Few Of our readers have an idea Of
the vast proportion of the city Of New
York that this man owns; and of the
number of people who are the only real
estate holders of that vast city. Out of
a population whichnumbers one million,
there are only 5,00U real estate holders,
or, in other words, $4,000 persons own
all the landed property of thegreat' city
of New York, and accordingly 1856 per,
sons out of 1000 occupy hired property
Consequently we do not wonder much
that rents are high. A house valued at
$4,000 can be rented for $4,000. 1t

Lestimate Of the income Of William B

money to purchase house in the city,
but it is very rare that any poor man

The Green Countryman.

Years ago, into a wholesale grocery
store in Boston walked tall, muscular
looking, raw-boned man, evidently 6
fresh conner from some back town in
Maine or New Hampshire. Accostine
the first person he met, who happened to
be the merchant himself, he asked:
"You don't want to hire man in YOU
store, do your"
"Well," said the merchant, 81 dom

"Do!"- said the man; 81 rather guess

"Done," said the stranger land by thi
time every clerk in the store had gath
cred around and were waiting to join i
the laugh against the man, who, walkin
to the sack, threw it across his shoulde
with perfect ease, as it was net extreme
lily heavy, and walking with it twic
across the store, went quietly to a larg
hook which was fastened to the wall ian
hanging the sack upon it, turned to th
merchant and said: -,...s5 .....e. &
