of this institution being that directly the
acrmony of the last election is over, the

"Warm weather. the sun strikes upon our
heads at this open window as though its
rays were concentrated through a burning
glass; but the day is in its zenith, and the
season an unusual one. Was there ever
such a sunny street as this Broadway!
The pavement stones are polished with the
tread of feet until they shine again; the
red bricks of the houes might be yet in
the dry hot kIns; and the roofs of those
omnibusses look as though if water were
poured on them, they would hiss and

with gaudy hoods and linings!-The young
gentlemen are fond, you see. of turning
down their shirt collars, and cultivating
their whiskers, especially under the chin;
but they cannot approach the ladies in
