It occupies an elevated a ace with main entrencee from opposite dee.

Fully one fourth of the immense assemblage that filled the sanctuary were children An- other fine church is that of St. Mary (Catho- lic) on Broadway St. to which thronged thousands of worshi pere early on Easter morn. St. Paul’s Cat edral is the most fash- ionable and aristocratic church in the city. Immense numbers throng there to hear the superb musical programme at Easter and to admire the lovely floral decorations of the church that day. However, no church in Buffalo has so fine a situation and such chaste architecture as the Metropolitan of Toronto. but sprang beautiful lilies. givate residences, fine churches, ample ulevards and broad pavements overarched by lines of lofty trees. On this street stand three magnificent churches almost side by side. First, Calvary churc (Presbyterian) a handsome and'imposing e ifice of white stone ; next, a Methodist Episcopal of (qua! and similar proportions but of red stone; then Trinity Church (English) a massive buildin of red stone differing from the others én architecture, more ornamented with large circular windows of stained glass fronting the street. Another handsome English church is that of St. John on S-van St... built of white stone and resembling much the Presbyterian and Methodist, and whose Sunday School numbers 650 pupils. The writer witnessed the children's Easter floral service in this church. The altar, tablets, bishop's chair, and reader’s desk ware decorated with garlands of green. Above the altar was a blazing cross. From the bank of _moss which filled the baptismal occupied the lands surrounding the village. In one of their visits to Buffalo they made a raid upon Mr. Rausom’s house in his ab- sence and being denied liquor resolved to carry 06 the little girl Portia. It was with the greatest difficulty that the child was saved through the heroic conduct of Mrs. Ransom and her neighbors. Not only was the child saved from the Indians but lived, rospered, and afterwards became Mrs. ristopher Harvey. In walking up Main 8b., Buffalo, one might easily fancy himself on Yonge St., Toronto. There are similar wholesale houses at the foot of the street near the canal, and similar dis lays of goods on either side of the street, wit its rising slope till you reach the Gen- esee House. north of which are many hand- some private residences and pulic institu- tions. Parallel with Main St., which runs north and south, are Pearl, Washington, Niagara and Delaware streets, the last being the finest in_ the city for_ its magnificent York Le islature authorized aliens to hold land y which law the Holland Com- pany were enabled to take possession of the lands they had purchased, and in the same year the name Bufl'alo was given to Erie. To Joseph Ellicott, more than to any other man in its early history, is said to be due the rapid progress of Bufi'alo. which soon rose from a hamlet to a city. He sur- veyed the land for a city in 1798 and opened up the first wagon-road in Erie County. The story of Portia Ransom is one of the earliest tales told in Buffalo’s history. Asa Ransom, a silversmith, settled in Buffalo, in 1796 with his wife and infant daughter Portia. The Seneca Indians. one of the Bufl'alo is the larger (250,000), the weal- thier, the more democratic of the two ; To- ronto the more aristocratic, with its finer situation, fine harbor, better boulevarded but inferior paved and narrower streets, handsomer lawns, finer architecture, super- ior schools and colleges and University. Toronto, too, has the more romantic and healthier situation. In Tormto the Eng- lish, Scotch, and Irish elements of national- ity largely prevail, while Buffalo seems to have a large German element, which, per haps, may be accounted for by the purchase of the Reservation lands of the Seneca In- dians by the Holland Company in an early iod of the city’s history.

A visit to one of our large emporiums the other day satisfied me that those of us who cannot afford superb tapestries with French Renaissance pat- terns, or brocades of the time of Louis Quatorze, can still drape our doors and win- dows artistically. I was greatly surprised to find that one of the newest, as it is also perhaps one of the cheapest fabrics for heavy portieres, is simply the [no or brown denim used for working-men’s overalls. As it is always darker on one side than the other, one of the easiest means of ornamentation is to cut a pattern out of the cloth and ap- plique it on, wrong side out. Embroidery in outline stitch is also very effective; the pattern should be flowing and arabesque- like, or one composed of trailing vines and flowers. A flax thread is used which does not lose its lustre in the laundry. It makes very elegant table-covers ; being heavy it drapes well, and falls in rich folds. “ This is my busy day."

I climbed up a flight of dusty stairs, turned to the right, walked down a hot, dingy passage-way until I came to a door, and knocked hard. There was no re- spouse. Everything was too sleepy even to make an echo. So I said “ Come in ' to myself and walked in. It was very warm. The windows were open, and the hot air came quivering in from the blistering street, and went around the office in sluggish waves warping the big law books on the maize-cov- ered table. In the corners of the room the cobwebs hung dusty and motionless. A broom and a battered watering-pot stood behind the stove, which was red with rust and stood on three legs and a cobble-stone. Wea with inaction. A solitary cuspidore, half [led with the sawdust of a es, slept be- hind the coal-bcx, where nobe y could get at it. The glass doors of the library hung ajar, and the bunch of keys, half caught, hung in a limp, dissipated way from the look, as though they had tried to get in but fell asleep in the effort. The big flies buzzed lazily about in the air, as though they had ‘about decided to make one more effort to reach the ceiling, and if they missed it that time they would give it up and fall down on the floor. In a very old-fashioned web in a window corner. an old-fashioned spider, in a condition of pitiful destitution, sat by a rent in his den, trying to make n his mind to brace up and get at it and mens it. A slim-waisted wasp crawled about over the old, time-eaten window frame, looking for raw material for her wood pulp mill. All the pens on the green table were corroded and split up the back.

' It is a matter of regret that those who de~ claim most loudly against the inequalities in the distribution of wealth, and are ready with schemes for the more “equal division of unequal earnings " as remedies against suffering, are the ones who seem to have the least appreciation of the positive fact, that most of the suffering which the human race endures is the result of causes which are en- tirely within the province of individual human nature to prevent, and that, there- fore, reformation of the individual is some- thing more important than the reformation of society. Inequality in the distribution of wealth seems to many to constitute the greatest of all social evils. But, great as may be the evils that are attendant on such a condition of things, the evils resulting from anequallty of wealth would undoubtedly be much great- er. Dissatisfaction with one’s condition is the motive power of all human progress, and there is no such incentive for individual exertion as the apprehension of prospective want. “ If everybody was content with his situation, or if everybody believed that no improvement of his condition was pos- sible, the state of the world would be that of torpor," or even worse, for society is so con- stituted that it can not for any length of time remain stationary, and, if it does not continually advance, it is sure to retro- grade. William is very deeply and thoroughly Prussian. He is a living, breathing embodi- ment of all the qualities and lack of quali- ties which, through recisely two centuries, have brought the litt e mark of Brandenburg up from a puny fief. with a poor, scattered population of a million and a half, to the state of a great kingdom, ruling nearly fifty millions of eople, and giving the law to all Europe. 6 is saturated with all the iu< stincts and ideas which has raised this par- venu Prussia to her present eminence, and his character is the crown and flower of these two centuries of might and ruthfulness and spoliation exalted into creed. 0n the other hand, his mother is the best royal product of a totally and fundamentally different civilization. Victoria Adelaide is unques- tionably the broadest, most liberal, and most lovable of all the Guelphs who have been born since Elector George first landed in England. When I say that she is the only one of her family who at present spmpathizes wholly with Mr. Gladstone, I have most simply and fully indicated her disposition and bent of mind. Obviously she can have but little in common with a son who would hang Gladstone offâ€"hand, and who avowedly hates England as the country whence has come all the constitutional nonsense which nowadays limits and hampers kingship. 5.

He talked freely of Waterloo, but usually in a disinterested way, as though it was some~ body else's victory. “Bonnaparte was as olevera man as ever was, but he wanted sense on many occasions. I think his best plan would have been tohave waited for the allied armies to have attacked. Then. to have singled one out and defeated it.’ “At \Vaterloo Bouuaparte had the finest army he ever had in his lifev-full of enthu- siasm. . . . Two such armies, so well l trained, so well oflioeredl It was a battle ‘of giants." It was his nearest approach to heroics. To a lady who asked him to tell her all about the battle of Waterloo, “ \Ve pummelled them,” he said, “ they pummel~ led us, and I suppose we pnmmelled the hardest, so we gained the day." This is almost capped by Mitford’s account of his matter~of-fact way of receiving the conâ€" gratulations of Creevy after the fight. He would not hear of congratulation :â€" “ It was a dreadful business, thirty thou- sand men destroyed, and a dâ€"d near thing." “George the Fourth is no gentleman," he said, “ though an excellent actor of one for ten minutes.
