Did you ever sit down, Telemachus,
and contemplate for an hour or two, the
beauty of silence9 You will appreciate
its beauty and its blessing, my son, as
you grow older. Some time when you
want to think and the bore who is with
you wants to talk; some time when
your ears have been dinned into partial
paralysis by the man who always will
talk to you in the railroad car; some
time when man has been talking poll
tics to you when he knows you hate
politics; some time when he has been
telling you all about himself or trying
to find out all about yourself, then you
will know, my son, how beautiful is
silence. How like beaison it comes
to soothe your rutfled spirit; falling on
your tortured soul softly as the twilight
shadows, and you love her with love
that is alteration, and on the affairs of
your grateful heart you burn before her
noiseless shrine the voiceless incense of
your worship. Ali through your life,
my boy, cultivate flashes of silence.
Now and then an hour of contemplation
is worth a week of talk. The friend you
love is all the dearer to you when you
sit and bold his hand Cf that is his gen
der, my sony and can say nothing to him.
When you meet a stranger, my son, who
can talk eleven hours a day, avoid him
and don't shoot him if you can possibly
get rid of him by lawful means. And,
one parting word, Telemachus, don't
talk to man in railroad car. He is
never, Mt lie ist rarely, thankful to you.
Railway conversation is always tire
some; the listener has to strain his ears
to hear, the talker has to strain his
voice to speak; if you speak too loud,
everybody can hear you; if you speak
too low, you can't hear each other.
Never talk to people on the train, stran-
gers or friends, unless you have some-
thing to say, and then say it and close
your shell. Don't, dvn't, don't talk in
the mere effort to pass away the time.
You will only make the hours infinitely
heavier. Of course, circumstances and
the people you meet, their habits and
varying dispositions will show you
when and where TO make liberal excep-
tons to these rules, but don't talk,
never, never talk on the train to the
man who doesn't want to talk, and only
keeps up his part of the conversation
from courtesy. And if you can't tell
when a man doesn't really want to talk
with you, my son, you had better get a
position as teacher in some sylum for
the deaf and dumb, and learn to lose
your voice entirely, as fast as you can.

Fulton Market, New York.

Probably no name of any locality in
the great metropolis of our la nd is so
wel-known the country over as this.
The large quantities of fish sold there
are special feature. 1t being near the
landing place of ferries, and of the New
Haven, Hartford and other steamers,
makes it a place where crowds gather
Its natural local advantages, as regards
the things named, and also water and
ship accommodations, make it superior
to all other markets.
The wholesale fish market is between
the street and the water, under a long
wooden shed. Each firm has n space
about twelve or fifteen feet wide, reach
ing from the street to the slip in which
their cars are floating. These are kept
filed with live fish by smacks and boats
that are coming and going at all hours
of the day and night. This fish business
has been constantly increasing, and
now, very early each morning, various
fish wagons, carts, etc, crowd the space
along the street while securing their
street, also along the walks, are wagons,
etc, from which clans. Holsters, ETC.,
are sold. Inside the main building are
several of the largest fish firms, and a
number of the best eating places to be
found in any part of the city. On the
Boekman street wing, large quantities Of
fish are sold by retail every day. In
this market great quantities of salt
water fish are packed in boxes, and sent
to the interior cities and towns.
The market draws its supplies from
all parts of the country, from ocean,
river and lake. When a fishing vessel
comes from any place laden with fresh
fish, it can find customers there for its
cargo.
Peculiar tact is needed to successfully
conduct business in this market. Hence
the men who have been there a few
years are soon seen to be men of intel
ligence, sprightliness, cheerfulness of
manner, perhaps brusque, but always
kindly. Follow them to their homes,
where they put off the smocks and
aprons, and big ubber boots needed in
their markets, and you meet cordial
and refined hospitality. The men are
mostly husbands and fathers, supporters
of churches and all the other good
things that ennoble and preserve So
ciety. They ere living evidences that
men can do work that soils hands and
feet and clothes, and still preserve their
hearts pure and warm and true Sea
World.

An Expensive Party.

A New York paper says: A few days
ago the wife of one of our most million
airy millionaires gave a luncheon party
Mt her Fifth avenue home to seventy-two
ladies. There were twelve tables, each
table arranged for six guests, with diff
ferent service, the cloth, napkins, glass,
china, flowers, every bit of equipment
and garniture, indeed, even to the gas
shades, harmonizing in color and de-
sign. The glass and china were of novel
pattern and the costliest kind, and the
napkins and table-cloths deliberately
wrought. Instead of the ordinary cards,
with the name inscribed, were cards
finely and specially painted, deserving
to rank as works of art, the subject sug-
gested by gastronomy in some form or
other. As mementoes, various trihes,
as they were called, were placed beside
the places. They were fans, bouquet
holders, ornamental glove buttouers and
the like, each and all of curious and
dainty workmanship. The effect of the
twelve tables and their varied service
with the guests in rich visiting dress OF
the latest mode, must have been ravish-
ing to the feminine eye, though it is
doubtful if the masculine mind could
have had any just appreciation of the
ingenuity and expense of the entertain
ment. 1t was intended to be, and prob
ably was, the most elaborate luncheon
party yet given in the city, and luncheon
parties have been a feature of metropoli-
tan society this season. We are OBJ
viously not drifting toward the days of
rigid economy and Spartan simplicity.
