K .\ . . From th$ Presbyterian.
Light in the Dwelling.
Stopping for a short time in a village
at the North, during a summer tour, aud
Imviug occasion to need some plain sew
ing doue, I was directed by my humble
washwoman to an old lady, who lived in
* lowly part of the town, in uu upper
chamber, and earned her support by the
needle. On fiuding the poor dwelling, 1
passed by the lower story, which seemed
to be occupied by a number of persons« of
not v.ery çleanly appearance, and reached
a harrow staircase m the back part tit the
building. A small room opened at the
head of the stairs, which wore an aspect
of great neatuess and poverty . An old
carpet covered the floor, 'scrupulously
clean and well-wended. A table, cov
ered with a scanty piece of white cotton,
stood on one side of the room, and a few
books, gave an appcarauce of cheer to
the otherwise somewhat desolate apart
ment. A very small cooking-stove,, well
blackened, added to the look of comfort.
The only occupait was the old lady to whom
I had-been directed. She was «fr css cd in
a faded ealico, very clean ; a plaiu collar,
and a pure white muslin cap bespoke the
purity of her mind and heart. I was
much struck by the dignity of her man
ner, which indicated converse with her
self, and forbade too dose an approach
by others. I hardly knew how to address
her, being a stranger, and feeling an un
usual. respect, which called for unusual
deference under the circumstances. Hofc
evefr, having made known the errand, and
received satisfactory answers, I ventured
to remark, 14 You seem to be alone turn"
Yes," she replied ; " I have lived in
this room thirty years."
The tear started to my eye, and my
heart melted with pity.
" Thirty years alone! and have you no
friends V' tl
" I bad a husband, and an only daugh
ter. It was pleasant to seu her coming
in every night from her work ; for she
used to go out sewing in families during
the day ; but it is a long time since she
died, and I have been alone since ; 1 miss
her very much."
She cast down her glance as she said
this, and I thought I saw her eye glisten ;
but no tear dropped, and the features of
her face remained in their calm dignity.
I was moved with sympathy and. tender
ness. An old woinuu! with naught in
retrospect but sad memories ! Those van
ished loves ! those conjugal and maternal
, endearments I those voices of kindness !
that buoyancy of youth Î those hopes of
life's spring and summer ! the hearthston
of home! all vanished forever! And the
prospect! An open grave! a dark, cold
valley ! a disabled age ! a lonely death
bed! PttfS
born, to live
have a heart full of affectionate yeariiini«,
a mind capable of intellectual gratifica
tions, and imagination, which tho bright
est visions of earth can never satisfy ! and
to be an old, bereaved woman, living alone
in an upper chamber ! . Almost in an ag
ony, I cast about for u refuge for this ship
wrecked one. Was there no loving cun
brace to enfold that aged form ? No strong
arm to guide the feeble step V No heart
to do her reverence ? My eye rested upoi i
the table, and with an unspeakable feeling
of relief, I remarked cheerfully, " I am
glad to see that big Mook on the table ; ?
hope you get some comfort out of that V
44 Yes, indeed, ma'am, Ido! it is all
the comfort I have, and it is enough. I
have a Friend that always sticks close to
nie. I never feel lonely,
oomfort enough !"

'Wholesale Trade.
In his recent address before the Board
of Trade of this city, says the Wilmington
Commercial , Mr, Hugh E. Steele, Presi
dent of the Wiluiiugtou & lteadiug Rail
road Co., alluded to the astonishment he
had experienced many years ago, in seeing
the entire commerce of the Delaware river
sweep past Wilmingtoù without onr people
doing a single thiug to prevent it.
A closer examination wtjuld have given
him much cuuse for astonishment in af
fairs as they exist to-day. Now not only
«loon the .commerce of the Delaware ( what
is left of it) sweep past our city, but a rail
road built iu part by WilmiugUm's money,
carries through our city, past the very
d«jors of our merchants, almost the entire
trade of this »State and the whole Penin

Do we ask wtiy this is, and some re

Now let us consider these assertions.

und we believe we cau positively deny that

is not a station on this road from which a
passenger cannot come to Wilmington fifty
cents cheaper than, he can go to Philadel
phia. In regard to freights it is the same.
We know that the officers of the road have
putttaneclvo* to iioiuctmsiderable trouble
to afford facilities for fruit and other
freights reaching this city, running cars
specially for the purpose so lightly loaded
that they did not pay, .at a time wnen tfifiy
were taxed to the utmost to meet the de
mands upon them for cars to go

what is of more cottsemtetiee, gives them

e inWiage
three hours more time here than they can
have in Philadelphia when they wish to
come up and go back on the same day.
Now let us consider the other objections,
4 4 Philadelphia is larger/' IVuc,.*but store
keepers do not go there to sec how large a
city is, 44 But they, cun see a greater va
riety of goods and think they can get them
cheaper." This brings us tjien to thq gist
of the matter. Why can they see à grea
ter variety ? because we have no large
wholesale stores, where a large and varie
stock' is kept. Why have We not such
stores? 4 ' Because they will not be sup
ported ; because if we do start them tho
mere hauts of the Peninsula will yet think
they cau buy cheaper jn Pltiladelphia and
still go there," is the answci 4 made. -' He
answer, how do you know they will ? If
they arejnsitydecu in the Sfu>gesit^n, and
cau get goods licre as cheaply as in Pliila*
delphia, the advantages we have already
mentioned wilt bring them here. Men
are easily convinced that they can make
more mouey by a change, if it be true.
The business thbn of Wilmington if she
wants this trade is to, prepare herself to
meet its demands, to really sell as low as
Philadelphia, to keep large and Tarred
stocks, and to advertise these feats to the
people through the papers of the Penin
sula. Not merely to advertise but to use
personal solicitation to secure tit is trade as,
Baltimore is succ^sfully doing* and to
keep doing so until attention is attracted,
and presently men will stop here to find if
they can do as well here as in Philadelphia :
they will probably then go on to the latter
city to test thq matter, and if they find the
price? of our merchants as low as .those
'èU&wnerfe, they will save (ime, freight and
passage money, by buyiug hftre.
They cannot be convinqml of this in* a
day, nor possibly, in a year,' but it can be
done by persistance in the course we have
indicated, while Wilmington cannot secure
this trade by the course she is now pur
suing, iu a century.
