From the Harifard Cauranf.

A Church in the Air.
Oncc, wandering through the land of dreams,
In search of something new,
A church-’twas on a Sabbath morn-
My curious notice drew ;
And thinking I should see the mode
Of Christian worship there,
I entered just in time to hear
The closing hymn and prayer.

And when the hymn was given ‘out.
With what astonished face

I watched a lady clad in silk
Bent forward from her place,

To share her book with one whose lobes,
So scanty were and mean,

No maiden formed of earthly mould,
To greet her would. be seen.

And yet I saw not that the deed
Lessencd 9. single grace,

But rather that a. sweeter look
Bénmed on the maiden’s face,
And while I pondered in my mind,

How such a. thing could be,
The whole assembly joined to sing-
Some time-worn melody.

And yet the music of that choir ,
Right pleasant was to hear.
Though nothing in the strain I found
To please a critic’s ear ;
But childhood joined its ringlngtones
With those of faltering age,
And rich, and poor, and old, and young, _
In that blest work engage. 1‘

And here no fashionable airs,
The tedium to begnile,

Are set to solemn hymns of praise,

And sung in opera style.

And well, thought I, the church of Church
This mockery might spare,

I ccased——for every head was bowed

In reverential prayer.

And all in spirit seemed to join.
Nor could I well forbear,

For Christ, and not the minister,
Was most apparent there.

Its words of charity and love,
Did the whole truth embrace,
Unfettcred by the love of sect,
That modern Christian grace.

in And little did I care to know --

If Old the School, or New,

From whence the soul of such ‘a man,
Its rich instruction drew,

His teacher none could well mistake ;
One only can impart

Lessons of wisdom that can guide

Too soon that fervent prayer was o'er,
The benediction dskerl,

And slowly down the spaciourfalsles
The congregation passed,

Slowly, as one might turn his back
Upon the gates of heaven,

After a taste of ung'el’s food,

Unto his soul was given.

And new kind greetings were exchanged,
With many a friendly word,

And Christians met, as Christians should,
Who serve one common Lord.

One heart, one mind, one earnest will‘
Seemed to inspire the whole,

As friend to friend with freedom told

Strange though it seem, no single word,

Not only did they “ shut up shop.”

And look the otiice door,

They turned the key on worldly thought,
Till holy time was o’er.

When speaking in its praise.

They _did not call it “ great,” or “ deep,”

Or “thank their stars they had a man
After the people's heart.”

But whispered -low, with moistened eyes,
“ How precious was the word ;
How full of hope the promises
Their strengthened souls had heard _:"
And murmured blessings on his head,
Who laboring by their side
In all simplicity and truth,
Preached Christ, the cruciflcrl.

I heard, and could not silence. keep,

all the inhabitants swindle strangers,
where the cars go in a hurry, the wai-
ters are impudent, and all the small
boys swear.

Wheti I came in sight of the suspen-
sion bridge, I was vividly impressed
with the idea that it was "some” bridge,
in fact, a considerable curiosity, and a
"considerable" bridge. Took a glass of
beer and walked .upto the Falls; anoth-
er glass of beer and walked under the
Falls; wanted another glass of beer, but
couldn’t get. it ;, walked away from the
Falls, wet through, mad, triumphant,
victorious, humbug!‘ humbug! Sir, all
lhumbugl except the dabhleness of eve-
rything, which is a most certainty, and
the cupidity of everybody, which is a
diabolical fact, and the Indians and nig-
gers everywhere, which is a satanic
truth.

Another glass of beer--‘twas forth-
coming—immediately—also another, all
of which I drank. I then proceeded to
drink a glass of beer, went over to the
States, where I procured a glass of beer
--went up stairs, for which I paid asix-
pence; over to Goat Island, for which I
disbursed twenty-five cents; hired :1
guide, to whom I paid half a dollar-—
sneezed four times, at nine cents a
sneeze,—-went up ‘on the tower for a
quarter of a dollar, and looked at the
Falls--didn't feelsnblime any ; tried to,
but couldn’t; took some beer, and tried
again, but failed--drank a glass of beer
and began to feel better-.-thought the

low was one sea of beer—-was going to
jump down and get some, guide held
me; sent him over to the hotel to get a
glass of beer, while I tried to write
some poetry--result as follows:

Oh thou (spray in one eye) awful,
(small lobster in one shoe,) sublime (both
feet wet) master-piece of (jimmeny, what
a lie,) the Almighty! "terrible and ma-

up again to save your puny existence;
you make a great fuss, don’: you.
Man came back with the beer, drank
it to the last drop, and wished there had
been a gallon more-«walked out on a
rock to the edge of the fall, woman on
the shore very much frightened——l told
her not to get excited if I fell over. as I
would step right up again~it would not

of beer of :1 man, another of a woman,
and another of two small boys with a

something to eat—went into an eating-
house, ealled for a plate of beans, when
the plate brought the waiter in his hand.
I took it.,:hung up my beef and beans on

DOESTICKS ON CROTON WATER.

- NEW Y/0121:, July 29, 1854.
Seventy Hundred and One, Narrow st.

Only once. in my life have I been
drunk. It was a youthful inebriation,
caused by partaking too freely of cider
made from apples with worms in it. At
present I am sober. VVhet.her,‘ for‘ the
last four and twenty hours, I have been
so, is the point requiring elucidation. If
during that period, I have been intoxica-
ted, then the time has arrived when any
person , who wishes to have a regular
“drunk,” need only apply to the nearest
hydrant. Heretofore I have supposed
water to be a beverage, innocent pm]
harmless; but no\v—\vell no matter—I
will not. anticipate. Listen, while I re-
late a “plain, unvarnished tale.”

I left my boarding-house, in company
with a friend, intending to visit the
Shaksperian revival at Burton’s——the
“Midsummer Night's Dream.” Before
leaving the hotel, at his suggestion, we

and also that the (second and third of

which we drank on the spot.) were as

the malicious bar-keeper ; for I remem-
ber experiencing a slight confusion on
going out, and mistaking a topsail schoo-
ner for the Broadway Theater.

We immediately entered another‘sa-
loon, to procure the wherewith to steady
our nerves, when we partook of two
gm cock-tails and a brandy smash indi-
vidually, and I state, according to the
best of my knowledge and belief, that
our principal ingredient in each and eve-
ry one of these compounds was water--
Croton water—culpablyintroduced ther.
in by some evil-disposed persons, with.
out my knowledge or consent. On lea.
ving the saloon, I noticed that my friend
although a single man, had by some mys.
terious process of multiplication, become
two. I kept fast hold of both, and, af.
ter doubling, with .a great deal of difii.
culty, a great number and variety of cor.
pets, we reached Burton’a. Tickets be.
mg mysteriously procured, we entered,
and eventually obtained seats. Finding
after prolonged trial, that it was imprac-
ticable to put my hat in my vest pocket,
I placed it on the floor, and put both
feet in it. The theater generally seemed
to be somewhat mixed up. The par-
quette, gallery, and dress circle were all
one ; and the stage was whirling at a
rate which must have ‘been extremely
inconvenient to the revolving actor.

At length after a liberal allowance of

overture, the curtain went up, and I
was enabled, by the most unremitting
attention, to concentrstethe actors suf-
fictently to understand the performance.
And many things which I hitherto
deemed incorrect, were presented to my
wondering vision, then and there. “Hip-
polyta” was dressed in knee-breaches
and brogans ; and "Titania” did not, to
_me present a very fairy like appearance,
In a fireman’s shirt, and a three-cocked
hat. “Oberou" was not so objectiona-
ble,_(beiug a gentleman) in a talma and
plaid pantaloons, though even he might
have blacked his boots, and omitted the
spun? And I fear I did not properly
appreciate the rest; of the fairies, who
had their heads decorated with sunflow-
ers, and their hands full of onions.
At last, the entertainment was conclu-
ded, and I remember consulting my du-
plicate friend, as to the feasibility of a
return to Brooklyn, to our boarding-
house. On our journey thither, we wit-
nessed many strange things about which
I desire information. In the first place,
is it the custom as a general thing for
the City Hall and Barnum’s Museum, to
indulge in an animated contra-dance up
and down Broadway, in the midst of the
night, accompanied in their" fantastic
movements, by the upper story of Stew-
art's, and the Bible Society’s Building?
for they certainly did on that eventful
evening, and I feel called upon to enter
my solemn protest against those noctur-
nalarchitectural saliatory exhibitions,
as unworthy the dignity of the Empire
City. And I would with all humility,
suggest, that if the stony goddess of
Justice, whose appropriate place is on
the City Hall, will desert her responsible
post, she might choose a more becoming
amusement than sitting cross-legged on
the top of a Houston st. stage, playing
the jewsharp.

I am now convinced that the, Bowl-
ing Green fountain is not permanent/,-y
located on the top of Trinity Church
cross, but that it was, on that memora-
ble nighl, my wondering eyes bore am-
ple testimony. I am sufficiently well
acquainted with the City, to know that
the Astor House should be found on the
corner of Barclay st., but 1 am ready to
take my oath, that on that particular oc-
casion, it plied, as an opposition ferry
boat, between \Vhitehall st., and Hamil-
ton av. The last thing I distinctly rec-
ollect is, trying to pay the fare for three
on_this novel craft, with a single piece of
money (which I now know to have been
Bungtown copper.) and demanding two
and sixpence change, which I didn’t get.

In the morning I found myself in bed
with my overcoat on, and afterward dis-
covered my boots under the pillow-
my hat in the grate, with my pantaloons
and hair brush in it—-my watch in the
water jug, and my latch key in the bird
cage. I presume I had tried to write a
letter to some one with my tooth brush,
as I found that articles in my inkstand.

Now, if Croton water interferes with
my susceptible system,in this unaccoun-
table manner, what; shall I drink '3 I
would resort to milk, but I fear our City
edition of the lucteal, contains sufficient
of the aqueous enemy to again upset
my too delicate nerves. To you only
can I come, and I exclaim, like Cesar,
when he too was afflicted with superflui.

The Bufalo Express asks us, in such

DOESTICKS VISITETH THE MUSEUM.

Ssvnxrr Hoxnasn no ONE, NARROW-ST.

MR. EDITOR :—I have now been a res-
ident of this City long enough to know
something of the localities thereto apper-
taining—-know where the City Hall is,
ditto Hospital. Also where the Astor
House is generally located, can tell the
general direction of Mercer and Bowery
streets, from the Crystal Palace, and can
at most times of day, point out Trinity
Church with a tolerable degree of accu-
racy. Have been to the Battery, for
which I paid a shilling to the dilapida-
ted Hibernian who attends the iron por-
Lal-afterward visited (by particular de-
sire) the cooked hat shaped Sahara known
as the “City Hall Square”-—saw the
splendid fountain, with its symmetrical
basin filled with golden fishes (as I was
credibly informed, I could not exactly
perceive them myself,) in the midst of
its elegant miniature forest, (yet in its in-
fancy) gazed, with admiration, at the an-
cient structure denoininatod the City
Hall, said to have been built by the au-
cient Greeks. of which I have not the
slightest doubt, as all the avenues lead-
ing thereto were thronged with modern
Greeks, whose general costume was not
so‘ classically correct as I could have
wished, looked at the glorious fountain
which adorns the center of the spacious
lawn, admired the magnificent propor-
tions of the vast forest trees which rear
their lofty forms therein-gazed, long
and earnestly at the glittering ject (not
quite so lofty as I had been led to sup-
pose) of the magnificent fountain embel-
lishes the princely grounds, then turned
to look at a circular edifice, which, I con-
fess, did not strike me as being remarka-
ble for architectural beauty, but which
undoubtedly, is exceedingly useful, then
turned to feast my wondering upon the
diamond-glittering drops of a fountain
near at hand; looked, with much ap-
probation npon the wide and spacious
avenues, and the clearly graveled walks,
and alsoat a fountain near by, which I
think-I have before mentioned ; survey-
_ed the other fine buildings near at hand,
which adorn and beautify that triangular
piece of earth; and ever returned with
constantl y increased gratification, to view
a beautiful lake, in the center thereof,
from the midst of which, burst forth, in
aqueous glory, the waters ‘of a fountain;
snnn, convinced that‘I had seen my mo-
u.r~y’s worth, I prepared to leave_—cast-
in; one longing, lingering’ look behind,
(as my friend, D. E. G. Gray says,) at
the glorious, old,-classic ruin—the Hall,
and the plnvial splendors of the fountain
\\"cnt out. but, looking back, perceived,
in the splendid parks I had just left, there
l'l‘-$5.‘, in "misty majesty,” (vide somebody
the jet of a fountain. Resolved to return
axis! have another look at the ivied and
t.-.rurublin‘g ruins, and also, to inspect,
minutely, a fountain, which I now per-
ceived, hard by.

Wishing to be perfectly posted up, I
went to the Post. Office, (the Evening
Post Ofiice,) and obtained a paper, con.
mining the latest news of the day, and
a list of entertainments for the evening.
\Vishing to see the Museum, of which I
had read, and also to, behold Barnum, of
whom I had heard some “mention, (in
connection, I think, with one Thomas
Thumb. and -I9i__ce Heth, an antiquated
and venerable lady, colored, who after.

visit that place’ ofrlelectation, “perfectly

Up stairs, at last, and into an adoles-
cent theater, christened 3 Lecture Room
(Damphool says it IS known as the Den.
con's Theater, and that. all his pious
namasakes attend.) Saw the play, laugh-
ed, cried, sneezed, snorted, and felt good
all over. Much pleased with abit. of
fun originating in a jealous fireman, and
terminating in a free fight:

Fireman Mose saw Rose, his sweet-
heart, with Joe, the hackman ; got jeal-
(ms, pitched into him, fun, thought of
Tom Hood, and went off, at half cock,
thus:

Enter Bose with J oe, sees lVIose, Mose
beans Rose; Rose knows those beaux
foes, Jo_e’s bellicose, so’s Mose, Mose
blows Joe’s nose, Joe's blows pose Mose
Rose Oh’s, Mose hoes Joe's rows, Joe's
blows chose Mose‘s nose, Mose shows
J oc’s nose blows, Joe's nose grows rose,
Mose knows J oe’s nose shows these bbws
Joe goes Mose grows.

P. S. Joe being whipped, and more-
over, being the only innocent one in the
whole fight, was arrested by the vigil-
ant. and efficient police.

P. P. S. Damphool says that Joe
treated the Emerald conservators of the
public quiet, and is again at large.

Let Mose beware.

DOESTICKS SEES THE AMERICAN TRA-
GEDIAN.

New Yonx, No. 7,001, Narrow-st.

I_ have always had a passion for theat-
ricals, and was, at one time of my varie-
gated existence, much more instantly.
connected with the stage than at present
and on reaching this City I felt, of course
a great desire to behold again the then-
ter, with all its brilliant fascinations, the
light, the music, the varied scenery com-
prising gardens, chambers, cottages.

gorgeous palaces,” bar-rooms, churches,
huts and hovels, to look again upon the
glass jewels, the tinseled robes of mimic
royalty, the pasteboard banquets, and
molasses wine, and all the glory» “P‘lde'
pomp, circumstance,” and humbug.
which I once ‘(know so well," “et 9110,
rum magna pars fui.”

So, with my trusty friends, Damphool
and Bun Dogge, I wended my way to
the Metropolitan Theater. No. 1, to
see and hear the distinguished Mr. Ran-
taurave Hellitisplit, the notorious Amer-
ican tragedian, in his great, original, un-
approacliable, inconceivable,inexplica-
ble, incomprehensible part of "Wtlat a
