Boston is situated in New England,
near the Great Organ. 1t is called Bos-
ton because some one gave it that name a
good many whiles ago. Originally, the
noble and high minded red man occupied
this sacred soil, and when he WASN'T thunt-
ing buffalo IN Chelsea, he lolled in majes-
tic style under the great elm, and with a
pensiye air waited for the fountain to
squirt, while the pure minded and yirtuons
squaws, in their war-hoop skirts, reclined
near the Beacon Street mall, looking at the
fashion plates in Harper's Bazaar Bot
now, alas, all, all is changed. Instead
of this rural simplicity, we find busy men
haunting the busy haunts of mef', and
mammoth walls Of brick rear their hapgh-
ty fronts,-aIso their naughty rears.
Boston is not so large as New Y ork i,
but the inhabitants enjoy themselves in
their primitive way, and my wife says it
is getting to be qnite cityfed place. To
be sure we haven't got such men to send
TO Congress as they have in New York,
but we've got some practising in Charles
town State Prison, and at private rehear-
sails on North Street every night Our
boys swear aud smoke cigars before they
are twelve, and our girls parade up and
down the streets with bright-cOlored
ribbon and a Japan switch and guess
in course of time we shan't be so far be-
hiad New York, after all.
There are 2 great many things to enjoy
in Boston-such as Boston crackers, the
Ether monument, Gilson's beans, the Col
iseum, horse7car conductors, Ottawa beer,
dry goods clerks, the frog pond, the black
Afarias, and Beacon Fosters benefit =
Then there are Boston oysters, which are
very nice and command very high price
in New Yerk-the same as New York
oysters do in Boston sz eaf-sa..5s,E
the amuselnents in Boston are varied
and harmless The principal places of
resort are the Free Baths, Scollay's Build
irg, Old Womens Home, T1emont Row,
Smokers Retreat, Free Lnnch, Warren's s
benefit and the Oriental Eea Store. Then
there's Banker HiH Monument, which you
can climb 10 the top of If ,you want, TO,
and see a good many things AmUng
other things, you can see what a fool yo1
were to climb up-very plainly with the
naked eye, To person of a-relicspme,
airy disposition, fond OF light amusement,
there are three very attractive cemeteries,
viz: Mount Auburn, Forest Hills, and
the cemetery called Chelsea.
There are great many hotels in Bos-
opian plan of feeing the waiter, and re-
eeiving a check for half you eat = and
others on the Y ankee plan of paying for
three Yq1are meals day, whether or no.
Mr.. TremoutS who keeps a hotel near the
grave yard in fremont street, IS a very
good sort of man to stop with. e His
beans are very tranquil, and his picked
up dinners decidedly relishing. <would
could say as much for the t'Rollicking
Tadpole," the Slunkville hotel, but truth
forblds. The only recommendation this
house has is in regard to it's hash, which
is always served up with the hairs on a
separate plate, with little label stating
where they are from, and then yon can
eat them or not, as you see fit, 1t was
al one time. idarkly hipted, however, llat
/ the superior beef tea for which this house
was SO celebrated WAS made from the
toothpicks which the boarders left lying
beside their plates, bot You needn't say
that this came from me 4 was told it
in confidence, but Of course told my wife,
as don't think man ought 10 keep any
thing from his wife. She told thirty or
forty of her confidential friends, but they
said they'd never lisp livin' word of it
for the world. The proprietor of the
"Rolhcking Tadpole" owes mylson in-law
for whitewashing his pig pen, and if this
should leak out he never would get red
cent. f..e...f e...--
