"Good Morning, +"

Every body says "geod morning III New
Yorklill-after Inner. The higher the cir
Gle a man moves in, the later he dimes, and
the longer he says "sood morning"
This salutafion is a sort oEslidi3tg scale Of
peoples precise position; the lower it runs,
the higher he stands. The man who says
"good evening" to you As exactly one min
ute past twelve, City Hall time, is DOWN to
0--zero. Depend upon it, he warks for a
living; he foots it down town MORNINGS, and
carries his dinner in small tin pail with n
young tin pail inverted upon the top of it.
The sun reports himself not more regularly
at the meridian than that mans appetite.
There's another that bids you "good NOR
ning," and all the bells, little and big, haze
tolIed, struck, and rung two O'Clock. He's
"well and to do," and well fed--and dimes
at half past--steps gently into the omnibus
fare cents-and is set down somewhere,
to walk gently few steps, and in "a chair
with arms and cushions, meditatingly minis
ters to "the inner-man."
There comes one at six, full past, who says
"good morning" sill. He's up to gig deg.
on the scale--tAe very boiling point Of re-
spectability.
And there, on the curb-stone 8 de of the
walk, steals poor devil, who for the matter
OF dining is not on the scale at all. He new
or dimes; good morning" all day long were
there any such thing in his Almanac, or any
inquiry" for beggars' wishes. The ther-
mometer doesn't go up into his circle; the
tube isn't long enough, water vaporizes be-
fore it gets there, as at seven P. NJ, he stands
at one of the Park Gates; nat i'll hand for a
copper, and murmurs AS You scowl at him
an humble, deprecatory good morning. >

A HARD CAsE--The editor Of Fowlkes
Express is responsible for the following. II
is rather hard case, but the editor mus. be
allowed to relate in his own way:
On Tuesday afternoon Dutch girl pre-.
sented herself in our sublime presence and
requested us to read document, which she
unfolded for that purpose. 1t was a begging
