the Smells OF Harlem Flats.

If we should follow our noses, as the old
SAYING advises us, where would they lead
US? Certainly away from Harlem flats. There
would be rapid transit enough from New York
If the olfactory organ was allowed to deter
mine the general direction Of travel. The
nose is noble member; it is the emblem OF
poetry, being so sensitive and deicate, and
man owes to it many benefits which are not
usually acknowledged. Being the most prom
inent feature of the face, its instinct IS in adj
vance of the reasoning powers, and its func-
ton is to detect the presence OF disease in the
air, or the deleterious atoms which produce
disease, before the lungs unconsciously inhale
them. 1t is the sentinel that stands before
the citadel Of the body and now presents its
bayonet point and cries "Halt !" to the odors
Of Harlem flats.
These fats include all the smells known to
nature or art, excepting those which are ex-
qusite and delightful There is no ottar Of
roses there no extract Of violets noDof the
beautiful Puritan pansies, nor Of the summer
winds "faint with delicious scent of drowsy
flowers But there is the fragrance of the
decaying cabbage, the putrefed cat, the
sweepings Of the streets, the garbage Of the
alleys, the gatherings Of the cbiffonier, and Of
all the countless substances that are included
in the excretion Of city. The flats, in the
language of the undemonstrative Rabelais,
smell worse than five hundred thousand
million devils" We cannot say Of the breeze
that blows above it that it comes over the
nose
Like the sweet south,
That breathes upon a bank oil violets.
Stealing and giving door,
though we might add, with good reason, the
context Of the Shakesperian poetry" Enough!
no more !" The seventy-two stenches, all
well defined and several, which Coleridge
found in the town Of Cologne, are excelled By
the wonderful eflluvia which the Harlem flats
combine in one general stink which defies
analysis. The nose recoils upon itself in this
region Of pestilence, and the man is to be
envied who is afflicted with influenza. Har-
lem fats is the bouquet Of poison favors
which is offered 10 the metropolis Of New
York We think that the public has had
enough Of these smells, and if the matter were
to be submitted to vote we should need only
to .scount noses to be sure OF majority in
favor Of this opinion. Surely the Board of
Health should do something for the protection
Of the universal nose, which is being held
tightly between the thumb and finger in hope
ful anticipation of its action.
