If we should fancy the device contrived, not merely for a prison, but for the palaces as well, for the cosey fireside and the shoykeeper's corner, for the home of the lonely one out of employ- ment or the noisy fellow astir with the spirit of speculation ; for all the manifestations of modern activity, and conceive it npplied to a whole city, we should find this fancy realized and actually operated in the Hunraxp of to-day, Hero, however, the whisper of our city werld does not merely address itseli to the listening ear of one eager to catch it, and so pass away forever, but by the marvellous perfection of machinery peenliar to cur time it writes itself as if automatically into » permanent record of what was thought by so many individuals in a certain city on agiven day.

Neither is this merely because of the ruin j into which the world of ancient cities bas | crambled away, for such a picture never was drawn, and we doubt if it could be drawn ex- | cept as it is actually done, by each person | contributing his line.
