A CHANGE OF TUNE IN OLD NEW YORK.
BY SINBAD. When touring Yanks in London it was the.ir fashion and their custom, to find the fogs that flourish there a thing to trouble And disgust ’em. “ How can you ever live,” said they, “ when everything is dark and sooted, you never see the light of day, the atmosphere is so polluted. Your country we would not condemn, and we your city do not wish ill, but you alas at 10 a.m. must trust to lighting artificial. Now back in good old U.SA, there is of such a thing no danger, the sun shines brightly every day, and blue sky there is not a stranger.” Alas, for Yankees boasting all, their City’s air and climate vaunting, for now a sickly smoky pall, the ffegion of New York is haunting. An atmosphere of foggy gloom the lights of Broadway has invested, and towering buildings fail to loom within the region fog infested. The moral to the Yankee soul is being pointed every minute, it only needs a change of coal, and foggy London isn’t in it.
