Factories and workshops and counting: rooms, too, are full of occupants. In the Bon building alone, from the attic, where our compositors work, down to the engine And press room in the cellar, a gery reapecta- Ve number of people are housed, With all this vast multitude, there is never any ques tion whether New York is or is not a proper summer residence. They have to live hore whether or no, and wisely make the beat of it It fs not to be denied that there are draw backs to the pleasure of a summer residence inthe elty. It is hot here at thmes—awfully hot. The smell ot the strects, too, is not always quite as fragrant as that of hay Helds, gardens, and woods, The hard side: walk | not a gratcfal to the weary foot as the fresh turf, nor are rows of brick and stone buildings as pretty to look at as a country landseape. When we think of these things, we do not blame those who can afford to do eo for flying from the city during eum- mor. If possible, we should like to decree n ‘universal yacation, empty and shut up all the Jouses and stores and factories, and turn all the inhabitants of New York out to pasture from the middle of June to the first of Sep tember, This would only be applying the FKight-Hour law on a grand seale—to the whole year, instead of to the day—and perhaps, after all, nobody would be a bit the pooror for it. Still, Now Vork is not altogether destitute of mitigations to the rigor of ita summers, Human ingenuity can find alleviations for any aflliction, and 60 our stay-at-home citi vens have many little comforts to console them for their imprisonment. ‘Those, expe. y, who have money at their command by no means suffer unqualified misery Theatres, concert halls, icecream and lager heer saloons, drives in the Central Park, and steninbont excursions on the bay and rivers, aifurd frequent opportunities for enjoyment not by any means to be despised, It is the poor who ore, as they always are, the worst off They have to toil on, insummer or in winter, glad to keep soul and body together, and have not the means to indulge in expen: sive luxuries, Yet, even for the poor of Now York, there are opportunities for recreation, which they do not fail to take advantage of. Seven conts paid to the Third Avenue Rail- road Company, or eleven to the Eighth Ave- nue, will take a passenger quite beyond the pavementa, into regions which suggest, if they do not entirely represent, the country as Gop made it. It is plea- fant to see on Sundays, and even on weekday afternoons, the curs crowded with these humble lovers of rural delights nm, women, and children—going on or returning from their little excursions, Whe they come back, especially, it would do our pampered rich folks good to watch them, ‘Tired, hot, and dusty, with their children’s eyes half closed in sleep, thoy have yet a look of content, and clutch their bunches of wild flowers and shrubs with a satisfaction which the frequenters of Long Branch and Saratoga rarely exhibit. ‘Then, again, th is the Central Park, with its walks, and lakes, and swans, its flowers and shrubbery which is thronged from the beginning to the end of the season, Or, if a water trip is d wired, are thee uve che ferry voats, which, fora fee of from two to six cents, will give ust a8 much cool salt air as we can take in? A summer residence in. New York is not, therefore, quite unbearable; and when the autumn comes, bringing the fruits which have matured in suminer’s scorching heats, we shall confess that we have not suffered without compensations. We only want to have a little patience, aud keep as cool as we can, kemeiaieaae ab ES. Waiting for Judge Lott's Shoe It sometimes happens, when an old miser dies, and is known to have left a will, that hig most distant kin gather mournfully to- wether, heave deep sighs, and apply their andkerchiefs often to their eyes, as they soat themselves to listen with intense Inter est, not unmingled with anxiety, to the read- ing of the will, When we intimated, recently, that the aged Judge Lovr had been on the bench about long enough, and was entitled, in con sideration of his many infirmities, to retire to his farm at Gravesend--we think that is the name of the place where he resides— several touching tributes were paid to the cheracter and services of the old man, by our Democratic contemporaries. The Ja maica paper had an article of nearly a column on the high character of the former Judges of the Supreme Court in the Second District; and if it did not say a great deal about Judgo Lor suppose it said all it vuld, But it was the conclusion of the arti that was funny: it was hard to k Judge Lovr, but if—oh dear!—if the old man must go, why, then, how fortunate! Judge Beacu, of Queens, was just the man to succeed him. Sorrow aud hope—how sweetly they mingle together in the pol cian’s breast ! Other Democratic candidates have been named, WILLIAM Wicknam, of Suffolk, Las # judicial mind, and every requisite qualification for a seat on the bench; but he is not a selfsecking man, and will not be likely to rece: the nomination. There is another member of the Suffllk bar who is very anxious to be thought of in connection ther we with the office ; but he cannot persuade mon to be of his way of thinking on that subject, Kings county has forty nin fifty can.
