IN THE BOWERY. 4 a PENNILESS MAN IN A CHEAP LODG- ING-HOUSE. Something a Little Better Than “Carry: ing the Banner" — Thirty Lodgers Allowed to Each Floor —- A Gray- Bearded Unfortunate. [New York Mail and Express.) Suddenly a familiar voice greeted me “Hello, Tom! what are you standing there for? You look as if you had struck bad luck.

Seat ing myself in the “jovial ring," I began to look about me On my right was seated a man of fine physique, clad in garments that spoke of other and bette days. His handsome, intellectual face was fringed Ly a heavy beard sprinkled with gray, while his forehead, bright eyes and we il poised head told me that he was the possessor of attributes which, properly directed, would certainly have placed him leyond a Bowery lodging house. During a general conversation | happened to quote from a poet not widely read. “Beg pardon,” said he of the gray beard, “but you have misquoted that live, ” and to my amazement he proceeded to recite the entire poem to which the line belonged From further acquaintance with this man | learned that he was graduated with honors from Trinity college, Dublin, 1 also discovered that he had been a scout and guide on the plains; had kept a grocery in San Francisco; bad been a rail road surveyor; had charge of an oleomar garine factory in New 1 ork; had traveled for several engaged in various other enterprises, on'y to fail in each Lack of application and directness of purpose had been bis faith ful Nemisis.

The mattress was as unyielding as a landlord on rent day, and the cover ings were a narrow sheet with an uncon querable penchant for becoming a neck tie during the night, and an army blanket that had somehow escaped duty to Uncle fam Amid these Oriental surroundings 1 turned in. At the first glimpse of daylight over my partition I arose and went down stairs to find respite for my thoughts, in the Sun day papers The first to salute me were the three worthies who had carried the banner. They looked none the worst for their outing, and talked jovially of their experiences during the night.

Indeed, all through English so ciety one of the most charming facts is that people s personal a are not pub- licly or socially canvassed The English are good hosts, given to hospitality seidom without guests Young bring » hoolmates and other folks home with them, and relations are constantly visting among each other. The habitual presence of others than the family in the house leads to good and systematic house keeping, and helps enormously in the training of servants, who are always ex. pected to do their best It also gives ease and grace to entertaining when it is a cus- tom and not an infrequent and ceremo nial occasion. It is also potential in the ins who usually will not presume upon vis itors as they may upon the family, and will be more careful in their deportment, The rule is that English families spend their evenings together, and not in a ver hilarious fashion either. The men fol may play billiards, when the women will sit by aud do needle work and chat. Or, the family may retire to the drawing room after dinner, which is the usual cus tom, and have music and cards, accordin to the taste of each, or one is left free Lo reas Certain periodicals are regularly taken in, such as the illustrated, the society, and the comic papers, and these are always 1 be f with the last new novel, on the drawing room table.
