TO the poorest loafer that ever supped shrtless.

to spend half year in as it is, Cowans Horse Ba-
zaar is full of interest
You turn out OF Broadway, along Grand to Crosby
street. Iousee number Of carriages OF all sizes,
prices, and characters-for a carriage has charac-
ter-ranged along the side walk-this Is Cowans
Horse Bazaar
You see that middle aged man--hat looks like
lean and hungry Cassius seldom out Of his
breeches pocket-he was broker in Wall street. He
Is broker IN many respects He seduced young
lady in Connectlcut-broke her mothers heart and
broke off the connection-he broke in his business
set up asulkey before ne could driye-horse broke
into gallop-broke shafts-broke drivers head
Horse is to be sold today young colt is breaking
for the broker.
Mark that dapper little fellow in dark green frock,
smooth chin, and hair in nnglets He married the
dark-eyed daughter of old H, fortnight since

tOwn-hs wife died short time slnce-hc sells his
pair Of carriage horses todayhe has note Of $500

would not raise browns enough to pay principal and
interest
Look at that man with hard slate colored coun-
tenance-his hair is grey but not with gnef''-the
world ways well with him-thoHgh his eye is hollow
and his check saow-he began life by adopting
Shakspeares advice, put money in thy purse, and
he has accumulated fortune, all in spece-he is a
hard case and an advocate Of the hard money sys-
tom he attends every horse race, and is everlasngly
specializing in stock, not stocks.
But the sale begins. Cownn light and agile as the
beautiful Miss Nelson, and as we'll formed in his limbs
and well put together as that lady, leaps lightly in
to the saddle, strpt to the Shirt yet looking ,celt
dressed and trots beautiful bay horse round the
arena.
Now for burst of eloquence from the auctioneer-
no such thing-he is as unpoetic, common place,
as the pulpit he stands in:
"Thats boss, gentemen-how much for un r.
"Pll gle cool fifty" says a broken down dandy
Of fifty years standing. I" hundred is bid for him
before you, sir" says Cowan Indignantly. "Look at
this beast gentlemen-hes picture" And it was a
psture, both horse and nder-Cowan looks picture
on horseback, yets he elegantsand graceful-no stiff
ness-no SLOUGH in his sitting. He's all there, and
whether trotting out" as a tiger, showing off as
a masler-drving a dandy
refining as roads, or turning as teamster, he is
perfectly at home at ease.
The sale proceeds-eyes brghten-hearts OPEN

the look of your breeches knees"
Eyes and that 'oss you're on says his prayers
VERY often by the look Of his knees"
"He never fell down in his life-thats all owing to
the pressure-he could get nothing else 10 eat and
therefore began to bite the har of his knees"
"How unnotural.
