A Bar Room Picture of Reading.

A strait.laced Yorker, who spent
winter at the /" Mine Holes" on ihs South
ern bordar of Berks, in the chmercal hunt
among copper-ore for the wherewithal to re-
cruii a dsipated fortune, relates his expert
ences in the last Number of Patnam's Month";
y; and gives us, by way of episode, the
following birds. eye picture of Reading, as
seen through the somewhat Opaque atmos-
phere of bar.room. For such picture, it
is truthful enough, with only The slightest
dash of caricature; but we would venture
respectfully TO submit TO the writer, that if
he had obtained glimpse of Reading,
through the genial light OF It's home life, he
would have discovered that the people can
and do speak English "pure aud undefIsd, !"
in an unbroken thread that hard drinking
is not the regular employment of "every-
body !" and that the social democracy,
which is our pride, although it may be his
derision, does not conflict with the pleasan-
test and most refining domestic intercourse
Reading Gazette.
"There, lin Berks counly,) every man is
as good as his rich neighbor, and holds it
for an inalenable right to call him Tom or
Sam, as the case may be, and never TO mis-
ter him, except ON occasions of great eere-
mony, when the compliment is RECIPROCAL
To stranger this levelling system is very
striking. even in the city OF Reading, al
though have been told it is only deceit
I fnl appearance.
In point of fact, was led 10 remark Gas
a stranger) tha, Reading, over and above
her machine shops (for they deal in iron
there, and make many locomotives and such
like k1ick.kuaoks) is remarkable for three
things. In that. the people converse prom
iscuously in Two languages-to wit. English
and Pennsylvania Dutch. In that everybo-
dy drinks spirtuous drinks with regularity
and a capacity perfectly amazing q never
saw il equalled in any community except
among the Congress men al Washington
and in that, in the oulside intercourse OF the
men there is no arislocracy. ! have seen
them assemble al luncheon lime in The bar
room Of the principal hotels Thinkers end
bankers, petty shopkeepers, machinests and
great iron-maslers, engineers and railroad
directors, drinking and clinking their glasses
together in perfec! jovial unauimi'y, SCOT
and dandyism in contact, uncohiaminated."

Schuyler, the Ruined Banker.

A New York letter writer makes the fol-
lowing comment upon the fallen fortunes OF
the celebrated Robert Schuyler:
Ipassed the other day the splendid man
sion OF MIR. Schuyler whose stupendous frauds
are so we'll known. 1t was closed, and ap-
parently solitary, though his. family still resi-
ded there. What contrast few months
has apparently made in that family! lis glo-
'ry is dim. Crowds 70 longer assemble in
the spacious parlors; the coaches OF The splen-
did and gay do NOT line the sidewalk the
brilliant lights and the dashiug company no
longer allure the crowd 10 herd around the
curbstoDe-all is solitude. But what les
son does This even! teach.
MIR. Schuyler had two characters. In bu:
siness, on Change, at his rooms in the AS.
tor, he was known as the hgh-n inded, hon.
orsble, successful, pure minded man, one of
whom New York was proud, and one whom
she delightful 10 homer. Now come with
me in:o one of The least pretending streets
in New York. This house is as unpreend-
ing as the street. Mr.. Spicer lives here. Let
us enter. Mrs Spicer and family Of
children from 10 years and under, compose
the household. II is said 10 be singular
family Mf seicer is n singular nan. NO
one ever sees him. The Butcher, the milk
man. the landlord don't know him. Mrs.
Spicer does all the business. MIR. Spicer
comes in late he goes away early in the
morning.
He is business man: he has so much bu.
siness that he is never seen in his family
Remain there day and night: and you will
never see MIR. Spicer. The daughters be.
come young ladies'. They are well educa-
ted They so out into society, but no
one knows their father. MIR. Spicer's name
is not in the business directory. So have this
family lived for twenty years in the heart Of
New York AT length the elder Miss Spicer
is engaged to most worthy man. II is
needful 10 gain The conseLt Of Mr.. Spcer .ha,
the marriage may take place.
A time is appointed aud the expcctant SON.
in.law is placed face 10 face with Mr. Spicer
He is told by the father himself that bis
name is no, Spicer, but il is Mr.. Schuyler ;
that the mother of his daughter is not wife;
but if the daughter is taken in marriage the
mother shall bs welded. The double act is
consummaled; the veil is removed, New
York is sgiiated for moment by the disclo.
sures ; an elegant house is taken OIL twenty
second street, and the family is launched
on the wave of fashionable life. All the
world knows the sequel. With SO rotten a
foundation, how could the superstructure
stand =?
