If requital I can act the part of a dunce in

My First Visit to Prow York.
Having come to a gONi understanding,
about hreakftst. bills of fare, and th.ngs in
g,eiaeral about the Astor, said Mr. Philikin.,
I told the clerk I wanted to see Broadway,
and asked him to tell me where I should go
to look for it.
. "Right in treat of the Hotel," says he.
"Why," says I, "you don't mean to Pay
that norm* street out there in front of the
house is Broadway t do your
"I do," says he,
"Well," says I, "theasuntose it is, and all
I have to say is, I'm disappointed. I expect
ed to fad Broadway a !wide street, which it
iwould take a spy-glass to look across; but
this is nothing ; I've seen wider streets than
these in Chicago."
The clerk mud he was sorry Rmadway-did
not suit me, and hoped I wouldn't let,my
opirions get out, as it might make the litho!)•
itants feel bad. He aaid if I would keep gill,
he'd speak to the Mayor nt the first Opportu
nity. I promised secrecy, shook hands With
him, and set out to see what could be seen.
As I went down the front steps inside, I
mot & gentleman and bowed to him, as we al
ways do to strangers, where I live ; but' he
took no notice of me at all. Thinks I you're
an ill-bred fellow, anyhow, with all year
clothes. At the foot of the stairs I met
another man and bowed to him. Us gate
me a saucy stare and passed on. Well, nays
I to mrsell, if that itthe gorse here in New
York, I can piny at it with the best of you ;
and I resolved not to Low to another soul un
ary I was bowed to first.
I sauntered along down Brenda - fly, looking
nt the signs ani shop windows, when sudden
ly a chap driving an omnilms beckoned to
me. Hello, thinks I, here's an old acquain
tance. but on looking at him closely I didn't
recognize him.
lie kept motioning to me, however. and
!poking at me fur a longtime. I hadn't Rime
d rod before another chap motioned to me.
ned then another. who Walt drithlg down
street, beckoned to sue, too. I thought some
of them marl know me and so I weat up to
one to RCS What it tocaut.
At he saw me coming lie poll6l up 'his
horses, rind says I, Well, neighbor, how 'are
you ? Where hare wu mean each other be
fore?
"Itide up?" says he.
"'Tow?" says 1.
"Itide ur 7" says he, "right sway, ;up
Broadway?"
"No,"eays I, "I don't trent to ride up
Broadway ; I'm going eother way."
"What did
_you stop the 'bus tor, then?"
said he.
••I didn't stop it: you stopped it yourself.
I replied ; and what's more, you stopped we,
too. You beckoned to me, and I thought
you knew me, or wanted to say sinnething."
"Yuu're a precious green one," said be;
and all the folks inside the omnibus laughed
as he drove eff.
I kept on down the street till I enure' to a
fire plug, on which I set down to root and look
mound.
The people came along in Pack crowds from
the church with a tall steeple (Trinity) that
I thought perhaps they hail just had a meet
ing down there, and that the people were
going homo•to breakfast; so I'd wait till they
got past.
Bot they kept coming thicker and thicker ;
so thinks - I they have a revival down at the
church, and I'll go down and see how they
are getting along, and give them some real
Kentucky revival hymns, on the regular hal
lelujah order.
So I went along dywn. Before I got to - the
church, I saw a chap standing on the
syde
walk with a stick on hi• shoulder; sn tfie top
of it was a big board; on this board *as
written, in big black letters,
"&rasscatts, Raw Ana or MOCK AITCTIONSt"
Thinks I, what is a Mock Auction? This
is something new; I'must look into it and
in my curiosity to penetrate the mysteries of
a Mock Auction, I forgot the revival at the big
church. •
the
chapwalked up to the house before which the
chap with the big board Ras standing, md
looked in.
A young man was selling all sorts of value
hie articles. Right nest doer soother man
was selling things too •, and it occurred to One
that he had got that...cloy with the big board
to stand before the brat man's door wow' to
injure his busines‘ This atrucit ma as be
ing r i ll mean my sympathies were lunched;
my Kentucky grit began to ihrinent, and f
e
termined to patronise the injured party . ; for
you know a Kentuckian always goes in for
fair pfny, end nn favors asked.
While I stood thinking over the matter, the
man who, was selling watches, (the "illinted
party") hippened to are me, and immediately
bowed to me in a very polite monitor. That
was the first bow I'd received in New Yetis,
and it bad trptn me a most gratifying ef
fect. Says I' to myself, I've found a gentle
man at Met who is no upstart, who under
stands the usages of polite society. I return
ed his bow, and he then politely asked rue to
walk in, which I did.
Just as I stepped in, he hid of a handwuns
gold watch fur fl 5. Bless my soul, thinks
I, what a fool I vral7not to bid on that! I
might then have a •nice gold watch to take
home to my wife, and how proud she would
have been
So, gays I, neighbor, hare you any more
or them
"Yes, sir," he answered, "here's a splend id
gold watch and chain, left for sale bye young
gentleman from Cuba. Rho is out of money,
and must sell at some price. I hope gentle-
men will Lid liberally, for the gentleman is
very worthy and in great need.'
The folks began to bid. "Three dollars,"
says one,'"fiva dollars," says another. Thinks
I, that's darned mean to take advantage of a
poor fellow that way ; so says I, "eighteen
dollar 4." I suppose that rather frightened
the company, for after that nobody else bid a
cent, and the watch was knocked down to me.
The man who sold it then went to the other
end of the counter, telling me to pay the
money to another man who was sitting at
the desk with a big account book open be
fore him. I paid the money, and then went
to the other end of the ro—tri for my watch.
When the a.u.aitizeor handed it to me, it
didn't look like the one that I Lid fur, and on
examining it closely, I saw it was nothing
but copper! So salt) . —
" See here, stranger. this watch is nothing
but copper, and I bought. a galefiketcb.'
"I didn't warrant it gold," add he.
' "Well, I don't care whatyoa warranieri it
for; you sold it for a gold wakth, and it 14,11'4
gold ; so just give me book my, money."
" I have no authority to return moue, to
any one. else I should be happy to aoeommo
date yon ; you renal - speak to the cashier, to
whom you paid your money." •

one connected with it could receive money,
but no one could pay it ; and dirge rides,
he said, were always strictly enforced. Well,
said I, you're a darned pretty set ; I never
hoard of such a system sefure ; I silent stand
it. The fact is, my Kentucky dander risjust
about this time, and I determined to whip the
rascal, if lie did not give me back my money;
btu before I could get to him, it chap, who
said h.. Kau a nuliceman, told tn. emfidential
ly that if I made a disturbance, he should Ire
obliged to take me to the Tombs. This put a
damper on my combativeness, for I beard
horrid stories about the Tombs, and wouldn't
have gone there for a dawn watches. So I
thought I'd coax him to give me back my mo
ney, hut he wouldn't listen to me at
1 looked at the watch. It was just about
the meanest looking thing that ever ticked ;
and thinks I, shall I give suds it thing to my
wife? I couldn't stand the thought. What!
take a copper watch home as a present to my
wife? to the mother of nay children? I just
took the this!, by the chain, end says I—
" See here, do you suppose I'll take such a
match home to my wife 3 No. ai r. Now, if
you don't give me hack my money, I'll take
it out on the sidewalk and dash it into a thou
sand pieces!"
" Oh !" says he. "it mut a lady's watchyou
wanted, was it? Why, then, didn't you my
so before? We can sell you n splendid mar
ried lady's watch—just the thin;; for your
wife, and I will give you a written guarantee
of its genuineness; there will be no cheat
about the watch.".
" Well." I replied, nut what shall Ido
with the $lB I've fooled away on this copper
thing 1"
"Oh, tbrit shall count on the other. I'll
take the copper watch hack."
Well, thinks I, save my $lB any bow,
so I took. hold of the one he showed me and
estunined it carefully. While I was inspect
ing it I heard a Aentlemnn behind me rayon a
whisper to a friend, ' , lsn't that a splendid
watch We worth at least 81LO ; I wish Iliad
my purse with me. so I could buy it ; I'd have
itotere." Thinks I, that ,e,entlrman knows all
about it, so there's no danger. I'll get it and
no cheat.
We began to bid. and every one seemed to
want the watch, fur they all hid freely. /t
fan np to $llB, and I got it. New thinks I,
here's a present fit for a wife; won't she he
proud? I handed over the copper watch and

The Mysterious Piano.
Not long since I was invited to pay a vi.it
t 4 same friends out of town. In the family
were three young ladies, besides young chil
dren. Being musical, we spent the greater
part of the first evening of my visit singing
and playing, and, at a proper hour retired fir
the night, as we supposed. As I was a great
favorite with all the girls, each one wanted to
sleep with me, and to effect this, it wns deci
ded that inethed of going to my room, I should
remain in their duithle-bedded room. Ac
conilingly, instead of going to sleep, we lay
and talked (as girls often do) some hours.—
Milly touched me on the arm in the middle of
a moat interesting account I aim gi%itig her
of the opera, and certain regular attendants
there, and said:
" C., do you hear that ?"
" Hear what? I do not listen to people
when they are not talking to me," naturally

To make Butter id Fivo * Minutes with-

A enrrespondent highly recommends the
following recipe: -.-After itraining_the milk,
set it away fur about twehe hours, fur the
cream to "rise." (Milk dishes ought to hate
peel strong handles to lift them by.) After
standing as above, set the milt, without dis
turbing it, ou the stove, let it -remain there
until you observe the coating of cream on the
surface assume a wrinkled appearance, but
be careful it demi not boil, as should this
be the ease the cavern• will mir with the
milk and cannot again be•colfeeted. Now
set it away till quite cold and, then skim MT
