The good time coming-of which we hare
long heard SO much; and seen SO Gttle-ior
which re hare SO long hoped, and so often dis
paifcd-wiah which mr hare so long been prom
ised, and so many times disappointed
Good Time which has BEEN 50 long or its way,
as if it walked only on crutches, and would be
for ever limpiag-is Ut last no longer "eosning,"'
but las now come. It is no longer to he waited
for, but is now here. 1t belongs no more only
to the future: its date is to-day
Now, il uuy one asks, "What is going on To-
days" we reply, that almost everything Is going

being crowded. from the new Fitth Avenue
on the north to the new Park Hotcl' on the
south: and, We might add, perhaps more arc
now sleeping on tho floors than sometimes sleep
ia the beds; more inquiry is made for almost
every article Of merehandize; more ease is fell
