FIRST OF A SERIES OF ARTICLES. BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. There are those who call New York a City of Destruction. There are others to whom It seems as much the Celestial City as that to which Mr, Bunyan's Pilgrim progressed after so many trials and tears. Sometimes we may travel from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City by simply taking a walk around q the block, letting the sun disperse the mists of pessi- mism from our souls and yielding to the soothing influ- ence cf our soft sea-laden air. But, generally speaking, the journey is much more difficult, and it is only after we have fallen, like Ohris- tian, into the Slough of Despond; have emerged from GREELEY=. 1S it, to hesitate between the straight road up the bill of Dificuky and the easier paths that lead to Danger and Destruction; have passed through Vanity Fair; have been taken in the Fiatterer’s Net; have sojourned in Doubting Castle, that we reach the Enchanted Ground whica reveals to us that the City of Destruction and the Celestial City are one and the same.

She was bending over one of the rosy azaleas when the noise of Mrs, Brown's entrance caused her to look up. One glance at the matron's wintry countenance, at the frown, like Permanent tuck between her brows, which looked like a useless provision of nature for broadening a mind that had remained narrow, and the room Srew as raw as the March day outside. “I'm sure I don't know why that girl put you in here,” was the matron’s Srecting. “This room ts not intended for inmates at all. t's the directors’ room. They have a meeting to-morrow and I don't know how they'd feel if they knew anybody used it as a re- ception room. I've read Mrs. Jones's letter and there's a bed vacant in No. 8 on the third floor.
