"No not so bad; because a man agreed

A -SlIoddy Part -y. •
. (Pram Sunshine and Shadow.) '
• One of the citizens of New York was
a hatter. He •earned a very good- liv-
ing. at the business. His wife made
vests for a fashiouable -Oiler. She
1-riade them well, andby her industry
added. much to the comfort of the
household.. Byone of ahose' sudden
turns of fortune -which . overtakes men
rn this city,- the man found himself in
possession of qu'te a sum. of money.
He .abandened ,hattmg, and his wife
gave up making ,vests. ;_ He bought a
house :in. an up -town- neiglibat hoed.
His wife proposed an *entree into -good
society .by giving alarge party, ; The
Shafting and tailetina• acquaintance were
:to.be ignored; - They had no others. A
-ikew order of associates were to. be
made through the party. Had these
people understood the way of doing
thieg in New. York, they would have
gone to Brown, of Grace Chareh, paid
him a Itandspine fee, and he weuld have
stocked the parlors with all the com-
pany desiralaa instead .of this, tliey
took the Directgry, selected five nun -
died names, among whom were some of
the most Prominent of our citizens, and
'sent out invitations, right and left for
aa evening named.' ' No expense was
spared:to .make the evening a great one.
The huse was -gaudily ft tanished. The

MRS. BURDELL--CUNNING-
HAM.
The noted premises, 31 Bond street,
in this city, were occupied by Dr. Har-
vey Burden. He was a dentist, lived
in good style, and was reputed to be ai
man of wealth, and a gentleman. Ttel;
Mrs. Cunningham, to whose character
and position he was ne stranger. He
had known her from her youth. She
was reputed to be clever, and to have
talents. She waa pooi. with no visible
moans of support, and with grown-up
daughters cn her 'hands. bhe kept
house for Dr. Burdell, and ntertained
such company as she chose t receive.
She livel n luxury, and • assed her
summers an ong the gay andf shionable
at Newpert and Saratoga. ne morn-
ing the murdered form of D • Burdell
was found lying on the ca -pet in his
office, welt ring in his blood. The
family who occupied the upper part of
the house were absent. Men of poli-
tical distin tion had rooms over Dr.
Burdell'sa rtments. They came in
at eleven o' lock at night, and all was
still. Ther was no noise or outcry ;
no struggle beard during the night.
All eyaes tu eed in search of the mur-
derer. Eve y ear was alive to the
slightest sir, gestion, every foot quick to
chase the most improbable rumor.
Men and w men were put on. trial for
their lives. Nothing was proved
against theil. The perpetrator .of the
bloody dee may never be known till -
he stands a the bar of God.
gas. CU NINGHAM AS A WIDOW..
When it was known that Dr. .Bur -
•dell was d ad, his honaekeeper pro
claimed her -elf his Widow. ; She fell
on his rating ed body, and shouted out
her grief it pa. oxyism .of Woe. 'She
clothed hers lf in deep mourning, and

ER MARRIAGE..
On her trill before the surrogate, the
confusion, w nt of self-possession, and
contradictory statements of the officiat-
ing clergym 'in left the surrogate no al
ternative bu to rajeat his testimony.
The stateme it of the daughter that she
was present at the wedding, availed
nothing. et, if human testimony
can be relie on, and any marriage can
be proved, t is very certain at u Dr.
Burdell. was married to Mrs. Cunning-

murdered in Bond. Street, and Who was
carried to his burial as Dr Harvey
Burden Just before the marriage
testified to by Mr. Marvia, Dr..Burdell
visited Saratoga with Mrs. Cunningham
and took rooms at Congress Hall. A
daughter of Mrs. Cunningham's was at
the Seminary, kept by be Rev: Dr.
Beecher. The next morning after the
arrival, Dr. Burden and Mrs. Cunning-
ham visited the Seminary, and bad an
interview with Dr. Beecher. Up to
this time Dr. Burdell had paid the board
and tuition bills of the young lady.
He now stated to Dr. Beecher that be
had come 111.7 to make arrangements
for the expenses of the young lady
while he was absent from the country,
as he expected soonto sail for Europe.
He made arrangements for Dr. Beecher
to draw on New York for the monthly
and quarterly payments as they should
become due. He stated that his 0.)--
sence from the coantry would make no
difference with the regular payment of
the bills. Mrs. Cunningham was in
the room while these arrangements were
being made Turning towards Mrs.
Cunningham, Dr. Beecher jecosely said,
"I presume you do not intend tq go to
Europe alone." Dr. Burden replied
by a loud laueb, a shrugging of the
sliouleers, and other indications, that
he intended to take the lady with him.
Mrs Canningham was silent, but smil-
ed, and blushed an assent. These facts
did not come out on the trial*
HER DAUGHTERS.
1While in prison, Mrs. Cunningham
was confined iu a small, narrow cell;
which was full of buga, fleas* and ver-
min, and which was lighted by a hole
in the wall, for a window. Three per-
sons cotild scarcely remain in the cell at
one time. She seemed to be about
forty years of age; stout, but well
formed, very tasty in; her dress, hair
raven black; eyes sharp and sparkling,
handsome features, complexion pale,
and her whole contour handsome and
attractive. Crowded into thiS narrow
cell were her two daughters. Their de-
votion to the4r mother was remarkable.
They shut themselves out from society,
and passed every day in the close and
heated cell. Jp prison and out they
worked for their own and their mother's
sapport. Handsome and polished in
Lheir manners, ever y one spoke -well of
them for their quiet and modest deport
ment. The jailer never flung open the
gates of the prison so early in the morn-
ing that he did .not find ;these daugh-
ters outside waiting- for adniission.
When the iron doors closed on their
mother at night, the officers had to use
force to put them on the pavement,
over which they trod to find some
friendly shelter for the night. only to
return at early dawn and renewtheir
toil in the society of their mother.
There are millionaires in New York
who would give half their fortune to
receive from their children such assur-
ances of filial affection.
SHARP BUSINESS AND ITS
VALUE.
There are two kinds of business men,
and two kinds of business in this city.
The old school -merchants of New York
are few. Their ranks are thinning
every day. They were distinguished
for probity and holior. They took time
to make a fortune., Their success prov-
ed that business integrity and mercan-
tile honesty were a good capital. Their
colossal fortunes and enduring fame
prove that to be successful, men need
not to be mean, false, or dishonest.
Astor, Cooper, Dodge, Stewart, Stuart
Brothers, the Phelpses, in business, are
representatives of the same. class.
When Juhn Jacob .Astor was a leading
merchant in New York, In- was one of
the few merchants who could buy goods
by the cargo. A laige dealer in teas
knowing that few merchants catild out -
hid him, or purchase a cargo, concluded
to buy a whole ship -load that, had just,
arrived and was offered at auction, He
had nobody to compete with, and he
expected to have evetything his own
way. Juat before the sale commenced,
to his consternation he saw Mr. Astor
walking leisurely down the wharf. He
went to meet him, and mid, "Mr. Astor
I am sor y to see you here this morning.
If you will go to your countiug mom,
and stay till after the sale, give you
a thousand d011ars." Without thinking
he very person who was much about , it, Mr. Astor consented,
turned on his heel, and said, "Send
round the check" He found that he
had made one thousand dollars and
probably lost ten thousand &liars. Eat
he Kept his word, and that is the way
he did his business.
The lease of -the Astor House ran
out some time ago. Just before it ex-
pired some parties from Boston tried to
hire the Astor Douse on the sly, over
the heads of the Stetsons. In a private
interview with Mr. Astor, they wanted
to know his terms. He eplied, "I
will consult Mr. Stetson, ami let yon
know. 1 always give my old tenants
the preference." To consult Mr. Stet-
son was. t� defeat the object they had
in view, and they pressed it 310 farther.
No one asks a guarantee of .the old
New Yotk Merchants that he will net
cheat in the comn:odity which he sells.
TWO XACADIMIZED ROADS.
The path to success is plain. It can
hardly be missed. Yet success is the
exception. 'The road to conuw-rcial
ruin broad and well-known as Broad-
way itself, yet it is crowded. Some
men always get along. Throw them
up any where and they will come down
on their feet. Thus continued pros-
perity follows a well known law. One
of the best known presidents of oue of
our banks began his career, by blacking;
boots. He came to New York a pen-
niless lad, and sought employment at a
store. „" What can you do said the
merchant. "1 can do anything," said
the boy. "Take these boots and black
them, then." He did so, and he black-
ed them well ; and he did everything
well. Quite a young man has been
promoted to be cashier over one of oar
leading banks, and that over older men.
His associates dined at DeImonico's.
He ate a frugal dinner daily in one of
the ito_us of the bank. Industry,' in-
tegrity and pluck are at a preinium in
in New York. Men envy Stewart's
success who never think of imitating
his toil, or his business integrity. Mn
Cla.fi. in, the Rival of Stewart, works
more hours a day than he requires any
employee to do. Till quite recently be
made his own. deposits in the bank.
Yet defalcations are many. Cases of
...mbezzlement abound. Revelations of
:raud are daily and startling. Men of
aigh standing are thrown down, and
deSCI tan ( a. ried to their homes.
aonesty, rash speculations, stock gam -
ling, expensive horses, with women,
wine, fast and high living, tell the story.
alost of our large houses and enterpria-
.ng morchants and Tr)ich men have pt
,ale.time or another,one down. Many
such have taken off chiq.e coots, rolled
.tp their slev. s, and gone at it again
seldom without success. Many have
given up hope and taken to the bottle.
New York is full of wteclis of men,
who, because they could not pay their
notes, have flung away character, talent
and all.
OASES IN POINT.
In one of the tenement houses in this
city, a beno.o.ant lady, searching foi a
