iDjBlifii iftofitl |iea4hi0. 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 !" In of dent road had the sweep doing A him fairs «loon is left road carries d«jors trade suU.

It has been, R will be, a dwelling-place in all genera tions ! It is your inheritance ! lours are all the promises to the seed of the righteous ! Cast not away your birth right !

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 U In 1 of suU. Do we ask wtiy this is, and some re tailer who ha« »over done any lityre to wards becoming a wholesale merchant than wish he could be one t 4)avs its the odious discrimination of the Railroad Com patty," or some other answers "People would rather go to Philadelphia ; it is a lajrger *Uy ; they eau neo a greater variety of goods uud think they cau get them cheaper." .»,»_«» ^ * Now let us consider these assertions. Remember it is the Penisular trade, tap pedby thq Delà ware, Railroad of which we spout. Does Ibis road dlscritnihafe against Wilmington i tion, we have examined with some care, und we believe we cau positively deny that theré il aby stach : d Ld i nullfttibBi / TjPhere 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 It tnit, tlièn, 1 tlîi ftifilfc • of th ment of the Delaware Railroad Company that Wilmington does not get the Penin sular ttadb, \vbll6-iL 1 offers country mer chants a saving of $1.00 each trip, 50 cents each way, by stopping here, and what is of more cottsemtetiee, gives them This is an interesting <jues elsewhere, 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. our 5. th, a to to of he the ' in I Tue Cotton Suepiv.—English munuCic turers profess to be relieved from tlieir chief burden of solicitude in regard to t he cotton supply, and feel more confidence that hence forth there will be no disastrous fluctuations in the market comparable to thoso of the last few yçftçs.
