A Chatty Letter
From Boston.
Data Hem For.x. — A Happy New
Year to all of you and many of them. I
promieed you en sonnet of my first trip
to Boston eo I will begin at none. Left
Philadelphia no Friday and ou reaching
New York 1 took the Fell River steamer
to Fall River and thence by rail to
bielorfn Buetou, We left New York at 6
p. m. Friday and eteamed slowly ap the
Sound leaving a broad white sheet of
teetbiog foam in our wake. It was
Moira! indeed to the the ligste of the
oily gleaming like millions of stare and
I stood outaide and watched them grow
lees and Mee brilliant and at last lade
away into diffuee light. The new Brook.
lye bridge was a eight to behold, the
oars °ootinnously made it eperkle aid
glitter all along ite entire length- The
wind woe blowing raw and sold en 1 was
anon Riad to go inside where everything
wee comfortable. The plane waoorowded,
atateroome being engaged long before the
vessel Bailed, ea we had to content our-
eelvee with patting iu the night on coach
ee and ohaire. One little lad amused me
daring the night by getting up and walk•
ing abont remarking to the sleep sae
ogee, "I'm glad I am standing up, its
Mier than lying down. Wieh't I could
see the boat go.” We arrived at Fall
River about 6 30 A. no, and there was a
general scramble for the first Boston
train. Two boys eat behind me and one
kept remarking 0e we drew near different
tnwne, "I wonder what plane this is 1"
"Don't yon know ?" eaid the other short-
ly. Again et the next station the Bathe
remark was repeated and again hie
friend said gruffly, "I don't know and I
don't care." A third time the question
came up and the other lad eaid e2 don't
know and I don't care. I don't west to
see a plane till I get bo Boston. ',That le
God's own town." "You evidently don't
like Baltimore," said hie frlond. "Balti-
more after living iu Boston 1 Humph 1"
When Baok Bay station was reached be
seized his suitcase and wan off the or
before it had stopped. "Home for Xmas
I guess," an old lady said and the car
smiled egreeiogly.
It woe about 7 30 when we drew into
S. Boston station and I soon eaw the tall
figure of my friend, Dr, Laws, on tbe
platform, looking eagerly about. We
made the rounds of the station, an
immense building covering 13 aorea of
ground and coating about 514,000,000
Then we harried off to her home where
we found a good hot breakfast awaiting
as to which we did ample joetioe you
may be sure. So tbie was Boston, what
a wonderful plane it always seemed to me.
When a child I read of the wonderful
daring of the Unionists who threw the
taxed tea into the sea, So the first place
we went to wae Doraheeber Heighte, over-
looking the harbor and where e. moun-
ment stands recording the retreat of the
British fleet with 11,000 men before the
oannouade of a handful of Americans
from the Heighte. In the fade of a bit -
Mg wind we made our way to the harbor
and were amply repaid for our walk,
Babday we went to "Phillip Brook's"
ohurah, a quaint old building, built in
shape of a Latin prose. I believe the
denotative work was done by John Le
Fargo. Untortnaately we did not
appreciate the sermon, yon oan hear a
better mermen in Wingbam any day.
The Public Library etande throes the
square from title obarob and is a magnit•
ioent piece of architecture and will be a

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Jnnan KILL= has been elected Chair-
man of the Railway Cnmmiaeion fie
successor bo Hon. Mr. Blair resigned.
There ie a large shore of work out out for
the Oommieafon and not a few very
knotty problems to solve, Thera is
plenby of room for a shaking ap or many
features of these public ntilitiee from the
rut they have been in for many years,
A onsAT revival ofreligion is one of the
noteworthy features of old London at the
preeant:time. Not only the Non•Ooaform-
ieteand Salvation Army but the Habil•
icy and leading clergymen of other
churches are misting, R. A. Torrey
and 0. M. Alexander, both of the U. S„
are the !evangelists and the latter bas
trained a choir of 3,000 voioee to lead the
anteing. From 10,000 to 15,000 assemble
in tbe eveninge. 560,000 have airaadq
been oolleotod to meet the neoeeeary
expenses of the meetings and 525,000
more will be raised. The Evangeliete
expect to remain in London for five
months and eo men interest is
manifested that oolomne are published in
the daily press concerning the services,
Wales bae bed a groat awakening and
the marvel now is that the world's
metropolis ehoald beeo anions about
religions eervioee.
