l JDocitlvki look for a UoiudliiK house, Nkw Youk, Oct.0, 1851. ITnring bocomo to a certain oxtont a fix tures la this high old town.it boenmo nocos eary to icaroli out a fit habitation, wherein I might oat, sloop, chango my shirts, (Dam lihool blushed,) and attend to tho other comlmla or tho external homo and tho in ner individual. Sly friend, Hull Doggo having deserted Ids lato piaco of rosidouco, (on account of tho perpetual roign of salt mackerel at tho breakfast tabic,) wo started together on a voyago of discovery. To doscribo all tho dilapidated gentlewomen whoso ntwrtmonts wo Inspected all tho many inducements which woro used to pcrsuado us to tako up our quarters in all sorts of musty-smelllng rooms, and to recount how many promises too mado 'to call again' would tako too much timo. Suflico it to say, that at six o'clock in tho cvenlnir. wearied out and desperate, wo cast anchor in tho domlcil of an Irish lady, with ono eye. oho assured us that her boarders wcro all 'rispict'tblo and and found their own tibacor and that tlicro was divil a bug in tho place' Wo took adjoining rooms aud resiguedly went down to tae. I noticed that my enphad ovidently bus tained a comiKiund comminuted fracture, and been patchod up with putty, (which camo off in my lea) that tho broad was scant tho butter powerful tho tea, 'on tho contrary quito tho roverso,' however, although mattcrslookcd somowhat discour acinc 'honinir anainst hopo' I returned to my virtuous sheets: horror of horrors I O. most horri bio 1 For two hours I maintained a sanguina ry combat with an odorsfcrous band of cannibal insects armed only with a firo shovel, I gallantly kept op tho unequal con flict but tho treacherous implement broko at tho critical moment ; I thought I should bo compelled to yield despair filled my senses mv heart failed mo my brain grew dizzy with horror buried thoughts of enemies unpardoned of duties neglected and of errors committed, rushed across my mind last thoughts of chorished homo and absont friends was in my heart, and with a hasty prayer for mercy and forgive ness, I was at tho point of yielding when my frantic oyes caught sight of my old cast iron boot-jack with a pious excla mation of gratitudo to heaven, (Hull Doggo cays it did not sound so to'him.) 1 seized it, nnd with tho desperato strength of a dying man, I renowed tho battle, and eventually como off victorious and triumphant. Wea ry with slaughter, I fell exhausted on tho bed and slept till morning. Dull Doggo, who had been engaged in tho samo delight ful occupation, appeared at tho breakfast tablo with ono oyo black, and his faco spot ted liko a tiger. Wo nctd a cuuuctt of war, and resolved instantly to quit tho premises of tho Emerald Islander, who ml uptpmI to 'lodi?o and eat us (tho sho. C'yciops!)and who nad so nearly fulfilled tho latter clauso by proxy. Another search and another homo. Hero for a week things went on tolerably woll ; tho steak was capable of mastication, tho coffeo wasn't always weak nor tho butter always strong ; but ono day there appeared at breakfast a dish of boef; (Hull Doggo asserts that it was tho fossil remains of an omnibus horso;) it was not molested; at dinner it mado its appearanco again ; still it was not disturbed ; at tea fragments of it were visible, but it yet remained untouched; in tho morning a tempting looking stew mado its appearance ; but, alas 1 it was on ly a weak invention of the enemy to con ccal tho ubiquitous beef; at dinner a meat Eio enshrined a portion of the aforesaid ecf; it went away unharmed. For a week, every day, at every raosl, in orery subtle form, in some ingenious disguise, still was forced upon our notico this omnipres ent bcof ; it went through more changes than Harlequin in the pantomime, and liko that nimblo individual camo always out un injured. At tho end of tho second day Dull Doggo grumbled to himself, tho third ho 'spoko out in meeting,' tho fourth he d mned au dibly, tho. fifth ho had a n hour's swear to himself in his own room, tho sixth, seventh and eighth ho preserved a dignified silence; but his silence was ominous on tho ninth, day wo both left Our next landlady had a gigantic mouth, but her nose was a magnificent failure. Wo staid with her a week, and left because she seemed to bo possessed of the idea that ono eausngo was sufficient for two men. For a month longer wo run tho gauntlet of all the model boarding houses. Wo wcro on trapped by ail kinds of alluring promises, and perpetually swindled without any re gard to decency ; wo had a tasto of Yan kco, French, Dutch, and, I montionod it bo fore, (yo Gods ft Irish ; and wo lived four days iu an establishment presided over by a red-eyed darkey, with a wifo the color of anew saddle. At last, ono day, in an ag ony of despair, I exclaimed, 'Whero, O, where, can humbugged humanity find a decent place to feed!' Echo answored, ' in the eating houses.' Wo resolved to try it, and tho result is glorious. Wo have achieved a victory, sir, an heroic, unexpec ted victory. And now farewell, all scrawny landla dies, yo snuffy beldames, with your wood, en smilefi; farewell, you vivaperous bod steads, yo emaciated feather hods, and yo atteennted bolsters; n long adieu to scant blankets, and mattrasscs stuffed with shit vinga; farewell to hisulo butter, and to un dent bread; good bye, ( 1 say with a tear ;) yo Immortal, everlasting beof; farewell tn sloppy coffee, nnd azure milk; ( Damphool says, not )ot;) farewell yo antediluvian pies, and Lllllputlon pudding; farewell yo two Inch napkins, end yo holy tablo-cloths; faro well, yo empty grates and rusty coal-scuttles; adieu, yocraokod mirrors which mako a man look liko a drunken Satyr; farewell yo respcctablo chairs, with dislocatod limbs; adieu, ye fractured tew cups, yo broken forks, nnd hnivos with Irtindsaw edgos; farewell, in fact, all yo lodging houses, whero vo can't havo a latch key, whero you can tell when they got a now girl, by tho color of tho haira in tho buscult, (I noticed tliis last remarkable fact some tlmo since.) Uivo us joy, lor wo liavo round a placo whoro things are done up right, whero wo can chooso our own viands, whero tho beef is positively tender, whero thoro aro no lit tlo red nnts in tho sugar, whero tho potatoes ero not waxy, and whero If anything goes wrong, wo can inllato tho waiter. In fact wo aro suited ; if anything runs short, 'John gets particular fits, and 'notli ing shorter ; whero wo can eat when wo plcaie, and call for what wo ploaso; whero charges aro modorato, and it is ormittcd to d n tho waitor for nothing. And horo in this Elysian spot, havo Dull Doggo ami I taken our daily broad, (beans and butter included,) for tho last mouth, 'without rear and without reproach.' As our poetical, Tom Plus, has remark ed, v.- "Joy, Joy, our task Is done, Our trials are past, and our Restaurant Is some.' Q. K. PlllLANDElt Dor.STICKB, 1. U. Rr.Lioio.v. Religion, that mossongor of Heaven, dwells not in cells or cloisters, but goes forth among men not to frown on their happiness, but to do them good. Sho is familiar and cheerful at tho tablo and firo sidesof tho happy ; sho is equally intimate in tho dwellings of poverty nnd sorrow ; sho encourages innocont smiles of youth, and kindles a glow of sincerity on tho vener able front of ago, sho is found, too, at tho bedsido of the sick when tho attendants havo ceased their labor, and tho heart is almost still ; she is seen at tho houso of mourning pointing to tho " houso not mado with hands;" sho will not retire so lorrg as as thero is evil that can bo prcvontcd, or kindness that can bo given ; and it is not until tho last duty is dono that sho hastens away and raises har altar in tho wilderness so sho may not bo seen by men.
