and other street sellers for carrying

fold as the articles they vcnd.
The pony—or donkey—carts (and the
latter is by far the more usual boost of
draft) of the prosperous costermou-
gers are of three kinds. The first is of
an oblong shape, with a rail behind,
upon which is placed a tray filled with
bunches of greens, turnips, celery, etc.,
while other commodities are laid in the
bed of the cart.
Another kintyisuthc common square
curt without springs, which is be com
structcd that the sides, as well as the
front and back, will let down and form
shelves wherecn the stock may be ur-
"tangcd to advantage.
The third sort of pony cart is one oi
home manufacture, consisting of the
framework of a body without sides, or
front, or hind'part. Sometimes acoster’s
barrow is formed into a donkey cert
merely by fastening with cord two rough
poles to the handles. All these several
kinds of carts are used for the convey-
ance of either fruit, vegetables or fish;
but besides these there is the salt vend-
cr’s curt, with and without the tilt or
covering, and a square piece of tin
(stuck into in block of cult) on which is
painted “Salt 31b. a penny." Then
there is the poultry cart, with the wild
ducks and rabbits dangling at its sides,
and with two uprights and a cross slick
upon which are suspended birds, etc.
:‘luuz norms in couples.
The above conveyances are all of
small dimensions, the burrow being"
generally about 5 feet long and 3 feet
wide, while the carts are mostly about
4 feet square.
Every kind of harness is used. Some
are well blocked and greased/and glitter-
ing with brass, others are almost as
gray with dust as the donkey itself.
Some of the animals are gaudily capari-
sound in on old carriage harness which
(its like a man's coat on a boy’s back,
while the plated silver ornaments are
pink. with the copper showing through.
Others have rude traces and bollybamls,
and not a few indulge in old cotton
handkerchiefs for pads.
The next conveyance (which, indeed,
is the most general) it the costcrmon-
ger’s bundharrow. Tl cse are very light
in their make, with s} rings terminating
at the axle. Some have rails behind for
the arrangement of their goods; others
have not. Some have side rails, while
others have only the framework. The
shape of these barrows is oblong, and
sloped from the hind part toward the
from. The bottom of the bed is not
bout-(led, but consists of narrow strips
of wood nailed uthwart and across.
When the costcr is hawking his fish
or vending his green stuff, he provides
himself with a wooden tray, which is
placed upon his burrow. Those who
(unmet afford a tray got some pieces of
board and fasten llu-m together, these
nusivering their purpose as well. Pino-
upplo and pineapple rock burrows are
not infrequently seen with small, bright
colored flags at the four corners flatten
