| wandered two miles along Broadway
l noticed that men walked less hastily than
they did two or three years ago. They were
not rushing from store to score with fat wal
lets and importunate accounts. They
slouched easily along, with sort of sailors
roll, and seemed to have little to do Boys
were no longer tacking to avoid brusquo
men. Clerks stood in store windows twirl-
Ing their whiskers. Windows of gun and
pistol stores werc not patronzed by gaping
crowds of countrymen. There was much
moving out of tenants, aud few protty
damscls stood hesitatiug in front of photo
graphic galleries, wondering which artist
they would patronizc. Pretty wagonswcre
displayed, but few were there to buy In
front of some of tho ribbon stores there wore
lady gazer dra 'nz from purc curiosity
Stewards had no jam in front of its wide
doors. Mems clothes seemed poorer there
were ragged edges to vests, aud boots, once
shiny, were sreyly overlapping their solcs-
Perhaps girls firtcd more, because they had
nothing else to do; but the men who had
time to oglc them had no money for ice
cream saloons. The bars were not so bust
ling, aud tho cheap restaurants contained
greater number of people than the dcarcr
ones. thought there were fewer apple
stands. Button hole bouquets frightened
fewer lappcls, and the picture and music
stores wero vacant. Where crowds wero
most to be expected, in the carpet aud fur
niturc stores, there was lack of people,
The old street, once crazy as bcdlam, was
almost as quiet as the streets of Southern
city. No grass grew among the stones, but
the sparrows had no ono energetic enough
to disturb them while they were stealing
stray bits for their nests. 1t was evident
that we are living in hard times.
BOLD TRIcK.-Thc "swell mob" of Lon
don pcrpctrate rob5erics with the most SIM
gular ingenuity and address, aud appear
never to be at fault. A lady alighted at
bank, assembled the steps and entered tho
vcstibule and presented check to the pay
ing teller, received very largo amount of
bank notes, which she deposited in her purse
tssnd .naned 10 her carriage. Just as she
had taken hcY seat gentiouiaIf camc u6~n=
the steps of the bank Without his hat, wear
ing spcctacles and having pen behind his
ear, said "Madam, VIC have forgotten to
take tho number Of those notes. Will you
allow nc to take them off 2" She handed
him the notes and he ascendcd the fkof
the bank and entered the building The
lady having waited some time, finally r,-
turned to the bank and soon ascertaincd
that no person had been authorized to ask
for the notes.
AFFECTING SIGHT.--A correspondent,
who writes from Vigo, Spain, says: In
the ncighborhood of Einistcrrc, between tho
fishing villages of Bayona and Corunna, af-
ter stormy weather, pieces of wreck are
continually being washed up, and sometimes
the bodies Of the drowned A notable in
stance occurred after the storms of January,
when quantity Of bodies were thrown out
by the waves at Muros. Among them were
the corpses of two ladies', one poor creature
still holding in her arms her dead child
The fishermen say they were well dressed
and fair. and supposed them to be English.
Accounts of the wrecks are rarely if ever

heard Of in England.
ADVICE TO YoUNG MEN.-Ncvcr affect
to be other than what you are, either richer
or wiser. Never be ashamed to say IL don't
know" Never be ashamed to say, when ap-
piled to for time or money, 81 cannot afford
it," Once establish yourself and your mode
of life as really what they are, and your foot
is on solid ground, whether for the gradual
step onward or the sudden spring over
precipice. From these maxims we may de-
duce another-lcarn to say "No," with de-
cision, whenever it meets temptation. Yes;
with caution whenever it implies promise
A promise once given is bond invioable.-
A man is already of some consequence in
the world when it is known that we can i'm
plicity rely upon him. How frequently in
life have VIC seen such man preferred to
long list OF applicants for some important
charge; he has been lifted at once into sta.
tion and fortune, merely because he has
this reputaton-that when he says that no
knows thing, he knows it and when lie
says he will do thing ho will doit.
The latest bore, and gigantic one he is,
