Above we present an interior view of
the new and superb bookstore, Nos. 346

long since by this \ ll-known publisliing 5
house. The shops in New York are
both causes and effects of its prosperity;

sociated with industry and bare money’s

buy his book as cheaply or (with the ex-
er, and will have his property beside in
convenience and elegance about liim.-
This is true enough of every fine shop ;
but most of all of a bookstore which is
converted at once from a mere wareroom
into a costly free public library. The
book-shelves of the Appleton’s we con-
sider no unliappy coniiiiuatiofi of the old
library that proceeded them. Certainly,
nowhere will be found greater facilities
for the knowledge of all the most impor-‘
tnnt departnients of literature in the new
and especially the more valuable works
oftlie day. The den in which an English
publisher hides himself, or the orller room
M
from which his publications are sold, of-
fers no such Iidvsntsgos to the purcha-4
set. You will find no such brilliant es-
tablishments -for books among the fa-
mous houses for wares of all other kinds
in Oxford Street, Regent street, or the-
Boulevards. The building now occu-
pied by the Appleton’: was originally
built for the purposes of the Society'L'i-'
brary, at the cost of about $90.000. in
1835, and was held for that purpose till
the last year, when It was purchased
with the lot for a sum exceeding one hun-
dred thousand dollars. The alterations
to adapt it to its present uses, a work of
no little judgment, have been carried out
"after the architectural plans of W. E.
Worthen, Esq., and consist chiefly of
the addition of a new basement and an
attic story, with the remodelling of the
great central body of the building by new
floors. These alterations, involving a
large expenditure, have been accompa-
nied by other changes and additions, ten-
ding to the convenience and security of
the premises. The whole building is
heated by steam pipes, supplied from a
boiler in a vault. under Catharine Lane;
this boiler also affords power for the sup-
ply of water to the upper stories, for the

"There! I declare, if Mrs. Burton has
not got a new cloak !” exclaimed Mrs.
Waxwell to her intimate friend. Miss
Viney, as they came out of church one
Sunday.
very quietly.
"I know her husband can’: sfford it ;
she will be the ruin of him yet.
"1 suppose" they know their own busi-
ness best. At any rate, it is a blessing
that you orI are not accountable for her
misdeeds," said Miss Vinny, who, though
what i3 technically termed an ‘old maid’
was not of that class who have been
slanderously styled gossip: and busy-.bod-
ics. And we have purposely introduced
her to refine the foul calumnly that old
niaids are nil meddlers-—snd we are
sure that _all spinrkers will be grateful to
us for the service.
“I don't know about that,” returned
Mrs. Waxwell, with a dubious shake of
the liend. “Mr. Burton owes my bus-
band three hundred dollars, andQ.don’t
believe he ever will get his pay, if
things go on in this way. That cloak
couldn’t have cost less than thirty dol-
tars.”
“I presume they could afford it, or
they would not have bought it—at any
rate they know best." '
“Mrs. Burton is a vain, conceited,
proud woman, and pride will have a
full one of these days.”
"I hope not.” »
"I hope she will have a fall,she would
drop some of those airs then."
"1 never thought she was what might
be termed a vain woman."
“She is; she is an impudont minx,
and the sooner she is brought down on
a level with her circumstances, the bet-
ter for her and the world.” V
‘*1 see she has,” replied Miss Viney, '
“She has the reputation of ‘~ein«_f :1
very kind hearted person, and an excel-
lent neighbor.”
“I\don’t care if she lias; she likes to
‘lord it’ through the village, and for one
I won't be ruled by her."
“Really, I do not understand you ; she
is as amiable and humble as any one
need be.” ‘
"Amiable and humble, indeed. lVhaI.
did she buy that new cloak for excepr.
to excite the envy of half the town, and
make them think she is somebody ?”
“I hope there is no one so silly as to
envy liar,” and Miss Viney cast a sig-
nificant glance full info the facQ of her
companion.
-‘I don’: for one; but I should like to
teach her that she is no better than the
rest of the world.” ‘
“She don't profess to be; she vi.-its
the neighborhood, and I'm sure tlu-.rc's
no better person in sickness, than ;-fie
_is.”
"All that may be.”
"W'hen you had the erysipelas, you
remember she watched with you when
no one else would.”
“I know it, but is one to be tyran-
nized over forever, because she watched
a few nights with me '9"
"How strange you talk 3”
“Do I? Didnt she buy that cloak on
purpose to cut :1 figure through the town
and make everybody feel cheap '3”
“No, I am sure sliedid not; she had
no such motive,” replied Miss V"iney,
smartly.
“I don’t believe it, there !"
-‘She is no such woman as that
“Yes she is, just such :1 woman as
that 3” '
"I have seen no one but you who feels
bud about it.”
"But me’. La sake ! I
have you think I feel bad about it. She
can wear what she’s a mind to, for all
me; only I hope she can afford it ; that
is all.”
“I think she can ; she has the repli-
tation of being it pretty careful woinziii.’
"I don't care; but I feel it my duty to
,warn my husband to look after his
debt. \Vlien things get to be so awful
extravagant, there’s no knowing wlim
may happen.”
“Mr. Burton is doing a very _~__-jood bu-

Mrf \VaxweIl was a farmer, and well
off in the world. The advent of the
railroad into his native town, had turned
things topsy-turvy in general, and the
heads of the women in particular——to
use Mr. VVaxwel|’s classical language.
Time was when they were content to
wear a straw bonnet and a calico gown
to iiieetiag; but now, they had to rig

l?:iriiicr W'axwi:ll did not much like

the one hand, and he did not like to be
thrown in the shade on the other. He
was about the richest man in the place,
but ten dollar bonnet.-7 and thirty dollar
cloaks, \V_ere abominations that he could
not tolerate. Mrs. VVa.\'wcll did not
like to be outdone in the matter of dress

husband, whom she found no difficulty
in convincing that Mr. Burton must be
ruined by the extravzigancc of his wife,
and that unless he immediately collected
his debt, he would certainly iose it.
As soon as she had done her washing
on Monday, she niadc some calls, and
embraced the opportlmity of couiinent-
mg freely upon that new cloak.‘ The
women told their _husbands that Mr,
Burton would certainly fail ; and before
three days had elapsed, there was quite
a ferment in the place.
Nobody knew anything about Mr,
Burton's affairs, he seemed to be doing a
good business, though no one knew of his
liziving any money- He did not even
own the house in which he lived-he
liad no property, apparently, but‘ his
stock. "The careful old ‘farmer, to whom

consideringa plan to extricate himself
from the dilemma, the news that his
‘goods had been attached, .-pread all over
the place. All the creditors were in hot
i haste to follow the track of Farmer
Waxwell—-for it was “first come, first
I served”—and in less than two hours a.
dozen had fssteued upon the stock of the
store. _
This was a tremendous result to lol-
lowin the train of a thirty dollar cloak,
and a gossipping old woman.
"What do you think now, Miss Vi-
ney '3” naked Mrs. Waxxvell, as they
met, soon after the storekeoper’s disaster
had been made public.
“I hope Mr. Burton will be able to

“But he won’t—I know he won’t !”
"Probably if they had given him any
-notice of their intention to demand the
payment of their claims. he would have
been prepared to meet them.”
“I guess Mrs. Burton will not feel so
stuck up after this.”
“I hope you have done nothing to
bring about this sad iesnlt.f'
“But I have—-I made my husband sue

"I am sorry you have done thi’s——you

"That’s just what I mean to do !” and
Mrs. Waxwell's malignant exprefiion
liurbored.
“You did.
ungrateful in you to do so,’
Viney, indignnntly.
"Humpb.”
"Any trader would be likely to come
out badly to have all his creditors pounce
upon him without giving him a chance
to collect his debts."
“I don't believe. he has any
fact.”
“Evenyour husband, as well oil‘ as
he is, might be embarrassed if suddenly
called upon to pay his debts," and Miss
Viney looked significantly at her angry
companion.
“I doubt it.”
“He may have a trial,” said the maid-
en lady, as she moved towards the door.
"What can she mean by that !” tho’:
Mn Wuvwell.
Miss Viuey had some property of her
own, and it was all in the hands of Far-
mcr Waxwell, who had, on his own ac-
count, inveoted the greater part of it in
railroad stock.
That is what she meant. She would
claim the three-thousand dollars Farmer
W. owed her, and a cold chill passed
through Mrs. W.'s veins as the thought
struck her. Farmer Wuxwell was rich
in horses, land and stock,‘ all of which
yielded him a good income ; but had not
three-thousand dollars in money, and it
might cost him some trouble to raise it.
“Don't cry, my de|r,I_ have enough
due me in Boston to pay these debts, ten
times over,” said Mr. Burton to his
wife, who was m.uch alsrmed by the
storm which threatened them.
"Whom will people think ?”
“Whit will they think when I pay
them all; the whole amount is not over
nine-hundred dollars.”
Just then Miss Viney entered the
house, In a few words, she explained
the circumstances which led to the sud-
den “gu-ikg” among the creditors.
Mrs. Burton, kind soul, shed a flood
of tears when she heard how cruel
Mrs, Waxwcll had been—she whom she
nuned with all the tenderness of a
mother, when the frightened neighbors
fled from the contagious disease’.
“Never mind it my dear". We may
expect anything from a medler, a gossip,
a slanderer,” said Mr. Burton. “I must
start for Boston in the noon train.”
"Allow me. Mr. Burton to offer you
the money to discharge these liabilities.
I have three-thousand dollars in the
hands of Mr. Waxwell.” ,
"You are very -kind, and I accept your
offer," replied Mr. Burton, “and next
week I shall have the means of paying
you, I assure you I am worth at least.
85000.”
In proof of his assertion he showed
her various notes, niortgages, and certif-
icates of ‘stock.
"I presume if the people here know
that I was not a bankrupt, they would
not have molested qine. In spite of all
my amiable neighbor, Mrs. 'Waxwc-.11,
may say. I think, I am abundantly able
to give my wife a thirty dollar cloak."
«I never doubted it,” replied Miss Vi-
ney, as she liasteiied on to the ‘village
lawyer, to put. her note in the course of
collection.
Farmer Waxwell was at dinner when
the lawyer, who was a personal fl‘l0,'nd’
called upon him.
“Sorry to trouble you, but I am in-
