sas. Of &e city Of New York There are ~
"little vilIaics" among them, no broken down
Wall street stocS jobbers who, In their despefa
ton, deal In dead rlen's bones; but they are sue
cessful men OF business among them some sue
cessful editors. They are men Of ed2cation, and
taste, and talent, and refinement, who do NOT
want 10 speculate in their delightful residences
which they know how to appreciate and enjoy.
This region is destined soon to surpass in every
other respect, as it does now by nature the
Faubourg ST. German, of Paris, or the West
End of London. Let its owners, therefore, al
once proceed to take the necessary steps whioh
we have pointed out towards securing for them
selves and their children forever the blessings d
such delightful abodes, against the designs o.
greedy harpies and vultures, which are lowering
around to destroy them by turning the laying
out Of the streets and avenues into fragrant
job-men who are ever seeking whom and what
they may devour-seeking to make everything
on the earth, in the earth and above the earth
their lawful and devoted prey.
