Sth. Rose before 5. Took a walk to the beach and enjoyed the grand view of the Ocean. Walked so far along the shore that it was near 6 o'clock before I returned to the house. A clever old wench belonging to the family procured me a violin from one of the neighbors. This afforded a very acceptable amusement. Before dinner I took a walk down a different road and came near the Narrows. I got Scot's Elocution. Reading this, walking and fiddling filled up the remainder of the day.
9th. The violin taken away last night; one source of amuse- ment withdrawn. I rose early and went to the beach where I bathed. In the afternoon, having chosen a new path, I followed it till I came near the Narrows. In returning I lost myself and

it was some time before I could find my way out of the wood. A young fellow who has been waiter to a gentleman from the Southward came to engage a seat in the stage-an arch chap with his magic lantern-I have seen him before cutting his capers round my father's door. Evening I paid my Landlord 18/. This evening I wrote a letter to mamma in Hudibrastic verse.
ROCKAWAY, JULY 9TH.
My dear mamma, and so forth, you No doubt expect as other do, From absent folks a line or two Of their affairs and circumstances, Health, situation and finances ; Of what adventures on the way And how contrive to spend the day. Of these I'll give a trite detail, If recollection does not fail.
My dinner cooked and eat in haste,
By one o'clock the ferry passed,
Behold me at Aunt Carpender's.
Must eat to dissipate her fears. At two the wagon hastens on, I sit as grand as Gilpin John
In sole possession of the Vehicle,
Except a lad the steeds to tickle. At famed Jamaica we arrive, Somewhat about the hour of five.
The horses and myself half famished Were now at Public House replenished. Our course resumed, the carriage roves
O'er smoother roads, through shady For proof, the negroes near me lurk groves,
And e'er the Sun had dipped his head, Quite sciss-ing hot in's wat'ry bed
That just before the close of day, We find ourselves at Rockaway. We stop at Vanderbilt's and there Methinks I snuff a purer air. Enquiries made of this and that And how and where and who and what, Subscribes himself
The time declared of my sojourning And eke the day of my returning, An early bed I sought, and there In Lethe's stream forgot all care.
And now another morn appears,
I rise betimes and rub my ears,
My eyes I mean, and straight off hand,
I bend my course toward the strand.
With vast surprise old Ocean saw
Obedient to his Maker's law
(A lesson this to you and me,
We've laws to-day as well as he),
But Sea-skips and such thing I tell ye
Can never fill a hungry belly.
Well -- hunger does my steps recall-
But why do I your patience maul ?
Now mental food is requisite
As well as corporal, isn't it ?
To overhaul the library Permission had, I therefore espy " The Heidelbergian Catechism," Purged of all heresy and schism,
" A Book of Hymns t'excite Devotion " And lastly "Scot on Elocution."
A violin procured, I play
As well as Orpheus any day.
And listen when they ought to work.
But stop ! my muse and quit your caper,
I fear you will run off the paper.
Your son affectionate ('till death
Shall knock us down and stop our breath)
Has scratched three lines and when he's done

P. S .- A draught inclosed I send that you My present residence may view.

10th. Went this morning to take leave of the beach. Last night I had very distressing dreams, occasioned I believe by leav- ing my collar buttoned. Before dinner I went and picked black - berries. At 1 o'clock, having settled with my landlord, I took a seat in the stage. With him a neighboring farmer, Mr. Ash from the Southward, and a young girl. The first and last left us at Jamaica, where we staid an hour. I walked about the town-a little after 4. We started again and arrived at Brooklyn about 7. Stopped a few minutes at Aunt Carpender's. Crossed the ferry and found all well. Mr. Reid has paid £19 for the map. I paid 4/ for having my old Hat dressed. My brother is much pleased with Winchester and is enquiring into his doctrines.
11th. This morning I began the tobacce stamp. Got a chip of the wood in my eye, which gave me much pain till my mother licked it out. Mr. Babcock called on me and took a set of engrav- ings for the Primer (which I had lying by) at 5 dollars. He left me another book to engrave the cuts for. I got 3 small books from him to look over, 2/3. Finished the Tobacco stamp and 3 other cuts. Stopped in at Scoles's. Before dark I went to Mr. Bailey's, and from that to Dr. Young's, where I played a few tunes. Father Waling drank tea with us.
12th. Sunday. Very warm weather. In the forenoon I heard Mr. Winchester in the Amphitheater,"-at dinner my brother started an argument, and in that case he generally has the faculty of involving himself in a dispute with Mamma. Afternoon. At church. The Bishop, Psalm cxix., 59. After tea I called upon F. Bates and went with him to hear Mr. Winchester. The build- ing was pretty well filled.
13th. Engraving at the map. A printer (a stranger to me) came to get 4 cuts engraved on type metal for Scott's Elocution. I agreed at 12/ each. Signor Falconi and Louis Jones called. The former wishes to have a large type metal cut engraved (an engagement between 2 ships). I read the newspaper at Gardner's while he was altering my coat. Bought hair-powder 1/6; bor-
* This was Rickett's Amphitheatre. On the 20th of April of this year its manager offered to exhibit one evening for the benefit of the poor, to purchase firewood. This was accepted by the corporation, and the sum of $340 was collected on that occasion.

rowed some prints from G. Baker, from which I drew a sketch of Falconi's cut. Left it at Jones. It being approved of, I engaged to engrave it for 4 dollars. Attended Dr. Smith's lecture. In the evening I paid 6/ for a ticket and saw Falconi's exhibition of Legerdemain and Italian shades.
14th. Engraved part of the map, 5 Hieroglyphics, and began Falconi's plate. Spent 4d for figs, and 6d for getting hair cut. I received 2/6 from Ad. Hicks for engraving names on a quad- rant and pocket scales. Mamma received the letter I wrote her from Rockaway, and is much pleased with it. I returned Ba- ker's map. W. Debow came to see me. I bespoke a plate of type metal at G. Youle's for a cut which I am to engrave for London. Evening-I read in Zeluco, the rest of the family being out.
15th. In the afternoon I finished Falconi's cut, and 2 Hiero- glyphics. Attended Dr. Smith's lecture. Called at Dr. Young's in the evening. When I returned Mr. Winchester and his wife were at my father's.
16th. Busy at the Hieroglyphics ; finished about a dozen of them. Mr. London found his way up into my work-room. Mr. John Youle came to get me to carve a figure of the State Arms as a model for a device on his Cabouses. Seaman's mother is much better.
17th. Engraving at the map. In the morning I cast type metal. Mr. Oram came up and surprised me, singing lustily at my work. He wanted some rules cast, this being a troublesome job I excused myself from it. Spent 6d for shoe ribbon, as much for a graving tool, and 3d for raisins. T. Herttell and his wife came in, we had 3 violins agoing.
18th. Engraved part of the map and one of Babcock's cuts. Jn. Dougall spent part of the day with us. After dinner we went to the Town-meeting before the City Hall .* The object of this Town-meeting was to condemn the treaty with Great Britain. But Col.

ing on a discussion of the subject in opposition to those who were for appointing a committee, a noise was made to drown his words and the assembly broke up in confusion. One party marched to the Battery and burnt the Treaty. I bought a piece of Nankeen of my father for 9/. This I left at Gardner & Niv. ens. I took Falconi's work to him; found him sick in bed.
19th. Sunday-I heard Mr. Winchester in the circus. Took a walk to the ship-yards after dinner; afternoon at Church. Mr. Bisset preached from II. Corinth., iii, 2, "Live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you." At 6 I went again to the circus, which was well filled, and heard Winchester from these words, " Which even the Angels desire to look into." After- wards walked on the Battery ; stopped at Bailey's. I found Mrs. Bailey prejudiced against Winchester because ignorant of his principles.
20th. I finished 4 of Babcock's cuts and 2 Hieroglyphics. At 12 I met with the rest of the crowd before the City Hall. The resolves of the Committee, expressing the people's disapproba- tion of the Treaty, were read and unanimously agreed to. In the afternoon Cousin Kate brought the remainder of my shirts. I paid 5 dollars for the making, altho' Aunt Carpender had signi- fied her intention of complimenting me with it. Evening .-- I went with Mamma to see Mr. and Mrs. Winchester at Campbell's. The latter is unwell.
21st. I finished 2 of Babcock's cuts and a number of Hiero- glyphics; copied botany. Undertook to engrave a cut for Tie- bout & Obrien, for Stern's Sentimental Journey. Falconi called upon me with a proof of the cut; some alterations to be made. Mrs. Tanner called to see me. I paid Lamplin 5/ for mending shoes.
22d. This morning I finished the cut I engaged to do yester- day-one of Babcock's and some Hieroglyphics. Mr. Scoles came and forced a job upon me to cut a seal in brass for a Notary Public. I called on Falconi's. He is ill with an intermitting fever. After receiving his directions for the engravings, I under- took to furnish him with a remedy for his disorder. He paid me 8/. I went to the apothecary's and laid out half of it in medi- cines, with which I made him a box of Electuary. W. Debow

23d. Finished two of Babcock's cuts (the last of the book), 6 Hieroglyphics and one of Bunce's ships. Bespoke a piece of brass at Bailey's for the Seal. Drank a glass of mead there. Wrote several pages of Botanical Fable.
24th. This morning I spent some time at writing till I fin- ished the Botanical Fable, with more pleasure than I began it. Returned Lee's Botany and got Sully's Memoirs from the City Library. Engraved at the map. Got the brass from Bailey's and paid 3/. Afternoon called at Dr. Young's. Got fb20 of type metal from G. Youle. Got a proof of Falconi's cut and left at his lodging.

26th. Heard Mr. Bisset. Acts xxiv, 24, 25. In the after- noon, James Sacket accompanied us, who was much dissatisfied with the Catechising, as he called the service. Mr. Beach preached, Psalm civ, 24. After tea went to the circus and heard Mr. Winchester from these words, "I am the Resurrection and the Life," &c. After a walk with my brother returned home, where I found Dr. Young, old Mr. Herttell, his wife, and Mrs. H., Jr. The latter gave me an account of Capt. Sinclair's cruel usage of his son and servant. Harriet Bailey and her sister Charlotte called to see us about 9 o'clock.
27th. Fell to work at the 15 rules for Gaine and finished them before 10 oclock. Paid G. Youle 16/6 for typemetal and Gard- ner & Niven 30/ for making 2 pairs of Nankeen breeches. Mr. Bunce sent to hurry me with the ships which I promised some time ago. Mr. J. Youle came to see if I had carved the device for his Cabouses. I wrought a little at the seal.

work. Benj. Holmes * spent part of the afternoon and drank tea with us. The Final Restoration became a subject of debate be- tween my brother and him. Mr. Stanford called upon me to consult about some vignettes or ornamental engravings for his periodical publication. Jamy McIntosh t came with two of his acquaintance, and we had a Calidonian Fiddling Frolic.
28th. Spent most of the forenoon carving Mr. Youle's pat- tern. Went to Mr. Gaine's office to see the rules which have been the means of putting him in a passion. Called at Seaman's to give consolation and advice to the poor old woman, and at Bird- sall's, where I got no consolation, for I came away without cash. Finished 9 Hieroglyphics and 4 ships, the latter for Mr. Bunce. Evening copied a letter and read in Sully's Memoirs.
29th. Engraved 18 Hieroglyphics. Mr. Oram came with a parcel of Gaine's rules which were spoiled by an English En- graver. I corrected them. Mr. Winchester found the way into our room and sat a few minutes. Stopped at the house where Mrs. Rose lived, not knowing of her removal. Startled a young woman who was reading on the stoop.
30th. A rainy day. In the afternoon I finished the Seal and delivered it to Scoles, who paid me 28/. Before dark began Falconi's mermaid. This being in some measure a day of rest for my father, towards evening he took up the violin and gave us some sweet Scotch music.
31st. Engraving at the map. Caught cold from the dampness of the floor under me. Mr. Reid came to know what progress I had made. Having finished the cuts for the first 36 pages of the Hierog.

THE MINOR AND OBSOLETE STREETS OF NEW YORK.
A city that has not passed its meridian is continually changing its thoroughfares. They are becoming longer and wider, and their names are not permitted to remain as they were. To some a bad reputation is attached ; others are not dignified enough, and still others offend some popular feeling. Thus in New York Anthony street, once inhabited by the vilest of the vile, has been christened anew as Worth street; Chatham street had acquired an unsavory fame as the place where old clothes dealers and Peter Funk operators were to be found, and its appellation has changed to Park row, thus losing a name identified with American and En- glish history for the sake of an unmeaning and trivial one ; King street was abolished because it reminded our people of royalty, and Tin Pot alley, briefest of all thoroughfares, was changed to Edgar street. The sensibilities of the neighbors could no longer be shocked by such an undignified title. The same course was adopted in France after the Revolution. Old streets had new names, on account of deeds of blood that had been done in them. In Paris many years after this one of Eugene Sue's novels gave so horrible a reputation to one of the thoroughfares that to pre- vent the almost total destruction of property upon it the name was changed. There is, too, a desire for alteration in order to give a compliment to some later person or thing. Thus in New York Jackson avenue has become University place, and in Albany Lydius street has become Madison avenue. In twenty or thirty years, when Madison's name shall no longer be regarded as one of the chief among Americans, that, too, may be altered. The roll call becomes greater each decade.
In the pages which follow a list is given of the obscure and forgotten streets of the metropolis. The books taken as authori- ties are Longworth's Directory of 1831, Doggett's of 1846, and Trow's of 1882. These are at a distance of fifteen and thirty-six years respectively from each other. There are only one or two street directories of an earlier date than the first of these. At

the earliest of these periods New York had a population of about two hundred thousand ; at the second four hundred thou- sand, and at the third thirteen hundred thousand. The upper limit of streets was, in 1831, about Sixth street; in 1846 about Eighteenth street, and in 1882 Fifty-seventh street. At each period there were large districts below these lines still unbuilt on, while in some localities houses were numerous still further in advance. Yet this distance may be said to be as high as there were any considerable number of houses. Fifth avenue had no city dwellings on till 1839, a country tavern being the sole struct- ure before existing, and Broadway in 1831 ceased exact number- ing below Great Jones street. Bond street was first built upon in 1822. Pretty little cottages could then be found as far down as Franklin street, each with a flower bed and garden.
The streets and public places of New York in 1831 were Al- bany, : Albany Basin, Allen, Amity, Amity lane, Amos, Ann, Anthony, Art, Asylum, Attorney, Augustus, Avenues A, B, C, and D, Bank, Barclay, Barrow, Batavia, Battery place, Bayard, Beach, Beaver, Beekman, Benson, Bedford, Bethune, Birming- ham, Bleecker, Bond, the Bowery, Bridge, Broad, Broadway, Broome, Burling slip, Burton, Canal, Cannon, Carlisle, Carmine, Caroline, Catharine, Catharine lane, Catharine slip, Cedar, Centre, Chambers, Chapel, Charles, Charlton, Chatham, Chatham square, Cherry, Chestnut, Christopher, Chrystie, Church, Clark, Clarkson, Cliff, Clinton, Coenties slip, Collister, Columbia, Commerce, Corlears, Cornelia, Cortlandt, Cortlandt alley, Crosby, Cross, Cuyler's alley, Delancey, Depeyster, Desbrosses, Dey, Division, Dominick, Dover, Downing, Doyers, Duane, Dutch, East Broadway, Eden's alley, Eighth, Eighteenth, El- dridge, Eleventh, Elizabeth, Elm, Essex, Exchange, Exchange place, Factory, Ferry, Fifteenth, Fifth, First, Fletcher, Forsyth, Fourteenth, Fourth, Frankfort, Franklin square, Franklin, Front, Fulton, Gay, Goerck, Gold, Gouverneur, Gouverneur alley, Grand, Great Jones, Green, Greene, Greenwich, Greenwich lane, Grove, Hague, Hamersley, Hamilton, Hammond, Hancock, Hano- ver, Harrison, Henry, Hester, Hoboken, Horatio, Houston, Howard, Hubert, Hudson, Jacob, James, James slip, Jane, Jay, Jefferson, Jersey, John, Jones, Jones lane, King, Lafayette

East Broadway had formerly been Harman street, Grove had been Burrows and Monroe had been Lombardy. The highest numbered street was Twenty-first. It was opened from the North River to Third avenue; Twentieth was opened from Sixth ave- nue to the river; Nineteenth, Eighteenth and Seventeenth the same distance; Sixteenth from the river to Seventh avenue; Fifteenth from Eighth avenue to Broadway, and Fourteenth, which was the jail limits, from the North River to Third avenue. None of these streets had houses upon them numbered. The same is practically true of the numbered avenues. The highest number on Sixth avenue was 75, which was at the corner of Sixth street ; First avenue had some numbers below Second street ; and there were a few numbers on Avenue D. Madison and Lexing- ton avenues had not been planned, nor Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues, and Fourth and Tenth avenues had not been opened.
There was no numbering in Amity lane, Art, Battery place, Benson, Bond, Collister, Cortlandt alley, Cuyler's alley, Dover, Eden's alley, Eighth, Eleventh, Fifth, Gouverneur alley, Great
