. mauled paper, and in lead pencil. His chirouraehr was plainer than a signboard, and approximately large. tie invariably read his articles aluud, utter they were written, and carefully corrected them. Va grant rats and mice used to peep out of crevices, and flit across the floor, and scarcely lees vagrant inter lopere dropped in ii opportunely to solicit "puffs" for charities, conceets, Sic., but none of these disturbed the repose of lar. Crump, who wail a mild of patience and politeness, as the most invetei ale a bores" must testify. A regime less Bitable succeeded him Abstract themes were preferred by Mr Crump, as, for instance, "Tole ration," "Advice to Young Men," dc.

Authors found him a paragon of kindliness. He was seldom known to con demn a book, save upon the ground of immorality. He believed his vocation to be anything but that of a cynic, and he lightened the duties or the censor, so that he was always the enconrager of the young, the anxious, and the diffidtnt. Such men deserve reenvaibrance, for in the dusty, sod often unscrupulous, v, mks of journalism few men su maintain their integrity. He was one 01 the most methodically Industrious of journalists.

TDB lIICKSITE" FRIENDS AND THE WAR.—At a recent meeting of the Representative Oom mitts° of the Bicksite Friends, an address relative to their belief on the subject of war was approved, directed to be signed by the clerk, and printed tor distrihntion. The address, after inviting the members of the society to a renewed consideration of their. Christian principles, caile especial attention to their ancient testimony against all wars and warlike measure as one of the great fun. a mental principles of the religion of Jesus Uhritt is love— love to God and love to all men. The Friends say the peaceable principles which they have ever professed they believe to be the principles of Uhri,t and Ins kingdom. Dvit the profession of principles, however true in teem selves' can avail very little until they come to be exem plified in a 71111103 daily life and conduct and are made the rule of his intercourse with his fellow- men. lieligion, iu order to be useful, must be practical. If we fail to walk consistently with the obligations of our high pee fession we shall appear as hypocrites. The address also says the adaptation of the peace principle is universal. It applies aline to individual man and to all communities of men. It roaches far and wide, and seeks to embrace the whole human family_ It is not designed to be circumscribed by sectarian limits. We, therefore, who have made an open profession of this principle of peace, and who have claimed to hold con scientious scruples against war and wailike measures, slit nut look well to our smesliug, lest we tell, and in ag dying necoomomumbling•tnocks in the way or inners The question is often asked, says the address, what would you have us to do when attacked by an assassin, or when our Government is assailed by an enemy. The answer given is that, When a man's ways please the Lord, Re maketh even his enemies to be at peace with Rim," and that Lie who commands the winds and waves, and they obey, will also, at a proper time, command the infuriated passions of wicked men, and they, too, will also obey and be atilt It is admitted, however, that evil sometimes appears to be perc.ist,4 to pro - rail ever geed, azoi the yr/Quint iv Ily press the righteous; but why these things are permitted, or for what end, they think it is unnecessary to inquire, being satisfied that the ways of the Lord are right.
