But they impoversh The country as well as
themselves, in their hot haste 10 accumulate ii

and must continue SO to do until more healthy
action takes place.
Our citizens both young men and gray hairs,
blooming maidens and sober nlesmades, are now
worshpping at the shrine of Terpsichore. That
comet-ke and devimay-care discarded play
thing of kings, and the nobility of Europe, is
amongst us. She has fairly taken the city by
storm, set all the young men crazy. and half the
old. She draws more crowded houses than
ever Kate Hayes did. But witty, frail and fair
Lola, with her everlasting poodle dog, with al.
eye like an Eagles, and sarcasm more biting

where the Union Place Hotel stands, extending
from 4th avenue on the east to Broadway on the
west, with frontage TO the north on l4th street

BEAUTIFUL CONFERENCE.-The do not Won
der that the leaves and trees and boughs have
ever been the material whereof poets have maj :
ufactured comparisons and imagery. One OF
the most beautiful we ever remember to have
seen, was by Dr. Cheever:
That tree, full leaved, is swelling up into
the calm blue summer air. Not a breath is
stirring, and ye:, how IL waves and rocks in the
sunshine. Its shadows are hung lavishly around
it; birds sing and sit in It's branches, and chill
dren seek refuge beneath them. Human alice
tiops are the leaves, the foliage OF our being
they catch every breath, and IN the burden and
heat of the day, they make motion and music IN
.be world. Stripped of that foliage, how I'M
slightly is human nature.

I'm sure you'll make it pay.
So on ! went with soul intent,
Upon the mighty dollar,

That trading beat me hoilar.
Then next went packing,

Then began 10 gather pluck,
My heart was growing stout,
But one night. ye Gods, o cursed luck,
The Djggers' cleaned me out.
Some advised me then TO gamble,
They were sure that could play,
And from town tn Town 10 rumble,
For they thought I'd make ii pay.
Then tried my hand for good or bad,

But the fellow took what change had
And beat me with club.
