New IIorEL--DEy STREET HORSE
Among the many Ia &c and elegant
hotels, newly opened inNew York-and
the number OF them now open, besides
those which are in course of erection,
makes us fear that New York wi | soon
be like Paris, city OF hotels the Dey
Street House promises 10 hec5me one of
the most popular, under the excellent
proprietorship of Mr.. A. Merritt, former
ly ofthe Commercial Coffee House, and
Mr.. VIM. NJ Langley, formerly Of Bos-
ton, both Of them gentlemen whose ex-
perlcnce and qualifications are rot un-
known to the travelling public.
The Dey Street House is brick build.
iny, with handsome iree-stone front,
six stories high, and covers two large
lots.-It contains one hundred rooms,
with accommodations for lodging one
hundred and fifty persons. The sleep.
ing apartments are well ventilatcd-a
desldera:um that will be appreciated
by Tavelers-and each one is supplied
with Croton water, and very neat con-
veniences for bathing. The House is
furnished throughout in the modern
style ofclegance and richness, and the
whole interior arrangement is equal. as
regards the combination of the two
great requisites in hotels, convenience
and comfort, to any house Of the kind in
the city.
The House being conducted on the
European plan, so called, the Proprietors
have connected with it a spacious
restaurant, where those who wish can
obtain meals AT all hours, and be turn-
ished, in as good II style, with the same
delicacics tha, the largest hotel table
can suppIy.--Thcy have also fitted up
splendid bar, where the choicest wines
and liquors of all kinds wi II be kept for
their guests.
We would recommend the Dcy Street
House, ricularly to busi 'ess men, visi-
ing the city, for its central !oca,ion-ii
being convenient to the principal rail-
road and steamboat stations, besides in
the very centre of the business part Of
the cty.-Thc proprietors are fully
competent and will, We are sure, make
it an agreeable and pleasant home for
all persons who favor them with their
company.

THEi BALLAD OF "THE STICK

he beheld another boy sit ing alone
not eating, but crying because he hat
no money to buy candy. WIN ina
noble generosity which has ever d'stii,
guished Pierce, he put his hand in h'
pocket, drew forth cent, bought sticl
of candy and gave il t. the boy Gov
Steele.
II was poor unhapp, boy,
All sad he wept, alone,
Ills head WAS resting on his hand,
lie sat upon stone.
Not far removed, three other boyr,
With sweetest mouths and smiles,
Were sucking each stick apiece
OF candy all the while.
II was a s,ranger-man Who passed
lie saw the mourning lad,
And kindly turning to him said,
"What makes you feel so bad -
"l'm poor, indeed, I'm yer, poor,
No candy can buy,
My comrades taste the pleasant sweets,
While ! sit here and cry"
Twas then noble impulse seized
Upon that stranger-man,
And thus he spake, 4" cheer up, m, lad,
I'll help you what l can"
Then quickly down his pockets depths
His gene, ous hand he thrust,
And forth he drew shining cent
From out pile Of dust.
Then to candy shop he sred
With grave and reverend haste.
For he, like every prudent man,
Nor pence nor time could waste.
The deed was done, the candy bought,
The money down was pail,
The boys bright eye and watery mouth,
Were eIoquence unsaid.
But eagerly he grasped the stick
And placed j, to his lips;
Not halt so sweet the flower from which
The Ice the nectar sips.
All, noble act, ah, noble man!
How blessed twas to give;
This story, like the widows mite,
To thy renown shall live.
More glorou, than conqucsts great,
In camp and forum won;
Far louder this shall speak thy praise
Than all else thou hast done.
Now learn a lessen from this tale,
Who gives a boy a cent
To buy stick Of candy with,

the articles manuiac tured there would
scarcely be credited by one not a visi'er

saw many works that could not be sur
passed in Bohemia or any where eise in

which the different colors and the rich

ed at these works in the utmost pcriec-

of charter and large capital, which
