You will here find, what to see and how to see it; where to go and how to go; what to avoid. As to the correctness of this Directory, and the high standing of the business houses to be found in this volume, we refer to: Gov. E. D. Morgan. Ex-Lieut.-Gov. Raymond. James G. Bennett, Esq.

He that writes, Or makes a feast, more certainly invites His judges than his friends; there's not a guest But will find something wanting or ill drest. Sir R. Howard. The necessity of a volume like the present to visitors of New York, has been of serious importance. Strangers to our Metropolis are seldom duly impressed with its true magnificence, immense area and variety of wonders, for want of proper directions. Citi- zens, justly proud of their monuments to ambition and enterprise — in public and private buildings, parks, and the vast sources of intel- lectual and social enjoyment extended to visitors — heretofore have been unable to present a complete and authentic guide worthy their city and strangers' demands. For non-residents this work will be found invaluable. Special attention has been paid to details and objects of interest. Poetical quotations and gems of wit are introduced to entertain and please the reader. We refer to the Index, as showing the utility of our publication ; it will be found to contain a vast amount of information, which must be of great use and interest to every body. Hoping to please, aiming to instruct, desirous of presenting strangers and citizens with a guide worthy our Metropolis, and exhibit our city in its true grandeur to historians and tourists, this volume is most respectfully Dedicated, to its Readers.

Here laden carts with thundering wagons meet. Wheels clash with wheels and crowd the street. — Gay. Manhattan Island, the present site of Xew York City, is 14 miles in length, l£ wide, and contains 1-4,000 acres, or 23 square miles. It was discovered in the year of our Lord, 1609, by Mas- ter Henry Hudson, who sailed from Holland in a vessel (the Half- Moon) to seek a north-west passage to China. In the year 1615, Oloffe Yan Kortlandt purchased from the Indians the entire island for 60 guilders ($24), and the first actual settlement was commen- ced, consisting of four houses. In 1648 the city was laid out in streets, and contained 120 houses and 1000 inhabitants. In 1725 the first newspaper (the Xew York Gazette) commenced its exis- tence. In 1825 the gigantic Erie Canal was completed, at a cost of about $7,000,000. In 1835 the great fire took place, and de- stroyed in one night more than 600 buildings and $20,000,000 of property. In 1842 the vast work of bringing the water of the Croton River was completed, after 17 years of labor, at an expense of $12,000,000. The distance from Croton to Xew York is 50 miles. The average consumption of water is 30.000,000 gallons daily. In 1845 property was destroyed- by fire to the amount of about $7,000,000. In 1850 there were 37,500 buildings, and 550,000 inhabitants. In the returns of the census for 1855 we had nearly 700,000 inhabitants, which at the same rate of increase will be in 1870, 1,000,000. A more correct idea of the population of the u Metropolitan City" can be drawn from the fact that it is the third city in the world, three times larger than the united popu- lation of Boston, Cambridge, Roxbury, South Boston and Charles- town. It also contains one fortieth part of the entire population of the United States. The amount of assessed property is about $500,000,000, giving an annual revenue of nearly $6,000,000 for city government. Broadway is 14 miles long; there are over 300 miles of paved streets, and 20,000 gas-lamps, costing annually over $400,000 to light. New York presents 1,300 different busi- ness pursuits, represented by 21,500 business houses; giving employment to over 250,000 persons. It has 57 banks with a gross capital of $67,647,769. Also 20 savings banks with about $25,000,000 on deposit, and a vast number of private banking houses, engaging several millions of capital. The imports are about $150,000,000— the exports, $50,000,000, and the receipts of gold from California this year will amount to nearly $100,000,000. 8 POPULATION OF THE CITY. New Yorkers are the first in every magnificent enterprise. Their commerce floats in every portion of the globe, and, to properly estimate their unprecedented prosperity, it is but necessary to pass a reflection as to New York now and New York 200 years ago. With this brief sketch of New York City I close, referring all visitors to this volume, as the source of any and every information, desirous to make a visit to " The Metropolis of the Western World" one of pleasure or profit. t G-. Danielson Carroll. But words are things ; and a small drop of ink Falling like dew upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think. Byron's Don Juan. POPULATION AT VARIOUS PERIODS. According to the State Census of 1855 — prepared by Dr. Frank lin B. Hough, of Albany, under the direction of the Secretary of State — Manhattan Island, comprising the city and county of New York, in 1628 contained but 270 souls, all told ; in 1645, the Manhattan settlement contained scarcely one hundred men. beside traders ; and even in 1647 there were estimated to be but about 250, or at most 300 men, able to bear arms. Under the adminis- tration of Governor Stuyvesant, the colony began to flourish, as a survey made by Captain de Kbninck, in 1656, showed that New Amsterdam contained 120 houses and 1,000 souls. From the last-named period, the population of the city and county increased as follows : 1656 1,000 16T3 2,500 1696 4,302 1731 8,628 1756 10,381 1773 21,876 1786 23,614 I 1S30 202,569 1790 33,131 j 1835 270,U6S 1S00 60,489 I 1840 312,852 1810 96,373 1 1845 371,223 1820 123,706 ! 1S50 515,394 1S25 166,0S9 1 1855 629,S10 Of the 629,810 inhabitants of the city in 1855, there were 297,870 white males, and 320,194 white females; 5,116 colored males, and 6,724 colored females. Of the colored persons, 10,807 were not liable to taxation. The civil condition of our popula- tion is set down as follows: — single persons, 383,434; married, 217,731; widowers, 5,894; widows, 22,845. The number of legal voters was estimated to be 88,877; of whom 46,173 were native, and 42,704 naturalized. The entire number of aliens in the city was set down at 232,678. All that glisters is not gold, Often have you heard that told.— Shakspeare. Xote. — It will be greatly to the advantage of strangers visiting our city to bear in mind the above quotation ; and its particular applicability in making purchases; for in New York every branch of trade has its representatives, whose business is done > on the plan of the mock auctioneer. Such places are well known and avoided by the residents of the city. In furnishing a directory for strangers to our Metropolis, vje deem it incom- plete without noticing the leading houses in every commercial pursuit, as a safe and necessitous measure, to save recipients annoyances and loss of money. By taking this directory as your guide, which has been furnished at an immense labor and cost, you need not err. There are many advantages offered by these houses, which cannot be found elsewhere in the city ; a few of which we enumerate. 1st. They import or manufacture their own goods, saving a jobber's profit to the purchaser. 2d. They are exclusively in the line of goods under which we notice them. 3d. The amount of their sales is so large, they are enabled to sell at very small profits. 4th. They are houses of one price, each and all customers paying the same for articles purchased. 5 th. A great advantage and immense satisfaction is. the large and magnificent stocks offered for your inspection. Every taste, however fastidious, or whatever the extent of the purse, can be suited. Whatever article of merchandise you require, look at the index, and you will find the directions to responsible houses. CARROLL & CO., Publishers. 10 GOLDEN" INKLINGS FOR LOVERS OF THE BEAUTIFUL. CITY SCENES. ""Without a smile from partial beauty won, Oh, what were man? — a world without a sun/' To facilitate the pleasure seeker's desire, without unnecessary consumption of time, with a surety of his seeing the chief objects of beauty and admiration in and about our metropolis, we have selected those which no stranger should omit seeing, while others worthy of attention, will be found interspersed throughout the volume. The variety is so numerous, a mere mention of the par- ticular objects of interest is made, while the more definite informa- tion can be obtained from the volume, where every subject is classed under its appropriate head. We call attention to the City Hall, Custom House, Merchants' Exchange, Astor Library, Mercantile Library, Coopers Institute, Bible House, Academy of Music, Galleries of Paintings, European Steamers, Reservoirs, Theatres, Hotels (first in the world), various splendid architectural buildings devoted to the mercantile interests. Stores, whose daz- zling elegance and display of costly wares excel the extravagan- cies and liberality for which the Parisian Bazaars are noted. Fifth avenue, the most sumptuous street of private residences on either continent, various parks, Broadway, the pride of New Yorkers, etc. From the Battery can be had magnificent views of the Harbor, Governor's and Staten Islands, Brooklyn and Jersey City. Those mentioned, a few of the delights to be seen in the city, deserve particular attention, also those . in the vicinity, and immediately connected with our Metropolis, of which the most notable are High Bridge,' a stupendous structure, "Ward, Governor's and Biackweirs Islands, Elysian Fields, Hoboken; Navy- Yard, Brooklyn ; Greenwood Cemetery, the most beautiful " last home y on this continent, celebrated as such for its romantic loveliness, and costly, magnificent monuments and tombs. TO INVALIDS. Invalids visiting the city for medical treatment or advice, will here find the address of several physicians who stand at the head of their profession, and we deem the advice, call upon some one of our list, seriously worthy the afflicted's attention. We also give the address of celebrated oculists and aurists, arti- ficial arms, legs and eye depots, and the most notable manufac- turers of invalids' chairs and carriages. £3^" Refer to the Index.

It is related of a Virginia negro boy, who professed to be dreadfully alarmed at the cholera, that he took to the woods to avoid it, and was there found asleep. Being asked why he went to the woods, he said, u to pray." 4 tBut," said the overseer, 44 how was it you went to sleep?" 44 Don't know, massa, 'zactly," responded the negro, 44 but I 'spect I must over-prayed myitef" Going Farther and Faring Worse. — Theophilus Cibber, who was very extravagant. one day asked his father for a hundred pounds. "Zounds," sir," said Celley, 41 catl't you live upon your salary ? When I was your age.

" Women govern us ; let us render them perfect. The more they are enlightened, so much the more shall we be. On the cultivation of the mind of women depends the wisdom of men. It is by women that nature writes on the hearts of men." Men' are like weathercocks, which are never constant or fixed but when they are worn-out or rusty. True beauty is but virtue made visible in outward grace. Beauty and vice are disjoined by nature herself. It is with life as with coffee; ho who drinks it pure must not drain it to the dregs. Far fetched and dear bought, is a bargain for the ladies.

Valuable Presents. — Some one speaking of new-years' presents says, • "The best thing to give to your enemy If forgiveness ; to your opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your children, a good example; to your father, deference ; to your mother, love; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity ; to God, obedience." The Past and Present. — "New England," says Cotton Mather in 1718, "is now so far improved as to have the best part of two hundred meeting- houses." What would he say now (1859) to find, as they are, ovor 6,000 ?

A lively Hibernian exclaimed, at a party where Theodore Hook shone as the evening star, " Och, Master Theodore, but you're the hook that nobody can bate.'''' While an officer was bowing, a cannon ball passed over his head and de- capitated a soldier who stood behind him. ''You see," said the officer to those near him, "that a man never loses any thing by politeness." 3* 30 CHURCHES AND MINISTERS.

It is this that produces the most grand and heroic deeds, or impels to the most dreadful mines. Save mo but from this passion, and I can defy the others. They are mere urchin*, but this is a giant.

They are a beautiful illustratimi of the age we live in. There are only four of these presses in the world, one each belonging to the Tribune, Times, Herald and the London Times, built for them by the inventor, R Hoe, of our city. To lovers of machin- jery it will be a great treat; to curiosity seekers we know of no greater j curiosity than these presses. They were built for the Times, Herald and Tribune, (all former presses being inadequate for the demands upon these establishments,) at a cost of $30,000 each, are run by 40-horse power en- 'gines, require 16 men and boys to feed them, striking off the same instant j 10 impressions, at the rate of 15,000 copies of their papers per hour. The j capital employed by these establishments is $250,000 each. A visit to these ! establishments will convince all that there is but one Horace Greeley, one ! James G. Bennett and one Henry Raymond, the Napoleons of the Press.

The tricks and artifices resorted to, by the sharpers who make cities their head-quarters, are innumerable. We give the leading ones, and a few words of advice, which we deem sufficient. Pickpockets — Abound everywhere — at depots, hotels, churches, in the omnibuses, at funerals and all public places. In crowds you should constantly be on your guard, and large sums of money should be left with a friend, or in the safe at the hotel. Confidence Men. — A game which is extensively^ practised, and very successfully, is that of noticing a stranger's arrival, and the registration of his name at the hotel. At a convenient opportu- nity you are recognized as an old acquaintance. This is his intro- duction, and he disinterestedly offers to show you the lions of the city ; which offer^ if accepted, results in the loss of your money by some of his tricks. ♦ Mock Auctions. — Scarcely a person of any degree of newspaper reading but what has read of parties victimized by the mock auctions; and yet there are nearly 20 of these establishments, supporting some 200 apologies for men. Every day the Police Report tells the same old story, and hundreds quietly suffer their loss, ashamed of their verdancy. If you wish to avoid paying the price of a gold watch for a brass one, be.vare vf the red flay and the auction sign. Bogus Ticket Offices. — Thousands are grossly imposed upon by the bogus ticket-offices. They have their runners at the depots and hotels. They are well dressed, very affable; offering their services to avoid your being imposed upon. Under no circum- stances allow a stranger to conduct you to a ticket-office. "We give the correct offices in this volume, pages 11 and 12. Gamblers of New York are elegantly dressed, of most affable and pleasing manners. Beware of their dens, as it is preposterous for a novice to attempt to excel the maker of a game. Pocket-Book Droppers. — A trick played very successfully. You are accosted by a man in a great hurry, holding in his hand an apparently well-filled pocket-book. He is obliged to leave the city immediately, and will transfer to you the pocket-book, so that you can get the reward (which he is sure will be offered), if } r ou will pay him $25. Should you invest, you will find the pocket- book well filled with worthless paper. Business Chances. — YOung men of small means should beware of the splendid business chances (partners retiring Ac., &c,) ad- vertised ; as these opportunities to make fortunes by investing from $250 to $500, are impossibilities and gross swindles. This Volume should be your constant companion. Consult it for pleasure or business. ARTIFICIAL ARMS AND LEGS. 51 COMMERCE AND ART. "Each climate needs what other climes produce, And offers something to the general use A Portion of this Directory from this page is devoted to the noticing of the leading houses of this city; one hundred different kinds of business are here represented, by houses which have the largest and most desirable stocks, and sell at the lowest prices.

A visit and examination of their merchandise will not incur Vie necessity of a purchase. CARROLL & CO. Peov. — In wiving and thriving, men should take counsel of all the world.

The Anglesey Leg has now been before the public twenty years, and is worn by persons in every state in the Union, some walking ten miles and upwards daily — many wearing pairs, and one per- son who has lost both knee-joints, has walked four miles a day with these limbs, for the past eight years. This is the only case on record. As a substitute for a lost limb, the Anglesey Leg is light, strong, and always reliable, and is unrivalled only by nature. Some of the advantages obtained in my new Patent, is the elastic side motion of the ankle-joint, which imparts a peculiarly 'grateful and life-like feeling to the wearer, facilitating the walk and closely imitating the natural limb. W. S. offers the above, after 30 years' experience in Europe and this country, as superior to any Artificial Leg known. Also Selpho's Patent Artificial Hand — a valuable substitute for a lost Hand, which is so arranged that the wearer can open and shut it, use a knife, fork, write, &c.

WINANT'S BILLIARD TABLES, 71 Gold Street, X. Y. The oldest and mo^t extensive manufactory- in America. Winant's Patent Excelsior Spring Billiard Cushion, Patented August 10th, 1858. The best Cushions in use, and only real improvement of late in- vention. The advantages presented by Winant's Patent Compound Spring Billiard Cushions, are: 1st. The cushion is the lowest one extant, thus enabling the player to strike the ball with a horizontal cue. 2d. It is the most lively and durable cushion in the world, because of the insertion in the rubber of a flexible metallic spring, there- by imparting the greatest elasticity possible to be attained. 3d. In consequence of its lowness and flexibility, the ball cannot wedge and. will not die out against the cushion, nor is it subjected to the false motion found in other cushions. 4th. The cushion is suited alike to the amateur and scientific billiard-player, and is the only one on which true angles can be made. Warranted free from all the faults found in other billiard cushions. Patent cushions ap- plied to old tables at short notice, and at reasonable rates. Bil- liard tables made to order in a neat and elegant style.

Note — Book buyers will find the above stock particularly desir- able to select from. We refer you to Mr. Allen. — Editor. Not always actions show the man: we find Who does a kindness is not therefore kind; Perhaps prosperity becalmed his breast; Perhaps the wind j net shifted from the east ; Not therefore humble he who seeks retreat, Pride guides his steps, and bids him shun the great. "Who combats bravely is not therefore brave, He dreads a death-bed like the meanest slave. Who reasons wisely is not therefore wise ; His force in reasoning, not in acting, lies. — Pope. Happiness lies in the taste, and not in the things; it is from having what we desire that we are happy — not from having what others think desirable. Power. — We have more power than will ; and it is often by way of excuse to ourselves that we fancy things impossible. Gardening for Ladies. — Make up your beds early in the morning: sew buttons on your husband's shirt; do not rake up any grievances; protect the young and tender branches of your family ; plant a smile of good tem- per in your face, and carefully root out all angry feelings, and expect a good crop of happiness.

"Were we all working men, where would all of us find room? If Ave were all producers, all the produce how consume? And what would be the fate of art, and literature's doom? If some must consume that the others may produce, For enjoying good things there's a capital excuse, And that's the way how I should like to make myself of use. Some landlords and fundholders clearly there must be, On rent and on dividends subsisting labor-free, And a mortgage upon industry would be just the thing for me. — Punch.

Criticism. —There is a well-known fable told of an ancient painter who opened a picture to public criticism, requesting that every person who ob- served a fault would put a mark upon it When the artist came, in the evening, to take his painting home, he found it one mass of marks of disap- probation. Every critic found in it something to condemn. The next day, i having carefully erased the marks, the painter again displayed his work bf ' art, requesting that every beholder who noticed a beauty would put a mark = upon it. At evening, he found the canvas was covered with signs of appro- bation. Every part had found its admirers in similar touches with those '. that had, only the day previous, been condemned by the critics. Is not this ■ fable true of the world to-day ? Do not the majority of those who criticise, ; either to praise or condemn, follow, each one, the bias of their own taste, ; rather than any just standard of literature or art ? ! Depend on Youkself. — Most young men consider it a great misfortune to be born poor, or not to have capital enough to establish themselves at the outset in life in a good and comfortable business. This is a mistaken notion. So far from poverty being a misfortune to them, if we may judge from what we every day behold, it is really a blessing; the chance is more than ten to one against him who starts with a fortune. Peov. — A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. LOOKS, HOMOEOPATHIC.

Columbia College was chartered by George II., in 1754, under the title of King's College, which was changed to its present title after the. Revolution. Itcontains an excellent library, is well endowed, and is presided over with great ability by Charles King. Some of the leading minds in our country, both before and since the Revolu- tion, were educated within the walls of Columbia College. Irish. — On the edge of a small river in the county of Cavan, Ireland, there is a stone with the following strange inscription, no -doubt intended for the information of strangers travelling "that way : " N. B. When this stone is out of sight it is not safe to ford tha river." But this is surpassed by the famous post erected some years since by the surveyors of the Kent roads in England : ,l This is the bridle-path to Feversham — if you can't read this, you had better keep the main road." Pr:de. — It seems that Nature, which has so wisely disposed our bodily organs with a view to our happiness, has also bestowed on us pride, to spare us the pain of being aware of our imperfections. Swift remarks, ''The power of fortune is confessed only by the miser- able ; for the happy impute all their success to prudence and merit. " GG BOOTS AXD GAITERS FOR LADIES.

Foote, on being scolded by a lady, said, U I have heard of tartar and brimstone: you are the cream of the one and the flower of the other/' Difficulties. — Difficulties are clearly God's own intervention, to try our tempers, and prove the metal that is in us. Without them, life would be neither a struggle nor a trial, and man would run his race, leaving no marks to distinguish his course from that of other men. Difficulties, which arc the plea of the ti:;ud and laggard, the excuse of the idle, and the shoal on which the multitude wreck their richer argosies, are the sport of the bold and the lM)ur of the persevering. The earnest, manly spirit looks upon the difficul- ties that hinder the coward and sluggard, as opportunities for distinction. A Fine Thought. — A French writer has said, that " to dream gloriously, !you must act gloriously while you are awake : and to bring angels down to j converse with you in your sleep, you must labor in the cause of virtue dur- j ing the day. 1 ' j Good Copies. — The only good copies are those which exhibit the defects | of bad originals.

The medical department of Columbia College was merged into this institu- tion. Under able professors, it vies with the University Medical College in its claims upon the public regard. Its museum may be visited by applying to the janitor on the premises. Science and Religion. — True science and true religion are twin sisters, and the separation of either from the other is sure to prove the death of both. Science prospers exactly in proportion as it is religious; and religion flourishes in exact proportion to the scientific depth and firmness of its basis. A Candid and Conscientious Witness. — A witness, on entering the box, had a testament presented to him, but he declined to be sworn.

The Colored Orphan Asylum. — An association was organized in 1836, for the benefit of colored orphans, and incorporated by an act of the legisla- ture. The sum of $3,000 was soon collected : and arrangements were made for commencing operations on a limited scale; but so great was the preju- dice against that portion of the destitute whom the society proposed to re- lieve, that suitable premises could not be procured. After a time, however, two lots of land, with a house, on Twelfth street, were purchased for $9,000] In 1840, the manager reported the receipt of $13,000 as a building fund ; 'and two years after, the corporation of the city made the society a giant of 20 lots of ground on Fifth avenue, between Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets.

This was done by Faris. Look you now what follows: Here is the other, a bleared and mildewed thing, Bad in position, worse in expression, With neither grace, nor comeliness, nor finish : A base abortion all.

Leake and Watts Orphan House was founded by a legacy of John George Leake, who died in this city, June 2, 1827; the' name of Watts was added out of respect to John Watts, Esq , the executor of Mr. Leake, who withdrew, in favor of the institution, a claim which he held to a part of the estate. The house is situated between Ninth and Tenth avenues, on 111th and 112th streets, some seven miles from the City Hall. It contains a main building, and two wings, the whole presenting a front of 206 feet. It was open for the admissionof orphans in 1842. There are about 26 acres of land connected with this institution. The whole is unencumbered, and has an income capable of supporting from 200 to 250 children. This institution, like the New York Orphan Asylum, is admirably conducted, and open to visitors.

In this branch of the art the subscriber has attained great success, and, by the aid of the Parisian artists in his employ, can guarantee a perfect likeness, life size, or less, from a very small Daguerreotype. The Miniature Photograph for presents, is a very complete and beautiful picture, possessing all the merits of the ivory miniature, and much superior as a likeness.

Money. — Those who think that money will do any thing, may be suspected of doing any thing for money. Christian Life consists in faith and charity. Rum has sunk more seamen than all the tempests that ever blew. Do the Frowns of faith startle you ? Fear her smiles still more. Reputation is like polished steel — it may be tarnished by a breath.

As a vest, it is equal in style and material to any garment of the kind to be obtained, the float, or life-preserver, being entirely concealed. I shall urge all officers of vessels, who value their own lives or the lives of the passengers, to procure Delano's Life-preserving Coats, Vests, etc., and would recommend all passengers who would feel that security which they cannot feel without it, always to be supplied with what I deem an indisnensable article.

It is sur- mounted by a dome, in which there is a large sky-light, rising from the centre, resting in part on 8 Corinthian fluted columns of Italian marble, 41 feet high, and 5 feet in diameter. It cost, including the ground, $1,500,000. Open, free to visitors, from 8 A. M. to 5 P. M.

DR. ALBERT C. McNULTY, SURGEON DENTIST, 21 Bond Street, New York. Dr. McNulty respectfully calls the attention of New York visitors desiring Dental operations, to the following advantages to be derived at his Dental establishment. 1st. The teeth are garnished with a continuous artificial gum, roof, and ruga, of the mouth, without seam or crevice, with all the delicate tints and shades peculiar to those of nature. 2d. The sunken portions of the face are restored to their original fulness, thus rejuvenating the waning cheek, which cannot be done by the usual mode of inserting artificial teeth. 3d. The insides of the teeth and gums have the same form as the natural organs — to this form the tongue is readily adapted, and the enunciation becomes clear and distinct. A truthful expression is also given to the teeth and mouth, which makes them appear as the prototype of nature. This system adds great importance to Dental science, as it com- bines the skill of the artist with that of the Dentist, whose talents are displayed, not upon canvas, but upon the living features of the face. Prices axd work. — I guarantee my work of a superior char- acter, while my prices will be found most satisfactory. Call and examine my specimens. Note. — We most cordially recommend Dr. McNulty to parties re- quiring dentistry. His work is superior and charges mod- erate. — Editor.

We refer the dental profession to Mr. Brown. — Editor. ^ Durer's Anachronism — Grotesque anachronisms sometimes appear in the efforts of painters. In one of Albert Durer's paintings of St. Peter denying the Saviour, a Roman legionary, is represented as smoking a pipe of tobacco! In a Dutch picture of Abraham offering up Isaac, the patriarch is shown in the act of holding a blunderbuss to his son's head. To praise good actions heartily is in some sort to take part in them. Virtue. — However wicked me.i may be, they dare not appear to be the enemies of virtue L and when they wish to persecute it, they pretend to be- lieve that it is false', or suppose it capable of crimes. Women who love, more readily pardon great indiscretions than little in- fidelities. Fortune.— We should manage our fortune as we do our health ; enjoy it when good, be patient when it is bad, and never apply violent remedies, ex- cept in an extreme necessity. Miss Pope was railed one evening in the green-room, by a certain actress noted more for her gallantries than professional talents, on the longness of her waist, on which she observed, 4k I could only wish it, madam, as slender as your reputation.'"

Worcester's Royal Quarto Dictionary, now nearly beady, 10,000 words added to the vocabulary. These are mostly techni- cal and scientific erms. More than 1,200 Illustrations of terms of Botany, Mechanics. Architecture, Heraldry, and ornithology. A complete treatment op synonymous terms. The Synonymes and Illustrations are incorporated in the body of the Text, in immediate connection with the words to which they relate thus saving the inconvenience of reference either to a separate or to another part of the same work. The Pronunciation of every word indicated by both phonetic and accentual indices, and in all cases of doubtful or various pronun- ciation, the different methods given with the authorities. The above are some of the features of this great work, in regard to which the most eminent scholars of the country, to whom the advance sheets have been submitted, do not hesitate to say "It is the best Dictionary of the English language. " It will be ready in a few weeks, and we risk nothing in assuring the public that it will be found not unworthy the repu- tation of Dr. Worcester or the expectations raised by its announcement. The delay in its publication has been absolutely necessary to secure these ends, and to make it an accurate and reliable work of reference, for the scholar as well as the professional and business man. Note. — The high character of the testimonials in favor of the above work, places it at the head of Dictionaries. Every Scholar^ professional and business man should have a copy. — Editor.

It has a substantial building on Fourteenth street, near Third avenue, where its fine library and physiological collections are deposited. It is under the immediate direction of able professors, whose clinical lectures alford to students rare opportunities for practical instruction. Great Question. — Henry, in his History of England, states that the fol- lowing parts of learning were cultivated, in some degree, in Britain, during the period from 1066 to 1216: grammar, rhetoric, logic, metaphysics, physics, ethics, scholastic divinity, the canon law, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, astrology and medicine. He also gives the following, to show the trifling questions that were agitated by the logicians of that period : — When a hog is carried to market with a rope tied round his neck, which is held at the other end by a man, whether is the hog carried to market by the rope or the man ? Eloquence. — There is as much eloquence in the tone of voice, in the eye, and in the air of a speaker, as in his choice of words. Proy. — Love, being jealous, makes a good eye look asquint. Frov. — He that is poor, all his kindred scorn him ; he that is rich, all are kin to him. I DRUGS, COD-LITER OIL. 97 Take heed what you say, sir !

It has stood the test of over ten years' experience, and is recom- mended by all the most eminent physicians as the most valuable remedy in use.

Prepared only by Hegeman & Co., successors to H. C. & Co., and sold by all Druggists throughout the United States. Drugs. — Every body at all interested in tne pursuit of dispens- ing drugs and medicines, is well aware that the clerks in the estab- lishment of H. & Co., are enjoined most solemnly to be radically particular in compounding every preparation which may fall under their immediate care, or be subject to their supervision. " Send out nothing that you would be unwilling to take if you were ill," is a standing rule, or order of the concern. In the purchase of materials, the motto is, always " let the price be secondary in con- sideration to the quality."

Note.— Vie reputation of the above firm stands at the head of dis- pensing druggists. Call at any of their four houses for anything you require. — Editor. Married Men and St. Peter. — Once upon a time there were two friends who were greatly attached to each other, and who agreed that whichever of them died first should appear to the other, and tell him how matters went in the other world. They were both married men. and the first who died ful- filled his promise, and appeared to his friend. M How do you get on ?" asked the latter. " Famously," replied the ghost. "When I presented myself at the gate above, St. Peter said to me : 1 What has been thy life V ' Scnor," I replied, 'I am a poor man : I was married ' 'Say no more,' said his holiness: 'pass in, you have gone through purgatory, "and now you may enter into glory !' " Then the apparition vanished, leaving his friend greatly satisfied and consoled. In process of time his wife died, and he inarriea' again. "When the hour arrived that he was carried out of his house, feet foremost, he presented himself in high spirits to St. Peter. " What has been thy life ?" asked the saint. "I was married twice,"' replied the new-comer, confidently taking a step in advance. "Back, gossip, back !" cried St. Peter, locking the gate in his face : there is no room in heaven for born idiots." 'Desires. — It is happy for human nature that there are desires which can- not be satisfied. Otherwise, the most sorry man would make himself master of the world. Pkov. — A pilot is not chosen for his riches, but his knowledge. 9 93 druggists' faxcy goods.

When Daniel Webster was in the West, some years ago, Mr. B., one of the most conspicuous citizens, on being introduced to the distinguished statesman, addressed him as follows : " I have read your Spelling-book and Dictionary, Mr. Webster, but I never before had the pleasure of your ac- quaintance." Evil. — There are some people of whom we should never have believed evil, unless we had seen it ; but there are none at whom we ought to be surprised when we do see it. Gentleness. — It is only persons of firmness that can have real gentleness; those who appear gentle are, in general, only of a weak character, which easily changes into asperity. Prov. — Marry in haste, and repent at leisure ; 'tis good to marry late or never. Confidence. — The desire of being pitied or admired often makes the greatest part of our confidence. Men are more satirical from vanity than from malice. Love is sweet tyranny, because the lover endureth his torments willingly. We have more indolence in the mind than in the body.

New York Juvenile Asylum.— Office 23 West 13th street; Asylum, • 175th street, near High Bridge. The objects of this benevolent institution are to furnish a refuge, in the true sense" of the word, for the children of our ; city whom misfortune, the vices or the crimes of parents, or orphanage, have made friendless and homeless, leaving them exposed to the debiting influences of bad associates, and the temptations to crime which abound in our midst. The Juvenile Asylum is not a prison like the House of Befog* Reached by stages from Broadway, corner 32d street, Lessing, the celebrated German poet, was remarkable for a frequent absence of mind. Having missed money, at different times, without being able to discover who took it, he determined to put the honesty of his servants to the test, and left a handful of gold on the table.

Kean's Expenditures.— From the January of 1814 to that of 1S33, Kean was the star of the British stage, and his individual talents drew more, and for the exertion of these talents he himself received more, than any three performers that coexisted with him. His books show a sum nearly averag- ing £10,000 a year for eighteen years. How, with his active life, so vast a sum could have been expended — for he never gambled — is one of the things which those who knew him best can never cease to wonder at. He had some silly habits of display, such as travelling on all occasions in a carriage and four; but his household expenses were always on a moderate scale; yet a few days before his death he was in danger of an arrest for 'a sum not exceeding £100. It is more easy to become acquainted with men in general than with any man in particular. , Why fly from the unhappy ? Their state makes us more sensible of the ' value of the happiness we possess.

Germany — main speed, 36; express, 58; maximum, 76; United States — main speed, 40; express, S6; maximum, 100. France — main speed, 40; express, 72; maximum, S6.

A Russian Peculiarity. — The Russians drink first and eat afterward, and never drink without eating. If wine and biscuits are placed on the table, every one takes a glass of wine first, and then a biscuit; and at the zakouska before dinner, those who take the customary glass of votka take an atom of caviare or cheese after it, but not before it. As a general rule, the Russians drink only at the beginning of a repast.

Thomas's Prediction. — When Thomas was preparing one of his first almanacs, a man who was engaged upon the work with him asked what he should say about the weather opposite a certain week in July. Thomas humorously or peevishly replied, "Thunder, hail and snow." It was so put down and printed; and it so happened that it did thunder, hail and snow at the very time. This fortunate prediction raised the almanac-maker in the estimation of many, and made his almanacs the most popular in America. Quarrels would not last Ions: if the fault was only on one side.

The edifice is of granite, surrounded by shade trees and shrubbery. It was incorporated in 1^38, and has always been a flourishing institution. It has a fine library selected with great care ; and excellent philosophical apparatus for illus- trating the subjects of astronomy, chemistry, and other branches of science. Its course of instruction embraces history, general philosophy, mathematics and belles lettres, by which young ladies are thoroughly prepared for the pursuit of general knowledge, for the duties of teachers, and for that moral and intellectual power so necessary to bo possessed by the mothers of our republic. A MiscniEVOUS Boy, having got possession of his grandfather's spectacles, privately took out the glasses.

Lawyers. — According to the u Asiatic Researches," a very curious mode of trying the title to land is practised in Ilindostan. Two holes are dug in the disputed spot, in each of which the lawyers on either side put one of their legs, and remain there until one of them is tired, or complains of being stung by the insects, in which case his client is defeated. In this country it is too generally the client, and not the lawyer, "who puts his foot in." We ake fond of conversing with those we love; why therefore cannot man, who loves himself so well, remain a moment with himself? Have the Courage to speak your mind when it is necessary that you should do so, and hold your tongue when it is better that you should be silent. The Envious Man is tormented, not only by all the ills that befall him- self, but by all the good that happens to another. He is made gloomy, not only by his own cloud, but by another man's sunshine. Destiny. — Some editor says that the destiny of the world often hangs on the smallest trifles.

The pews are free to strangers. Corner of Vesey and Broad- way. Faith. — That was a most admirable and appropriate answer which a poor woman once gave to a minister who asked her "What is faith ?" "I am ignorant," she replied, "and I cannot answer well; but I think faith is taking our Heavenly Father at his word." It was the gifted Summerfield who first mentioned this anecdote in a dis- course delivered in this city, soon after his arrival in the country. An old Lady, whose son was about to proceed to the Black Sea, among her parting admonitions, gave him strict injunctions not to bathe in that sea, for she did not want him to come home a "nigger."

The corporation is one of the oldest, and by far the wealthiest of the kind, in the United States. Its riches consist principally of real estate in the city of New York, now valued at several millions of dollars. The first place of worship in the city was a small wooden building in the fort at Bowling Green, and known as the Dutch Church. When the English took possession of the city in 1644, episcopal service was held there, and it was called " the king's chapel." This was the pare i if of the episcopal churches in America. Curran, when opposed to Lord Clare, said he reminded him of a chim- ney-sweep, who had raised himself by dark and dusky ways, and then called aloud to the neighbors to witness his dirty elevation. It is often much easier to ruin a man of principle than none, for the for- mer may be ruined through his scruples. Knavery Is supple and can bend, but honesty is firm and upright, and yields not.

The Earth's Heat.— Experiments by Professor Smith, at Edinburg, with thermometers imbedded in the earth at varying depths, showed a gradually increasing heat of one degree Fahrenheit for every forty feet of depth, so that at two and a half miles water would boil, and at one hundred miles deep all things must be in a state of fusion. Pridk. — Men are sometimes accused of pride because their accusers would be proud themselves if they were in their place. — Shenstone. A Smart Retort. — The following is from the pen of a celebrated Irish wit. Lord E. declared in a large party that "a wife was only a tin canister tied to one's tail upon which Lady E. was presented with these lines: "Lord E. at woman presuming to rail, Calls a wife a k tin canister tied to one's tall And fair Lady Anne, while the subject he carries on, Seems hurt at his lordship's degrading comparison. "But wherefore degrading? Considered aright, A canister's polished, and useful, and bright; And should dirt its original purity hide, That's the fault of the puppy to whom it is tied."

Y , is situated on the west end of Long Island. It is separated from Kew York city by an arm of the sea, three-quarters of a mile wide, denominated the East Iiiver, i which connects the bay of New York with Long Island Sound. The viein- ! ity of the city of Xew York presents no finer situations than are to be found on the high grounds of Brooklyn. The city is regularly laid out, and the streets, with the exception of Fulton, are generally straight, sixty feet wide, i and cross each other at right angles. Some of the streets are wider. Brook- lyn is one of the finest-built cities, of its extent, in the Union. Its beauti- ful and airy situation, and excellent water, have made it a favorite place of residence to many individuals who do business in New York, as it is nearer the commercial centre, and living is less expensive there than in our own city. To these causes it owes a most rapid growth. Brooklyn is connected with New York by several ferries, the boats of which are constantly plying, durini; the day and night. Brooklyn is denominated the "City of Churches^" though statistics prove that their number is not so lanre, in proportion to the number of inhabitants, as those in the city of New York. Geonrc Jansen de Bapelyea, a Hollander, in 1625, was the first European who settled here. grocers' drugs. 125 The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle dew from heaven Upon the place beneath.

Near the Navy Yard, at the Wallabout, are interred the remains of 11,000 Ameri- cans, who perished in the British prison-ships, especially the Jersey, moored in the Bay during the Eevolutionary war.

Shakspeare was performing the part of a king; Queen Elizabeth's box was contiguous to the stage; she purposely dropped her handkerchief upon the boards at the feet of Shakspeare, having a mind to try whether her poet would stoop from his assumed majesty. She was mistaken. "Take up our sister's handkerchief," was his prompt and dignified order to one of the actors in his train. Drainage op the Human System. — Erasmus "Wilson, a distinguished physiologist, counted the perspiratory pores on the palm of the hand, and in a square inch found 3,528, with each of which a little tube a quarter of an inch long was connected ; making the length of tube in a square inch 832 inches, or 73^ feet. On the pulp of the fingers the number of pores was a little greater; on the heel the number was 2,268, and the length of the tube 47 feet. Taking 2,800 as an average of the number of pores to the square inch over the whole surface of the body, and seven hundred consequently the length of the tube in inches, the number of square inches of surface in a man of ordinary size being 2,500, there would be 7,000,000 pores, and 1,750,000 inches of perspiratory tube, that is, 145,S33 feet, or nearly 28 miles. How important the necessity of attention to the skin, lest this drainage be ob- structed.
