After the snow, the emerald leaves; Af er the haryest, golden sheaves. After the clouds, the violet sky; Quiet woods when the wind goes by; After the tempest, the lull of waves; After the battle, peaceful grav.es. After the knell, the wedding bells; Joyful greetings from sad farewells. After the bad, the radiant rose; After our weeping, sweet repose. After the burden, the blissful meed; After the furrow, the waking seed. After the flight, the downy nest; After the shadowy river-rest. HARLIE'S KISS -0 I am sure nobody who sees m: aid husband now would believ ho was once one of the mos ,.ous-tempered men in all Eng d ; and, as the way in which red him of his folly was ver; kple, I will relato the mean rsued by me, for the sake o her victims to the absurd manif they male or female. My parents died while I wa ite an infant, leaving me to th re of my maternal grandmothei ho did her best to spoil me, ani ,s most sucoessful in her treai ent. The first eighteen years c y life were passed with feN als or troubles. My grand other and I lived in a cottage a ixton, the prettiest little spec n of suburban architecture im inable, the only drawback ii ich was a large stone porticc anny was very proud of this ur 7hUy thing; I bated it, not o count of its inappropriatenes. t simply because it intercepte y view of the garden gate, s it from our sitting-room win w we could not catch even impse of a visitor. Although my grandmother wa ther old, she was so full of lif d fond of making young peop] ppy that I never felt dull in he ciety, and made her the confi ntofall my little adventures, an e entered into them with all thl t of a girl. JOne day the even tenor of ou es was disturbed by the arriva an invitation from my aunt ~o lived at Scarborough, askin, Sto spend some weeks with her first I refused to accept it, fo s, my only other near relative s almost a strangor to me. "You will go, my dear Eva, t ige me," said Graspny, coa~ yr1; "I want to have the coi e thoro ughly done up, insid dout, and this will be an es lent opportunity." I went, spen t thbree mon ths ver; ligtfully at Scarborough, an urned home, leaving my bear tho safe-keeping of Claude Ar eson. I loved him very dearly; bu ertain fear which I felt for hir vnted that perfect love whic] ~uld have made mc quito happy tring the month we were er ~gd, before I left the Norti rely a day passed without on more little "snarls" taking ce between us. I know th rd I have used is a vulgar ont t no othor will answer my pur ~se, seeing that Claude and. i not positively quarrel. There were a great many nic ung men and lads in and ou my aunt's house all day long she was most kind and hospita i, beside being the mothe six very pretty daughtere ese male bipeds were constan rces of jealousy on the par Claude, who in all other re ets was sensible, clever, and ght say almost perfect. [ was unusually full of healt d spirits, also (he himself tol ) very pretty and charming A brought me a bouquet c es, B a box of preserve fruitt pug puppy ; in fact, the whol babet, assented by my six fe ale cousins, conspired with mn tease poor jealous Claude, unti isitively I believe he felt gla en he put me into the trail d sent me back to London witi old guard-ring on my finge d a doubting, aching heart. fecourse, when I reached home my doubts and fears were cor Led to dear Granny's sympathis gars. She listened to my tal love and woe ; then said: "He must be cured of this foll fore you become his wife, m; erling." A week after my return homn me a letter from Cla~ude, tellin; that he had received a ver; rative governmfen t appointmuen London, and was now in a pos n to ask for Granny's consen~ our early mnarriage. Ie came, anid made himself s reeable-there were no "letter the alphabet" to tease him at Granny thought I had es ~grated his weakness ; but sh s soon convinced of her erroi nteaftremnoon Claude came a usual: business had gone wron with him, and ho was rather cross. Grandmother went up stairs for her afternoon nap, and Claude began to read aloud to me -a most unfortunate proceeding on his part, for it happened that I was obliged to listen for the street door bell, and wished to conceal the fact from my companion. I never did care much for poe try, but that day I quite ab horred it. In the midst of a set timental piece which Claude was reading most beautifully, "ting, ting"? went the bell ; up I jumped, and with a muttering "Excuse me" left the room. The same interruption happened again, and a third time. I became so nervous that I left the sitting room door open, and this was the unlucky speech which met the ears of my offended companion: "Don't, Charlie, dear! Leave me albne, sir; I will. not allow you to kiss me, although I am very fond of you." Here followed a scuffle and some t suppressed laughter. When I returned to the sitting room. Claude stood looking the very picture of indignation. F "Pray may I ask who Charlie s dear is? Probably only a boy," said he, satirically. '"No, be is not a boy," I an s swered, with a careless laugh this "only a boy" was a sneering allusion to a lad of sixteen of whom Claude had once been jeal ous, and to whom I had justly I applied the term. "Then I must insist upon know ing what man dared -to attempt to t kiss you," exclaimed Claude, fierce ly. "Would you like to see him ?" I asked, tauntingly. And then we had a sharp quarrel, which ter minated in his saying: "Eva Raynham, I give you twenty-four hours to consider whether you will tell me the name of the impertinent rascal whom D you permitted to take such a liberty without properly resenting it. .If to-morrow nigh.t you per sist 'in obstinate reflsal, we must part then and forever. I can par don frivolity, but not deceit." I covered my face with my hands, and said in a low tone: ;"I can not." In a moment he dashed out of the room, and left the house, bang ing the street door so violently that Granny ran down alavrmed for the plate basket, and found "me-laughing immoderately. * * * * * * The next evening came, and rwith it Claude, looking so pale and wretched that I quite pitied him. Immediately on his arrival Granny left us alone and for a few minutes silence followed, which was broken by his saying in a most severe tone: "Have you made up your mind to tell the truth, Eva, or to make Vus both miserable for life ?" "I am not miserable ; nor would you be if you were n,pt such a foolish dolt," I answered. t"Heartless coquette !" he began, awhen a ring at the door bell Scaused me to leave the room b astily, for it was Charlie come again. Of course I expected Claude fto follow me-but he was not Smoan, dear fellow l Very soon I returned, followed Sby Charlie, on all fours. Yes, the 'offender was only a large fat ter Srier, blind of one eye, and old enough, even had be been a biped, not to awaken jealousy in Claude's breast. Never shall I forget the cx pression of humiliation on poor Claude's face at the discovery of rhis unknown rival. The cure was more than half completed, anid dear Granny finished it, for she preached such a beautiful little sermon about the folly of jealousy thatit made me cry, and Claude's voice was quite husky ~en next he spoke. After it was all made up, and matters were pleasant again, I said: e"Now, Claude, 1 will tell you why the bell had such a disturb ing effect -upon me yesterday. 1Our only domestic had gone out for the afternoon, and I, from a Sweak-minded pride, wished to con ceal the reduced condition of our establishment from you. First came the baker, then the postman, and, finally, the milk-woman, who is a great friend of mine, and solo proprietress of the offending Char lie. I am very fond of the poor old dog, but could never allow either him or any other animal to lick my face ; hence the expostu lation on my part, arid our recent quarrel, which has ended so satis factorily." SClaude looked at the matter so good-naturedly, and owned his folly n ith such unflinchingecandor, that I determined never again to flirt or teazo him, I have kept my > resolution, with one exception., Sometimes I say "bow-wow" to - him, and to this very day it makes -him gnaw his moustache with imn patience, for he is thus led to call .to mind the-to me-somewhat .s drol incidnt of "Charlie's Kiss." G FOR THE HERALD. to 6ROADBRIM'S NEW YORK b LETTER. U y( in No. 49. ) w The New York Markets-Washington Market W and Romance of the Olden Time--Ful- N ton Market and Sid Dorlon, the Fa mous Oyster-man---Business t Fe.ilures--Wrestling Bears, &c., &c. w Among the few old landmarks that W still remain to remind us of the good av old times, Fulton and Washington e markets occupy a very tender spot in the heart of every old New Yorker. Everything else is changed. In my n memory, the population of the city has an increased from three hindred thou sand to a million. Union Square, e which is now away below the center of the city, was then a suburban out skirt, to which people retired when p they wanted to get a mouthful of1 p country air. Amateur sportsmen ol wandered with dog and gun over the ground now occupied by magnificent houses on the Fith Aveuge, and there cc was pretty good fishing on the site of h< the Grand Central Depot. For many he years a new and magnificent temple I has occupied the site of old Trinity; ta splendid buildings with iroi, marble, ki and brown-stone fronts have gradually s displaced the tenements of forty years di ago. The Park is built all over, so that we scarcely know it. The site to of the old Presbyterian church, bc erected in 1867, between Beekman da and Spruce Streets, where once rested the ashes pf the patriot, Jacob Leisler, yo is now covered by the offices of the m Times and the World. The old p, building where the white-coated phil- st osopher of the Tribune penned those pe trenchant articles which made that at paper a power in the land, had dis- at appeared, carrying with it the Pewter a Mug and all its murderous crew of ni Paddy the Slasher, and One-eyed he Kelley, and Dickey Finch, Toad h< Hutchings, Mickey Mann, Red Jack al Walsh, and hosts of others who died bi with their boots on ; some shot, some h< killed in drunken brawls, some dying th in State's prison, and many of them br perishing on the gallows. Great men were the butchers of w; Washington and Fulton markets in st those days. A man desiring to make kt an impression in good society, gen- te erally traced his ancestors to some nt postdiluvian butcher. The vernacu- lo ir of the slaughter-house gave tone to fo our fashionable gatherings, and the cc flavor of the market-stall and the at meat-block compensated for Jockey cc Club and Odour Chinoise, which are la; now the delight of our modern belles. pl Grat.was the guild of butchers. They tii ruled our politics with an iron despo- te tism, unknown even under Fernando Wood or old Bill Tweed. But though M the,*markets remain as of yore, the m power has passed from the Sykeses w' and the Mose's, never, I trust, to re- t turn. y I do not believe that there is a city th of equal population on the face of the mn globe that has as disgraceful markets M as the City of New York ; nor do I NM believe that there are any markets in of the world which have a more magnifi- ar cent supply. Amid rickety old roofs th and tumble-down walls can.be found tb the choicest of everything that s,ims at in the sea, that flies in the air, or an creeps or walks on the ground. The tb fruits of the tropics are here in as wi great abundance as you can find them in under the Equator, and it is no un- m common thing to see oranges and lem- wi ons cheaper than you can purchase Je indifferent apples which are grown at in our own door. All sorts of fish from oc a whale to a smelt are daily to be bt found upon the stands, and vegetables th are served up as green in December in and January as you can get them of elsewhere in June or July. Figs, fo bananas, pine apples and grapes are to an be had through the entire year, and de at moderate cost. Such being the is fact, it is marvelous that New York tr has'never sought to imitate he/sister ol cities of the world, and give aer peo- w: ple a decent market. "We can't sc spare the time," said Mike Gillis to st~ me, as he leaned back against his stall wi and surveyed with pardonable pride co the fat quarters that hung on the th hooks above his head. "You see, sir, se I've been here-right here in this th weary dentical spot for more'n forty R year; it was thirty-six when I fast XV cum' into the market; Jim Keyser nc kept that stand right over on the cor- ar ner; you recollecks how Mose in the m 'Glance at New York' sed he 'killed of fur Keyser,' well, that was the wery gc dientical Keyser; he was a butcher, or he was; I've seen him knoek a bull th down at a single lick, an' he had the bt hide off of him an' all ready fur cut- ye tin' i seven minutes by the watch. hi Ys sir, I've seen him do it with my gl own eyes. Right over there is where pe Black Dan Harris killed Jim Macklin ar in forty-two. Dan got away to Texas, w~ and when gold was discovered in Cali- ki fornia some years arter, he drifted out Y there an' he made a big strike some if where near a place called Downeville, w and he got rich ; but Jin Macklin's hi son George, as nice a bpy as over ki lived. he never gave up the hunt look- b in' for Black Dan. I guess it was in tb 52 tae a w him one night in a v< mbling saloon in Downeville, and b st as he was stooping over his table, o1 eorge pulled his pistol and blew the i p of his head off. TLat vegetable-stall ti hind you is where old Sally Mannix nt -ed to sit ; I knowed her for thirty li .are, an' except Sundays she never fE issed a day, rain or shine. Two w clock in the morning found the old a oman in her stand, and she was al- P ays the last to leave the market. L hen she got so old that she could al Lrd}y walk, Jerry Shea used alors le run out and help her off the keer. n re felt orful bad to think that she ai as so poor, but when the old woman 01 as found dead one morning, and the S owner sot on her, they found hid ti ray, in stockings and places, over k ghty thousand dollars, and that ga- tl )t, Tom French, who said he was a a1 vvy, gobbled the whole of it, an' S w he holds his head higher than bi y man in the market. Between c u an' 'ne, he wasn't no more her ly vvy than I am, but that's between rselves. Did you ever hear about m andeville's son, of the old firm of la -ice & Mandevile,-well sir, his son w ,te was jest as good a butcher as the u, I mau. It's about thirty years ago, ti I recollect jest as well as if it was le sterday. There was a lady used to hi me down here every morning with m r liveried servant, a nigger, to do c r marketing, an' I tell you there fc s no foolin' her. She wouldn't ni ke nothink but the best, and she ai iew jest where to find it I tell you d e was pretty as a pink, and the A amorl4s that * woman wore was won- n rful. I used to chaff Pete, an' I le Id him him that ef I was in his li ots I'd walk off with her some fine w y, but I didn't think nothink, for I ai s only chaffin', but lo and behold ai u, sir ! sure, sure enough, one fine ai rning the lady didn't come, and bi te's father was cussin around the ui all, fur Pete didn't put in an ap- ai arance. He sent over to Gillises ai d got one of Gillises men to come fc d help, and he cussed Pete high % d low. Well, it got to be almost ci ght, an' a gentleman comes down tl re an' he asked old Mandeville ef w 'd seed the woman, an' the old man ir Lowed he hadn't and then he told a m as how she was his wife an' as c 1w she had run off with Pete. Well, tc ere was a row, you may guess. It y< oke the old man Mandeville's heart; y< never raised his head after. Pete 11 s blowned up on a Mississippi amer, and the woman, I never owned what become of her; but I LI you them women don't come to good as a general thing as fall in re with butchers."
