A Political Parrot,

A WARN day in spring in New York often
means hot day, such as oppresses London
in August The air seems full Of gold-dust
heated to the boiling point, and native
American takes to. ice cream and brandy
smashes remedially. f..
I was on "the shilling side of Broadway"
q do not know the origin of this designation)
on one of those hot mornings in spring, when
the metropolitan disposition to ice cream i'm
PEELED me into eonfectioner's shop. The
back parlor Of a former aristocratic dwelling
was the reireshment-room. Its large win
dows looked towards the east, and the room
was flooded with sunshine, snch as London
er is never blessed nor blinded with-for
there are two sides even to the subject of
sunshine In the warm heart Of the light
there was brilliant green parrot, fastened by
a silver chain to perch, where she seen ed
to rest from pure choice. She was singing
as I never heard parrot siHg-with human
naturalness and rollicking joyousness. The
song, an ancient favorite with certain class
in the land of its birth, had met favor with all
classes in the land of its adoption:

and worst of all the stage drivers and the
landlord at a certain hotel where they
stopped for dinner, had an understanding
with each other like this; the passengers
were taken in to dine, and when cleVerly
seated, the coach would furiously dash
up to the door, and the driver would call
for his passengers, stating that he could
not delay a minute on account Of making
his time.
They would rush out, leaving their
meals half finished, for fear of being left
For the half finished meal they were
charged a half a dollar. The victuals
were kept for the next load Of passengers
when the skinning process was repeated.
Ben had heard of this place, and when
they arrived at the hotel he set his wits
to work to see if he could get the value
of his money.
The bell rang for dinner, and the crowd
rushed in. They had hardly got COM
fortably seated when the coach reined up
before the door, and the driver vocifer-
ously shouted:
Passengers all aboard-can't t wait but
FIVE minutes"
A general rush was made, but Ben sat
still, and ate his dinner very cOmposedly.
The stage drove off and left him, but he
seemed to care very little about it.
Having disposed of his dinner, he was
enjoying the luxury of long nine in the
side room, when the landlord approached
him, saying:
"I-beg your pardon, sir, but did you
see a set of silver tea spoons on the table
when you went to dinner?"
q" 1 did sir"
"Well, they are missing-can't be
found
"Ah, yes, replied Ben; one of the
passengers gathered them up-I saw him
do it."

Ben jumped out of the buggy, and got
into the stage, when the driver, thinking
that he had hired the landlord to bring
him after, was on the point of driving of,
" hen the latter yelled out
q Is that passenger in there ?"
" Yes" replied Ben.
"Are you sure ?"
Yes, stree" shouted our batchelor
friend.
(Which one is it7"
"It's me, replied Ben, with a grin.
YOU" thundered Boniface-" what
the ID did you do with the spounsP"
I put them in the coffee pot, you will
find them all safe, replied Ben, with
curious twinkle in his eye.
"Sold, by ginger, by that darned Yam
keel" yelled the landlord, whilst the pas
sengers roared in laughter, and putting
the whip to his horse drove back resolv-
ing to give thep passengers ever afterwards
ample time for dinner.
