att CI,one-- M ystcry OF the Future.
One of the most remarkable localities of New York
is very respectable looking, loafer sort OF tavern
called the Broadway House. situated at the ntersec-
,ion of Broadway and Grand street, on the north
east corner and at short distance from Canal
street.
On entering this curious place. you perceive large
round table, covered with newspapers, some torn,
some nol-green Venetian blinds arranged over the
apartment, so as to form alcoves-and long count
err behind which the brandy, gn wine, crackers,
and very civil and very polite bar keeper, who, If
you ask for "nip'' will give you singer II Tor
"drnk," will give you brandy and water, you
handing over to him. in all cases. the proper value In
shinpastcrs.
This is the lower apartment of this singular and
original looking locality.
The most mysterious place under it's roof is,
however the up pair of stairs, dark, dirty
gloomy apartment, badly lighted, tolerably vent-
lated and filled with singular things and sights. In
this room, for years or more, there has met
very extraordinary body of plain, decent respectable
men, who have been called in times past sometimes
nationals then republicans, then wings, then any
thing About two three years ago, the spectators
of Wall street, having generally located themselves
up town, sent one day some scouts into Broadway
House, aad discovered very excellent nest which
to lay their eggs and get them Matched without
any trouble to themselves The celebrated Doctor
Chabert said Of love and matrimony-"I am dc
cuckoo make not de nest myself find it made
soft and nce-so put de egg in it-dats ALL" So it
Is with the spectators of Wall street. They are the
cuckoos-they found a nest in Broadway House, and
they have put all sorts of eggs and bubbles into
that ever could originate i'll fertile brains. The most
recent batch of new laid eggs is the following:-

Oh how long TO meet with some young heart
Whose thoughts and wishes accord with NINE
In all It's hopes and fears to bear part,
And round my youth in holy iondness twine.
Some peLsve gr, whose elevated soul
To lowy musings never yet gave place;
From whose rich eyes the lights of passion roll,
And spread the he aven of feeling DER the face.
To lay my aching head upon her lap,
And kiss the bursting weakness rem my eye;
Her white arms around me fondly wrap,
And softly whisper that for me she'd die
To guide my hasty feelings when they err,
And wean them gently to the path OF right;
Toteach me 10 conhde nay cares 10 her,
Aud on her bosom lull those cares al night.
To be my sole and sacred earthly friend,
The one TO cling now all the rest are fed;
To hear my last appealing prayer ascend,
And sigh her own above my Wondering bed.
