ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL,
BROADWAY,
Nav York.

When completed, @ years ago, the st. Mich
olas was universally pronounced the most mag
%niacent, convenient, and thoroughly organized
establishment of the kind on this continent.
What it was then, it remains to-day-with-
out u rival in size, in snmptuousncss, and in
the general elements of comfort and enjoy
ment.
The Hotel has accommodations for LOCO
guests, including 100 complete suites of apart
ments for families.
Six hundred persons can be comfortably sea-
ted ut the tables of its three public dining
rooms, and nothing that modern art has devils
ed for the convenience and social qualification
Of the travelling public has been omitted in Its
plan, or Is neglected in its practical details.
The early reputation of the house at home
and abroad, derived from its magnitude, its su.
peru appointments, and its home-like comforts
and ~iuxurics, has been enhanced every year BY
the unwearied exertions of the Proprietors.

FINEST GRAPES.

persons in Franklin County for pres.
ents in the way Of fine grapes. NJ, d,
told us to not mention his if they were
besten by any one else in this County,
which advice we follow in only men
tioning that tho finest grapes Of the
season, 50 far as we have seen, were
gwen us by Abraham Shook, living
near the mountain, about six miles hence
They were as large as ~common-sized
marbles, and very nice and juicy. If
evor we saw nicer we don't remember.

CORRECT SrEAKlNG.-We advise all
young people to acquire in carly life
tho habit of good language, both in
speaking and writing, and to abandon,
~ ea,iy as possible, any use of slang
words and phrases. The longer they
live, the more difficult the acquisition
ofsuch language will be and ifthe gold
on age Of youth, the proper season for
the acquisition of language, be passed
in its abuse, the unfortunate victim of
neglected education is very probably
doomed to talk slang for life. Money
il not necessary to procure this educa-
ton. Every man has it in his power.
He has merely to use the language
which he reads, instead of slang which
he hears, to form his taste from the
best speakers and poets OF the country
to treasure up choice phrases in his
memory, and to habitnate himself tc
their use-avoiding, at the same time
that pedantic precision which shows
rather the weakness of a vain ambition
