THE HUMAN MAELsTRoM.

Heroes and celebrities are swallowed
up in Broadway; lost sight of in the un-
distinguished mass. Whales become
minnows there, and lions from the coun-
try roar as gently as sucking lambs. No
one cares for your badges or laurels or
titles in that whirl of humanity. The
best known men in the republic are new
er regarded or looked at. Any pedes-
trian will crowd them into the gutter;
any carman will run them down. We
can see whom we please if we walk
there. But we must know the famous
people intimately or we shall not be able
to recognize them. In that troubled sea
they make no wave above their fellows

THE POET.

This tall, 1.-THE, wiry patriarchal-look-
ing man, with locks and beard like the
driven snow, yet quick and elastic in his
movement as youth of twenty, is Will
liam Cullen Bryant. He has just re-
turned from Europe and is on his way
to the Evening Post Office from his Long
Island home. He has been looking on
poem for the Atlantic, and his weeks of
toll have failed to satisfy, him. Such
work with him is almost agony, and I
do not wonder he writes so little when
every iambic. is the product of labor in
excess. Not one of the thousands he
passes. Unconscious who he is, ans yet
the name of Bryant is household
word.

Bryant, Forrest, Greeley, stewart,
Bennett and Vanderbilt.
! A correspondent writes thus of Broad
way and some of the New York nota-
bles: 1t is high tide in Broadway, in
these bright November days. The whole
American and much of the European
world seems streaming through the great
thoroughfare. The November sunshine
falls on the gilded shops, the chaotic
crowd, the brilliant equipages, the lum-'
.bering stages, the heavy trucks, the fair
women in splendid toilets, the sprucely
attired men daintily gloved and perfum-
ed, humming an opera air, and struggling
through the throng to Exchange place or
Hanover square.
Its soft glory comes to all alike-to
Stewards dry goods palaces, and the
beggar resting beneath their shade; to
the roofs of the Reform Societies and
that temple of thieves, the City Hall ];
to the elaborate French chateau windows
of the Herald and the brown spire of old
ST. t.Paul's; to the grim granite front of the
historic Astor, and the latest architec-
tural deformity, the Leow Bridge. i 2
So it descends upon the radiant belle.
whose life is an odor of selfadulation.
and the wretched pariah, whose haggard
cheek and hollow eye mirror her despair.
So upon the pretty flower girl and the

his poisoned breath.

/. THE MILLIONAIRE.

Not far behind Greeley, in Broadway,
was gray-haired, rather slender, some
what STOPPING figure, giving the impress
sion Of constant anxiety and labor. That
thin. firm. compact face might represent
more than sixty years, and yet the gait
and evident vigor of the man would not
indicate more than fifty. Work is a
passion with him, and rest stagnation.
Thirty years ago he sold auction-bought
laces in little shop in Reade street
Now he is worth forty millions, and is
the richest man in the United States.
He enters his wholesale establishment at
the corner of Chambers street. There is
no sign over the door or on the building
anywhere, but everybody knows it is A.
L. Stewards.
THE sKEPTIc.
AT the Astor House comes that rather
bent form with an outcropping feeble
ness, as it moves across the street. The
hair is white, the face aged, and yet not
venerable. A sinister expression, not
relieved by the cast in the eye; hard
expression lurking in the corners of his
mouth, with a mocking skepticism all
about the features, are what you could
expect from James Gordon Bennett, a
phenomenal creature, and yet far better
and kinder than the world thinks him,
The name is printed along the Thames
and Seine and Danube, not less than on
the Hudson; and yet the bearer of it is
hardly known outside of the Herald of
fee. Bennett has few companions and
no society. His entire life has been abb
sorbed in his journal. 1t is to him what
France was to Richelieu.
THE FINANC1ER.
White haired, full-faced, rosy, with
the air of a good liver, and one who
could be depended on for his full bottle
every day at dinner, erect, muscular,
young at sixty. passionately fond OF
horses, lynx-eyed, cunning as fox, not
to be over-reached or outwitted, a bofn
gambler when the stakes are heavy, self

of it and belonging to it wholly, is

"My Prayer Meeting"

A good story is told of an eminent
divine in this city. He is known to be
man of indomitable energy and per-
severance in his Masters cause, and is
one of those devout men who is q thor
ough believer in the power of prayer
as means of rescuing sinful men from
endless pcrdition. Hence he is often
to be found holding prayer-mectings
in various parts of the city, preaching,
praying and exhorting, ever and anon
warning sinners to ''hce the wrath to
come" On certain OCCASION q wo-
man and five men agreed to attend
prayer. meeting and go to the altar OF
prayer and remain there until the min
lister became exhausted. Their deter
mination, by some means, was com
municated to the preacher, and he al
once resolved to "play an even hand
with them in case they should thus at
tempt to impose upon him. The scr
vices of the hour was gone through
with, and, as usual, the man of God
extended to the congregation an invita-
ton to come to the altar of prayer
The party in question moved simulta
neously, and knelt down. At this juno
ture, instead Of inviting Others to come
forward, the minister and congrega

Times Have Changed.

An incident recently occurred at
Yale, which we think goes very far to
establish as fact that this is world
of changes. A Yale alumnus of twen-
ty years standing, returned after long
absence, to visit his Alma Mater, and
was very courteously received and
shown around by Prof. T. After hay
ing exhibited to his guest most of the
modem improvements, the Prof said
to him:
"You have now s,en, I believe, all
that is in the institution except the
gymnasium. Come, let us 60 up there,
and I'll roll string of ten pins with
YOU"
"What sir" exclaimed the guest,
starting back in real or simulated a.
mazement.
"Why!" exclaimed the Professor,
"we have fine alley in our gymnasi
um, and 1 would very much like to go
there and roll string Of ten-pins With
YOU"
"Roll ten-pins with you, sir" cried
Alumnus with a CLEAN Of malicious
fun in his eye; "why, sir, l wss ex.

Some years ago a clergyman was
preaching to a large audience in a wild
part of Illinois, and announced for his
text, sin my fathers house are many

He had scarcely read the words when

Religious.

LONG SUFFERING This is love en-
during. If the trial comes direct from
God it is enough. 1t is correction. 1t
is his Heavenly Fathers hand, and with
Luther, the disciple cries: "Strike,
Lord, strike. But o! do not forsake
me-" If the trial come from Christian
brethren, till it he seven fold-scventy
times repeated, love to Jesus demands
forgivness. fit come from worldly
men, it is the occasion for that mag
nanimity which recompenses evil with
good And in every case it is an op-
portunity for following the Saviour
whom suffering made perfect. That
Saviour never loved the Father more
intensely than when the Fathers face
was hid, and when the bitter cup pro-
claimed His justice terrible and His
truth severe. One denied Him and all
the disciples lorsook Him; but Jesus
prayed for Peter while Peter was ours
ING. and His love followed the rest, ev-
eli when they were running away. Je
rusalem killed him; but in q foresight
of the guilty deed it was over Jerusal
EN- that Jesus wept; and when the deed
was done, in publishing pardon and the
peace of God, it was at Jerusalem tha
evangelists were directed to begin.
Revivals and large number of con
versions are quite generally reported
in the Methodist church. From wha
we have noticed, it would seem o.

and manufactures, the first God wa

The TIME TO ADvERTrzE.--An ex.
change commenting upon the stringent
times, gets of the following sensible
ideas:
In the meantime, how are business
men to keep aaoat? Prudence alid
economy, of course, are the two great
lessons to be learned; but there is one
part of these lessons which in dull times
is especially apt to be forgotten. BE
sure of one thing: whatever. you have
to sell, there are many people ready
to buy, even in the most depressed sea-
sons. Find them out show them your
wares persuade them to buy Of you
rather than another. When buyers
are reluctant, sellers must be active.
1t is peither cheap nor sensible to sit
still behind your counter and wait f'r
hustle of trade to revive. When bust
ness is dull, that is the very time to ad-
vertise In the first place, that is when
you most need to advertise; and in the
second, that is when people devote
kamost TING to reading the newspapers,
and when your advertisement conse'
quently is most generally seen.
