Let us walk up the old fau,Ili.r steps Of the

First OF all theso is ce1trc-pfece-As sort offancy

pretty ie exhibited to tempt the eye, to tempt the
hand to put itseH Ia the pocket, and withdraw the
coin NECESSARY for It's purchase. The alta1-as we

tuse. With drawn sword in fts hand, a.rsyed In
red aad green with the left hand resting upon the
emb1azored shield Of the United States, the nhole

On either side Of this figure two large mirrors,
IN which VIC eAw more than one or two pretty gfzls
aon."ing their pretty facee-and, in our phtlosoph
1cal Way, We admired them also. Why not? Thsy
wese made to be adniked-and they know It. and
wouldn't like It II One not to cxst sheers eyes
at thtm now and then. High over the s.tnbolica1
figure aid the mirrors, a group Of Tie dcar old
hags vas clustered, np0n background OF orange
ss1s, with splendid black eagle p:zched sublime

bollea1 picture, about fourteen feet By seven In
dimensions, representing America victorious, as
sic ever stau be. BY God's help, orer all her cne-
mics.
On each side Of this patriotic fa5laur, stalls,
containing every conceivable variety Of goods ,re
&f7a1ged In the most tasteful manner. Thelr
tips artAed with eyezgreens, over curtains Of
white drapesy. Cords are suspended all along
these ttalls adorned with hoquets aud musical in
strumen nts, and cabinet pictures. and articles Of
1ad1es anerJ and apparel; exquIslte}y designed
BAGS sippe1s. scars, handkerchiefs, gloves, glass
baskets, tasty card .acks, ladys Sleeves cushions
Of Ill sorts, and things too numerous to mention
asthe Snowman Gays. The stalls themselves are
starred with all eo1ts Of jewelty, and 6ijouterie
silver cups, napkin rings. lamps, vases full of
BEAUTIFULLY moulded artificial flowers, etc. ETC.
The wn,ls behind the stalls are hung with mir
