During the epoch hat the Cavaliers
landed in Virginia and the Puritans in
Massachusetts. the latter lived on
maple sugar and armed prayer, while
the former saluted his cow and, with
barred head, mixed her with his hat
In one hand and his life in the other.
immigration now began to increase
along the coast. The Mayfiower began
to bring yer vast quantities Of an
tique furniture, mostly hall clocks for
future sales. Hanging them on spars
and masts during rough weather easily
accounts for the fact that none OF
them have ever been known to go.
The Puritans now began to barter
with the Indians, swapping square
black bottles of liquid hell for farms
In Massachusetts and additions to log
towns. Dried apples and schools began
to make their appearance. The low
retreating forehead Of the Goldfish be-
gan o Ibe seen at the stores and virtue
began to break out among the Indians
after death.
The author will now refer to the
discovery. Of the Hudson river and the
town Of New York via Fort Lee and
the One Hundred and Twenty fifth
street ferry.
New York was afterward sold for
S24--the whole island. When I think
Of this I go into my family gallery,
which I also use as q swear room, and
tell those ancestors what I think of
them. Where were they when New
York was being sold for $24? Were
they having their portraits taken by
Landseer or their deposition by JEFF

courage them to believe they will es-
cape me in the future years. Some of
them died unregenerate and are now,
I am told, in a country where they
may possibly be damned; and I will
attend to the rest personally.

Henry-or Hendrick-Hudson was
an English navigator Of whose birth
and early history nothing Is known.
He went up the river as far as Albany,
but, finding no n there whom he
knew, he FASTENED back as far as Two
Hundred and Ninth street west and
anchored. Here he landed and offered
the Inians liquor, but they refused.
How Two Hundred and Ninth street
has changed. Mr.. Hudson's great rep
utation lies In the fact that he discov-
cred the river which bears his name,
but the thinking mind will at once re-
gard the discovery of an Indian who
does not drink as far more wonder
full. Some historians say that this es-
peciaI delegation was swept away by
pestilence, whilst Others commenting
the incident maintain that Hud-
son lied.
Nothing more was heard Of him till
he turned up in a thinking part in
Rip Van Wrinkle.
A solitary horseman about this time
stood there aboard his horse, clothed
in a little brief authority. AS soon as
Hudson landed and discovered the city
was approached by the chief, who
said: 1--WE gates? I am one of the
to show you our little town.
I suppose you have a power of attor-
ney for discovering us?"
Yes" said Hudson, "as Columbus
used to say when he discovered San
Salvador, I do it by the right vested
IN me by my s~overeigns.'"

Very good" said the chief as they

avenue elevated towards the wigwan
On Fourteenth street. we do not care
who discovers us so long as we COM

t, Hank"
THAT will be satisfactory" said Mr..
hudson, taking out a package oa I'M
ported cheese and eating it SO that
hey could have the ear to themselves.
