All about my recent trlpl
on the railroad, down TO Gotham,
To see the great steam SNIP
First III tell you OF my reception,
For, with the Embassadors from Japan
1 stopped at u house on Broadway
Called the Metropolitan.
When l entered this great Hotel,
A gentleman most polite
In our book, your name please write
Then made my mark upon their book,
In manner no ways SMALL lsHld1
When the smiling Clerk, behind the counter,
You're from lsaacs Union Hall T.
1 assured him had the pleasure,
OF haiiing from that spot
Says he, "my friend we're full Tonight
So you'll have 10 take cot
Then he showed me 10 the parlor,
To a soft and dOwny cot
And with regrets, assured me,
Next day they'd change my lot.
Next day they changed Il truly
Oftheir friendship as proof
They placed me In the highest Dom
They had beneath the roof
When l got down stairs once more
As / am rather fat,
I told the Clerk ! cOIi1 not climb
So many stairs rs that
The Leland took me by the hand,
SAYS hp, my clever feller,
IfyOu're not used 10 getting III,
Wen put you in the cellar
told him was satisfied
With anything he'd do,
But # il was the same to him
I'd stop between the two.
Then they made me quite contenied;
And IN say to every nan,
When next you visit New York City,
Stop at-the metropolitan.
But in telling ofmy reception,
| have let the subject slip,
l must now tell You all about
My visit TO the Ship.
The Ship was anchored in the stream,
And climbed up ladder OF ropes,
But when the ladies went on board,
They showed no little hoops.
Everything about the Ship
Was on a scale extremely large,
Even the price l paid for seeing her
For dollar was the charge.
The ship was very dirty
They had not prepared at ali.

One Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago, there was not
a single white man in Ohio, Kentucky,
Indiana and Illinois territories. Then,
what Is now the most fourishing part of
America, was as little known as the coun-
try around the mountains Of the NOON
lnI799 the Hunter of kentuck." the
gallant and adventurous Boone, left his
home in North Carolina, to become the
first settler of Kentucky. The first pion-
eer Of Ohio, did not settle until twenty
years after this time 4 hundred wears
ago Canada belonged to France. and the
whole population Of the United States did
not exceed a million and half Of people.
y hundred Years ago, the great Frederic
Of Prussia was performing those exploits
which have made him immortal in militia
ry annals, and with his little monarchy
was sustaining single handed contest
with Russia, Austria and France-the
three great powers combined. 4 hundred
years ago, Napoleon was not born, and
/ Washington was a young and modest Fir-
oinia colonel; and the great events in the
/ history Of the two worlds, in which these
( great but dissimilar men took leading
/ parts, were then scarcely forshadow-
/ ed.
\ hundred years go, the United States
were the most loyal part of the British
Empire; and on the political horizon no
sPeck indicated the struggle which with
in a score Of years thereafter, established
the great Republic Of the world \ hun
dred years ago, there were but four news
/ papers in America--steam engines had
not been imagined and railroads and tele-
graphs had not entered into the remotest
conception of man. When we come to
look back at it through the vista of his
tory, we find that to the century which
has passed, has been allotted more impor-
tant events, in their bearing upon the
happiness of the world, than almost any
other which has elapsed since the crea-
ton

Getting tFae Better in Manners.

The most characteristic instance of car
rying Politeness to an extreme came off,
not long since, at Hibernian ball As
related to us by one Of the sons of Erin,
who Reenly appreciates a good thing, it
seems that one gay Lothario, in crossing
the room to request Bridget's hand in the
next reel, stumbled over the outstretched
foot of Mir. Terence O'Grady, who prompt
ly arose, and in the pohtest manner said /:
Il beg your pardon, sir"
"No offence, no offence, sir, at ALL" re-
sponded the other; ''it was my fault"
Il beg yer pardon, sir, it was intirely
my fault" was the response, accompanied
with a.graceful bend of the body and wave
Of the hand.
No, sir" answered Misther O'Toole,
eyer iutirely in the wrong, sir; l tell ye
it was altogether my fault"
Il tell ye 1t was not, sir responded
Misther O'Grady,; "do We name 20 say
I d ne telling lie, sir ~
Bad luck to We, sir, do ye name to say
Ia be afther telling yc lie, sir, whin I
tell ye it wasn't yer fault :" responded
O'Toole, quite wroth.
"Bad cess to yer bad brading, We igno-
rant polthroon d'ye think yed be getting
| the better Nv me in manners :" shouted
! }Iisthcr O'Grady, as with tip and a blow
| he laid the unfortunate O'Toole as fat as
/ pancake. The latter rallied and rough
and tumble ensued, which ended in the
expulsion Of both jintlemen from the ball
/ room.

LET Us BE JoYFUL-A little mirth
mixes well and prodtably with business
and philanthroPhy. How stupid life
would be, both in labor and in leisure,
without that gaiety within US which re
spends to the cheerfulness and beauty
around Us. Nay . It's main currents run
all the deeper, as well as fresher and pu-
rer, for the light trills of jcyousness that
laughing and flashing, flow into them
The rivers would stagnate into pools if the
rivulets ceased to play. Philosophers and
men of business save their souls alive,
and keep their intellects fresh and healthy,
by mingling their mirthfulness of youth
with the soberness of age and even fun
and philanthropy are often found in the
same character.
