Our Evening Hymn. BY JOHN OUTON. - Oh, (is sweet ere evening closes Thus with thankfulness to sing, Though our hopes, like faded roses, To our bosoms sadly cling ; Though we toil no gems possessing, Here our wealth and wisdom lies, For God's greatest, purest blessing From pure thoughts and deeds arise. Would ye know the richest treasure Ever yet by man possess'd 1 Tis the heart, a world of pleasure, Throbbing in a thankful breast ; Come, then, join us, sister, brother, Pass in peace life's fleeting hours, Blest bv blessing one another, Like the dew-drops to the flowers.

A correspondentofthe Living Age, writing from Florence, Italy, thus describes some of the vexatious incidents of a dependence on the mechanics of that city. He says : " In America I might be saved all this loss of time ; but here, where the carpenters have nothing but a red-hot poker to bore deep holes with, (not an auger in all Florence !) what can be expected from" other mechanics? A part of my room is fitted up like a blacksmith's shop, where I hammer through my difficulties as best I may. But you will ask how do the Florentines get on Why they get on as their grandfathers did. They work without tools; and take as much time to do a thing as a k Yankee would require to do it twice or thrice j over.

Among the resolutions adopted at a regular meeting, we find the following: That we will receive the attention of no 11 so styled young gentleman, who has not learned some busi ness or engaged in some steady employment for a livelihood, for it is apprehended that af the bird is caught it may starve in the cage. That we will promise to marriage to no young man who is in the habit of tippling, for we are assured that his wife will -come to want and his children go barefoot. That we will marry no young man who is not a patron of his neighborhood paper, for we have not only strong evidence of his want of intelligence, but that he will prove too stingy to provide for his family, educate his children, or en courage institutions of learning in his vicinity- .in 1 1 - .in 1 1 m ..... The County of Philadelphia, from one ex treme to the other extends about twenty- three miles, and has an average breadth of about five and one-half miles. It comprises one city, seven incorporated districts, five boroughs, and a population of about four hun dred and ten thousand- souls, of which only 121,417 are in the city proper. The city and seven incorporated districts are, to a great extent compactly covered with houses, have the appearance of unity, and contain about three hundered and forty thousand souls.

We arejinformed that the Lackawanna Iron-and Coal Company have concluded a contract to furnish a large quantity of coal, to be delivered in the city of Buffa lo, for the use of steam Boats on Lake Erie the present season.

Through the in domitable cnterprize of Messrs. Scran tons & Piatt, the Lackawanna and Westren Railroad has been opened, and coai can now bo delivered in the city of Buffalo. Never was the difference be tween individual and State enterprise more strongly marked, than as seen in the enterprize of those" gentlemen, and the slow movement of the State, in bnild ing the North Branch Canal. Eighteen months only have passed since the blow was struck on the Lackawanna and Wes tern K. B.

An English lady, whether she be only a gentleman s wite or a duke s does j not despise her household, and even though she has a housekeeper, devotes a portion of her time to this, her true, her j happiest sphere. It is reserved for our republican fine ladies to be more choice than even their monarchical and aristo- cratic sisters.
