Therefore emigration is leading its quar ter of a million now annually into the more distant fields of the British empire, an empire extended beyond the nominal shadow of the British Crown. In new homes, but all made such by Anglo-Saxon enterprise, amid new mountains, and on the green banks of new and majestic rivers, these annual detachments of the great army of civilization are sitting down to create at once domestic plenty for themselves, and fresh sources of industry and wealth for the brave old mother country. "As our population thus diffuses itself on all sides into the fields and forests of God's plenty, and at the active centre better principles of social economy are recognized, as they are every day becoming recognized--then for holidays. "But when the people do find leisure and hearts for holidays, they will be such holidays as the world never yet saw. We are no longer the same people as our ancestors were. They were great children, and could leap and laugh, and play with hobby-horses; but we have read and thought, and the poorest artisan has now more refined taste and intellectual wealth than a king had of old. In the words of one of them: 'Ay, they are thinking-at the frame and loom, At bench, and forge, and in the bowelled mine.' been waiting their arrival for a thousand years. To carry the country people, on the contrary, to the towns--to the sight of the cheerful, happy crowds, rich shops, noble buildings, and galleries of painting and statuary; to zoological gardens and scientific spectacles, full, to them, of the en chantment of wonder. "Do we talk of impossible things? The cheap trains already make such things within the reach of every man, woman and child, that can get but a single day, and a few shillings to spend on it, in the year. On one day last summer, seven thonsand people visited, by means of an excursion train, the splendid house and grounds of the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth, in the Peak of Der byshire; and every day there, and at the old hall of Haddon, and at numbers of noble halls all over the country throughout the summer, the coming and going of the people is like the visiting of a fair. "Better times are coming, when these things shall be still more within the reach of every one of our fellow-countrymen; for they are not only awaking to a knowledge and a taste for these things, but they are laying up fruits for their own purposes. The alarm that some time ago was felt on the subject of popular education, lest knowledge should spoil good servants, and destroy the spirit of industry in the laboring masses, has reWhile the people "Then, our holidays must be holidays of a high-ceived an amazing answer. er stamp. There must be music, and dance, and sport, for youth and glad hearts; but there must be more--there must be a mixture of the intellectual in our pleasures. We must have books, and talk of matters of mind, and sights of works of art as well as of the works of nature, to give to our holidays a charm which, though it will be fit for a philosopher, shall thrill through the soul of the working man like the first rapturous outburst of his marriage bells. We must have a preparation for the holidays that are coming. We must have those public walks and gardens that are talked of for our large towns. We must have that £10,000 that is lying in the treasury, voted by Parliament years ago for that very purpose called for by public-spirited men of our towns, and thus employed. We must have in each of these gardens a public building--the people's house of recreation. They shall find a dancing-hall, a coffee-room, a reading-room, and a conversationroom. The people in every large town of Germany have such a house--their Harmonie-where they come together to enjoy themselves, and do enjoy themselves in a manner that a prince or a princess might be proud to share in. were ignorant they continued in destitution. What they gained they spent in a drunkenness that has now nothing like it in existence. But while they have been acquiring knowledge they have also acquired a great capital, and have actually laid up in savings banks upwards of £30,000,000 of money! "And then, for the enjoyment of all these delightful pleasures, in which not only physical health and excitement, but intellectual tastes unite, for which the people are daily preparing themselves, what a world has science opened! Think of the steam-boat and steam-train, ready to bear away their thousands to the very scenes where they would wish to be. To carry the peo "This is a social phenomenon such as all the ages of the world before have not produced. That is the effect of the industrial and economical stimulus of knowledge on the people. That has come, and the holiday times will come. And still further, the spirit of improvement has been met by a fitting spirit in high quarters. Our excellent Queen has thrown open Windsor, the most royal of all royal palaces in the world, to the free and unpaid entry of all her loving subjects. The royal example, as we have seen, has been emulated by the nobility, who have thrown open their parks, their gardens, and their fine old picture galferies, like their royal mistress, to the feet and the eyes of those who have so long fought, worked and suffered for the maintenance of the stately glory of those things. These are great forebodings of the future holidays of a great and educated people; and this lovely isle of ours, with its rivers and mountains, its sweet fields and villages, its cities and ancestral halls, its palaces and its monumental churches, shall open up the world of its delights to a people worthy of beholding them, and by that very communicativeness of its beauty shall sink deeper and deeper into the heart of their love."

EMANUEL LYO for the purpose of destroying insects. I do not find it to contain anything deleterious to health, what might be considered poisonous to the human species; but it is very destructive to insects, wher ever they are forced to inhale the fine particles or dust occasioned by throwing the Powder forcib in places where they frequent.

EIGHT FIRST PREMIUMS-SILVER MEDALS Awarded at the Great Fairs in Boston, New-York, and Philadelphia, CAN BE SEEN AT M. A. & S. ROOT'S GALLERIES, 363 Broadway, cor. Franklin st., N. Y., & 140 Chestnut st., Phila. ADMISSION FREE TO ALL. THE MESSES. ROOr having yielded to the many urgent solicitations of their numerous friends to establish a branch of their CELEBRATED DAGUERREOTYPE GALLERY in this city, have been engaged for some time past in fitting up an ELEGANT SUITE OF ROOMS AT 363 BROADWAY, COR. FRANKLIN ST., where they shall be most happy to see all their numerous friends, as also strangers and citizens generally. The acknowledged high character this celebrated establishment has acquired for its pictures, and the progressive improvements made in the art, we trust, will be fully sustained, as each department at this branch is conducted by some of the same experienced and skilful artists that have been connected with it from the commencement. The pictures taken at this establishment are pronounced by artists and scientific men unrivalled for depth of tone and softness of light and shade, while they display all the artistic arrangement of the highest effort of the Painter. Citizens and strangers visiting the Gallery can have their miniatures or portraits taken in this unique style, and neatly set in Morocco Cases, Gold Lockets or Breastpins, Rings, &c., in a few minutes. Heretofore an almost insurmountable obstacle has presented itself to the production of family likenesses, in regard to children. The Messrs. Root are happy to state that through an entirely new discovery of theirs, this difficulty has been overcome, as the time of sitting will not exceed two or three seconds in fair, or ten to fifteen seconds in cloudy weather. N. B.-LADIES are recommended to dress in figured or dark materials, avoiding whites or light blues. A shawl or scarf gives a pleasing effect to the picture. FOR GENTLEMEN.-A black or figured vest; also figured scarf or cravat, so that the bosom be not too much exposed. FOR CHILDREN.-Plaid, striped or figured dresses, lace work. Ringlets add much to the beauty of the picture. The best hour for Children is from 11 A. M. to 2 P. M. All others from 8 A. M to 6 P. M. Jan.12. |
